GREAT OPPORTUNITIES
FOR CAPITAL and LABOR
FloruIa Has Three Railroads and VIII
GIve Inducements to Enterprises

and produce can be shipped to many
mills and at the turpentine plants,
where wages are good, and there Is
steady demand for labor-in fact the
supply Is inadequate to the demand.
ANY man who loafs In Florala and vi
entity does so through choice, not ne
cessity.
Agriculture.
While FIorala has mills and facto-
ries that, of themselves, would make
any city of much larger proportions
than Florala prosperous, its future, in
great measure, lies in agriculture and
the development of the immense tracts
OF piney woods land by which 1t is
surrounded. The land Is sandy loan
with a clay subsoil and Is well adapt
ed to diversified farming. Large crops
of sugar cane can be raised upon IT
with but little effort and corn, cotton
truck farming and fruit and grape cul-
ture well repay the effort. Just south
of Florala DR.. r. III. Trammell has a
peach orchard that will compare fay
orably with orchards in the celebrat-
ed peach belts of michigan or Geor-
gia, from which he shipped, last sea-
son, ten refrigerator car loads of the
fruit to the northern markets. In con-
rection with the orchard the doctor
operates a cannery where the grades
rot suitable for the highest class of
trade are put up, and at this plans
during the past season many thousand
cans of the fruit were put up and plac-
ed on the market. All of It found a
ready market at no great distance
from the factory where 1t was prepar,
ed. a large portion of It being absorb
&c by gulf coast cities.
Truck Farming.
Truck farming offers great oppor
tunities to those who desire to settle
in the vicinity Of Florala, the local
demand for all sorts of garden prod
ice being exceptionally good and the
shipping facilities unexcelled in the
south. Freight rates are reasonable

City Property.
City business property IS high, ev
erything considered, but the prices ara
not the result of boom. The at.
vance has been steady and gradual
and will probably continue for some
time to come. The best residence lois
range in price from 800. for those OF
the edge of town, to $500 for those
more centrally located, and the de
mand is good.
Although Andalusia is the county
seat of Covington county, it is sad
in Florala that recent count by the
tax assessor disclosed the fact tina.
there were more houses within the
corporate limits of FLORIDA than in ths
county seat.
Proposed Boulevard.
One of the most important PROPOSE
tons that has received the conside-.
alton of the citizens of Florida is a
scheme to build a magnificent boule.
ward entirely around Lake Jackson. a
distance of something over six miles.
It is contemplated to make a hart
clay road with q surface Of ebert. o'
ample width to be used as a speel
way and with this end in view tia
government authorities have been ap
preached with view to securing a
large number of ornamental trees
which win be used to enhance tht
beauty of the drive when it Is com
pbeted. This scheme Is in embryo a:
yet, but nothing Is impossible in FLO
rala and it is practically a foregon'
conclusion that Ii will be carried GU
at no distant day.

for $4,000 for the purpose Of estab-
fishing municipal water works

from artesian wells and distributed
throughout the city at a small cost.
The legality Of the bonds is now being
considered by attorneys, merely as a
matter of form, and as soon as they
have made their report the work will
be commenced.

Florala boasts a modern electric
lighting plant and the streets, stores
and many residences are supplied with
current for lighting from It. The ca

BERLIN HAS A NEW SWINDLE.
Hardup Man With Bargain Watch, Easy
Market Woman and Fake Sleuth.

Berlin has developed a new variation
! of the confidence game. The victim who
has brought it to light is Frau Elizabeth
Andres, who keeps a stand in the Cen
trail market ON the Alexanderplatz. The
police are wondering how many others
have been victimzed.
Frau Andres was sitting at her stand
| one evening abodt 6:30 o'clock waiting
for customers when stability dressed
man went up to her and poured a hard
luck story into her ears. At the con-
clusiOn he produced a near-god watch
and semitearfully declared that his ne
eessities obliged him to sell it for any
old price. He begged Frau Andres
to take it for 20 marks about So, as
surfing her that it had cost him 100
marks and was still Just as good.
The shrewd market woman scented a
bargain but she drove hard one. She
finally became the owner of the watch
for III marks (S3) and spent the next
hour admiring her purchase and patting
herself on the back.
She had rude awakening when sol
emn man stalked up to her and exhibit
| ing a metal badge announced that he
was Detective Mueller of the police
force and accused her of buying a stolen
watch. The thief, he said, had been ar
| rested and had confessed turning it over
| to her.
The woman was terrified. She shook
with terror as if she had a chill and of
course never thought of question or re-
sistance when the detective laid an en-
barge on the watch and informed her
that she was under arrest as a receiver
of stolen goods.
While the woman closed up her stand
and prepared to go with him the detective
strolled toward the entrance of the mar
ket. When she was ready he beckoned
to her to folow-they do these things
differently in Germany-and started to-
wards the nearest postoffice.
The prisoner kept in sight for a little
way, but he vanished in crossing the
AleXanderplatz. Having no suspicion of
the genuineneSs of Der arrest. however,
she kept right on to the police prefecture.
Nobody seemed to know anything
about her there. She was referred to
| the commissary in charge and he speedi-
| ly OWNED that she had been swindled
The police are still looking for the bunco
men-which has a familiar sound-New
