plain provisions meal rice, homny; seltrsising Hour
Bacon butter, &c. Secure a good tent and plenty OF
blankets If the days are warm the nights will often be
cool. DO not be afraid of getting BACKED with pine

DO you ask whether you may wisely make
home in this region l answer frankly, no.
In general the soil poor. There is suitable society
in this region There neither markets, schools nor
churches. The sabbath ia unknown. Your children
would be doomed 10 paganism II you should rear then
here unless whole colony of good citizens settle mere
together. But a place In which they that nave lung
diseases yet not too much weakened may sojourn,
this region is not surpassed. The nights are almost
always dry. Hills 20 purify the air. The mode OF
life Is favorable Lounging In hotels, or along CITY
streets swallowing nOstrums attending meetings OF In
valid clubs where each member makes study OF NOR
bid hstOrynone of these things are here Inc days are
not half long enough You ask to be called early 10
catch the turkeys at their roosting places You SIT by
the blazing campfire at night, recalling and recountlng
the of the day, and discussing your plans Ir
the morrow. For me, exile for Winter 10 the sahn
hills OF interior Florida has lost its terrors. Here
gained pounds Of flesh. Here burned rich complex
ion upon my cheeks Here have gained health with
which to do further battle in LIES work elsewhere Such
Winter in Florida, although within the means OF the
humblest, is far more beneficial than voyage 10
Europe.
