PROGRESSIVE NEW SMYRNA
NEW SMYRNA Is situated hfteer

NEW SMYRNA is situated fifteen
miles south Of Dzytona and is an
ideal spot reached from Daytona by
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 floor and over-arched by
hoary forest giants that grew in state
ly grandeur during the lapse of by
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 mite
in extending the welcome hand of
hospitality to strangers. There are
FIVE church edihces for white people
and an equal number for the colored
population; the town has an excellent
high school, a splendid public lib
rary, and ap-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 ind 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
ous 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 sOmbcr and
alone about one and a quarter miles
southwest Of New Sm-4na 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
for the PiOus; this rem
dezvous for the picniCker. The ruins /
are extensive, and while there is no
authentic history Of their origin, it /
is presumed that the Mission was
built by the Franciscans in the days 1
when the once powerful Kingdom Of /
Spain first planted its flag upon what |
is now American soil. 1t was built /
Of coquina, the roof being Of the |
same material, cut into thin slabs
and covered with cement plaster
Extensive gardens surrounded II,
which were enclosed by a stone
wall, portions OF which still remain.
Visitors usually come IN parties
merry and curious bat the spell OF
the place soon falls upon them and
they separate TO SIT alone, silent and

Mr.. e. G. Scales, the cotton king. Is

supposed to be long on October, which
he began to buy around 13c, and the
