started TO plant an orange grove of fif-
teen acres adjoining Elm Park. in our
town limits, in addition to his grove of
ten acres almost in bearing.
Mr.. c. II. Atkinson, of Boston, has
just bought ten acres also in our town
limits. which he will plant in orange
trees right off, and he will soon build.
NJ. \. Long, whose cows furnish the
quantities of delicious milk consumed
IN lnterlachen, in addition TO her ten
acres in cassava, has just planted six
acres in orange and plum trees. adioin-
ing the Francis and Long groves, and is
now clearing land for new grove of
five acres.
Mr.. George w. Hastings, of the Win
ter Resort Company, is rapidly filling
with nice people his comfortable Hotel
interlachen. MIR. Hastings, aided by
his friend, MIR. Hugo. .Friedlaender, is
planting with orange and valuable fruit
trees many acres of his lands. He is
one of our oldest settlers, and has GER
tainly done much for our town.
Among the most beautiful and most
striking of the many groves within In
terlachen, is the grove of Mr.. Edgar g.
Miller, of Baltimore, ON hill overlook
ing the town center on one side and the
Canadian settlement ON the other. Ris-
| ing high up from lake, it is lovely now
with its many dark green orange and
| peach trees in blossom.
DIR. S. w. Longmaid's grove, ON Lake
Elm, will have quite crop this coming
winter, and is admired by all who take
| that favorite drive down by George Hol-
| ford-s new improvements in forty acres,
| on the road to the Ocklawaha River.
Mr.. Holford and his Western business
friend are about to have lovely place,
| part of which will be in the town limits.
The grove of forty acres belonging to
| Mr.. John r. Hall, of Boston, at the
| eastern end of Interlachen, is one of our
best groves. Lying on two lakes and on
| both sides of the railroad track, it makes
| beautiful entrance into Interlachen.
Mr.. Rayburn's house and grove near
by, opposite Mr.. Berklemann's, are also
| great ornaments to Interlachen, and
show what great results can be gained
by hard work in Florida.
| For some reason, after the quick pur-
chases made by Robert Long, of lands on
the outskirts of Interlachen, we don't
find much land on the market now.
There are many fine towns in Florida,
but Interlachen will stand among the
first on the list for the number of rich
| Northern settlers and investors.
| We know that the man who used most
of C. a. Brush's time at the telegraph
wire last week, neatly picked up the
Maxner eighty acres, and several other
| tracts also.
MIR. c. a. Brush, the genial railroad
| agent, is also express agent and post
master, and has land in the center of the
town among the most valuable. His
store and post office are indeed orna-
ments. His quick hand at working the
telegraph wire is most grateful to those
who wish to trade quickly, and his smile
and kind heart have won for him many
| friends.
All Northern visitors should be sure to
see Mrs. ID. E. Peacock's lovely rose gar
dens at Mr.. Leavitt's beautiful;place, be-
fore they go away. VEDDER.

Several movements are on foot look ing
to the advancement of the interet Is of
