opened to-day by the arrival of the elo-
CANT river steamer City of Jacksonville,
with the popular veteran of a quarter Of
a century, Capt. William A. Shaw, in COM
mand. And with her came the informa-
ton that her companion boat the FREQ
de Barry, is now being rebuilt on the
old hull and will be here in time for the
big rush after the holidays. In the mat
ter of freight the steamer Everglade, I'M
der Capt. Tom Creaser, will run opposite
days to the City of Jacksonville, until the
FTSd de Barry resumes her trips. This
will give US a good river schedule for the
next two months.
Tomorrow the Plant system inaugurates
new freight schedule from Sanford to
Lakeland that is quite significant of the
purpose of the managers to get all they
can and keep all they get" The daily
morning way-freight train will hereafter
leave Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Satur-
days, returning Mondays, Wednesdays
and Fridays But from Lakeland, where
the Punta Gorda and High Springs divis-
ions center, a daily way-freight will run
to Port Tampa. This shows that it is
the purpose of the Plant system to get
the long haul' on all the freight possible
via the High Springs route. There are,
generally, from two to three cars of fast
through freight out of this city to Tampa
on the early passenger train which makes
the run from Jacksonville to Sanford dur
ing the night.
Travel is rapidly on the increase, es-
pecially of people looking for homes in
our state The disasters in the west to the
farmers have caused a big tide of imml-
grafton to flow southwark to warmer
climate, and a soil that can be cultivated
yl1y OIL tba rOnn6. good deal OF
real estate is changing hands, but where
one sells out to leave the state half
dozen come in to fill his vacant place. If
we have no freeze this coming winter,
which is predicted to be the coolest on
record, there will be a big boom in or
ange grove property next spring. In any
event, it is safe to say, a large number OF
western immigrants would find here
safer and more desirable place of resi-
dence than where cyclones, billiards,
grasshoppers and freshets are the rule and
not the exception.
There is a move on foot to give us
clay road from Sanford to Longwood, Al
tamonte Springs, Maitland and Winter
Park, there to connect with the two clay
reads already laid to Orlando. The move
ment has started at Winter Park to bring
the road to Maitland, and the Altamonte
Springs hotel people would certainly feel
compelled to extend it to their place.
Longwood might then wake up and take
a hand in the much-needed Improvement.
This done, Sanford would be Obliged, in
self-defense, to bring the road here. Or
lando is now trying to raise $1,000 to en-
terrain a road congress" there in Deem
Der, if possible. That sum spent on a good
clay road would pay a permanent profit
to all concerned, as road congresses sell
dom ever get beyond talk"
The recent marriage in New York OF
fba van TQiebnr. cf
Minnesota has created considerable of a
stir here in Orange county, as he has had
a winter home at Maitland for a great
many years, where his former wife, a
must sanity woman, was dearly beloved.
She was injured in a railway accident
between Albany and Brunswick some
years ago, and latter on was carried in a
special car, attended by Dr. King Wyi-
ly, railway surgeon, from Maitland to Tar
ibault, Mimi, where her lamented death
occurred. Some two years ago, a buxom
young widow, Mrs. Michael Simpson OF
Massachusetts, came to Maitland and
took rooms at the Park house, next to
Bishop Whipple's residence. She soon af-
ter was confirmed by him in the Church
OF the Good Shepherd, and from that time
on the two families were almost insep-
arabic, visiting the east coast and other
points together, and also spending mucn
OF the summer together. As a result, the
HA9ASR NAAN VI . oAuipSDn were quietly
married in New York last week by Bishop
Potter, bat much to the surprise of many
Of Bishop Whipples warmest friends in
Florida. One of the New York papers
has published a very sensational article
on the subject which has caused spicy
comment here.
Col. Thomas ]. Appleyard, OF the Gate
city Chronicle, is not only assistant Sec
rotary OF the farmers national congress,
but also the Florida vice president of the
young farmers club of the southern states,
OF which Col. Robert Il. Park of Macon,
Ca, Is the honored president. The con-
gress meets at Indianapolis Ind, Nov
10, ID. and Col. Appleyard goes determined
to make a special effort to bring the next
meeting to Florida. He has been invited
by Gov Claude Matthews Of Indianapolis
TO be his guest during his stay In that
state. Col. Appleyard and Maj. Ryals OF
Savannah are the jolly "heavyweights" OF
the congress, and session without them
would be dun indeed. II Is to be hoped
therefore, that the genial major will be
there on time.
