A MAGNIFICENT FRUIT NURSERY.
The writer was pleased 10 meet up with
an old friend from Liberty county Georgia
Mr.. j. Y. Russell, who has cleared and re-
claimed twelve acres of rich hummock land
inside the city limits and stocked it with the
choicest varieties of fruits, vegetables and
flowers. These, fostered by careful cult
walton and the fertile soil, have attained TO
rare perfection, and are yielding fine
profit. lie is anxious, however, TO proceed
down the coast 10 Jupiter Inlet and raise
| pineapples aud cOcoanuts below the frost line
and would sell out if an opportunity was
presented. And this is the case with nearly

Walpole said: Every man has his price -
This doubtless referred 20 his moral stamina
and convictions, and the assertion should be
| indignantly rejected. But If applied TO real
estate and the temptation to realize at a
| big profit" there Is much truth in the re
mark of tue great philosopher. But
we are off the track and must come
back 10 Daytona and her fiattel1ng pros
| poets. The town stretches out for more
| than two miles 10 Manning's saw mill, on
| the Halifax river, the banks Of which are
| fringed with hundreds of tall cabbage pal
mettOes, with a background of high and
fertile hummock, once the site of a rich
sugar plantation. 1t is undoubtedly the
prettiest site for city the writer has seen
| IN Florida.
Mr.. w. A. Jordan, one of tho largest
real estate agents here, reports numerous
transfers of property at steadily advancing
prices within the past year, and the outlook
! of this region which has invariably cap
tured the majority of the prizes offered at
| both State and national expositions for the
best oranges, is highly fattering. Time
will not admit of further mention Of the
noble orange groves, such rs those OF j. A.
Montague and J. 3. Higbee, which came
| under our observation. We can only say
in conclusion that Daytona has bright
| future in store for her. H. II. j.
