\ residen; of Florida writes as follows
of his state: Florida Is the place for
old folks; and it is a good place to wear
out old clothes. Land may be bought
at almost any priee--some near towns
at 50 and upward per acre. Very aesir-
able properties may be held at $1,000 or
more per acre. There are some well-im-
proved farms which may be bought at
very moderate figures. Florida is not
the place TO make money, but a bare
subsistence may be obtained here With
less labor than in any other state. 1t is
not the place for the strong and ambi-
tiets but ii ia the place for those Who
are getting the worst of life's battle
And there are people here from all parts,
go one may find congenial neighbors..
