Prospects were never brighter fol
cur lovely little village than now, prop
erty changing hands and houses rent
ing to better advantage than ever be

For natural beauty, none of the sur
rounding watering places or health re
sorts can compete with Vaudeville.
While reading your valuable paper: q

violets everywhere" Here It 10
Roses, roses, roses everywhere,
viOlets, violets, violets here and there.
Who does not love the Violet Whs
does not love the rose betterl Tia
true, the violet Il . wee modest thing,
beloved for that; but the roses, such
- the Jacqueminot, Marshal Nell,
Duchess de Brebant, Cloth Of Gold,
and the hundreds Of others which grow
in such profusion here, are beloved foE
that bold, dashing haughtiness which
belongs to them only. No matter where
we 60, along the Lake shore or through
the village, We see these beauties, min.
gled with the jsssamiues, carnations,
peoples, verbenas and honeysuckles ;
then we turn and see the live oak,
magnolia, china ball, orange, fg and
pecan trees sending forth their leaves
and blossoms. Who would not love
Vaudeville?
