MARVELLOUS DEVELOPMENTS

If not a systematic there at least
seems to be a persistent effort to
boom the south and with so many
agencies at work there is compelled
to be marvellous developments in the
not distant future.
With her twelve hundred miles OF
seacOast, her rivers. lakes and springs
her abundant forests and her superb
climate, it does seem to US that Flor
ida, more than most of the other
states. is destined 10 make marvellous
progress in the next few years.
We are growing now more rapidly
than many imagine. When the father
of the editor Of this paper landed in
Florida Pensacola, Tallahassee and
St. Augustine were about the only
towns there were in the state. Meas
uring from that time, see what the
growth has been.
Some years later. when his uncle
the late Z. J. Harris, settled on Lake
Harris. his nearest neighbor was thir
ty-five miles away.
What has been done in Florida has
been done in less than half a century
and the greater part of it in less than
quarter of a century.
With all the present forces and fac
tors at work it it fair to assume that
more will be done in the next decade
than in the past half century.
Be in position to get on the ground
floor and as the opportunities present
| themselves be ready TO seize them
as they are ripening and before they
get beyond your reach.
Opportunity rarely strikes at any
! ones door more than once.
