CHRISTMAS IN FLORIDA.
A LETTER FROM MISS GRACE B.
 NEW.

Dear Mother: 1 want to write you of the interesting ride took yesterday afternoon. There are so many places of interet about here wish to see, hardly knew where to go first. So l de- cided to go over to Beresford, hoping to see the boat come in from Jacksonville. It is used mostly for carrying fruit,
 only running between these two points. l was too early for the boat which did not come in until 5 o'clock. The dock was fast filling up with fruit for expor- tation, say between 800 and 1000 boxes and trucks all along the road. Beres- ford is very small place, store, post office, station, no schools. The children come to De Land, a distance of three miles. From there I rode distance of six miles through pine forests to a place called Grows Bluff," deriving its name from the Crow family, who live across the river on a high bluff in an old Spanish house. It is one of the highest points near De Land. The only way accessible to the house is by ferry. A small ferry boat comes across to meet you. A boy of not more than IA years of age took me over, which caused me considerable anx- iety at first, but soon found the boy thoroughly understood managing the boat. Crossing in this manner gave me chance to see considerable of the river( (St Jonh's). l snapped sev- eral pictures while crossing. The old trees covered with grey moss overhang the water and are certainly beautiful sight. Miles and miles of the widest scenery one could possibly imagine. will never forget this place as it is one of the widest places along the rlver but not the most picturesque. At the point where we crossed, the water is about 100 feet in depth and when thought of the frail little ferry, I was glad when landed safely on the home ward side. I took a different route home, riding through hammock a distance of two miles, one mile by the edge of the river. The path was so overgrown in places as to make 1t al- most impossible and so much swampy land. Holly and mistletoe grow abund- antly about here. l gathered enough for our home Christmas decorations in this hammock l speak of. We have planned to spend that day pleasantly. I will tell you about it in my next letter.
 One more place of interest I have  visited, wish to mention is De Leon spring, nine miles from De Land in a most secluded place surrounded by the characteristic trees and vines. The water boils up constantly at a temper ature of 7S degrees, never varying in any season of the year and so clear you could easily see a nickel if thrown in.
 In spite of the distancce from rail- road it is quite a resort, many coming great distances for the baths, mostly rheumatics, and are greatly benefited. l do not know that this is the spring that Ponce De Leon bathed in, but can readily understand why it could be called fountain of Youth" if its reports are true. A short dis tance from the spring is an old Spanish

FLOWER SHOW A SUCCESS

Bessemer November 6-(SpeciaD
was great rejoicing this morning over
the prospects of victory due to the Age
Herald's tabulated report showing coun-
ties for and against the new county and
the opposition only being 1850 ahead with
ten counties to hear from. Citizens here
are confident that these counties will go
overwhelmingly for the amendment, out
stripping the opposition's majority and
assuring victory. Men were assembled
in groups on all corners discussing the
situation and planning all manner of
ways of celebrating should conjectures
come true as to results. Never before in
the interest of Bessemer has there been
such manifestation of interest, and now
with the fluctuation of reports should the
amendment lose an apathy would spread
over the city never dreamed of and Bes-
semer would have more of the Sc
pulchral aspect than the thriving busl-
ness industrial center that she is.

"The first time l went out as a nurse

Tho doctor gave us some ointment to

seemed to be suffering terribly, and at
times had to walk the floor with him
night and day, sending for my husband
to carry him when l could not. His
poor little head became covered with
crusts and the doctor decided it was
eczema. The fearful itching went on
for months, and the little fellow was
wasted to a skeleton and could get al
most no rest. At last l decided to try
the Cutioura Remedies, bathing him
with Cuticura Soap, using just as little
water as possible; then / applied the
Cuticura Ointment, and gave him small
doses of Cuticura Resolvent. This re-
lieved him almost at once and in
