TO ST. CLOUD BY WAGON.
Veteran and His Wife Drive From
West Virginia.
From the st. Cloud Tribune.

James A. Harman, Co. F, eth KY,
known in the war as the Wildcats, y
arrived in st. Cloud Tuesday, Aug. 80.
He left Scott Ford, Clay County, w.
Va, March %. in two-horse rig, with
his wife and two boys, one 6 and the
other Il, on a health and home hunt
ing trip. He drove thru Kentucky,
Tennessee and Georgia to Valdosta, on
the Florida line, when he decided to
ship by rail to st. Cloud. He made
stops among friends and acquaintance
en- route, and was water and mud
bound at various points, having en-
countered considerable rain during the
last month or so.
When he started Mrs. Harman was
in very poor health, but the journey
wrought a marked change in her con-
dition, and she reached st. Cloud feel
ing in better health than she had en-
ioyed for years. Comrade Harman,
too, had suffered a good deal from
rheumatism, the pains and aches grad
ually disappearing as he neared this
haven of health and restfulness. He
noted an interesting fact that the far
ther South he came during the hot
months as he neared the region of gulf
winds, the less he suffered from heat
both day and night, the nights in par
ticular He says there is an idea in
the North that Florida, being the most
southerly State in the Union, is the hot
test. One only needs to come TO Flor
ida during the Summer. he says tn find
that its Summer temperature is one OF
the most delightful in the Union, and
in-ume this State will become popular
all the year around as a resort. Com
rade Harman was for 10 years Com
mander of G. A. r. Post and 'altho
well along in years, is robust and active.
and has already made a number of
acquaintance among the old comrades.

welcome He has rented a house on

into the quiet of home life after months

A Comrade Gives the Results of II
Months Experience There.


Mr. II. w. Young, Shabbona, Ill. --S
My Dear Comrade: Your very well
come letter received. / have written a
good many long letters to comrades, but
they seem to take it as a matter of
course, many of them forgetting TO put
In a, postage stamp, but L am here and
comrade, and l want to do a COM
rades duty to my comrades, and give
them all the information 1 can from
my point of view / have received some
letters from comrades who have gone
TO the other colonies that are doomed
by land sharks, one from Texas, " here
the company promised to do everything
Tor the settlers, and got families out On
thelr grounds and left them in a starry
ing condition. with no money to get
away. But this is n regular G.. A. r.
veterans colony: no fraud of any kind.
j have been here ii months, and I have
the first real complaint to hear from a
comrade. The company has fulfilled its
promises to the letter, and in some cases
refunded the money to some who were
not satisfied. There must be allowances
made for a new company. The land is
new and has to be turned up to the sun
to sweeten up, but if you know any
thing about gardening you Will be sur
prised TO see how things grow. OF
course, the seasons are short, but you
can grow three or four crops n year.
Now, | have been picking tomatoes out
of my garden for two months; not
many, but enough for me and few
Tor my nephew, and l have just planted
some new plants. 1t seems 1hat YOU
can be planting something all the time
and with care it will produce ard if
you are indolent the grass and weeds
will soon cover everything up. So in
order 70 be producer you must he Gp
and doing. There are many things
that will attract your attention: chick
ems, cattle, hogs, bees. geese. all these
are profitable if handled in the right
manner. and every comrade is your
friend if you are friendly. Then, there
Is the Woman's Relief Corps. This is
composed of SO or more as fine, loyal
women as You meet anywhere, and how
they do work! This evening as l went
to the post office, l saw they were Civ
ing supper for Is cents each, so Il
paid my Is cents and was given n tin
plate, knife and fork, and passed on
down a long table that had about II |
women dishing out things onto the |
plates as presented. BY the time you
got to the end of the table your plate |
would be filed up with the good things
to eat like mother or wife makes. and |
TO top it off you got a tin full of the best |
coffee you ever drank. And such har-
mony and good-fellowship all over the |
colonyi Words fail to express the good |
feeling that prevails at st. Cloud. No
wonder II is growing. Those who have
gone out on their five-acre tracts are
coming in with wonderful stories Of
progress along the lines that they are
working.
Well this is Aug. u. but we have
had one of the most delightful days of
the year, sun not too hot and breeze
blowing all day long. Nothing could
oe more pleasant than the climate of

Editor st. Cloud Tribune: Perhaps YOU
speak from an entirely unbiased point
of view. l am not a soldier, nor have
j any aoldier connections living in ST
Cloud or anywhere near there. NY wife
and i were taking trip thru Florida
last Winter just to see the country. not
even knowing that such a place as St
Cloud was in existence when we left
home; but while travelling along the
Atlantic Coast Line we heard enough
of ii to cause curiosity to go and see
the place. which we did. 1t looked good
TO us at first sight, and within an hour
decided to buy some property, and be-
fore the day was past we had bought
two lots on Minnesota avenue and a
10-acre tract. We talked with numer-
Gus old soldiers, most of whom were
happy In their new surroundings and
contented and confident of the future,
but met one or two who from their very
nature could not see Alright
we md these people everywhere
men who. when they see a bright. ra-
diant sunset. instead of enjoying its
rare beauty, construe il as a sign that
something terrible is going to happen;
but what these men said had no effect
upon us. We left st. Cloud that same
evening, but returned two days later
and bought four more town lots. We
are still glad we made the purchases
ana want to get down there just as
soon as possible and improve our prop
erty.
st. Cloud will take no backward step.
Nature has otherwise ordained. The
few discontented individuals. standing
in their own light but reaping the BEN
ehts of ST. Clouds wonderful growth
In spite of themselves, are only trifiing
obstacles which time will march over

himself as more than pleased with his
property. Before leaving here he was
offered a very advantageous price for
his acres, but his ideas in regard to
the location and quality of the land
were such that he declined an offer of
even twice the amount. We understand
that the party desiring to purchase was
an old settler, who knows what he is
talking about and would make no rash
offer. Mr.. and Mrs. Tool Will become

the Sout1 ever gotten together, is seel.
here at the best possible advantage.
The exposition management gave it
splendid position and in arrangement
ana decoration it IS most attractive.

the combined mileage of the railroads
joining in the display being 3O,OG0

Every product of Southern farms.

dreds of visitors having for TIE first
time learned tlat the South is a grea,
grain growing section ana that its
lands can produce as many bushels of
corn, wheat, or oats per acre as an2

The management of the exposition

er this exhibit one OF tLa really great
features Of the exposition and are most
appraciative in their expressions to
ward the railroads Of the South for
collecting this exhibit and bringing it
