LAkELANp,s WEATHER

Refreshing showers came to
thirsty Lakeland last night. Short
1y after 6 o'clock rain clouds were
seen away off to the eastward along
the Ridge country. By z o'clock
there was much lightning off to the
northeast and by o'clock the rain
came. For half an hour there was
a gentle, steady downpour with oc-
casional flashes of lightning and
crashing thunder. The weather bu-
reau's measuring instrument
showed that two-fifths of an inch
fell during the hour and half
from to $50 when the stars came
out again. The rain did a world
of good to local groves. More would
be quite welcome and more is in
prospect before the end of the day.
AS result of the showers the mer-
curry went down to 50 degrees dur
ing the night and at noon today

Is to 10 years old; 37.5 per cent, near
" two 1fths, are men and women in
the prime of life, being from 20 to -
years old; while 1874 per cent, being
IS years of age and over, are well
along in middle life if they have not
reached old age.
The urban population as compared
with the rural shows some rather
striking differences in age, the per-
centage 20 to Al years of age being
43.5 for the urban population as COM
pared with $40 for the rural, while
the percentage under is years of age
is 27.5 in the urban population as
against 36.7 in the rural. These diff
ferences may indicate larger families
of children in the country than in the
city, but probably indicate also the
fact that country children, as they
grow up have tendency to flock to
the cities thereby increasing the active
adult population of the cities at the
expense of the rural districts.
a little over one-half OF the popula-
ton. 554 per cent, are old enough to
vote, being Fl or over; and in this
class the men out number the the wo
men in the ratio of ITO to 100. The
males of military or fighting age, IS
to A. constitute 400 per cent of the
male population and 2o.4 per cent Of
the total population.
