Bowling Park Lot SaIel

umns, the second big sale of town lots
at Bowling Park will take place on
Tuesday, August ID, at 10 o'clock.
There have been so many inquiries and
so much interest aroused in this second
sale that the Jacksonville Development
Company makes the announcement to-
day that positively no more than one
hundred lots will be offered for sale on
that date, at any price, and that all
prices on Bowling Park central prop
erty will be advanced 10 per cent on the
morning of August 18th. 1t will be
seen, therefore, that all persons who
desire to purchase property in this mar
velOusly growing town must do so on
the 14th or pay larger price after that
date. With the development company's
gala day for Bowling Park. Professor
Abel's brass band, of jacksonville, will
furnish music for the occasion and spe-
cial excursion trains will be run from
all nearby points on the Live Oak,
Perry and Gulf railway.
The first sale Of lots at Bowling Park
was on the 4th of July last, and at that
time there were over three thousand
people in attendance. The sale was
unique in the fact that every lot that
was offered had a flag on II, and the
purchaser was compelled to bring the
flag from the lot to the desk before mis-
money would be accepted in payment
therefor. This at once placed the meth
DDS of the development company in high
favor and fully demonstrated their de-
sire that every man buying a lot at
Bowling Park should go on the lot him
self and thereby become entirely ac-
quainted with its location and surround
ings. Perhaps fairer method Of sell
ing town lots in a boom town was never
inaugurated by any company.
The development company announces
that at the second sale, on August 14th,
every one of the 100 lots offered will be
plainly marked "For Sale" and the
company requests every person buying
to go on the ground for himself and Sc
lect the lots of his or her choice. 1t is
understood that these lots will be Of
fered at $50 apiece for inside lots and
SIS apiece for corner lots. Where three
lots are bought by one person they will
be sold at $50 each, although they may
include one corner In view of the fact
that these lots are central, within three
TO five blocks Of the depot, stores and
other business houses, the price is con-
sidered remarkably cheap and insures a
safe investment for any person who has
his or her eyes on real estate oppOrtu-
mites.
Bowling Park is growing perhaps
faster than any town in Florida. Only
few months ago it was an undevel-
oped forest on the banks of the Suwan-
nee; today it is a live, progressive,
thriving little city of industry, COM
mercial houses and homes. Its scene,
alan nf ono IF tho heat all-t ha.yaaF-
round resorts of Florida, with mineral
water flowing from cool springs, large
and well-kept hotels, etc. 1t Is safe TO
predict that there will be a large crowd
at Bowling Park on the 14th Of August

BUYING VOTES.
When British Electors Got Golden
News From the Moon

When British Electors Got Golden
News From the Moon.
Votes have been purchased shame
lessly and on a huge scale in British
elections. An arrangement was once
made in the borough of Wendover by
which two candidates were to be elect
ed after a distribution of 10000 $780,
000) among the voters. The account
reads: "This being settled, a gentleman
was employed to go down, when he
was met according to previous APP
pointment by the electors about a mile
from the town. The electors asked
the stranger where he came from. He
replied, From the MOON They then
asked, What news from the moonT
He answered that he had brought from
thence $4,000 to be distributed among
them. The electors, being thus salts
fed with the golden news from the
moon, chose the candidates and receiv-
ed their reward"

ally as the dancing Punch called at the
houses of the voters and left behind

to $50. Another device was to collect
the citizens at the inns and hand them
their reward through a hole in the
door. For these offenses the house of
commons passed a resolution that Hin.
don should be DISTINGUISHED, but so lax
were the morals of the time-the close
of the eighteenth century-that the res
olution was never acted upon.
Again in 1859 the imam In the moon"
turned up in Wakefield He went
about openly distributing money and
did not appear to be in the least
ashamed of his occupation. At Dub
lin in 1868 hole in the wall served
the purpose of distributing center for
five pound notes, while at Shaftes-
bury an alderman paid through a hole
in the door of his office a sum of 20
guineas ($100 to each elector.-Ch Chicago

this case a little cooling medicine
