That is the name of station on the
Florida Southern, about thirty-five miles
north of Trabue. The tourist in passing
might perhaps notice the pretty shells in
the window at the station, and the thrifty
looking geraniums, air plants, also other
Towering plants around the window.
Then on looking at the few small stores
and shops. and back among the pines
might wonder where the people lived, to
make the business for even those. But
the fact is that country was settled be-
fore the railroad was built, and had
small farms on which the owners raised
enough for their wants. They could get
good crops of corn. sugar cane, potatoes,
oats, etc., with no extra fertilizer. They
had small orange groves, but never be-
fore had market for their oranges.
OF the 1886 crop, they sent out fifty
seven car loads. The 1887 crop was
getting fair prices as the orange packer
there knows how and where to send, but
the amount is not yet known.
The district school numbers 100 pupils,
under three teachers. There is a good
sized building which accommodates fifty
Of the pupils, and is also used for a
church, with an earnest, intelligent pas
tor. The Sabbath school numbers sew
enty scholars, and there is good con-
gregatIon.
While it may not be always below the
frost line, it certainly has been this
year. as bananas, castor bean trees,
and young beans are not in the least
harmed so'far. Vegetables will do well
and the fruit is of fine flavor. The soil
comes easily into cultivation. One
woman has a fine flower garden in front
of her cottage on land plowed for the
first time less than a year ago. She
took up the land of the Government two
years ago, has an orange grove, a veg
etable garden, a pretty five room cottage,

Stock does well and cows are known to

The hotel Punta Gorda at the terminus
of the railroad is all the advertisement
claims, which cannot always be said.

The Cha rlotte Harbor Bay, spreads out
just wide enough, that one can see the
other shore, and enjoy sail to it, or
trip in the little steamer. The park in
front of the hotel is covered with green
grass, set out with palmettoes and Co
palms, and bordered with walks
of lovely shells. The cars run out on
the pier. to meet the steamers which

trees. one log hut and right of way for
the railroad; knows Florida from Talla-
hassee to Punta Gorda, better than any
other man we know. On horseback he
has ridden over the entire State, where
it is possible for a man to go; at the
same time he has a thorough knowledge
of the growth of all Florida's resources
and of the development of her towns
and cities
L. S. Hall, the marshal, is an active,
able man and does large mill business
with his steam mill in the center or the
town.
ID, f. Peacock, the clerk, is builder
of large experience, having built most of
the best buildings in town.
Lott Allen, settler there before the
railroad was built, a large land owner in
that vicinity, has been justice for long
time and is popular among all for his
good Judgment and wise decisions.
E. $. Brown, wealthy retired mer-
chant from Maine, has one of the
prettiest homes and groves in Florida
and is one of Interlachen's hes. citizens.
Charles Francis, Jr., of Francis &

ANOTHER ROAD TO JACKSONVILLE.

The st. Johns River Railroad Company
will begin to-day, we understand, Sc
curing the right of way for that portion
of the line out of East Palatka. This
road, which will run through some of
the finest orange groves and gardens in
the State, between here and South Jack
sonville, has been often alluded to in
these columns as one of the coming en-
terprises There is plenty of capital back
of the enterprise, we are assured, and
the work upon it will begin az once and
be carried to completion within this
year. 1t will serve as another feeder to
the Macon road when that line is brought
into Palatka, and makes more certain
than ever the early construction of the
bridge over the st. Johns at this point.
The bridge is necessity to Palatka.
DIR. G. @. Collins of Jacksonville has
been elected President, Lucius Clark,
President of the Toledo and South Haven
Railroad, Vice President, and ex-Sena-
tor Alexander Mcdonald of New York,
Secretary and Treasurer. The Northern
syndicate which is to build the road is
waiting for the right of way to be Sc
cured when it viii begin construction at
once.
With two more roads terminating
here, one of them a new trunk line
reaching out to the great systems of
roads North and Northwest of Florida,
the prospects of Palatka as city of
mercantile promise are bright. New
settlements will rise along the lines of
the new roads and these, with the older
towns they will reach will contribute to
the trade of this city if our merchants
have the goods they want. Capital
must flow into Palatka with these added
facilities and the next few years will
witness the establishment of many a
factory and wholesale business house
within our limits.

A LITTLE MISUNDERSTANDING.
Nov q Leap Year Party Bankrupted an EdIto
and Ran Citizen Out of Town.

Il anu NJ" q Stb1ch Out " foNh
Smithville, Ga, News
| When we heard that the young iadie.
were getting up a Leap Year party, we
had no idea that 1t was going to upset
us in the way it did. But of course we
| couldn't see the future then as we see il
1 now.
Well. they came to us and asked us 70
| write the copy for the invitations, which
were to be printed by Mr.. johnson.
This we did, and with a beautiful -four
| ish for the printer at the end.
Then Mr.. johnson printed the invita-
tons according to his own style and left
off the flourish.
The next day the ladies called on us
and said we had ruined the whole Job in
| not putting in the names of the commit
tee.
We explained that they had net said
anything about the committee when
they asked us to do the writing.
They said that made no difference;
that we ought to have known there was a
committee and written the names down.
We replied to explain that as Mr..
johnson had undertaken the work he
alone would be responsible for it.
Then they went to MIR. johnson, who
referred them back to us, intimating
that we ought to be made to do the
"
Gated in it.
The committee then returned and
charged us with having given the wrong
directions to Mr.. johnson, saying that
all the fault was ours, and that, to make
amends, we ought to do the work for
nothing, and do it right.
We told them we were about three
days behind with the paper and that we
could not spare the time.
They then said that the manor cnnt6
wait until next week; but that the Job
must be done, and that it wouldn't be
good for US if we neglected to attend to
it.
Then, leaving a basketful of copy in
our hands, they went away to look up
Mr.. johnson, who was then hiding in
a barrel in the rear of his store.
We heard nothing more from them
that day, but later on we received the
following note from my Johnson:
DEAR SIR-You must know that all
job work Is spot cash with me; so please
hand bearer 81. 80, the amount of your
bill for printing one hundred leap year
invitations
This was great surprise to us, and
we started on a hunt for Mr.. johnson,
determined to give him piece of our
mind; but he, hearing the committee
were after him again, had crawled out
of the barrel and boarded the first tram
for Leesburg, where if we live till night
and can dodge the committee, we shall
surely follow him.
