Third Car Strikes

Lloyd H. Thompson, an employe OF

about eleven o'clock, when third car
came by and struck the car which he
was preparing to tow back to town,
at the time when Mr. Thompson was
between the wrecker and the ear he
was attaching to it.
Mr.. Thampson's most serious in
juries are about the head. He also
has several broken ribs, and many
severe bruises. 1t was stated at the
hospital today that his injuries are
serious but are not thought to be ia
tai.
1t appears that somewhat earlier in
the evening George Kramer, of the
Lakeland police force, had the wreck

Earl Allen and Madison Galloway.
While he was between the wrecker
and the car fastening the two to-

H. H. Crews of near Lakeland,
crashed into the city's Ford, inflicing
much damage to both Fords, and
jamming Mr.. Thompson between the
city car and the wrecker.
Mr.. Crews, who was arrested for
reckless driving, is said to have
stated that he saw the lights on the
wrecker, but was not able to stop his

Mr.. Thompson, who has been in
Lakeland less than year, had made

and his condition is a matter of wide

LEGION MINSTREL
SHOW POSTPONED
TOMORROW NIGHT
Splendid Dress Rehearsal Shows a
Production Full Of Life and
Excellent Music

In spite o fthe inclement weather,
the American Legion boys and the
young ladies who are assisting them
in putting on the Dixie Minstrels,
turned out for dress rehearsal Mon
day night, and the harmony and pep
of the rehearsal indicate that his will
be one of the most delightful shows
ever presented here.
When the weather at noon today
showed no signs of letting up in its
mad career of raining, the boys, in
consultation with the directors, Mr..
Allison and Mr.. Rudisill, decided to
postpone the show for the conven-
fence of the audience. 1t was thought
that many who have bought tickets
might be kept at home, while those
who attend might have to make their
way to the Auditorium through u
Gownpour such as has prevailed the
last "a to Sc hours.
The show will be put on tomorrow
night instead of tonight, and it is
hoped that a better brand of weather
will be turned on by then.

The Stroller

The Boss called us up yesterday
and asked us if we had anything.
Well we had wet feet and the curl
was all out of our hair and all that
rot. We rose to remark as follows:
Boss, how do you expect the
STROLLER to stroll in this kind of
weather? If we had boat or some
such means of conveyance we might
be able to get about, but we enjoy
rain most from the inside looking
out
Weather like this is conducive
(good word for this weather. to phil
osoprizing. We do not claim to be a
philosopher, but like most people we
are affected by conditions about us.
This weather is like some people
we know, unreasonable. Rain is
beneficial, all growing things need it,
but we rise to remark with ABE Pot
ASH that TOO MUCH IS ENOUGH
We could have dispensed with the
wind also, but then we are not kick
ing, we like to take things as they
come. But still, the observation that
this weather is like some people holds
true. We have in mind a fellow that
would be well rounded mon only
he is unreasonable He still thinks
that the Yankees are a better team
than the Giants.
Have you been down around Vista
heula street lately? The weeds on
that street remind one of deserted
village. 1t does not take much eff
fort to clean up and it does add to
the attractiveness of our city.
We heard a good one the other day.
One of our foursome remarked that
he was &c A. r." golfer. How do
you mean?' we calculated. We'll, |

they write the STROLLER for the
point of the joke. enclosing a self
