A BALTIMORE COUNTY MINISTER IN
FLORIDA.

NEW SMYRNA, FLA, April LIST, 1903
Aessrs. Editors 1T is hard for me to realize
that am LOCO miles away from home and famli-
lar associations. until look around me in this
summer weather. and see the orange trees
blooming for their next winters crop; the grand
old live oaks, with their spreading branches All
draped in hanging moss. and those peculiar look
ing palm trees, 50 and 90 feet high, which resem-
BILE nothing so much as mop broom with the
handle stuck in the ground-when look around
me and see these, could readily believe that
am in the tropics, 1000 miles away from home.
My wife's health, in addition to the fact that we
have son here, has brought us to these semi
tropic regions for rest and a change.
This is a wonderful country. New Smyrna Is
said to have been settled In l765. but the Minor
cans, who, under Turnbull, settled the place
found not only large mounds, works OF the
Aboriginal Indian, but stone buildings of an un-
as the spanish Mission" must have been a
grand old building In its day and was well forti-
fed. 1t was built of ''cochina rock kind Of
region and is as hard and solid as a rock.
The town is situated opposite an inlet, wnlcn
is also the outlet of two so-called rivers one
running north and the other running south. but
both finding an outlet at the same point Tney
are really arms of the sea, and though much
water runs through them, they are much IN,
huenced by the tides. Between these rivers and
the ocean is long and beautiful beach, which,
during the winter. is constantly occupied by
cyclerS and automobiles and carriages. Inc
bathing is fine and the fishing unsurpassed.
The st. Johns river is a wonderful stream.
Though 1t is generally understood that Florida
is very low and fiat, 1t is strange fact that the
ST. Johns river rises more than two hundred
miles south of Jacksonville and runs north till
it finds its outlet Just east of the city. The head
waters are only few miles from the ocean.
Plans were made at one time to cut canal for
the drainage of the lakes at the head of this
river, but the thought as to the effect upon the
region drained by these lakes seems TO have
caused halt to the plan.
A freeze is almost unknown here, but some
seven years ago the people were taken by sur
prise and millions of dollars worth of oranges
were destroyed in one night, to say nothing of
the loss in lettuce, peas, cabbage and potatoes.
AS / write the lettuce, peas and cabbage have all
been shipped, but new potatoes are to be bought
in abundance. The orange groves are now in
good paying condition once more and property
is booming.
For the eye of our friends, Messrs. Editors
permit me to add that hope my wife Is improv-
ing in health, though she has had relapse since
reaching this place. Yours, &C.,
r. HEBER MURPHY.
