THE MESSENGFp WI,

TIE MESSENGER With this issue
We send out the Messenger, that is our
seml-weekiy edition, again somewhat
improved, by al addition of several
co.umns of reading matter, and a
change in the general makeup of the
paper. We have also reduced the
price, hereafter, from 81 a year to SIS
to mail subscribers. We have been
induced to make these changes in the
belief that a good semi-weekly news
paper is needed in North Carolina. to
supply a summary of news and general
intelligence to the many of our GOOD
people. who feel themselves unable TO
indulge in the luxury of a daily paper,
or whose limited mail facilities make q
daily no object with them. 1t was
also our intention to further enlarge
the paper, but unavoidable circum
stances compel us to forego that pleas
IRE a short while. and a short while
only, we hope ohas6oro Messeaqer.

OF Liel.ig's theory that liquor drinking
is compatible with animal food, but

experiments he was very thin in flesh.

The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1879-05-07

our encounter with the discomforts
OF southern summer, and have come
to the unanimous conclusion, that we
can keep comparatively cool and en-.
JOY life better during the warm
months, here in our own home, at
"Oak Ridge Cottage" than at any
summer resort in the United States.
And tits a private opinion of my
own, That if the many invalids who
come to Florida in the Winter, to
spend perhaps two or three months.
would come to stay and get out in
the woods, where they could con.
stantly breathe the life giving aroma
OF the pine trees, and then each one
start, for himself or herself, an orange
grove and faithfully care for it, that
nine-tenths of them might live to see
their children's children plucklng
fruit from the trees, which
their own invalid hands have planted
and tended. For there is health to
the northern consumptive in these
pine woods, and promise of long
life, in having an object for which to
work. But my letter has grown to
an unconscionable length, and | will
close by hoping that we may all live |
to see Florida filed with inst such
beautiful homes and intelligent. cul |
tivated people, as her delightful eli |
mate and manv atti actions deserve. |
