from 2:30 to 5 o'clock, in honor of her
sister, Mrs. Harry Wilson. of Titusville,

one, Mrs. f. l.. Hemmings showed
the ladies' into the dining room, which
was pleasing to the eye, so tastefully
was it decorated, the color scheme be-
ing red and green scarlet geraniums
and foliage being used. Dainty refresh
ments of sandwiches, pickles, hot tea
and chocolate fudge were served by
Mesdames Hill, Horton and Halliday.
Cut flowers were in evidence through
out the house and lent an air of bright
ness and fragrance to the occasion, long
to linger in the minds of those of US
who were so fortunate as to be one Of
Mrs. Wilson's guests.

EXPOSITION IS
A BIG SUCCESS
Promises to be of Great Benefit
to All Parts of Florida.
ST. LUCE HAS EXHIBIT

The Florida Exposition Fair opened
at Jacksonville Wednesday at the noon
hour under the most suspicious crcum.
stances, Governor Albert w. Gilclrist
presiding over the formal opaning cere-
monies, and the attendant was large,
than was anticipated by even the most
enthusiastic promoters, who were APP
pointed by the Jacksonville Board of
Trade for this special work.
The attendance of tourists and home
seekers from northern and western
states ran up into the thousands, Jack
sonvlle being crowded with people who
are fleeing from their homes IN the cold
sections to various points in Florida.
They had the privilege of examining
one of the most comprehensive exhibits
of Florida products ever gathered to-
gether, and were also delighted at the
magnificence Of the amusement attrac-
tons, which were brought south to show
visitors that Jacksonville is the equaI
of much larger cities in point of pro-
gressiveness.
The committee in charge Of the work
of gathering the exhibit for st. Lucie
county - James E. Andrews, X. B.
Raulerson and D. E. Austin, succeeded
in getting together a solid car of choice
fruits and vegetables and the same was
sent forward last Saturday night.
Judge Andrews followed the car Sunday
and has installed the exhibit at the
great exposition-fair and it is conf
IDENTIFY expected that It will result ir
much benefit to this section.
The exhibit consisted of pineapples
oranges, grapefruit, tangerines, ba
nanas, vegetables, bearing pineapple
plants, bearing bananas, one plant
having a bunch of $50 fingers pau-pau
tree in fruit, sufficient pineapple plants
to set out a miniature pineapple field
several stalks of IL foot sugar cane
and an elegant collection Of large pho
tographs illustrating many scenes il
st. Lucie county, prepared by the Flor
ida Photographic Concern.
To make the St. Lucie county exhibit
a success, it will be necessary to con-
stantly supply those in charge with
fresh fruits and vegetables, and as the
appropr ation by the county and the
citizens of Fort Pierce only amounts tt
$455 it will be necessary to have many
of the exhibits contributed.

White City, Fla, Jan. 49, 1909.
Editor TRIBUNE
1t appears that you hold decided ideas
in favor OF bonds.
Suppose we discuss the matter from
facts and conditions as we find them in
this county, not some other, also lay
aside guesses as to how many miles the
money should or would build.
You speak much of this bonding
as bonding for good roads; just
read and you will find it is for hard
surface and hard sur face only,
What do you propose to do for those
that have been hauling their produce
through mud this long time?
Hard surface it, you may say, that is
right but it will have to be done by
proper grading.
We can not help observing that it is
worse than folly to put hard surface on
any road before it is properly graded,
whether it be on high or low land.
Some of the facts are: There are
miles of public roads in this county
that need to be properly graded as well
as miles that need proper hard surfacng.
This bonding the former just to bene-
fit the latter is to me one of the most
unjust schemes sprung on US since the
drainage acreage tax few years ago.
l want good roads as much as is pos
sble and don't care if it does cost by
making taxes more. My neighbors and
myself included have given many days
work for good roads, more than the
road taxes were in some instances.
| will vote for any just and business
like measure whereby we may have
better roads.
Bear in mind if you bond all this
county for hard surface roads and don't
give all hard surface you are taking
from those that don't get them as much
as their taxes are on account OF the
bonds. A. l.. PARKER.

FAITHFUL CHRISTIAN
CALLED TO HEAVEN

The town of Cape Charles was great
" shocked on Wednesday morning last
to learn of the sudden death, by heart
trouble. of Mrs Emily Graham hine,
wife of F. A. Hine, prominent oyster
dealer of this city.
Mrs. Hine retired on Tuesday night
in excellent health but at twelve O'Clock
she awOke suffering with severe
pain over her heart. She called her son
c. w. Hine, who Immediately summon
ed some neighbors and a physician, She
never rallied and was dead before her
physician, DR.. P. Moore, could arrive.
The deceased was of a quiet unas-
suming nature and was beloved by all
who knew her and this sudden calling
to her reward would be unbearable to
her friends and loved ones if it were
not for the fact that she died faithful
and conscientious Christian and con-
sistent member of Centenary Methodist
Episcopal church.
Mr.. Hine was in Florida on business
and was Immediately notified and ar
rived here for the funeral.
Mrs. Hne was native of NOrthamp-
ton, being the daughter of the late Geo.
Moore, who resided in this county.
The deceased is survived by devoted
husband and four loving children as
follows: Frank Hine of Norfolk, Uf-
ford and Charles Hine and Mrs. c, w.

You can travel over portions of Dade

On Wednesday, December 2, 1908,
through the courtesy of Mr.. K. V. Black
man, editor of The Homeseeker, che
writer and Dr.. |. Clendenen, of Chica-
go, had the pleasure of an automobile
trip through the part of Dade county
lying between Cocoanut Grove and
Dana, and during the entire day could
not possibly cover all the hard surface
roads in that territory. We visited up
ward of fifty citrus groves, besides
many vegetable farms, avocado pear
groves, and other tropical fruit farms.
The pineapple fields looked exception
ally fine and great deal of fruit was
ripe and being shipped. The farms
vary in size and appearance from the
humble homes of the new settlers to
the magnificent plantations like those
of General Lawrence, Dir. MacGonigle,
Professor Blackman and others.
In conclusion word to the other
East Coast counties: People of St.
Lucie! II you want new settlers, vote
| for bonds at the next election and build
hard roads.
Brevard county! Wake up and build
a road To St. Lucie.

but need more to open up your back

they had to haul over heavy, sandy

talk of bonding for $l5O, 900 for hard
roads, but let me tell you that the in
crease in population, and consequently
in assessed valuation and additional
taxes in few years would make the
burden so light you would scarcely feel

me by the prospective homeseeker is:
What kind Of roads have you in Flor
ida?" They want to go where there
are good roads every time. See what

pertaining Mrs. Jeanette E. Grether,
Grand Matron, Tuesday evening, in the
lodge room and later at the home OF
Mrs. A. C. Dittmar.
Mrs. Grether arrived on the early
evening train and was met by delega-

MED her to the lodge room, where an
excellent oyster supper was in readl-
ness, and was thoroughly enjoyed by
the members and their guest.
Following the supper the Chapter
was opened in special session, when
the Grand Matron was presented with a
very pretty silver berry spoon, appro-
priately engraved, and was made an
honorary member of the Chapter.
At the close of the meeting the Chap
ter repaired to the residence of Mrs. A.
c.. Dttmar, Past Grand Secretary, who
on account of illness was unable to at
tend the meeting, and several pleasant

FAVORABLE REPORT
ON ST. LUCE inlet

General w. H. Marshall, Chief of
Engineers of the United States Army,
has reported that, in his judgement,
taking into consideration all the in
terests which will be served, the i'm
provement of St. Lucie Inlet and basin
as proposed, at cost not exceeding
81, 400, 000 is worthy of being under
taken by the United States, in collnec-
ton with the development of the inland
waterways affected, and as harbor of
refuge under the condition as to CON-
tributiOn by local interests recommend
ed by the board.
Further investigation will be nee
essary to definitely determine the de-
tails of the plans of Improvement, but
it il believed that this can be done
whenever the work, if authorized. is
actually undertaken, and that the total
cost of the improvement will not ex-
coed the limit above mentioned"
This report was transmitted Saturday
to Congress by the Secretary of War.
1t is based on number of examin-
atoms, the final review by the Board of
Engineers for Rivers and Harbors be-
ing held on December IL, 1908, when
there was a public hearing and an in
spection of the locality. The board
filed its report December %, and 1t
agreed with the District Engineer that
two jetties would be necessary.

There is an interesting situation in

oranges and it is one that will be
watched with a good deal of interest by
the dealers here and in other mark cts.
So far this season we have had about

St. Lucie the Pineapple Queen.

st. Lucie county is the headquarters
for the pineapple business. There are
more acres planted in pines in this
county than perhaps all other counties
of the State combined, yet Dade coun-
ty is fast overcoming the difference in
acreage. Beside the pineapple business
st. Lucie grows great quantities of real
Indian River oranges and each year this
industry is being extended. There are
also large acreages of choice vegetable
lands within the borders of the county
and vegetable growing is becoming a
prominent feature in soil cultivation.
st. Lucie will soon hold an election to
decide the matter of bonding the county
for $3.50, 900 for the construction of hard
surface highways through the county.
The people are wide awake and pro-
gressive and know the value of rock
roads in settling up the country with
good class of people, and it is probable
that theelection will he carried in favor
