DINSMORE!

One of the growing towns of the
South, is situated on both sides of
Savan ah, Florida & Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is high, dry
and level, and a successful hOrti-
cultural and truek-growing section
of the State. Dinsmore can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour and half drive over an excel
lent plank and shell road.
DinsmOre is not one of the isOla-
ted spots that is only laid out on
paper, but a thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and ,laborer, to fathers
and wives who are vigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
of their children, to those who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation.
TheSland can be obtained at re-
markably low figures and on terms
suitable to the condition of every
purchaser. At the present loW
figures poor man can make reguS
lar payments on valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense or money act
ually thrown away. II is an in
vestment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
many. times the amount invested.
The. prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, S65, $50, $35. Sec
ond choice, S25 $18. Third choice
SIS. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, SIS. 1t must be remember
ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adjacent to
DiuSmore, containing from FIVE to
sixteen acres each, which we offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at S5 acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years. -..
The chain of title will be short
and strong. 1t is from the State OF
Florida to the Railroad and from
thFRailroad to you.
Truck farming around DinsmOre
would be at the door of two of the
greatest markets in the South. Let
everye poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy a lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think of it. There are
eight passenger trains pc day and
the round trip will only cost twen-
ty-fve cents. Tr0uJ creek, large
stream passes right through the
vicinity, thus affording pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance of fish.
=, TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
. slip you. b 1t is the very best chance
you will have to secure a good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in Dinsmore are
enjoying good trade and the
town y is rapidly. growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, and laborers Who
desire work can get from a dollar
and. a half to two dollars per day

Ii be what it ought to be when we get it, oc-
cupy whole building by itself. 1t is evident
that the purchase and remodeling Of an old or
the construction of a new ediice will have to
be authorized by the present Congress. The
sooner the better. The necessity is urgent. It
ought also to be plain that the local post Office,
lift must have joint occupancy Of building
with another government Office or Offices,
should not be huddled into narrow quarters
and made subordinate in its general arrange
ments or equipments to any other Office OF the
government-even to the great Department it,
self of which it is part. Let it be remembered
in this connection that the Washington post
Office receives the quarterly returns from all the
other post Offices throughout the United States,
that through it passes every day vast tonnage
Of government mail matter of all kinds, and
that in no sense can this great post Office be re-
garded merely as a local office of local belong
ings and surroundings. II, however, it were
merely local, and situated in any other city Of

able quarters and provided with suitable equip

The British have learned from the Russians
the art of getting on with barbarous or semi
barbarous people whom they want to absorb
ultimately. The Germans, flushed with mill
tary prestige in Europe, appear to need lesson
or two in this respect. The juxtaposition of
interests and ambitious aims Of the two peoples
in equatorial Africa is likely to produce friction
in the near future. The British start with ma
tive sympathy on their side.
