TIDD's NECK, October. 1892.
Tidd's Neck has one of the most arabic
climates of which we know. II resembles
that of Genoa, yet without the crowded
and unhealthful apartments given to the
poor of Genoa for occupation. The climate
OF Tidd's Neck is extremely luscious and
bracing There are no extremes of heat
and cold, and yet there is enough variety
in the course of the year to make the sale
of clothing a good, active business.
What could be more delightful than this
q health giving and beautiful climate,
yet one which will give good returns to
the overshoe and linen coat dealer!
Tidd's Neck has been truthfully called
the Gem City of the Everglades. In ls47,
Peter Stuyvesant Overholt. of Musser's
Hook, while looking for the best possible
location to which he could come while re-
covering from d felon lost his bearings
while under the influence of liquor and
discovered what is now called Tidd's Neck.
Finding that here he could be alone with
his felon for several days. he remained free
TO make such remarks as go with felcn
generally, and sustained himself by means
of roots, herbs and spirits, thus purifying
his blood and giving himself sharp, raven
Gus appetite.
Remembering this place in 1850, at which
time he received a small pension Rs a
soldier in one of the Indian wars, ne de-
cided TO build at Tidd's Neck. His original
homestead is shown on the left in the fol-
lowing sketch:
The Salt Lake herald. [volume] (Salt Lake City [Utah]) 1870-1909, 1892-10-09

Mr.. Overholt soon discovered that the
climate was especially suited to the en-
couragement of home ties. He felt lonely
at first, but one home tie seemed TO call for
another till by and by all seemed lively and
gay, and the old feeling of loneliness passed
away.
We next introduce view Of Box Elder
street in 1860, merely to show what i'm
provements have been made in that time
by the early settlers of Tidd's Neck. This
onward march Of prosperity and wealth
was soon, however, to be checked by the
war.
Just as Mr. Overholt was about to inagur-
ate other and greater improvements among
them the removal Of the feather TICK in the
window on this end of the house, the coun-
try was plunged into fratricidsl strife.
Hastily calling his family together at
Foley's Grove, he stated briefly that the
war had been brought on by others who
had more means than he had and also that
poor people would haye to do most of the
lighting and take their pay in wooden legs,
so he had thought seriously of seeding
from the war altogether.

At this point is given rough drawing of
the well known Tido's Neck cross walk,
brought here from Pompeii. AS the streets
are often flooded with water, these step
ping stones are OF great value In crossing
the streets, while they may be driven over
10 the daytime quite frequently without
running across one Of the larger stones.
This cross walk has been extensively copied
by other town in the south, but this is the
original one from Pompeii.

On the night of Aug. 25, 1878, Tidd's
Neck was visited by one of the most de-
structive fires in its history Box Elder
street especially was mass of flames
The shrill cry of fire was heard swelling
into 8 sullen roar while the hungry flames
like great fork-ed tongues, licked up the
last pat of butter the Widow Overholt
had. Great, strong men ran to and fro
wringing their hands or rushing madly
into the heat and trying to save the nice
new grindstone.
Now the flames licked up the husk bed
tick in the window and opened up draft
of air which famed the furious blaze into
a perfect pandemonium.
Then there was hush like that of death
and in the midst of it the insurance on the
building was heard TO expire.

said;

TOO SEVERE.

Nothing could be more diScouraging
to the friends of party discipline than
the attitude of the Pioneer Press towards
the Republican county ticket. No
sooner was that representative Republic
can, Tom HOWARD, nominated with
enthusiastic unanimity for the office of
register of deeds than the Pioneer Press
began to Delt him with eggs so rotten
that the missiles which greeted Mrs.
LEASE on her recent Southern tour were
as nosegays compared with them. 1t
called him a corrupt official, an en-
beZzler,an unconscionable liar; and, if he
has any susceptibilities, he must feel
very much grieved at the difficulties his
natural ally insists OH throwing in his
path to glory. From all accounts, how
ever, Friend Tom is a hoary sim
ner, and, perhaps, had no right
to expect anything different from
this. But what have FRED ZoLI.MAN
and GRIER NJ. ORR done that they should
be lampooned so mallciously? If the
picture which appeared in yesterday
mornings Pioneer Press correctly por-
trays the features of FRED ZoLLMAN,
hc iloS ollly ollc uudiiHCdtlOu IOr The
office of county attorney, and that is his
remarkable resemblance to the gentle
men of the classes he would be called
on to prosecute. If the picture labeled
GRIER NJ. ORR accurately portrays his
features, he has mistaken his profess
sion. He ought not to waste his time
running for the legislature. He could
make fortune out of the soap manu-
facturers by posing as the tramp who
two years ago used jones' brand, and
since then has used no other. The
Pioneer Press is too severe. The GLOBE
is opposed to the candidacy of MrZoLL-
MAN and MIR. ORR, but they surely do not
deserve such outrageous treatment. To
paint decent enough fellows. one as a
criminal and the other as a huge I'M
washed, is carrying things little too
far. They can be beaten at the polls
without such cruelty.
