Edward H. LeTourneau paid visit
TO Walton last Sunday and was an m
terested visitor with his friends, me
Waters, to White City 1t was MS
first visit to that place and he was very
enthusiastic in regard to prospects N
that section, and spoke very hlgny OF
the beautiful st. Iucie river, which is
very romantic and picturesque at that
point.
We always felt sure that Bill would
distinguish himself if given half a
chance. He showed symptoms of 1t
during his residence in our midst 1t
needed the Walton environment to de-
velop his talent as a land scape gar
dener. He will without doubt secure
lucrative position with one OF the land
a I'd improvement companies as an en-
pert gardener to demonstrate what can
be done with the valuable muck lands.
Miss Miller, our Jessie, returned
home last Saturday morning. She had
a grand trip, not the least interesting
of which was the trip home by steamer
through the last cyclone. 1t was so
very rough that nearly everyone was
complaining of indigestion, sick head
ache" and preferred to remain in their
staterooms." Miss Miller, after day
at home with her parents, left for Lam
tana to take up her work. training the
young mind. very much refreshed by
her vacation.
One of the prettiest sights we enjoy
now a days is the fishboats trolling for
trout. We do miss the sail boats that
used to ply the river. Motor boats are
the thing when you want to git
thar but for beauty there is nothing
like pretty white sloop under full sail
or a sharpe with her staysails all set,
but pretty little fleet of fish boats
with the wind on the quarter and the
sun shining bright on the sails as they
rise and fall to the sea, on our white
capped bay is hard to beat.
A wrong impression is going forth in
regard to the fruit growers along
the ridge. 1t is true that we were dis
appointed in regard to the results Of
our pineapple harvest, but we are not
discouraged by any means. We are
here to stay. We lived before the pine
apple was 1.-THE whole thing" and we
expect to continue to live. We can live
on chickens. eggs, fish, bananas, pump
kins, sweet potatoes, squash, ETC., in
summer and for eight months in the
year we can raise all kinds of garden
Sass and we expect to use our wits
and learn to raise everything we need
to eat. We are going to stay, that is
what we came for. If we do not get
rich what do we care, we can he happy
anyway and when we get some other
means of transportation, our hard work
in the pineapple fields will again bring
US in fair compensation for our labor.
The motto is be cheerful
