pedricktOwn Citizens Enjoying Summer
In The Land of Flowers

January 8, 1910.
DEAR FRIEND:-We are once more IN
| the Sunny South where the flowers bloom
| 80 beautiful all Winter. We started on
| Tuesday, December goth, on the Mer-
| chants and Miners Line from Phlladel-
| phia to Savannah, then took a railway
train. We had quite a calm voyage, with
/ the exception of one day it was quite
rough. We arrived Saturday night at
Hallandale, where we stopped off and
STAYED with our friends, E. E.. Somers
and wife. Mr.. Somers harnessed up he
mule and took us out to see his tomatoes,
The cold weather had nipped a few.
Near his was another patch all in bloom
and had small tomatoes on the vines.
They had been set out earlier and looked
fire.
I have also seen some white potatoes
almost ready to dig.
Sweet potatoes are being dug and til
quality is much better than Jersey pota-
toes this year.
We also called on the new bride and
groom, Mr.. and Mrs. Richard Justice,
who are spending their honeymoon very
comfortably in their little cottage, but not
in the style they do at home. We can
live any old way down here and escape
the rigors of the North and enjoy this de-
lightful climate.
II was quite cold Immediately after we
arrived--during the blizzard. We sat by
the fire in the fireplace and it felt good.
1t never freezes within twenty miles of
Miami, but the frost and cold killed the
bean vines, which were full of small
beans. 1t made ice at Hallandale and in
the northern part Of the State, near Jack
sonville, it froze the grapefruit, oranges,
tangerines, trees and all. There has not
been such a freeze since 1895. 1t o o
moderated here and it is now rs. | am
sitting with the doors and windows open
and there is a fine breeze going.
Joseph Cooney is down here working.
He called last evening, after being over
to the ocean in the Lady Love, a steamer
that runs there twice a day. He had a
good bath and got lots of pretty shells
and curious formed corals and sponges.
He is delighted with the climate.
We also saw Mr.. Benz. F. %Straughan at
Hallandale. He has rooms near Mr..
Somers and is keeping bachelors hall.
He likes it very much and says he's going
to stay until May.
l will bring my letter to a close, as in
my correspondence of last season l de-
scribed the country SO thoroughly that l
haven't so much to write about.
1 will write occasionally as my friends
enjoy them.
Mrs. GEO. r. PEDRICK.

flavor and Council at Odds

The new Borough Council at Swedes-
boro has just been organized, although
on January / Mayor Egee made his ap-
pointments, which the Council refused to
confirm, and there has practically been
deadlock. The Mayor named former Sen
ator J. Boyd Avis, of Woodbury., solicitor;
Isaac Stratton, clerk, and W. Scott
Holman, marshal.
At the last meeting he named F. B.
Davis, Of Woodbury., for solicitor; James
Cans, marshal, and Harry souder, clerk.
Souder was confirmed, but the others
were not. Then the Mayor said that as
the other members refused to vote he
would count their silence as in favor
of the nominee and declared him elected.
| Mayor Egee said he would appoint Wilt
am Jaggard marshal.
