Furniture Factory.
"One industry that would do excep-
tionally well in Florala is a furniture
factory, especially one manufacturing
the low and medium grades of furni-
-ture. The supply of raw material for
such an industry is practically mex
haustible, timber of almost every de-
scription necessary to the uses OF
such a plant being available in the
immediate vicinity. The facilities for
shipping the product are as good as
can be found anywhere, and there is
a large field, within a comparative
short distance, where the entire out
put of large factory could be dis
posed of.
1T is an actual fact that freight on
furniture from manufactures in other
states to Florida, and points equally
distant from them, costs as much as
the furniture does to manufacture. A
large proportion Of the low and me-
dunn grades of furniture that is used
in this section comes from a factory
at High Point, y. c., and it costs as
much to get it here as the furniture

ancient Legend Of the Lost Dutch
Town Of stavoren.

ancient Legend Of the Lost Dutch
Town of stavoren.
Along the shores Of the German
ocean, as in other parts Of the world,
there are legends Of great and popu-
lOus cities swallowed up by the sea.
Sometimes these legends are based
upon facts and occasionally not. A
writer in the Scientific American says:
The most striking Of all the legends
Is that dealing with the lost Dutch
town of Stavoren. at the entrance Of
the Zuyder Zee. Here there lived q.
rich and powerful lady, whose pride,
cruelty and selfishness aroused the
anger Of heaven and caused the wicked
and misguided city to sink beneath the
waves. A small portion of the city
(where the good people Iived) was
saved, and its name still cleaves TO
the small town of Stavoren. 1t is an
indisputable fact that In the thirteenth
century Stavoren was a wealthy and
powerful commercial city. However,
due partly to the ports becoming
choked with sand and partly to the
Eruption of the Zuyder Zee in 1877,
it rapidly lost its Importance, and at
the present time what is left of it az
fords shelter to only about 800 souls.
The roofs and spires of the now sub.
marine buildings can, it is said, be
often seen far down In the depths
when the sea is still and the weather
Is clear, while silent listeners on
Christmas eve will hear the distant
and muf1ed tone OF church bells aris-
ing from the depths, only to break In
bubbles and ripples on the surface Of
the Zuyder Zee.
disaster befell the small hamlet of
Ttefengruben about thirty years ago.
This was pretty little village situated
near Kranichfeld, in ThurIngia, Ger
many. In the center there was a
small innocent looking pond, upon
which the good people used to keep
their ducks and other water loving
fowl One stormy day, why and where
fore heaven only knows, the village
went down, and its place was taken by
y AAA8S AahCg WhASh bbAAl lug
site of the Ill fated village. The be-
higDted peasant returning home after
a hard days work Telling timber in
the forest surrounding Kranichfeld
often sees uncanny looking lights fit
ting about over the marshy ground
and mutters a prayer for the rest Of
the troubled spirits who, he thinks,
are hunting for their lost home. These
lights are merely ignited marsh gases,
or will O. the wisps.'
MANY other towns have disappear
ed, due to landslides, avalanches and
the like, which have hurled them into
lakes and inland seas. Local legends
say that huge devilfish live in these
lakes, and it is their movements which
cause the towns to slip down and hurl
their contents into the depths, where
the monsters can then glut their maws
on mangled flesh and blood. Since the
eleventh century old Hans as the
Frisians call the north sea, has devas-
tated no less than IA towns and viii

entirely or else by burying them under
