tiers at their actual value.
These reserved lands lie along the eastern or
Atlantic Coast, between st, Augustine and Bis
cayno Bay, one-half mile to six miles from the
ocean, arge portion being fa below the
frost limits
This is the only eastern section In Che United
States where 1t Is possible toa raise semi-tropi-
cal fruit, and where early vegetables and fruits
can be raised in time to catch the highest
Northern prices.
Much OF this land ia owned by the Florida

pany, and bears fine growth OF timber,
from which large sums may be realized The
section along the Indian River and Lake Worth
is well settled, and the land IL the most yalua-
BILE in the State, the cast coast being tapped by
four railways, and the rivers along the COas
being navigated by steamboats,.
Improved transportation facilities and de-
lightful climate (being 80 near the ocean the
air is much more braCing than further inland)
make this an excellent opportunity for actual
settlers
Prices OF land range from S2per acre upward.

The men of worth to a town or community
are those who forget their own selfish ends
long enough, and who are liberal enough in
their idsas to push all projects calculated to
build UP the town and enhance its impor-
tance. The enterprise and push of a commu-
nifty constitutes the foundation of it's perma-
nent success. A town may as well prepare
for its own funeral as to become Indifferent to
the enterprise in its midst. Men who come
to town to make it their future home, who
cannot look far enough before them to see
that money placed judiciously in a public
enterprise will be increased an hundred fold
in the appreciation of their property, are to
be pitied. They are the class who are ready
to take all they can of ones building enter
prise, but are unwilling to do anything them

Pointe Coupee Democrat: II the Lottery
Company is the demoralizing Institution and
90 dangerous to the State as it is represented
is it not strange that many of the Ants have
been personally benefited by it's money!
How many of these sanity Senators and Rep.
politically How was the large amount OF
money given to the Nichols campaign com.
mittee used2 This is q pertinent question,
and may we'll be asked. Again, go to the city
of New Orleans, and ask if the Lottery
g%ratuities are of a political nature. Ask if it's
friends wait for elections to make requests.
The answer is No. There is a large stone
building that will survive for centuries; it is a
library for the people, the masses, the multi
tude-for the rich and the poor. 1t is to dis
seminate knowledge among men; it is TO en-
tighten men forever.
Enlighten the voter, and he will discharge
his duty at the ballot-box intelligently.
Make every voter familiar with books, and
you cannot deceive him. Increase the libra
ries, let the voters draw knowledge from
them, and our free institutions will be per-
petuated.
Look abroad, among all those sanity Ants;
call the roll, and see if one of them has
founded a library or an institution of any
kind, calculated to enlighten the voters who
are to decide this Lottery question. None of
them have used their money for any such pa
triotie purpose. But they have given money
to establish newspapers to bolster up their
own political fortunes and to prevent the peo-
pie from being benefited by having all their
material interests provided for, aud at the
same time taxation reduced.
1t is patent that this Lottery warfare is
carried on simply for personal and political
reasons. Vindietive warfare is the watch
word, and the saints must be saved, even at
the destruction and neglect of every great
State interest. Rule or ruin is the determin-
alton of the Ants; they must he kept in
power if the ship sinks.

The following, clipped from the Burlington

no little value to persons troubled with
Indigestion
For years the Editor of the Post has been
subject to cramp collie or fits of Indigestion,
that protracted him for several hours and I'M
fitted him for business for two or three days
afterward. About a year ago we called on S.
j. Butcher, druggist, and asked for something
to ward off an attack that was already max
ing life hideous. Mr.. Butcher handed us a
bottle of Chamberlain Collie, Cholera and
Diarrhoea Remedy. We took the medicine
according to directions, and not only found re-
lief on that occasion, but have several times
since tried it's virtues and found relief in every
instance. We take this method of acknowledge
ing the benefits derived and recommending
the cure to all others subject TO indigestion.
