About one year ago the FLoRIDIAN said the
Hotel Company would make q mistake if they
did not enlarge the Leon last summer, and the
tide of travel 10 Tallahassee this season has de-
monstrated the truth of our prophecy.
Ayers Sarsaparilla was the first successful
blood medicine ever offered to the public. This

purchased Col. Haldemsn's place. Mr. Prescott
and his wife left for the east on Monday. They

seemed like leaving home. They are in love
with their new home and the Tallahassee Coun.
try, and will return to their charming Southern
home early next season, bring son and his fam
lily and single son. Mr.. Prescott will induce
many of his friends to visit Tallahassee next
winter.
-Tallahasseeans are paying year after year
very high rates for insurance, and . century
hence, without . water supply, they would be
paying the same or higher rates. Establish water
works, your insurance rate will be decreased
more than your taxes would be for water sup
ply, and this tax you would have to pay only
few years. Then you would pay only . small
rate for insurance would have an adequate
supply of water-a great attraction to your city,
Tallahassee would be booming right ahead. a.
the Capital City ought 70 do.
