TO LAKELAND

There's charming city of cleaning
lakes,
4 few miles in from the sea,
Where the live oak mingles it's gloss,
leaves
With those of magnolia trees,
And the mocking bird murmurs a
sleepy note
To his mate when the sun is low,
While voices of children tired from
play,
Hing out as they homeward go.
The long, shady streets, the walks and
drives
Are filled with a cheerful throng,
Ready with nod and pleasant smile
AS you happen to pass along.
And you, 'ths stranger within the
gates"
Forget that many. a mile
Separates you from your own home
town,
In the flash of friendly smile.
Then it's good to breathe the flower
scented air,
All heavy with sweet perfume
For Easter lilies and jasmine here
Soon follow the orange bloom.
And you wonder how 1t can ever b.
true
That snow is falling at home.
AS naught but June-time greets your
eye
Whichever way you may roam.
You want to share 1t with loved ones
and friends,
This stray bit of heaven you've found,

tinued illness at the home Of his son
liz Tampa. The attending physician
announces his condition critical and
his son, Rev. Burke Culpepper, OF
Memphis, Tenn, has arrived to be

A peculiar sad feature OF the case
III the fact that another son, Rev.

with some affection Of the heart, at
bis home in Kansas City, Mo.
It will be recalled that Rev. Mr..
Culpepper began a meeting in this
city at the Myrtle Street Methodist
church about three weeks ago. He
preached twice on Sunday, being
forced to deliver his messages sitting
in a chair. On account OF the serious
ness Of his condition the revival
meeting was called OF, and he and
his wife went to Tampa, hoping for
en- improvement in his condition un-
Ger the care Of a specialist.

EXPERT SWIMMER BROWNS
AT WINTER HAVEN

After showing off from shore in q
row boat without oars, Monday morn
ing, Bryan Aslanian, Ia years old, be-
came excited and jumped into Lake
Alfred and drowned.
Although an expert swimmer, &C
cording to the statements of those
who knew the lad, young Aslanian
was drowned before help could reach
him. The boy had been playing near
the waters edge for over an hour
when he decided to play in an oarless
rowboat beached near where he was
playing. Jumping into the boat he
raddled out from shore a short dis
lance using his hands to propel the
boat. A light breeze blowing from
off shore pushed the boat farther out
and the lad noticing this became
frightened. AS the boat continued to
float farther from shore, Bryan sud
denly jumped into the water, evident
~ too excited to know what he was
doing. A boy on shore saw the
drowning boys head appear twice up
on the surface of the water and then
finally disappear. The lake was drag
ged for several hours before the body
was found, after which 1t was brought
to Winter Haven to Wares Undertak-
ing Parlors. The body was unclaimed
until late Monday night Winter Ha-
ven Chief.
