not forfeit the charter. When 1t
was known that we thought of retrac-
ing our steps tosJacksonville we were
seriously advisedagainstsu such acourse,
and told that Jacksonville was very
unhealthy, that the weather was often
cold and damp and that a person was
in great danger of becoming victim
of malaria. But we were not much
frightened and after spending few
days in visiting some orange groves,
seeing bananas, pine apples and plen-
ty of spring vegetables growing. we
took the train ON "Wednesday morning
for Sanford. AT Sanford We stepped
aboard the steamer, s.City of Jarkson-
viIie" for our sail down the beautiful
st. John'sriver. Fhe river IL narrow
at most places and the banks low SO
that we can see the towns here and
there along the banks and between
them, sometimes AN orange grove and
sometimes forest of pines and pal
nlettueS.
Thursday morning about 6 O'Clock
we arrived at jacksonville, and after
finding comfortable quarters and eat
ing our breakfast we started out for a
walk. We find some parts very pref
ty, most of the dwellings are frame
buildings prettily designed and hav-
ing yards surrounding them. We
still see pretty green grass growing in
some few yards, but most of them
have only white sand with here and
there green shrubbery and roses.
There are only few of the principal
business streets paved and in crossing
