 While our party was on Honey Hill Hammock. one of them picked up a large grape fruit that had fallen to the ground. Just then the owner came along and the investigator asked him if the fruit that had fallen on the ground was considered valuable. Yes, can sell it for as much as any other, was his reply, a gentle hint that sufhced, as several of the party then and there proceeded to buy sCme.

Great opening down there for contractors and builders who can carry their own skilled labor with them.

Buyers are numerous and prices are advancing raDidly. but Of course the big things will take place when the state mas completed the large canals SO people can get on the EveTglade land. tens Of thousands who have already bought and only awaiting the completion Of the canals which will be brought about in the next year or eighteen months.
