The Iuka vidette. (Iuka, Miss.) 1894-1912, 1909-03-04

Mr.. w. ]. Moore has returned
from visit to his son, ]. H.
Moore, at Jacksonville, Fla.
While there he saw many strange
things, few of which we give to
our readers. The first thing that
impressed him was a trip to the
Atlantic ocean. 20 miles from
Jacksonville. The St. Johns riv-
er flows by Jacksonville and is
about 2 miles wide, navigable for
ocean steamers. He went on
board some of these steamers and
found them large, roomy and well
equipped. The St. Johns river is
the prettiest he ever saw. 1t is a
tide-water stream but the tide does
not quite come to Jacksonville.
He went out to an ostrich farm
about a mile from the city. About
SO ostriches, enclosed by fence in
a lot of about acres. There are
about so of these birds kept there,
They are picked once a year for
their plumes. which are worth
from $25 to $l0o. They drive
some of them to sulkeys and the
birds carry them at a long trot
that would beat any horse. They
also ride them and some Tins S
run races on them.
The United States postoffice
building at Jacksonville is built of
marble and is one of the most i'm
posing Structures in the South.
1t cost ST. 500, 900.
One Of the finest drug stores is
to be found here. Thessoda fount
and fixtures alone cost $l25,000.
On his way to Riverside park
he saw the largest and longest
fishing cane of his life. 1t was in
a front yard, as large as his leg
and about 80 feet high with only a
few green leaves at or near top.
At the park he wv two beaut iful
lakes, all kind of flowers, shrub
berry and the camphor tree. A
\ party informed him that this tree
grew very fast. A small one set
out would grow 10 Is feet in a
year. The trees have many limbs,
stay green all the year, making
them beautiful to behold.
One of the strangest sights Mr..
Moore saw was the national ceme-
terry at Jacksonville. 1t is very
large enclosure with many fine
monuments. But the curious part
is the way they are buried-some
with thf heads to the north,
south, east, west while others are
buried any and all directions. In
this cemetery are many camphor
trees also.
Florida is not much an agricul-
tural country. The'principal bus
mess is in lumber and tropical
fruits.
The population of Jacksonville
is about 65 900 and is still building
up rapidly.
On his way back he travelled on
the fast Southern which made the
run to Jessup, 90 miles, without a
stop. He spent three days in At
lanta, Huntsville day and night,
at Tuscumbia and Florence where
he spent 2 days visiting c. L.
Watson and PaUr Hodges.

Ministerial association in the First
Baptist church today.
According to the minister Investigate
ing the saloon question the anti-wine

alarming extent. A committee of the
ministers will draw up a complaint

ministers to determine the identity of
