On the night Of the 2Sth ult. breeze
direct from the north-land visited that
section Of the country and when the

were badly discouraged. 1t was just sixty
years ago that a cold snap visited that
part of Florida. This being the case il
is no wonder that the people OF Winter
Haven were surprised. Mr.. Swartz's
loss from the freeze amounts to from
81 800 to $1,000.
