Facts About Florida"

This is the title of pamphlet which
supplies want, inasmuch as it is chiefly
devoted to that section OF Florida about
which less has been printed than any
other. The wide region of West Florida,
extending nearly two hundred miles from
the Apalachicola to the Perdido, was
comparatively little known to the outside
world except at its eastern and western
extremities until three years ago, when
the construction of the Pensacola and
Atlantic Railroad opened up the inter
mediate country, and it is this which is
mainly treated in the book before US.
There was a considerable and generally
thrifty population, but their settlements
were widely separated and near the wa
ter routes; and for the greater portion
of its route the railroad ran through
virgin wilderness where now are frequent
and growing villages. With the road
the spirit of progress entered a region
which will eventually furnish healthful
homes and ample support to large pop
ulation. An article of length on the " Gil
mate, Soil and Capabilities Agriculturally
Considered, of Western Florida, !" prepared
by Judge J. G. Knapp, U. s. Statistical
Agent, shows that large portion of it's
lands are adapted for varied and paying
plant growths, while all conditions of
salubrity exist being scientifically de
monstrabie as we'll as proved by expert
ence.
A peculiarly interesting portion of the
pamphlet is that which gives extracts
from history of Florida, published in
1853, descriptive of the coast and coun-
try about Pensacola, and including fac
smiles of engravings, one of which rep,
resents that ancient city as it was in
l743. The pamphlet contains many
finely engraved illustrations, showing
scenery, ETC., from Mariana to Pensa-
cola Bay, including bird's-eye views of
Pensacola and Pensacola Navy Yard.
A copy may be obtained by sending a
two cent stamp to Capt w. D. Chipley,
Pensacola.

We believe that the citizens Of ITALIA
hassee are almost if not quite unanimous
in their desire for . railroad northward.
AS it is iudisputable that such road
would be advantageous, che harmony of
feeling upon the subject is as natural as
it Is proper. People organize themselves
into municipal corporation with the de-
sign Of combined effort for their own ad-
vantage, to act together for common
purpose, to promote their own prosperity
and progress; they become one as TO
their primary object of advantage, and
should be one in action upon any measure
obviously for the benefit of their corpo-
rate community. Such measure unques-
tionably is the construction of railroad,
and there is no doubt but that her citi-
zens generally desire their city Of ITALIA
hassee to take hold of the work, and
would be glad to have the council or
der an election that they may vote such
amount as the corporation is legally JUST
fed in expanding in a public improve
ment. There may be voters opposed to
such action, but we have not heard them
say 20, while the favorable expression is
so general that we believe the great ma
jority of citizens have already made up
their minds and are impatient for the city
fathers to give them an opportunity of
voting on the question. If action is
to be taken, and public opinion un-
doubtedly demands it of the author
tiles, it would seem that the
earlier the better. Each day of delay IS
day added to the period of stagnation
out of which citizens want to bring their
city. The sooner the election is ordered
the sooner will money expended by the
city for the work be received by citizens
-workmen, merchants and others.
Prompt action should be taken lest the
warm interest in the enterprise expressed
in Savannah and Townsville grows cold
from lack of material response from US
who are most interested, and should
show ourselves willing to help ourselves
if expecting aid from others. Many Wis
itors will be here this season, and among
them, doubtless, numbers looking for To-
cations or mere investments-and argu-
ment is not needed to show that they will
be more likely to locate or invest if they
see the construction of a road in pro-
gress, or that it is about to be begun; they
might be expected to purchase largely
and to subscribe to the road which would
add to the value of the lands purchased.
Indeed, it seems quite impossible to
imagine reason why action should be
delayed if action is to be taken at all
and if not why not, gentlemen Of the
council? The people recognize your
business capacity, your integrity and your
earnest purpose to serve their interests to
the best of your ability, and therefore
expect that you will give them chance
to vote for railroad from Tallahassee
