CORONADO

Is situated on the peninsula opposite
New Smyrna and is connected by a
good road and bridge over the deep
current Of Indian River. Here you
can put aside your conventional
garb, breathe In large and deep the
salty tonic Of the sea and enjoy your
self TO your hearts content with rod
and reel in row or sail boat or IN the
ocean surf a short half-mile away.
The great varieties of fish inhabiting
the river and lagoon pass through the
channel from the sea beneath the
bridge. From verandaS, upper bal
cOLies and windows you behold the
magnificent river, the distant laeOOns
and islands, the fOreSt-covercd pen

Atlantic Ocean.

miles south of Daytona and is an
ideal spot reached from Daytona by
a hard surface road winding through
one OF the most picturesque parts of
Florida
With its ancient ruins dating back
to a time when the history Of man
runneth not, interlaced with wires of
the modern telegraph and telephone,
its miles OF shell streets as hard and
smooth as a floor and over-arched by
hoary forest giants that grew in state
ly grandeur during the lapse Of by
4 gone centuries, New Smyrna is truly
a place Of romance and rest.
All nature here is very inviting to
the tourist and pleasure-seeker. Here
too is to be found the best fishing and
hunting in the State of Florida.
The people are thrifty, the bust
ness men enterpriSing, and all unite
in extending the welcome hand of
hospitality 10 strangers. There are
FIVE church edifces for white people
and an equal number for the colored
population; the town has an excellent
high school, a splendid public lib
rary, and up-to-date business houses.
There are any number of pretty
homes for the permanent population
which numbers close to 1000, and
some very fine winter residences.
There are good hotels and boarding
houses where You can find accomo-
dations to meet your requirements.
Adjoining New Smyrna is as fine a
section Of vegetable land as can be
found anywhere. This land has
been divided into small farms which
can be bought at reasonable prices.
Some of the finest celery grown in
the State is raised on this land All
other vegetables grow in abundance,
and here, too, is the home of the fam
Gus Indian River oranges.
New Smyrna has no bonded in
debtedneSs and the tax levy is low.
A point that no tourist should fail
to visit is the ruins of the Old Span
ish Mission which stand somber and
alone about one and a quarter miles
southwest Of New Smyrna A good
road leads to the place and the trip
can be easily made by an automobile.
Silent, in the great pine fats by the
margin Of the forest, is this place OF
pilgrimage for the pious; this rem
dezvous for the picnicker. The ruins
are extensive, and while there is no
authentic history Of their origin, il
is presumed that the Mission was
built by the Franciscans in the days

A Chicken Ordinance.

Down in Jackson, Tenn, the city
council has just passed an ordinance
prohibiting chickens from running
at large in The city. 1t was passed
in response to the demand of citizens
who wish to keep their front yards
neat with flowers, shrubs, etc /, and
who have been unable to do this be-
cause their neighbours chickens had
views of their own about such things
that were altogether different, and re-
fused to compromise. AS usual In
such cases, the owners OF the chickens
agreed with the chickens and refused
to interfere with them. Some OF
them aided and abetted their poultry
in the destruction wrought in their
neighbors flower beds. In this state
of things the people who wished to
raise flowers appealed to the city auth.
critics and their prayer was needed.
Carlo Bulltln.
The above telegraphic special will
perhaps be of interest to some Grenada
citizens Judging by conversation
the writer overheard the other day
certainly there are many in Grenada
who prefer that chickens do theil
scratching in their own yards.

A FAIR FOR
next FALL.
Some Reasons Why ~ Gr
Will Not Only Prof. os1re-
NADIA but the Adjoining
Counties as
Well.

Within the past few days there has
been some discussion upon the streets
Of Grenada about z fair this fall. It
would appear that every man in the
county should take a lively interest
10 this enterprise. In ways too mum.
erous almost to mention, a fair can be
made profitable. 1t will help the
poultry raiser. 1t will help the breed
er of fine horses and cattle. 1t will
beget an interest in blooded horses
and cows and foster the sentiment
that is the only true financial salvation
to this section-diversified farming
and STOCK raising. Right here, it
might te well to state that there has
been over twenty We thousand dollars
worth Of mules and horses sold on this
market during the past winter. All
this stock should have been raised
here and this money kept at home.
A fair begets spirit OF enthusiasm
and rivalry that is bound to yield good
results to the farmer, merchant and
banker. Grenada has the grounds
one of the most pesirable places of the
kiBd in the state and the people OF
Grenada will lose an opportunity il
they dn not wake mp to what can be
! reaped from a fair.
The last fair or two held here are

CONSUMPTION Of
SUGAR GROWING


Chronicle.-The consumption of sugar
in the United States is growing with
astonishing rapidity, For long while
statistics indicated that Great Britain
was more partial to the use Of this
particular commodity than Amer. cans,
but the record of last year shows we
have distanced the people of the Uni
ted Kingdom in this as we'll as most
other branches of consumption. The
particularly interesting feature of the
fact that consumption has reached the
remarkable figure of $50 pounds per
capita is contained in the statement
that it has increased from els pounds
since the adoption of the Dingley tariff,
At one time free traders boldly pro-
claimed that only under their system
could the consumption of Great Britain
be matched, but our experience demon
strates that a good Stiff tariff does moi
impede consumption when it produces
prosperous conditions, as it invariably
has in this country
