All in all, Walton county, Florida,
offers opportunities for the home
seeker which cannot be duplicated
anywhere in the north or west and
which no county in the south, outside
of West Florida, can duplicate.
With mild climate, pure. soft
water, and soil that will grow any
thing almost under the sun, Walton
county could easily support in wealth
and comfort population equal to
that of any of the New England
states-and some time it will probably
do so.

DeFUNIAK'S GOOD
PUBLIC SCHOOLS

Excellent public schools are feat
ure of the city's progressive spirit
which is as creditable to any com
munity as the schools are in this
case excellent and praiseworthy.
There are a Senior High School and
q Graded School of eight grades, with
three school buildings, an adequate
and excellent corps of teachers The
work done there is equal and many
think it superior to that of other
schools of the kind anywhere else.
This is attested by the fact that
people from all parts of the union
have located in DeFuniak and one of
the attractions was the excellent
school advantages which the place
affords.
Just as soon as the city's new bond
issue is foated, neW school building
will be erected for the -accommoda-
ton of all departments except the
primary grades. DeFuniak is justly
proud of its public schools,

The report of the Commissioner of
Agriculture, B. E. McLin, for 1905,
gives the number of sheep in Walton
county as 1920 with a valuation Of
$6S.965. While these figures are not
! as large as they would be now, they
show Walton county to be the largest
sheep growing county in the state,
having nearly % per cent of all the
sheep raised IN Florida
The sheep and cattle industries are
particularly profitable in Florida and
in Walton county especially. There
are thousands of acres Of good pas
ture land which Is absolutely free for
such purposes and where sheep can
pick up a living the year around with
out any assistance whatever. There
are no stock laws to interfere with
them and the pastmage is excellent
at an times of the year, while the
pure streams of water which are so
numerous everywhere one travels in
