cultural and truck-growlng section
of the State. Diusmore can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour aud a half drive over an excel
lent plank and shell road.
Dlnsmore is not one of the iSola-
ted spots that is only laid out ON
paper, but thriving prosperous
towu 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.
The land 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 regu-
lar payments Oh 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
maUy times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, s65, $50, S35. Sec
ond choice, S25 SIS. Third choice

ed that these are acre lots.
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adj ,cent to
Dinsmore, containing from five to
sixteen acres each, which we offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at SIS 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
the Railroad to you.
Struck farming around DlnSmore
would b. at tue door of two IF the
greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man if with but one
dollar, commence to buy lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson.
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think of it. There are
eight passenger trains per day anh
the round trip will only cost TWEEN
ty-five cents. Trout creek, a 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. IL is the very best chance
you will have TO secure good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in DinSmore are
enjoying good trade and the
town is rapidly growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, and laborers who
desire work can get from a dollar
and half to two dollars per day.
