To him who enters the state for the
purpose of engaging in an agricultural
life, Florida offers many and varied
attractions.
In the first place, Florida soil is noted
for its fertility, and thcdiNcrSitjrd crops
that can be grown thereon. In the
second, owing to her geographical
position, her crops reach maturity and
are on the worlds markets before the
same products of other states bcgin to
mature, thus enabling the Florida
grower to demand and receive the very
highest prices for his wares.

ways he might be helped. He paid
fine tributes to his people and to the
friends he had made outside of his
church.
DR.. Newell stated that he knew
nothing whatever of his going to
Texas as had been circulated here,
but stood ready to go wherever sent
as he considered "Method!sm the best
common sense polity to give the gos-

DR.. Newell and his delightful fam
lily have made strong friends here
both within and without the Broad
way church, and much regret has
been expressed on their leaving.
