The "get-together" spirit of the
people of Lake City and surrounding
community was in evidence last
Monday evening, when an aggregation
of perhaps 500 assembled in
Hall's prizery for the purpose of enjoying
the delicious spread offered
by the newly organized Chamber of
Commerce. The enjoyment of the ,
occasion was accentuated by the at- .
tendance of approximately 150 ladies,
who have hitherto lived in the ,
hope of seeing this forward step taken
by the representative men of the ,
