climate, which to one escaping from the cold

almost ethereal, it is pre- eminently land of

conceivable variety, from the migratory tribes
common to Northern waters to the tarpon,
pompano, and others of more tropical char
acter. Nowhere in all our broad land can the
angler find a greater variety of game or better
sport.
Here also the most enthusiastic hunter finds
safety. Deer, turkeys, hears, panthers, and
wild cats roam at large through the more
sparsely settled regions, while birds of all kinds
may be found in abundance through out tie
