FOR REFUSE.

And those signs mean just what
they say-For Refuse. Merchants,
pedestrians, visitors, everybody, must
put their waste paper and all refuse
so common about the streets of a
city, into these boxes. No one in De-
Funiak now thinks of throwing a
newspaper, paste board box, or re-
fuse of any kind on the ground, and
to anyone else who begins the prac-
tice the boxes are quickly pointed out
to him. As result DeFuniak is
clean. The streets are clean, the
stores are clean, residence grounds
are clean, and the place is as clean
morally as it is physically.
Attractive Homes.
l have never seen a town where
the residences were SO uniformly
neat and attractive as they are in
DeFuniak. There is hardly house
that does not look as though it had
been freshly painted. The fences are
well kept and painted. The outbuild-
ings are in similar condition. The
lawns are well kept and many Of
them show a degree of well directed
attention that is as refreshing in De
Funiak's case as it is exceptional in
many others.
The Woman's Town Improvement
Association has been largely response
bic for this spirit of civic pride which

as in keeping the public places clean

mite, fixed, and growing Importance
on the map of West Florida, and the
faith of its people in it's future is
going to be more than justified in
the developments which the next five
years will see there
Property Values.
Property values in DeFuniak, un-
like those of many similar towns, are
not unreasonably high. This comes
from the fact that the property of
the place is not controlled by one or
two big real estate sharks, but is
pretty evenly distributed among the
people themselves.
The most valuable of the residence
property is that fronting on the Circle
the broad boulevard around the
Lakeland lots here, 200 feet in depth,
may be purchased for $500 per front
foot-not only a reasonable price, but
an exceptionally low price for prop
erty of that character Other resi-
dence property may of course be pur-
chased much cheaper.
Lumber and other material for
building purposes is manufactured in
Der unlak, laDof IS reasonable, and
residences may therefore be erected
cheap.
