PLEASANT RECEPTION
TOREV. W. M'COMBS

A most enjoyable social event for the
people of Fort Pierce was the reception
rendered the new Presbyterian minis
ter, Rev. Harry w. McCombs, by the
Ladies Aid Society, in the Improvement
Club hall, Wednesday evening.
A crowd estimated at nearly two
hundred commenced gathering at 8
o'clock and were met by the recep.
ton committee. composed of Capt. and
Mrs. Benz. Hogg and Mr. and Mrs. A,
X. Wilson, who presented them to Rev.
McCombs.
The hall was most tastefully decor
ated by the ladies'. and presented more
the appearance of a private parlOr than
a public hall, with it's wealth of potted
plants, evergreens and flowers, and the
arrangements of tables and seats.
A pleasing and interesting program
of musical and literary numbers was
rendered, composed of solos by the
Misses Lillian and Margaret Nelson,
and Rev. McCombs, and readings by
Miss Maggie Bell Thaxton, which added
materially to the pleasures of evening.
After an hour spent In social inter-
course, most delicious refreshments
of ice cream and cake were served, and
the party dispersed. Much credit is
due the committees on arrangement
and refreshments, whose labOrs con-
tributed so largely to the pleasure and
success of the evening.

FLORIDA ADVANTAGES
{ FOR HOMESEEkERS

Besides the advantages to be obtain.
ed from owning home in Florida, there
are numerous advantages to be secured
from the investing in Florida lands.
The Financial and Industrial Record
gives few as follows:
Thousands of wage-earners in the
large cities, many of them heads of
families, with their children growing up
in crowded, cOngested streets, have
been convinced by reason of the panic
conditions two years ago and the sub
seuucnt disturbance in industrial lines
that followed in the North and West.
that it is to their'interest to seek the
ca,ntrv. where the conditions are more
stable, comforts and luXurles more
certain and the pleasure Of living more
pronounced. :,
Tie result is that Florida, the State
of sunshine. health, wealth and happi-
ness, as we'll as place of prosperity, is
reaping the benefit. z
While Florida lands are tine most pro-
ductive the year round. they are cheap
err than in other states that have fewer
advantages. In fact Florida lands are
so mpcn cheaper lndl l"c 0o!H'S Po"H
.er-the yielding power Of the invest
ment. is greater, and thus the profits
are larger or less capital invested.
Again. Florida offers more 0ppOrtun-
tiles for making living than any other
country on eartn. No matter what his
favorite pursuit may be, one can here
have the opportunity of enjoying it.
There is, in fact, wider range of pur-
suit here in Florida than in any of the
state north oft, and any man of energy
and good character may take his choice
and make living.
One thing that puts Florida far ahead
of other states is the social conditions.
Elsewhere man without money has to
force his way in or live until his hair is
white with age; but here, il he is up-
right, honorable and Industrious, the
door stands open to him and he has a
cordial welcome. In other words, a
mans standing in Florida does not de-
mend upon his having money, but char
acter. Recognition here is based on
merit, and not lucre'
