EASTLAKE, ON BEAUTIFUL LAKE
WEIR.
A Spot When Seen You are Certain 10
Admire.

Admire.
A flying business visit TO this lovely
spot greatly refreshed our memory,
and on taking eursory view Of its
fine groves and commanding heights,
and picturesque scenery, we were only
confirmed IN an opinion formed nine
years ago, when last we crossed its
commanding knobs, that it was with
out an exception one of the most fa-
vored spots in the many to be seen in
Florida.
Mr.. Jas. Josselyn was among tile
original homesteaders some eighteen
years ago, and to day is the owner of
beautiful grove and home situated
short distance back from the station.
Mr.. j. from his pioneer homestead dis
posed Of lands that have since been
planted and constitute the present
flourishing groves of the place, extend
ing back and east from the lake shore
aid railroad station, consisting of d.
Hodson, G. G. Wizard, w. j. Wizard,
G. E. Snow, F. d. Waite, Sam Hod-
son, Mrs. Brown, Mrs. Spooner, J.
Hobbs, Mr.. Turner, III. P. Garald, Col.
E. Carpenter, B. b. r. Whitman, J
r. Josselyn, L. Squire, Arnold Wy
man, ID. w. Brimlow aud Mrs. Kelly;
the last named groves extend back and
border on very pretty sheet of wa
ter, known as Silver Lake.
The various groves cover about one
hundred and fifty-five acres of land,
and the past season shipped $1,000
boxes of oranges and 5000 boxes of
lemons.
Those who have fine irrigating
plants and know their value are d
Hodson, g. E. Srow and Mrs. Brown,
and the large crop of fruit they have
show the attention and care they give
them.
AS already mentioned there is not
more commanding spot on the lovely
shores of Lake Weir than the square
on Eastlake's bluff, known as the ho-
tel sight, and on whieh it is the pur-
pose of those interested in this lovely
spot to construct.
A feature of the place is its desira-
bility, and in consequence Herewith
lands are held at good figures, and
they bring them, too. One hundred
dollars an acre was refnsed for ten
acre lot, unimproved, on Prospective
avenue, the second street back from
the lake, and w. J. Wizard paid 81 900
for an acre of land on the lake front,
covered with full bearing trees.
Col. Carpenter, who came from
Spencer, Mass, seven years ago, is the
owner of a fine ten acre grove and
pleasant home. His summers he
spends in the north, where he never
fails to to interest some one in Flori-
da, and is doing a good work in get
ting settlers to Marion county.
Mr.. Whitman has lovely grove
just coming into bearing, and has
solved the problem of how to main
tain pet Jersey cow that gives her
ten quarts of milk daily all throug the
season. fed on begger weed hay, which
Mr.. w. secures from his grove. Mrs.
w. is justly proud of her flowers,
plants and vines, and of the latter has
them that cannot be surpassed.
To meet the people of EastIake is to
be Hospitality entertained by them,
and to see her beauties is to be
charmed by them.

Mrs. Ankle G. Parker has gotten out
several thousand of her kindergarten

Mrs. Parker has sent number of
her charts to the most eminent and

has received from them the most graf
flying letters commenting her work
in the most laudatory terms, and as
suring her she is doing noble service
in assisting the youth of the land in
acquiring correct methods in the in
terpretation of music and udder her
instructions become excellent musi-

Ocala is proud of Mrs. Parker's abil-
ity and the work she is doing for
many of our children in acquiring
musical tastes and culture, and none
the less of her ability as musician
who is profound in her requirements
and possesses the skill to impart in
struction to her pupils and infuse
them with that love for the "dIviae
art' which she SO eminently possesses.
