The question of road improvement re-

money, good roads cost good deal of
money. Those who are willing to stand
the expense can get them-others cannot.

bad roads are more expensive than good
ones. To cSEvince u community Of this

For some time we have been working
to get THE PROGRESSIVE FARMER on q
cash basis by adopting the pay in ad-
system. 1t is gradually getting
there. To do this, it has been neces-
sary to cut off some Of our best friends,
as much as we regretted to do o Some
of them have come back, others have
not. No matter how prosperous PEG
pie are, it is a mistake for any paper to
do a credit business. The debts are
small, but the aggregate amounts to a
great deal. Our patrons can more
easily pay us a dollar in advance than
we can credit them for several thou
sand dollars. Our friends know the
kind of work the paper has done and
is doing. You know whether or not
you can afford to do without it. Hard,
times and a scarcity of money affects a
paper as much or more than any other
business. We must have what is due
us right away. Our patrons are ex-
pected to pay up now promptly, and
those who want the paper continued
must send money to pay in advance,
or the paper will be discontinued. This
is business; it is the only way We can
make a living and keep the enterprise
going. We owe money, and owe it be-
cause you owe US. We cannot wait

believing that truth and justice is on
our side, however, we are willing and

TINE WORKS CHANGES.

A few wears ago people were content to
eisit a minstrel performance and be enter
,ained by a dozen or more sable perform
prs and so far as it went-and mIDstrel5y
always went-it was good enough. Stage
representation grew apace. Most wide
awake managers read the handwriting on
;he wall and kept their productions up to
the times Not so with minstrel mana
gers. The old style of entertainment was
popnlar tor time. 1t was profitable and
the old beaten path was followed. a few
years since Manager Field concluded the
times demanded minstre!sy of Il
higher grade. The company known as
the AL. c. Field Columbian minstrels
is the realization of several years of prac-
tical experience and study, The enter
tainment the present year is built upon
entirely new lines and yet retains gen
uine flavor of real negro minstrelsy, com
blning plantation melody with the unctu-
GUS humor of the dusky denizens of our
own sunny south.
Everything pertaining to the perform
ance is presented upon a scale of magnifi-
cence heretofore unthought OF. The ACTS,
songs and dances are arranged in dramat-
ic, operatic or pantomimic form, as they
may require, and are produced with every
attention and detail

uIar period Of the winter the sport is
great. Sea trout are now biting in
large numbers. These fine fsh-re-
sembling greatly our northern weak
hsh-win at the hour Of sunset rise
freely to fly, and You have great
sport. The channel bass are a bottom
hsh. also running in large numbers just
now. These weigh all the way from
three to thirty pounds in the river.
while at the mouth of the river. in the
gulf itself, they have been caught at q
weight of over fifty pounds. The big
mouthed and OswegO-back black bass
can be found here in countless num-
bers, biting freely at still fishing, at
trolling or with the fly. They run as
high as nine pounds in weight. In ad-
dition to these there are the roach,
lady fish, sheepshead, pompano, roullec
and cavalle.
''This NAV indicate that when you
get bite you are by no means certain
what sort of a creature you have on
the other end of the line. It may be a
roach, it may be shark. Yes, sharks
drift up into even the small streams,
and it is great sport popping at them
with a rifle.
''The Homosassa. taking that as a
typical Florida stream, is nine miles
long, its source being gigantic spring
eighty feet in diameter. The action of
the tide water has the effect of bring
ing fresh water fish like black bass
and roach. and salt water fish like
Spanish mackerel and sea trout, into
one another's company. The Homo
sassa region has been known to north
ern sportsmen both as hunting
ground and as fishing ground. The
name may mean Fish river The banks
are populous with rare birds of plum
age. Tiger Tail the famous lieuten-
ant of Osseola. made his home here
Tiger Tail island commemOra ting the
name. Here was the home of
Senator Yulce, where he tapped
the first oranges and where even to
this day the most famous buds are pro-
cured. As a matter of fact all the later
and larger orange groves have been
Dudded from this plantation. The
country, as ! have intimated. has all
the characteristics of subtropical
country. Capt. Willard of the Ho-
mosassa inn is asouthern gentleman of
the old school, genial host who ex-
hibits rare tact and wisdom in pro-
viding for the comfort of visitors in
this region
An old Florida "cra cker" offers cor
roboration to this view by declaring
that while ninety per cent. of Flor
ida is dreary, the remaining ten per
cent. is a veritable Garden of Eden,
and Homosassa represents the garden
at its best"
The gulf coast, cut with rivers OF
from six to ten miles in length, some
of which are rarely visited. naturally
offers fine region for fishing. Some
of these rivers and bays are simply
alive with fish. Many campers take
advantage of the remarkable combined
