Miss Delia Mae Marshall
Wedded to Mr. A. L. Rhodes
Last evening at eight o'clock a
quiet wedding was Solemnized at the
residence of Mr. and Mrs. n m
Marshall on South Maaanrhiionn.
- ""WVUUUl,h.9
Avenue, when their daughter, Miss
Delia Mae, became the wifn of Mr
Andrew L. Rhodes, the ceremony be
ing performed by the Rev. W. B.
Curtis, Rector of All Saints.
Before the ceremony Mrs. Oscar M.
Eaton sang "Drink to Me Only With
Thine Eyes," (Ben Jonson Mozart)
and after the ceremony, "Schubert's
Serenade.", and dainty refreshments
were then served.
The guests consisted of the mem
bers of the immediate famllv and a
few intimate friends.
The double parlors were tastily
decorated with potted ferns, goldon
rods and yellow cosmos. The bride's
costume was of embroidered tricotine
in areindeer shade, draped over dark
blue velvet and she never looked
lovelier than on this occasion. She
carried a bouquet of white rosebuds
and lilies of the valley.
This event comes as a surprise to
many, but Miss Marshall's popularity
in Lakeland, where she has grown to
womanhood, will cause her to receive
the best wishes of numerous friends.
She is a young woman of many splen
did traits of character, as well as of
personal charms.
The groom has been a resident of
Lakeland for several years, being
connected with the Pullman Com
pany. He is a young man of exemp
lary habits and is to be congratulat
ed on his choice of a helpmate.
Mr. and Mrs. Rhodes left last
night, 'mid a shower of rice and good
wishes, for a two week's visit in
Ohio, with Mr. Rhodes' mother, after
which they will visit Chicago, Pitts
burg and other northern cities. Th'-y
will make their home in Lakeland.
Mr. George Card well, of the Lake
Hollingsworth neighborhood, has re
ceived a postai from Ms son, Erne?!
Cardwell, stating that the latter has
reached this country and is now in
a hospital, presumably In New York,
and expects to come home soon.
Young Cardwell was the first Com
pany D boy to be wounded in France,
the Evening Telegram reporting his
injury on August 27, and official no
tiflcfttlon from the government reach
ing his father a month later. It is
evident that his injuries were very
severe, but the fact that he has been
able to reach this country encourages
the hope that he is rapidly recovering.

Secretary Baker
Tells Telegram
Readers To

On Page 3 of this paper today,"
through the public spirit and liberali
ty of the First National Bank and the
State Bank of Lakeland, we present
a message from Secretary Newton D.
Baker to the people of Lakeland, rela
tive to the Importance, the supreme
necessity, of the success of the
Fourt Liberty Loan.
This advertisement was prepared
by the United States Treasury De
partment, and its publication is made
possible, as we have stated, by our
loyal and patriotic financial lnstitu
tutions. We trust our people will
heed its message and that every citi
zen will, by precept and example,
help to assure Lakeland's reaching
her quota.
Jivered to Mrs. Pillans at Chatta
nooga she confirmed the news of Dr.
Pillans' death reporting her condi
tion much improved. According to
her telegram the remains were to be
brought to Orlando for burial, but a
later telegram said the body would
be burled in Oakland. It is the opin
ion of the relatives here that a mis
take was made in the message, which
should have read Ocala, as It is the
desire of the greater part of his rel
atives who live In that section that
the remains be laid to rest in the
family lot of that city. Until defi
nite instructions are received from
Mrs. Pillans there will be no fur
ther arrangements made for the
ourlal.
Dr. Pillans leaves many friends to
mourn his loss, his brothers being
Charles Pillans, Louis Pillans of
Ocala. Sisters, Mrs. J. R. Durrance.
of Tarpon Springs, Mrs. J. W. Mar
tin of Electra, Fla, Miss Dixie Pillans
and uncle, U. P. Pillans of Lakeland.
Relatives in Orlando are Dr. Maynard
Fvans. a cousin; Donald Evans , Mrs.
J. A. Evans, an aunt, and Mrs. N.
L. Bryan, a cousin.
Dr. Pillans was a man of retiring
disposition and unassuming manner,
and only those whose continual as
sociation with him resulted In the
gaining of his confidence knew him
well enough to estimate him at his
true value. He was wholly without
sveophant in pretense, and dospised
sham and hypocrisy, and once a man
earned his friendship he had a friend
worth while.
Dr. Pillans came to Orlando from
Ocala some ten years ago and has
s'nee practiced his profession here.
He has always enjoyed a hlfch es
teem of his fellow physicians and the
entire public with waom he has come
In contact.- About five years ago Dr.
Pjllan married Miss Pauline Cliff.

Large Crowd
Attended Labor
Meeting In Park
Last Night
Last night about 600 persons gath
ered in the Park to attend the open
air labor meeting conducted tiy the
colored people, the audience blng
colored people, the audience being
made up of about equal parts of
white and colored people. .
The permission of the Mayor was
secured to hold this open air meeting,
and, although there were not a great
many white people present when the
meeting opened, many gathered when
they heard the excellent singing of
the combined choirs of the colored
churches, this being a feature well
worth going a long ways to hear. The
first selection was "Way Down Upon
the Suwannee River," which was
followed by . "Columbia, the Gem of
the Ocean," "America." and the "Star
Spanflled Banner." Two negro re
ligious melodies were also sung, with
out piano accomplment, and these,
with the others, were roundly ap
plauded. Rev. J. A. Branson, local colored
pastor, introduced Rev. S. J. John
son, who, in turn, in flowery lan
guage which reached to the skies and
back, introduced Congressman H. J.
Drane, who had been asked to intro
duce the main speaker of the even
ing, Mr. Geo. E. Haynes. In the
course of his introduction of Con
gressman Drane, Rev. Johnson took
occasion to say that he felt highly
honored to be able to present one of
the leading men of the United States,
and had all present get out their
handkerchiefs and give Mr. Drane
the Chautauqua salute, which was
enthusiastically done.
Mr. Drane took occasion to tel
the audience that the men of the
124th regiment, few of whom received
more than $30 per month, of which
more than $30 per month, of
which they had only about
?6 or $8 per month for themselven,
had purchased $100,000 worth of Lib
erty bonds, and the people of Lake
land who had not given liberally,
should emulate the example of our
boys in uniform and "come across"
with large subscriptions.
The colored speaker of the evening
Is director of Negro Economics at
Washington, and representing the
Department of Labor, he, brought a
message to the white and colorod citi
zens relative to the labor situation
which was enlightening and will no
doubt assist the government in secur
ing necessary aid when call for labor
is made. "
An October morn Is as good to look
upon as a September morn.
One of the greatest living men to
day is Will Power and when this fel
ler Will Dooit and he get together,
there's no Liberty Loan too large to
float.
