Soil of the St. Cloud Country.

The last issue of the Kissimmee
(Fla.) Gazette contains @ letter from
Robert p. Gibbs. of Tampa, Fla, who
visited the St Cloud Colony and bought
a town lot and tract of land. His letter
which contains some interesting in
formation. Is as follows:
Since l visited Kissimmee and pur.
chased tract OF land at st. Cloud, !
almost daily learn something that is
all to the good regarding that beautiful
and fertile valley, its people and pros
poets. until / am convinced that not
withstanding the elaborate accounts
that have been published the half has
not get been told. In talking with a
friend of pine, who is in business in
Tampa, and who knows all about st.
Cloud, j was assured by him that /
would like Its climate, soil and citizens.
Or the people he spoke In terms of
highest praise.
To-day L learned another fact that
may not be generally known to your
readers, and which speaks volumes re-
garding the richness of the soil. A
well-known gardener and florist, who
laid out and planted the far-famed
grounds surrounding the Tampa Bay
Hotel, declares that the magnificent
flora and fauna owe their fei tility and
beauty to the fact that he had the fer.
tiliZers brought by carload direct from
the soil of st. Cloud, which he consid-
ers the most productive of hea;thfu]
vegetation TO be found. Regarding Kis-
simmee Valley i am satisfied that ma
ture has done all that could have been
desired, and IL only remains for indvs-
trial art to perfect the natural beauty
OF what In the near future may Justly
be termed Paradise Valley"

THE FIRST DEFENDERS.
They Deserve Far More Credit Than
They Have Received.

Editor National Tribune: notice In
your history you give the first defend
ers very little space. when it was the
consensus of opinion that the timely
arrival of the first defenders saved the
Capital from capture. 1t was SO re-
garded and expressed all thru the
Northern States and by the loyal men
OF the South. ], for one OF that body
of patriots, think we ought to have q
more loyal and fuller account in your
history.
I was First Sergeant of the Logan
Guards when we marched thru Balti-
more on the afternoon of April 1S, 1861.
and was elected and commissioned Sec
ond Lieutenant on April 20 at WASH
ington. j marched on the right of the
company, alongside of H. A. Eisenbise
and II. G. Walters, with w. f. Michel
carrying the flag. Capt. j. B. Selhiem-
er was near me. Capt. Pemberton's S
company of Regulars left us at the
Central Depot in Baltimore. and went
to Fort McHenry. We went from there
to the Camden Depot alone.
The history in the North American,
of Philadelphia, Pa, Sunday, May so,
1909, is correct, and the photos are
splendid pictures, as far as 1 knew the
men. I think you ought to give us
credit for what We did, not thinking at
the time of any rewards. Our only
thoughts at that time were to preserve
the Union.-Maj. X. w. Patton, 23 West

Editor National Tribune: Sheridan

pike, where he asked my Captain for
the Sixth Corps, between 4:45 and )
p. m. / was myself the third man from
the Captain when he answered his ques-
ton. Here IS Sheridan's reply verbatim;
Boys, we'll camp on our old ground

of his voice / woke up next morning

A West virginian in Florida.

Editor National Tribune: Having been
st. Cloud Colony, 1 am prompted to
write and say to the readers of The
National Tribune who have not been to
Florida that all the paper has said
about that State and it's opportunities
has not been overdrawn from all
could see and learn from inquiry. I
have the utmost faith in the future of
the colony. / found out good many
things 1 did not know or fully under
stand until went down there. A good
market is quite as essential as good
crop. Florida is most favorably located
in respect to accessibility to all the
great market centers of the United
States, as 1t is with the markets of
other countries. Ii is closely connected
with the cities of the East, North and
Central West by thru lines of railroad.
Cars run direct from Florida points to
St Louis, Louisville, Cincinnati, Chi
cago, Washington. Baltimore, Philadel-
phia, New York and Boston and points
| intermediate. Florida has a large
ocean and gulf steam and sailing craft
traffic with all parts of the world. No
other State of the Union is so favorably
situated with respect to the West In
| dies, central ana south America anu
Panama. With its equable and health
full climate Florida offers an attractive
home for invalids, and the State has
| become favorite Winter resort for
tourists. Vital statistics show that the
longevity of the human race is greater
in warm climates than in more rigorous
latitudes. Radical changes in tempera-
ture and humidity so common in the
North are conditions adverse to long
| life. The uniformity of the climate OF
Florida is due to the proximity of large
bodies of water, and it may be termed
j'oceanic or marine. There are no rapid
and severe changes in temperature to
put the test of endurance even upon the
invalid. Altho we were there in June
and July, we did not find the heat any
more unbearable than in the North.
The National Tribune has had much
to say about the variety and yields of
crops. 1t has kept consistently within
the truth in its statements of what can
be done. A man on a tract of five acres
can make living; indeed, he can do
much more. 1t depends upon the man.
A man can work in all seasons, and,
unlike the North. if one crop fails he
can put in another. and there is some-
thing adapted to all parts of the year.
The good water privileges pleased
me.-An unfailing supply can be had
in wells, and the pretty lakes adjoining
the colony afford boating, bathing and
fishing facilittes.-S. S. Reger, Weston,

Death of Col. Fox.

Editor National Tribune: ] find in
The National Tribune that comes to me
to-day, June 20. 1909. a report of the
death of Col. w. F. Fox. With other
subscribers / am indebted to The Ma
tional Tribune that a glance at his
splendid work was given. / have my
self given The National Tribune much
trouble inquiring as to when 1t would
be possible to get the book promised
subscribers. Strange to relate, on the
very day of the death of Col. Fox a
friend obtained for me a copy of the
book, and also sent me the report of
his death as given by the Albany Jour
nal of that date. Comrade A. p. Took
er came to our Post Dec. ., 1903, made
an address and gave figures from that
book, and soon after The National Trip-
une was found to contain weekly in

Comrades Dan Wright and Robert

evening. ana are much pleased with
their visit to that proposed, colony of
veterans of the famous Kissimmee VAL
ley OF Osceola County, in southern Flor

civil war, mainly because the veterans
can no longer Withstand the rigors of
our northern Winters. and to give them
the opportunity to pass the remainder
of their days in the sunny Southland,

expect to erect homes there as soon as

thinks that the letter of Comrade Ira

Congress. The people are entirely too
forgetful of what it cost the veterans
