enterprise. But that is not all. H. A.
DeLand has made thousand dollars for
other people, where he has made one
for himself. He has brought the entire
State, and especially Volusia and all the
adjoining counties, favorably before the
reading public of this country and Eu-
rope. He Infused new life into the ma
tives of the State, while he has brought
them customers from all the States.
This writer has abundant proof that Mr..
DeLand, from the beginning of his Florida
ventures, was influenced by the most
philanthropic motives. To add to his
own personal wealth was a secondary
and altogether subordinate motive with
him. He had no sufficient incentive to
endure all the sacrifices through which
he has passed in performing this grand
service for humanity, except the desire
to serve his day and generation.
Seldom has it fallen to the lot of man
to see such far-reaching plans accom-
plished in such a short time. If Mr..
DeLand were now to return to his
pleasant home and his great manufac-
turing interests in Fairport, n. Y, and
never give another thought to Florida,
his work there would abide and increase.
But he does not propose to retire. The
great success he has achieved only shar-
pens his appetite for something better.
Hence. he has recently established an in
stitution of learning in DeLand, and
placed at the head of it Rev. j. H. Grif-
fifth, D. D., popular and gifted Baptist
minister. He is at work on two rail
roads, by means of which he hopes to
bring DeLand and the surrounding coun-
try into much closer relations with the
outside world. By this means the early
vegetables of that region will find their
way with little delay to the great cites of
the North. This is now becoming great
business in that portion of Florida. To-
matoes, peas, cabbages, egg-plants,
beans and strawberries can be put into
Northern markets a month or two earlier
than has been possible heretofore.
But why write more on this subject?
Thousands who have never seen Florida
will see it as they go to or return iron
the New Orleans Exposition. Cheap ex
cursion tickets will be the order of tn
day. Let all who go visit DeLand ant
the region round about. Encouraged by
his wonderful success in building the
city which bears his name, Mr.. DeLand
is building another town, five miles off,
known as Lake Helen. Around this,
one of the most beautiful lakes in Flori-
da, named after his daughter, is growing
up town which may become as famous
as is the town of DeLand. The two will
be connected by railroad. to be com
pleted in a few months.-Relige0us Her.

rida Agriculturist:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
Once again am in fair South Florida.
The warm breeze is altogether different
from the damp, cold air of Georgia. For
| have been visiting there since last fall.
The tall pines are swaying gently, and
tiny rain-drops sparkle like as many dia-
monds, on their long, slender, glossy
leaves. The sun is trying to burst
through the cloudy prison, as if impa-
tient to smile on us. after hiding his face
from us about week. All is quiet, Sc
rene and beautiful. The sloping hills
are green and brown, and ever-and-anon
the verdant leaves of our golden fruit
gladden. the eye. The woodman's ak
has evidently not been idle or laid away
to rust, for great changes transpired dur
ing my absence. Several more streets
have been laid out and cleared, houses
built, and groves planted, until / am al
most stranger in this village of my
adoption. Many strange faces also no
tice, some who are only visiting our
southern cline; others ready to begin
work. and battle with the gigantic pines,
and all disagreeables connected with a
pioneers life. Hope smiles brightly on
their efforts, and fancy pictures time,
not far distant, when the pine forests
give place to the orange; pine cones to
the delicious pine apples; and evergreen
lawns and odorous flowers enliven and
beautify our rural homes.
Even as far south as Jacksonville. one
can hardly imagine how delightful our
climate is down here. 1 left that CITY
shivering with cold, and the air from the
river was damp and altogether unpleas-
ant. Arriving here how enchanting to
remove the heavy wraps and enjoy the
warm sunshine and fresh air, to pick the
juicy oranges myself from the heavy
hanging branches of my fathers grove.
True, we miss some of the dainty luxu-
ries of city, but health surpasses them
all, and many a suffering soul, pining
for the joys of health, seek our genial
cline and sunny sky, and their hearts
are gladdened at the first spark of re-
turning health and renewed strength.
There is but one Florida, and what a
gloomy place this world would be. If
there was no Florida. Many of us can
thankfully say it is one of Gods choicest
blessings to man. LULA X. MATLAcK.

comes of envy and averice does not come
to them, for they are neither envious or
avaricious. If a doubling Thomas chides
them for putting prices so high, they
simply pity him and feel assured of
fifty per cent. advance within twelve
months. They know that the cultivation
of their acres and planting them to or
ange trees will double their value, ex-
penses included, because they realize
more or less clearly that the real situa-
tion is just about as we have stated in
this brief article.-Orlando Reporter.

Tuesday, November 3rd, is the day
fixed for the general election. Only Y
little more than two weeks off, anu
now, Democrats Of Jackson county,
we nut the very pertinent question,
are YOU ready? COncccding that we
have nominated good and strong
ticket; that the rank aud file Of the
county Democracy is unbrokcn, and
that no opposition has appeared IN the
field, we still ask, are we ready Tor
the election? Pompcy the great once
thought hc was ready for fight when
he marched out of the gates of Rome
with host of her boastcd soldicrly, ,
until Caesar, with his little handful OF
veterans, crossed the Rubicon anu
routed his multitude. This was rc.
pcated nj tho battle of Manassas, anu

that the most sangIinc are the most
dcfcnsclcss. What we want Is the
assurance of n full vote ana wide
awake workers prepared for cmcrgen-
cv. True, we may sec in the opposi-
ton but the single arm OF RodericR
Dhu, but who can estimate the
strength of his cohorts in ambush!
We, therefore. urge upon Democrats
the necessity of coming TO the polls on
Tuesday, the third Of November, and
voting. II victory is to be ours, let

expected gust that may sweep 1t be-
