The following paragraph from the
Eustis Lake Region will serve to give
those who have no personal acquaint-
ance with the East Coast some idea
OF the remarkable growth and pros
perity of that section: six hundred

the price was good. Some of our peo-
are now eating pineapples that are SUI
perior to the East Coast fruit, because
they are picked ripe In the patch,
raised in the gardens right here in

his own expense, from Sewannee,
Tenn, to meet Governor Broward in
this city on August 20; and having met

The city fathers should turn
loose upon their streets a

Gently brought suit against the East
Coast railroad. the Railroad Commits

been brought simply to protect the
bond holders against the imposition
OF rates, which, 1t Is alleged, would
render 1t impossible for the road to

The Washington Verdict tells thrill
ling story OF two young men in Wash

part of the town they were suddenly
alarmed to hear the pack of county
