The members of the Woman's Club
have determined to improve the ap
pearance of our streets and alleys.
To that end they are obliged to have
funds with which to work. Through
the courtesy and interest of Messrs.
Jackson & Wilson, hardware mer
chants, the Woman's' Club is given
an opportunity to raise money for
the above mentioned object and oth
er civic improvements. They wilt t
take charge of this store on Monday
morning, Dec. 9, and continue in
charge for two weeks, making sales
and collections. They ask the inter
est and co-operation of the entire
city.
Rev. J. R. Cason. presiding elder,
will preach at the Methodist church
tomorrow morning. This is the oc
casion of the fourth quarterly con
ference, and the last visit this year
to this charge. The conference will
take place Monday night at the
church, and this is especially im
pcrtant because the officials for the
next year will be elected.
Sunday evening the pastor will
preach on the Vanities of Life, a spe
cial sermon on opportunities and
failure. A cordial invitation is ex
tended to all people to attend all
services.
The annual et.nferen; e is only .
little over a week off. and the
church is winding ii; all lut-inei-s
for the year. This cl'iir 'a is oe o
the strongest of the ilMi.m'.uaion in
the State, and always carries a flat
tering report to the conference. The
prospects are that the report this
year will be one of the best ever
n.r.de.
' iiarv condition, the Woman's Club
has taken up the job, and to aid
theia in their efforts the Jackson &
Wilson Co. has agreed to give the
club a per centage on all sales and
collections made by members of the
club during the month of December.
So on Monday morning next mem
bers of the Woman's club will come
into the Jackson & Wilson Co.'s
plate of business and the entire
stock will be for them to sell from.
Members of the club will also be
n.ado collectors for December. The
Jackson & Wilson Co. bespeak for
tlese ladies the courtesy and con
sideration due them in their lauda
Me efforts. W. K. JACKSON,
o o o
Mrs. T. E. Speer, who has been
visiting in Kissimniee for the past
ten days, returned to the city this
morning.

Within a couple of days Lakeland
vill have the privilege of entertain
ing between ."iOO and 1.000 visitors
from all parts of the State. These
people will carry away with them an
impression of Lakeland, and wheth
er it is to be good or bad, rests with
her citizens. The city has put on
a force of men cleaning up the
streets, but they may not get in
front of your house to pick up the
paper and trash that has accumulat
ed and which your neighbors can sej
ii you haven't yet noticed it. So we
vould suggest that all good house
wives get out and take a look at
their sidewalks and the Btreet in
fiont of their homes and keep thy
same swept and garnished while the
visitors are here.

sustain the reputation of Lakeland
