Middle and West Florida are coming
up, and we look forward to the time
when all that section will be peopled
with hard working farmers, when all
that beautiful country shall become a
garden spot for loneliness. People, who
come here, never know anything abo"t
the middle portion of the State When
we tell them Of the high hills, red clay
roads and gushing springs of water, so
cold in August as to make the teeth
ache, they seem surprised. Well, it is
all so. That portion of Florida is the
great planting section, and for towns and
villages embrace the finest school privi-
leges and are as an intelligent class of
people as you will find anywhere in the
South or North. Go ahead, old land, we
rejoice in all your hopes for good.-Pa-

mer who believe in no God and no Bible.
Tell it not to me.-zalmaae.
