Tho Palatka Herald says OF the Great

all the navies In the world. You can there see
animals nowhere mentioned in books on anil
mated nature. This lake % sixty miles long
and from ten to twenty miles wide; 1t Is lar
beyond the hahitatlon OF civilized man; lts
shores are seldom troubled by hunters, and
even the Indians keep far south Of is bor-

This from the Palatka Herald: mo
special crop has attracted more attention Oh
late years than the orange. The LOCALITIES ID
which It can be probably cultivated are re-
stricted to Florida, and statements concern
ing the proftableness OF orange culture are
most attractive, and show how large fortunes
may be made In q few years. Failure OF in-
conslderate enterprises can be traced IN every
branch OF business. But with q properly Sc
lected locality, and with care and cultivation
necessary for the success Of any crop, orange
culture offers q splendid field for profitable In
vestment."
