SAN PAUL0 COLONY" FLORIDA.
A Minnesota Enterprise in the Land of
Cotton and Oranges.

we commence tU-ddy eAo puoliC3elOn o
the Articles of Incorporation OF the abov,
COLONY, to be continued through seven mum
bers of this paper, and invite special at
tention to same. The general purposes
and objects thereof were very fully Sc
forth in an article under the above caption
in our issue of the morning o. the 20ti
inst. Persons desiring fuller information
are referred TO that and also 10 tbs
general Office of the comp any No. Pres
ley block, Third street, St Paul, and to Mr.
George E. belong there, general agent
of the company up here, as is his brother
Mr.. Lucien P. Delong, general manager at
San Paulo, Florida.
It will be seen that most liberal induce
ments are held out by their charter to
actual settlers in particular, "a farm OF
twenty acres" and slot in the town" about
being laid out at once, rebate also on the
price of the. stock as we'll rs the dividends
from the shares OF stock regularly, as all
other shares of stockholders, to the first
thirty actual settlers-6ona tfde settlers,
who make their home there.
A full block in the town will be reserved
for church, school and hotel purposes for
each, and most liberal inducements will be
held out to persons DESTROYS of being the
first to start, for instance, q store or other
good improvements, of whatsoever kind.
1t is the intention Of the company to
build as soop as practicable saw mill for
the purpose { furnishing lumber at once
for the settle. -ent. At the same time any
70 ~ 4 10,
shareholders, would be gladly heard from
at once, or soon, on that point generally
by the company.
The company further intend reserving
special body of land themselves, with a
view to putting the same under cultivation
at as early a date as practicable, not on
ly thus to encourage and aid the settlers in
a general way as far as possible, but as q
fund likewise, in part towards meeting
the dividends on the stock regularly as
they accrue, planting out very soon rows
of orange trees set in large numbers, and
also strawberry vines and early fruits and
vegetables generally for the New Orleans
and upper markets, not overlooking wat
ermelons and the like in their season.
All share or stockholders will be en-
titled equally with all others, as matter
held by each, to share in all profits deriv
ed in every way, from whatsoever source,
whether from the sales of shares of stock,
or from shy Improvements at any time be-
longing or appertaining to said company,
as well SIS to all the net profits derived in
any way at any time from the sale of lands
held by said company, to amount of from
5000 to 10000 acres, perhaps, as we'll as to
f- Of LOTT inf ho to-
1t will thus be readily seen that every
shareholder will not only be upon an en-
tirely equal footing with every other
brother shareholder, to the extent of the
number of shares of stock owned by each,
but that thus every shareholder will be-
equally interested with every other one in
making this enterprise an entire success
every way. Success to one, means equally
success to all. It will be, therefore, not
only the duty, perhaps, but still more the
interest of every stakeholder alike in
every honorable way within his power to
encourage and promote this enterprise-to
stand or fall together.
All expenditures upon the part of the
company will be made upon the most
economical scale possible, consistent with
q proper degree or measure of progress
and early development of the colony, and
all contracts of whatsoever nature or de-
scription entered into by them at any
time, made in the most guarded manner
only possible in every way, rs it is the III
tention to make this not only a success
soon, but fair, honest, honorable enter
prise In every respect.
