Go to DeLand and Lake Helen, Flor
ida, the Most Delightful Places
in the South.
WHY GO TO DELAND AND LAKE HELEN?

We reply, because they are not only two of the
most delightful places in Florida, but are uni
verSaly conceded to be among the healthiest
places in the Union.
DeLand, in Volusia county, is located on the j.,
T. & K. W. Ry., about 100 miles south of Jackson
ville in one of the best orange growing sections
of the State It occupies the middle Of a large
plateau that is twenty miles long and five wide,
originally covered with yellow pine forest and
dotted with small, clear lakes The soil is well
suited to fruit and vegetable raising, and the or
ange plantations are peculiarly thrifty; indeed,
the town presents the appearance of great villa
situated in the midst OF luxurious orange grove.
Lake Helen is five miles from DeLand.
AS AN EDUCA TTONAL CENTRE,
DeLand offers rare inducements to parents who
desire the education of their children to be carried
forward while they are temporarily away from
their Northern homes, or who are looking for
some good institution in which to place them per-
manently until their education is completed. De-
Land has an Academy, which is in reality Col
lege for both sexes inferior to nonein ecOuntry
in character, with experienced and successful edu-
Gators at it's head.
IMPRESSIONS OF DELAND
My impressions of DeLand, viewing it from
the balcony of the Parceland Hotel, was that it
was of the prettiest cities in Florida. My con-
viction, as 1 viewed it from the balcony on the
third story OF the University building, that it
was without exception the prettiest in, Florida.
Most Florida cities convey theimpresson under
bird's-eye view that, like Topsy, "they just
growed." DeLand shows every Indication of hav-
ing been carefully planned, and developed in ac-
cOrudnce WIFI precOncelVeu uesleH' IL is d citT
of ample spaces, with park-like stretches OF the
original pine forest and a vast area OF orange
grove within the city limits. The Pareeland Hotel
has an orange grove on one side and an acre of
lofty, heaven-kissing pines on the other The Car
rollton is the Boulevard, almost in the geo.
graphical centre of the town. and the Putnam
House and the Floral Grove Hotel are in the very
midst of empowering orange trees. SO it is with
private residences Most OF them areeither in the
midst of orange groves, situated on one
side of the lot, with orange trees filling the remain
der. From any commanding point the city looks
like vast orange plantation with clustering
town in the centre, and houses dotted here and
there amid the verduous foliage.-C. H. Jones, in
letter February, 1888, in Times-Union.

LAKE HELEN.

unCOHlmOH DEduIY
eye of wealthy visitors and Immediately cottages
began to spring up on the shores OF Lake Helen.
Queen Ann cottages, designed by Mace, the Ohio
architect, and roomy veranded dwellings,. vie with
each other in beauty These are painted in deli
cate and pretty shades-grays, drabs, creams
c.,-with gables towers, balconies and other
features. in keeping with their style In fact
everything about Lake Helen is ornamental.
Even the shops and stables are pretty enough to
live in.
WHO LIVES AT LAKE HELEN.
The residents are representatives of wealth and
intelligence They nearly all Northern people,
mainly from New York, Pennsylvania and Ohio.
They include in their numbers, scientists as well
as many literary lights Many OF them are OF
worldwide reputation.
Among them is Mr. Berlin H Wright, the as
tronomer and the great maker OF astronomical
calculations for almanacs. His father, who is
with him, is q distinguished bOtanist and has the
largest private herbarium in the United States,
embracing over 1000 specimens. Prof; ,, ,. Willis
banker of Saginaw, Mich, Col. SchoOnmaker, OF
Scranton, Pa, and many Others well known all
over the country have winter cottages on this
lake, which rival in taste, beauty and costlness
those at Long Branch or Bar Harbor.
DISTANCES.
Lake Helen and the city of DeLand are con-
nected with New York and all points North by
they are but four hours ride; with Titusville with
which they hold two direct communications daily,
with all northwestern Florida by as many routes
as you please; and the southeastern coast country
is quite at their feet.

A WESTERN PENNSYL VANLA.
The Omaha Bee says editorially Of
Wyoming:
The oil fields of Wyoming have passed
the prospecting stage. The quality and
quantity of the fluid Is no longer a ques-
ton OF experiment, but a demonstrated
reality. These fields are divided into
three distinct dlvisiops-the central or
Lander district, the Stockade district on
the northern boundary Of the territory,
extending toward the Black Hills, and the
Big Horn district. The first two districts
have been thoroughly explored, and their
value as oil producers settled beyond dis
pute, while the Big Horn district is in the
development stage.
These oil basins are continuous and
well defined. Flowing wells are the rule
rather than the exception, and scarcely a
drill has been sunk that did not penetrate
a vast internal sea of oil and gas. The
importance Of this vast oil bearing region
to the commerce OF this country can not
readily be estimated. For thirty years

tUry Reviet0. He proposes to get the
truthful ideas upon the subject of the peo-
pie of Wyoming. the only place in the
world where woman's suffrage has had a
full and tree trial for any considerable
length Of time. The following questions
will be sent to people throughout the ter
ritory. To the answers names should be
signed. not for publication, but as n guar
antee Of good faith. To the readers of
THE LEADER Mr.. Plunkett extends an
invitation to send him answers whether
they receive circulars or not. Replies
should be mailed to Horace Piunkett,
Cheyenne, Wyoming. This is an excel
lent opportunity to say truthfully what is
thought OF woman suffrage and it will be
used in a way that will help mould pub
lie opinion in the outside world upon this
important question.
MIR. Plunkett's circular is as follows: .
Il have been requested by persons ac-
lively engaged in the discussion of the
woman's suffrage question in Great Brit
ain. TO obtain trustworthy information as
to its practical working in Wyoming.
You will doubtless recognize the impor.

closed form you would contribute to this

Lincoln City, Delaware
Convenient Freight Route.

Under the new arrangement of run
ming, the steamer Citizens, OF the
Lebanon and Philadelphia line, is
offering excellent facilities for the
shipment of berries and vegetables to
Philadelphia markets. The arriving
time Of the boat is such that goods
sent by that line will be in time for
the earliest morning market, and the
transportation by boat is not so dam
aging to fruits as the jar and dust of
the train. The passenger accommO-
dations are first-class, and during the
summer there can be no pleasanter
trip than run up or down the bay
on this steamer. The scenery along
the bayshore is very plainly visible
on the route, and the absence of heat
and dust will make the route popular
to pleasure seekers. See timetable on
first page.

Z Farmers, INSTITUTES

The attention of Kent county farmers is
respectfully invited to the following state.
ment
l. The Legislature at its late session, pro
vided for the organization of Farmers Insti-
tutes in each county, and appropriated s2oo
year to each for the purpose Of defrayiug
the incidental expenses thereof
2. The purposes Of these institutes, as sci
forth in the act, are "the discussion, orally
and by written essays or papers, of agricul'
tural and kindred matters, and the dissent
nation of agricultural knowledge among the
farmers of this State"
3. The officers of the Institute are presi-
dent vice president, secretary, treasurer and
executive committee of not less than FIVE MOI
more than nine. None of the officers can
receive any salary. Other and additional
officers may be provided for by the bylaws.
a. The Institute for Kent county was or
gained Saturday, May IS, 1889, by the cleo
ton of the following officers for the ensuing
year President, J. Alexander Fulton; vice
president, Geo A. Millington; secretary,
Daniel II. Ridgely; treasurer, Henry Ridgelyi
executive committee, William R. Allaband
J. S. Willis, Minos Conway, William R.
Dickson, Walter Hawkins.
A committee was also appointed to prepare
and report a constitution and bylaws for
the government of the institute. There are
yet four vacancies to fill in the executive
committee. These vacancies are expected
to be filled at the next meeting, and fiom the
hundreds not yet represented upon that conf
mittee.
5. The next meeting will be held in the
Court House Hall, Dover, July %, 1880, at
? O'Clock, afternoon; and it is earnestly
hoped there will be full attendance ofrep-
.resentative farmers from every hundred in
the county. These institutes are specially
designed to benefit farmers, and are under
their own exclusive control, so that if they
are not properly conducted 1t will be their
own fault. There is no fee for membership,
and all incidental expenses are paid by the
State. In this the farmers have been treated
generously; and they owe it to themselves,
and to the State at large, to make these in
stitutes both interesting and profitable.
Here they can meet on common ground COM
pare notes, discuss methods, give and re-
ceiye suggestions; aud, in short, consider
every question that relates to their business.
The next meeting will be held very shortly
before peach shipping begins; and will be
especially important on that account. Sew
eral other matters of interest will also be
discussed at this meeting, and our farmers
should consider it both privilege and pleas
ure to attend.
