Indian River and Lake Worth in Sum-
maf


A partly OF ten stated from Daytona
on the 7th of July for Lake Worth with
many apprehensions of bad winds and
rainy weather, but were agreeably disap-
pointed. Leaving four of the party on
Merritt's Island on the I'd day, we ar
rived at Lake Worth $50 miles from
Daytona) in less than three days from
time of starting.
OF course mosquitoes were plenty af-
ter the daily rains OF the past month,
but helped keep the party lively. We
left Indian River at the Inlet and went
by way of the ocean to Lake Worth
where we laid outside till morning. We
saw many tropical fruits i'll bearing,
among others cocoanuts and coffee. Mr..
Chas. Moore had 500 cocoanus planted,
and we were informed that from fifty to
sixty thousand were planted on the
lake and Jupiter Island. We also learn
ed that some parties from Daytona had
bought on the latter island and vicinity

better than any other variety, and pays
a good profit on cultivation
We saw Poincianas and many other

regular even than our much loved home
