The country in the vicinity Of Pen
sacola offers advantages to the truck
farmer, fruit grower and stockman
that are unequaled in the, southern
states. 1t also offers great induce
ments to those who may desire to un.
dertake diversified farming, no Sec
ton being more prolific and none Of
fering better market for products of
every description. The climate is
such that two or three crops may be
grown-in fact crop may be had
nearly every month in the year, and
the soil yields readily to the efforts Of
those who are willing to work it.
All through West Florida are i'm
mense tracts Of land from which the
timber has been partially cut which
can be secured for a small sum per
acre, and upon which any Industrious
farmer can do well. In the Immediate
vicinity Of Pensacola Is the Perdfdo
tract, one of the most beautiful sec
tons Of the south and one offering
every advantage. The country is
slightly rolling and well watered and
homes can be secured there at small
cost

go on every trip. The CAPACITY of
these vessels is in the neighborhood of
100 tons each. The mail launch Ruth
also makes three trips per week to
Choctawhatchee points and on every
trip is loaded to her capacity. Sever
al schooners are also operated in the
Choctawhatchee trade that make
either weekly or bi-weekiy trips, and
are always loaded. All of these YES
sells get return cargoes of naval stores
and sometimes the amount is so great
that it is necessary to tow a lighter in
order to be able to handle the bust
ness.
Coast Trade.
The steamer Tarpon, vessel with
a capacity Of $50 tons makes weekly
trips between Pensacola, st. Andrews,
Millville, Apalachicola and Carrabelle,
connecting at Apalachicola with river
steamers that run as far north as Co
lumbus. This vessel takes, on an aver
age, fully 200 tons of miscellaneous
merchandise from Pensacola mer-
chants to points along it's route and
to other points reached either by
water from Apalachicola or rail from
Carrabelle. The Tarpon invariably
brings in full cargo of naval stores,
its average load being about 1000 bar
rels.
There are two large schooners that
make regular weekly trips between
Pensacola and points on st. Andrews
bay, the Cleopatra and the Lucy H.,
the former being equipped with auxil-
larry gasoline engines. The Cleopatra
carries about 40 tons and the Lucy H.
in the neighborhood of 80 and both
have all the business they can attend
to. The schooner Blanch also makes
bi-weekly trips to st. Andrews, bring
ing down cargoes of lumber. salt fish
and naval stores and generally carry
ing back nearly one hundred tons of
miscellaneous cargo.
Bay Business
There are two or three schooner
that operate between Pensacola and
points on Perdido bay, but they are

comes better developed, syrup and
sugar factories will undoubted be
erected throughout the entire section,
taking all of the cane that is raised
and converting it into syrup or sugar.
A Fine Market.
Pensacola offers one of he best mar
kets in the country for the truck
farmer and poultryman, the demand
always exceeding the supply, and as a
consequence prices rule much higher
than in the northern states, or even
in cities but few hundred miles fur
ther north. Poultry raising offers
great opportunities, especially, and the
few who have gone into this business
during recent years have made it pay
large returns.
To the farmer who desires to DEF
vote his energies to the growing OF
large crops it may be said that corn.
cotton, sweet potatoes and other field
crops do well throughout this section.
and large crops of hay are raised in
the bottom lands. The hay farm of
the Southern States Lumber Co., To-

immense crops of the finest hay, and

taking out miscellaneous cargo.
The big mail launch Grand Rapids,
which makes three round trips per
week between Pensacola and points on
East Bay, takes out about so tons. Of
merchandise per week, and several
small schooners from time to time
make trips when cargo offers.
Between Pensacola and Milton and
Bagdad there is a regular daily
steamer, the City of Tampa, which
carries practically all of the merchan-
disc between the points mentioned.
The schooner Lottie also runs be-
tween Pensacola and Milton and gets
a full cargo every trip, as do one or
two other small vessels which make
trips occasionally. The Edna c., a
steamer of about 100 tons, also makes

The coasting trade has become so
important that the Southern Pacific
railroad company is now building a
large vessel exclusively for this bust
ness, which, it is expected, will be in
service in the course of the next
month or two. From what can be
learned relative to this steamer it will
start from New Orleans and touch at
the different cities as far south as
Tampa, making round trip each
week. A new coasting steamer has
just been equipped for the trade at
Mobile and is now upon her first trip
to coast points. Although she did not
stop at Pensacola on the first trip
there is no question but that she will
make this city regular port of call
in the near future.

Pensacola has four banks, three OF
them being operated under the ma
tional banking laws, and they are
among the soundest financial insti-
tutionS in the country. That this Is

At that time F. G.. Brent & Co. were

An important factor in the CONNER

Deep Water City is the coasting trade,
and but few people have even the
fainest idea Of the immense quantities
of merchandise of every description
that find an outlet from this city
through the transportation channels
offered by the various lines of steam
ers, sailing vessels and launches that
make regular trips to this port.
Every conceivable thing in the way of
merchandise is taken out and the car
goes OF some OF the larger vessels
sometimes include farm wagons, ma
chinery OF various descriptions, dry
goods, groceries, canned goods, pack
inghouse products, feed stuffs, ice,
hardware, liquors and miscellaneous
articles too numerous to mention. 1t
1t conservative estimate to say that
over 100000 pounds per week goes
out Of this port by water most of it
consigned to cities East of Pensacola,
large portion going inland as. far
as Tallahassee, Quincy, and other
West Florida cities which can be
reached by a combination water and
rail rate much cheaper than by an
all rail rate. 1t is also safe to say
that more merchandise goes from
Pensacola to points on the river north
Of Apalachicola by water than goes by
rail.
