ana own a large cotton pldn1atlOn
on which they have been since
before the war. Many old faml-
lies living in that section on old
plantations raising abundant
crops and fruits all without fer
ti1izers, and sad to say scarcely
one in those large families can be
found that can read and write.
What 1 ask could be expected of
them. All this is an old settled
country, we were shown an old
peachtree in full bloom that bore
before the war, it looked rough
and scraggy and very plainly
showed its great age, these peo-
pie were very hospitable and
generous hearted, they located
historical events, ETC., by such
expressions as the great war"
Gle. the war of the 6O's) SCOTS
war" (the mexican WARP the
savage indian war" (Jackson's
war, etc.
This county though settled
for years and perhaps ages is
worthy of a thorough exploration
who knows but one might STUN
BILE over some fossi1e of antiquity
that would shake all Europe, the
farther we go out into this mar
velous country, the more we are
impressed that there is more
curious and strange things con-
tanned herein than is dreamed of
in your PHILOSOPHY, Horatio.
Iadvise all coming here to bring
their medicine chest along, it will
be of more Importance to them
than nic-nacs, there will be p1en-
ty of sickness here this summer,
nose uitoes and other pestiferous
insects will swarm later on.
If there were hills here we could
truly say that the hillsides are
beginning to put on their green
spring mantles. This is head
right" country, no homesteads
to be had here. There is no so
ciety charms" here, it's typical
southern country. You may
stroll back through three CEN
turtles, when it was Spanish do
main, and fancy this the river of
"Dolphins," and yet It's the same
old St. Mary by the sad sea
waves ION this salt washed coast
stood Moorish missions and rock
houses of which we have no his
tory, occasionally boat made in,
France bearing the stamp of the
seventeenth century can be seen.
Across this country the re-
nowned DeSoto splashed on up
to the famous Cow Pen noun
tain Just back of Dalton, only ten
miles away, where to this day
may be seen the tum bled down
walls of an old fort, (supposed
to have been built by him for pro-
lection against the savage hair
dressers of the forest) with a
flowing spring of sparkling cold
water within its enclosure that l
myself have drank from. All
these and other wonders of an
Gent marks you can see if you
will take the pains to climb to its
summit. When he and his war
rior troup left the St. John sriver
they might have crossed this very
town site as they went on in
search of the "elixer of life"
Doub1y famous, don't you see.

That talk about the arteslan
we'll going down is all false, it
isn't begun yet, but the con-
struction train is working full
blast grading and putting in a
new siding up to the new depot
place. A man from Jacksonville
was in town yesterday looking
out the best route, and also the
best location for the Jacksonville
electric car line here. Allotment
day went off very quiet indeed,
Just about half as many here as
was expected, but they continue
coming and drawing every day
since. Some we're disappointed
but many we're very we'll pleased
with their lots, quite a number
turned in their numbers and
drew as many as four times UNI
til they drew lots that pleased
them. The company certainly
did the fair thing by them.
Their proceedings on that day
we're praiseworthy and highly
complimentary, there was not
the slightest appearance of any
scul1duggery. Men came here
very much prejudiced. There
was all manner of faultfnding.
Some sold their stock at
cost or less, some their lots at
half cost when they might have
realized much more, a man came
in from Fitzgerald this morning
and less than FIVE minutes after
drawing two in my presence he
sold them for just cost, and they
couldn't be rebought for double
the amount now, houses (shacks)
are going up in all directions.
are patiently waiting for the five
acre drawings, unfortunately
to those who have their families
here and are anxious to be get
ting in crops, some have gone in
to the country and rented land
and are already planting, others
are out trying to buy farms, DR..
Bucher and Burkhart are putting
in all the time hunting and fish
ing and walking around their
wigwam fire, and talk of going to
the great swamp to wind up with
if it ever turns warm enough.
Of course we were very glad to
greet our many Fitzgerald friends
but just imagine if you can, how
shocked we were to hear the wild
''loony" assertions from some
about our fine location.
However we considered it COM
plimentary on our part rather
than creditab1e to them. The
longer we are here the more as
sured we are that this will be a
successful colony, we are unblas-
ed for we have great interests in
Fitzgerald and we heartily wish.
and believe it has a bright fu-
ture. There is a pecan tree in
Hess than whole day buggy ride
from here that is over three feet
in circumference from which the
owner sold over $50 worth of
nuts this year.
