 We have received the following from 8 former Wilmington resident, which may be of interest to readers of The Press :- | Plant City, Fla, Nov. "A, 1901
 Thinking you might like to have lit tie item for The Press from Florida, I concluded to send you description of our little city, the land of my adoption, the land of flowers, the "sunny south, D the land of warm winters and cool sum- mers. Plant City, of Hillsboro county, state of Florida, situated 22 miles east of Tampa, at junction of s. F. & w. and Seaboard Air Line railroads, Is composed of population of about 1000 souls. The largest manufactors are the Warnell Lum- Der and Veneer Co.,, makers of orange crates, vegetable carriers, strawberry bas- kets, etc.; then the firm of Fletcher &
 Bugbee, makers of refrigerator boxes for shipping strawberries in cold storage, Douglas & Brown and J. A. Green, car riage makers and repair shops, and soon to be added large steam saw and plan- ing mill of 16O,OOO feet capacity daily.
 The farming community around the city is of vast magnitude, Plant City being the heaviest shipping point on the roads from Tampa to Jacksonville, over $1O0,
 900 being sent in to this place last season alone for strawberries. Egg plants, GU.
 cumbers, squashes, peppers, beans, corn green and celery are shipped in large quantities, oranges leaving at an average
 of five car loads daily in the shipping sea. son. When the shipping season is at ite
 best the Warnell Lumber Go. ship from seven to twenty carloads of crate mate. rial daily to points all over the United States. All crates are shipped knocked down, to be set up when used. The tur- pentine business Is moving on briskly at present in the surrounding country. Five large stills, located within ten miles oi this town, are in full blast at this time. We pride ourselves on our schools and churches. Our graded school numbers over 300 pupils in six grades, and more room is needed. Our churches number four, denomina nations-Baptist. Methodist;
 Episcopal and Presbyterian, and three colored churches, Baptist, Methodist and
 Primitive Baptist, all in 8 a'flonrishing con. dition. We have ten dry goods and gro- cery stores, one gents furnishing, three millinery stores, one music store, three drug stores, one bakery and two livery stables. We are now building new jail,
 with a holding capacity of twenty, to ac. commodate the weary walkers from the colder states, who delight in favoring us with their gruesome presence during the cold winter months of the north. We try to make 1t warm for them, and generally succeed if we catch them. We have a new opera house, and in the winter months we are treated to some very fine
