All About DexIand.
Charles A. Dexter, of Chicago, a
new man in Escambia county, has
purchased a tract Of over 1000 acres
here and is actively engaged in work
inS out some fine plans for the inn
pTOvement of that section. He has
named his place Dexland, and has this
TO say about 1t:
"Dexland is a beautiful spot on the
west bank of the Escambia river. near
the Louisville & Nashville railroad,
and about twelve miles north of Pen
saCOla-the best market in west Flor
ida with good hard roads, rain or
shine, every foot of the way, and is
delightful drive either for pleasure
or business. The Louisville & Nash
vile road offers special fast service
10 northern markets for car lots or
smaller shipments, and on account OF
the extreme early season and good
transportation facilities our produce,
with other Escambia products, are
among the hrst 10 reach the northern
markets. You know what that means
in dollars and cents.
What can We grow? Everything
that can be grown in the north and
a hundred things that can not II is
hard to believe that suCn productive
land in such a beautiful climate can
be had for so little money. but here

The former owners considered its
value only from the standpoint of tim
Der and tuTpentine. They have sold
out and gone with their mills and
their stills. leaving a tract OF high roll
ing land that can raise crop every
years more valuable than all the pine

characters with no particular aim in
life will find Dexland no haven OF
