Truthful Statements.

I have satisfied myself that the
statements maden by The National
Tribune and st. Andrews Bay De-
velopment sCompany in connec-
ton with their new colony project
are fully justified and not exaggerated.
L have seen the work being done, and
as far as possible have Investigated that
to be undertaken. i was not alone in
this, for when / arrived at the Bay L
found number of men and women
there, who had invested money and
were seeking the location of their al
lotment of land. Some of them had
brought plans with them for their pro-
posed residences and business build
ings, and expressed themselves as be-
ing more than pleased with the loca-
ton and future prospects of the colony.
Unquestionably the company has
secured the best and most accessible
lands on this beautiful bay, with miles
of water front and extending from four
to five miles into the interior. Those
who have paid 500 for town lot and
"a five-acre tract are indeed fortunate,
and will make large profit on their
investment within comparatively
short time.
enthusiasm of others. / will admit that
came here with my mind held in the
attitude of skeptic. l felt that
could and would not invest until L had
confirmed what l had been told.
Having gone over the property, haV-
ing sailed the magnificent Bay. having
felt the balmy breeZes. smelled the
odOr of the flowers, rested my eyes on
the semi-trOpical scenery, having
watched the going down of the sun
beyond the horizon in all its golden
glory and the rise of the southern moon
covering the shimmerng waters of the
Bay with it's soft mantle of light, hav-
ing in mind the future greatness of the
new city which is sure to be built upon
this ideal spot. ] will close by the fol-
lowing quotation from only One Flor

Knapp. U. s. Statistical Agent
Earth has but one Florida. The
ono habitat for plants, animals and
men that is daily famed by ocean
breeZes: where men every day breathe
the balsamic odors from pine trees
and flowers; whose equally tempered
atmosphere is health. Not only does
the land invite settlers, but the waters
say come. 1t is the best inheritance
bequeathed by the Father to His chill
dren, long reserved, but revealed at
this last day. possessing a treasure
such as none of her sisters possess or
can secure.
Climate, soil, trees, flowers, fruits,
the waters of the sea, the land and,
last and greatest of all else, healthful-
ness, invite the immigrant to Florida"
Yours for success.

any place i have ever been. The con-

there are no marshes to breed insects

Outdoor Sports.

Anyone who enjoys hunting, fishing
or boating can freely indulge their
tendencies. The forests are filed with
a great variety of game. Quail, doves,
deer and wild turkeys are plentiful.
The waters of the Bay, its tributary
streams and the inland lakes abound
in edible fish of many kinds. Many
large natural beds of oysters are found
in the Bay, from which the surround
ing country is supplied. In quality they
are not excelled by oysters grown any
where on the Gulf or Atlantic Coast.

Nothing too strong can be said about
it. Refreshing breczes constantly blow
in from the Gulf. Even in Midsum-

sheltered from the sun. One does not
feel depressed by the heat because
there is no humidity. Sunstroke is
said to be unknown in this locality.
The nights are almost invariably cool.
