'SAN PAULO COLONY" FLORIDA.
A Minnesota Enterprise in the Land of
Orange Groves.

we Will commence IN a Gay or Two iron
now the publication of the "ArtIcles of In
corporation" of the above colony, to b
continued throughout seven numbers O
this paper. 1T is Minnesota Enterprise
formed for the purpose of establishing
permanent settlement and home for Min
nesotians and others in that state of tn,
semi-tropics, the land of oranges and sucl
like.
1t is not expected to dsplete to any con
siderable extent the population of thi
region, but rather to act as it were as al
auxiliary, sort of helpmeet to this state
and region generally, uniting thus the froz
en- North and the sunny South in still more
indissoluble bonds. Whilst conceding, al
a matter of course, that Minnesota ano
this region generally of the northwest, ii
blest with the very best of climates and
almost unequaled fertility of soil, etc, al
pretty much that goes to make up great
and prosperous and growing state, it is YET
| equally true that everywhere, even in this
highly favored region, there are persons OF
| a migratory nature or disposition who
| sometimes seek or prefer change to some
other cline.
To all seeking good healthy climate
one of the very best to be found anywhere
| good prairie or hard wood lands-solid
we'll trodden roads in winter, beautiful
| hauling, sleighing, skating and snow and
the best OF ice, etc, instead of mud
| slush and bad roads, as IN other states
| below Us, in winter, Minnesota offers per-
haps almost unrivalled advantages.
But to those preferring OR in search of
a less invigorating atmosphere and milder
winters than up in this higher northern lati-
tude, we propose to offer now home near
er to the tropics, where crop of some
kind or other, it is claimed, can be raised
every month throughout the entire year,
where snow and even ice are almost en-
tirely unknown, rarely seen or known at
all at least, and never then lasting any
time.
It may be stated that the general man
ager of this company, Mr.. Lucian +. De-
Long, man of extensive travel and &C
quaintance (having gone over pretty much
the entire world along with his brother,
Mr.. George E. belong, general agent here
at st. Paul. and who has been already in
Florida before, is now in Florida in per-
son, along with we'll known and old set
tier and citizen of Minnesota aud Wiscon-
sin also, for the purpose of purchasing
from 5000 to 10000 acres of land for this
company, having been already in CORES
pondence for some months past with
the state agents and rail
roads and numerous private
parties there and thus prepared to act at
once in reference to the object of his pro-
posed visit. He will also remain parma
nently in Florida along with one of tho
vice presidents of this company and
others on the spot, thus to assist in every
proper way any settler or others.
The site of the town and colony will be
selected with reference to its soil and
healthfulness of situation, first of all and
then with reference to its proximity and
accessibility to railroad, river or stream,
lake, etc, so as to invite not simply the
permanent settler but the tourist likewise.
ed IN the course of week or
given thereof and all those
wishing to enjoy the benefits of this en-
terprise to participate or share in its
profits, etc, will soon thus be afforded az
opportunity of subscribing for shares OF

prise Will show their confidence in it by

shall be opened, to fully 100 shares or
more.
Fuller information may be obtained any
time of Mr.. George E. Delong, general
agent, No. 6, Presley block, Third street,
s.. Paul, not far above Robert street,
south side.
Persons wishing to start market farms,
truck patches and the like,
for the purpose Of ship
ment Of early fruits and
vegetables to the New Orleans and nor
thern markets, should apply at once, as
now is the season to plant and raise for
the early spring. Ia fra, Is aud vegetables
particularly may it be more truly said,
"the early bird catches the worm" Orange
trees, etc, should be planted at once, also
with view to the near future. Re
member the great inducements held out TO
the first thirty actual settlers,in particular
lot in the town, and twenty acre farm, in
addition, besides the stock being entitled
to the regular dividend also. It IS in
tended 10 make this enterprise a
perfectly fair, honest, bona fide
one in every particular. The treasurer
of this corporation is not only himself
perfectly reliable every way, bus viii give
ample and safe bonds also, SO that the
public shall be fully guarded and protect
ed III every possible way
Who now then will be among the first to
embark IN this good enterprise so full of
hope and brightest promise? Re-
member that whilst this is called a Mime
sofa enterprise, it is yet free for all from all
parts of this northwest to enjoy. Settlers
aud tourists likewise will be most cordial
ly received, gladly welcomed from every
state, region and clime-north, south, east
and west-free as ths air we
breathe, open alike to all.
Remember also that the lands of this
company are not being taken by any
mere chance, hsphazzard or accident Whist
sosver in the least, but are being selected
carefully now BE- trusted and accredited
agents of the company on the spot. First
come, first served" the old rule generally.
1t may be added also that in fact the
general location of the colony etc, are al
ready known to, and determined upon by
the company, a secret with them for the
present, however, but TO be unfolded to
the public very soon now by means of cir
culsrs, pamphlets, hand bills and general
advertising.
