VISITING PARTY
TOURS COUNTRY
THIS MORNING

The party of Pennsylvania tourists
reached Lakeland last evening and
left early this morning for sight
seeing trip through the country sur
rounding Lakeland, the autos neces-
sary being furnished by public spirit
ed citizens. Most of the party, which
numbers nearly ninety, are from Ian
caster county, and all are from south
eastern Pennsylvania, the trip having
been arranged by Mr. Shank Of the
party in conjunction with the rail-
roads. The trip is paid for in advance
by the travellers at cost of $250.00
each, and they have already taken in
the east coast of the state, and expec.
to see Tampa, St, Petersburg and 9TH
er west coast towns and to stop in
Atlanta and one or two other points
of interest on the homeward stretch.
Members of the party talk interest
ingly of their impressions and state
that they note a greater agricultural
development in this part of the state
than in other sections visited
Most of the party belong to the re-
ligious sect known as Mennonites, and
speak the dialect of the "Pennsyl-
vania Dutch. They belong 10 the
prosperous farming class that has
made Lancaster county so well-known.
While their quaint dress and dialect
attracts the attention of the residents
here, the tourists are in turn noting
and commenting on the mannerisms
and customs that seem queer to them.
Before leaving on the trip this
morning, each member of the party
was presented with a choice orange
by the local branch of the Florida
Citrus Exchange.
Lakeland's hospitable spirit was
right on hand and the visitors are
leaving with warm expressions of ad
miration for Lakeland beautiful
scenery and wonderful climate.
Finest Country Yet
The party this morning had g very
enjoyable trip. The towns and COM
munities visited were: Auburndale
Lake Alfred, Orange Villa, Winter
Haven, Eagle Lake, Barlow, and Lake
land Highlands.
They returned to Lakeland at 1920
and many of them, speaking for the
entire party, declared that the trip
this morning was the most enjoyable
they had made in Florida, and that
the country they saw was the finest
they had visited.
