Lynn Haven, Feb. "a, 1911
The cold wave that came wandering
down from tine North last Wednesday
night did some damage to fruits and
young crops in the inland districts. but
it softened its breath when it came to
st. Andrews Pay.
While this morning and yesterday
morning the thermometer touched
around 80, and it was pretty chilly be-
fore the sun got Well up, it was not
cold enough to injure peach blossoms.
the blossoms of any of the fruit trees
or 10 harm any of the garden vegetables
which are now well above the ground.
The GOODNESS really only gave zest to
work, and work is what Lynn Haven Is
interested IL at the present time.
The company's men, including civil
engineers and their respective crews,
mary work of building town is going
ahead by visible steps.
The avenues. named after the States,
which run south from the Bay 'front.'
have all been cut out, and several cross
streets, running east and west, which
are numbered beginning at the Bay
front have been opened up so as to
give shape to the blocks and enable loI
owners easily to locate their lots with
out personal guidance. The dock is now
completed to deep water, and the big
T, which is to cross the end of it, 40
feet wide by 200 feet long. is to be fin
ished within couple of weeks.
Pennsylvania avenue, at the end of
which the big dock begins, has been
cleared of stHmps, and good roadway
now connects the dock with the BUSH
ness section, so that material and goods
can be landed on the dock and easily
and conveniently hauled TO any part of
the town.
Comrade Russell, of Catskill, n. Y,
has finished his store on Ohio avenue,
in the business section, and this has
been rented for the season by Comrade
-LonSley, of Long Island, who is putting
in stock of general merchandise. Com
rade Bedine has bought Il fine lot on
New York avenue, and has started the
erection of a boarding house of 20
rooms. The visitors continue to come
in in squads, and the cOmpany'S fast
lanch, the FREELY. is kept busy making
daily trips from Panama City to the big
dock at Lynn Haven. As the work pro-
crosses more and more satisfaction is
expressed by the subscribers who visit
the townsite, for they are able to see
the town take shape and can appreciate
the beauties of topography and site
which first appealed to the Judgment
of the President of the company when
he selected Lynn Haven as the first
town to be developed.
The Southport Lumber Company has
made good on its agreement to open q
retail lumber yard at Lynn Haven, and
intending builders can get any kind of
lumber now right on the ground and at
very reasonable prices. The yard is in
of Comrade James Mclaughlin.
of South Dakota, who plans soon to
erect small hotel on Michigan or In
diana avenues
The atmosphere of activity which
pervades the whole townSite is inSpir-
and already they can see the newborn
youngster outgrowing its swaddlipS
clothes.
The companys operating headquar-
tiers are on the grounds, but the platS
and selling office still remain at Panama
City, where Comrade Truesdell and his
charming and capable wife receive the
newcomers, furnish them with Informal
tion and guide them to the townsite.
Now is the very flood of the Springtime,
and lucky are those OF the subscribers
whose engagements will permit them to
escape the climatic risks of March ara
April in the North to visit their hold.
