what pity that can't be built like
the ohe-horse Shay and wear out all over at

then fail to pieces like the one-horse

was at the point of death from kidney dis
ease and sent for Schneider. He cut him
oren in the back and took out his kidney
and cleaned it and put it back and sewed
hIm up and he got well and preached that
sermon, and made the Roman Catholics
mad, and they voted for Cleveland and
elected him. DIR. Schroeder was a democrat

But | am still delighted with Florida
have been to Plant City and Dade City
ana Leesburg and found the good people in
every place content with their homes l
did not find time to drive out and see the
famous orange tree near Plant City-a tree
that is three feet in diameter and sixty
1eet high and sixty feet in
breadth of branches, and that
bears 10000 oranges. This is the
region famous for quails. Two small boys

Motel and sold them for
cents apiece. They caught them in traps
Two hunters brought in 115 the same day
that they had killed on the wing. Quails
are abundant all over this side for the hunt
ers have but recently begun to shoot them
on the gulf coast.
Nature has done much for Leesburg. It's
surroundings exquisitely beautiful.
There is hardly room between Lakes Griffin
and Harris for the town. 1t has only one
long, beautiful street Fine hotels ard ele-
CANT stores adorn this street, and it is pave
ed with solid, durable clay. This clay
abounds in many convenient places along
the public highways, and many miles have
already been graded with it at a cost of
about 500 a mile. Just think of that! It
has cost Orlando $1,000 mile, for it has to
