procured from foreign countries, our
imported grasses will be utilized to
their full value and we will raise as
fine horses and cattle, as any state in
the Union, and at a less expense,
thousands Of groves will be bringing
in hundreds Of thousands Of dollars
into the State, other tropical fruits as
yet unknown will be offered for sale
In the northern markets, the ever
glades will be drained and magnifi-
cent sugar estates will be manufact-
uring sugar on large scale, our
marshes will be fields of rice, Florida
vegetables will be known every win
ter in every town of the Union. In
starch we will supply the whole
country, our tobacco will be sought
after at the highest prices.
1t is hard to tell what cannot be
grown here, experience will show
us, but everything that we can pro-
duce can be sent to good. markets,
there is no fear on that score and that
is more than half the battle. For
tunate will be the people who have
procured their land when it is cheap,
for land that is now selling at s5 per
acre viii soon be worth 500. Let
the present groves come into bearing
and thousands OF gentleman can be
seen living at ease, with large in
comes and plenty of time for improve
ments, for they are restless race, not
satisfied unless doing something, and
thousands of others will be attracted
to enter on the like industry, and
they too become independent. Then
cultivated lands near to transporta.
tion, churches, and schools, will go
up with a bound. We may not live
to see it, but some other sitting in
our chair will get the benefit of the
hard work that we have gone through.
That our prognostics will come to
pass is as sure as sure can be, read
our lecture, delivered in Jacksonville
five years ago, and see if what we
then said is not coming to pass. As
an example of the arogress that has
been made, take Tvs ridge on which
we live. Four years ago there were
only a few old settlers living on it,
now there are three thriving towns,
with handsome houses, hundreds of
acres in orange groves, three saw
mills, seven or eight stores, black
smith shops, ETC., etc. Instances of
this kind can be found all over South
Florida. We have in this weeks
