easily, in my humble opinion, by or
ganizing transportation and trading
company. Place a sea-worthy mer
chant man in II weekly line from vii
mington to Jax and up the great St.
Johns to Sanford, which would touch
the principle central business points
of peninsular Florida, and by placing
freight and passenger rates at a very
reasonable rate and buying Florida
semi tropical fruits to take back. Such
a scheme, would be so much appre-
ciated, in my jud yment, that it would
soon take tri weekly trips to supply the
owing demand, and it is only "a to
80 hours from Jax to Wilmington,
and about II to 20 from Jax to San
ford, where, as now, owing to so many
connecting freight lines, it takes ten
days to get freight through, on an
average, and freights are so high on
cheap and perishable commodities,
merchants nor people here cannot
afford to order from there.
You would be astonished to know
the demand, were it possible to OBJ
tain something in good shape. Good
