The Ocala Banner of Sunday pub
fishes letter from Hon. Neil M. ALL
red, who is now located at Globe, Ari-
IONA, from which we excerpt the fol-
lowing: eve Arizonians are very ear
nestly working for statehood under
our constitution, which we regard as
the best yet and which we adopted
deliberately, notwithstanding many
warnings and threats from the powers
that be that if we did so we would be
excluded. We feel almost sure now
that it will not be long before con.
gress admits us to statehood, as our
delegation at Washington write that
each day the ranks of those members
of congress, who believe that the SOW.
ereign people of sovereign state are
entitled to frame their own constitu-
ton to suit themselves and their con.
ditions. are increasing" Mr.. Alfred
was formerly state attorney for this
circuit. which office he was forced to
resign on account of his health. and
some years ago moved with his fam
lily to Globe, Arizona. We understand
that the high altitde there has COM
pletely restored him to his usual good
health. which will certainly be graf
flying news to his hundreds of friends
in Citrus county. Neil Alfred was a
successful practitioner of law, and
was exceedingly popular here, and,
the Banner adds that she is as popu-
lar with the profession there as here,
and his Florida friends may expect
to hear good reports of him when AR
iona is clothed with the habiliments

WHAT MAKES A TOWN?

What makes a town, anyway? Is
it the wealth evidenced by fine homes
and splendid store buildings? These
may attest the stability and thrift of
certain people, but they offer no great
inducements olcommercial and moral
progress.
Is it the spirit of good order and
law observance? That is a factor
only. The sleepiest old hamlets that
dot the map have this spirit in rank
abundance.
Is it the schools and churches?
May their number ever increase, but
they don't make town-they only
culture it. Is it the geographical To-
cation, the character of the surround
ing country, shipping facilities, the
natural advantages?
None of these is essential.
Well, what makes a town, anyway?
Just one thing-the unity of the
people, the existence of a common
bond which causes business and So
cial enemies to put aside all differ
ences when it comes to boosting the
town.
No town ever made real progress
on the way to substantial success
without the get-together spirit unan-
imously adopted. 1t has rejuvenated
old hulks of towns that were yawning
their way to endless sleep. 1t has
infused new blood into the heart of
commerce and made thriving cities
out of paralytic villages.
Natural advantages count for much
and prosperity cannot be built on the
shifting sand, but any town with half
chance can be made to grow and
expand and thrive when it's citizens
join with one accord in the boosting
program.-Deposit Courier.

FLoRIDA's DEVELOPMENT JUST
BEGINNING

The development of Florida as a
resort or tourist place is as yet in its
infancy. Not from it's great phos-
plate beds, not from its timber
wealh, not from it's agricultural pro-
ducing possibilities, but from its eli
matte advantages will the state reap
it's largest profit, because these eli
matte advantages will be compelling
force to draw to the state an ever-in-
creasing number of tourists seeking
to find a winter playground, of those
who come for rest and quiet recrea-
ton, of others who come for health,
and of many who make Florida their
permanent winter home, having
reached that stage of life where
wealth enables them to enjoy the OPP
portunity of spending their winters
permanently away from the cold and
ice and snow of other sections.
The climatic advantages would
alone make Florida in the years to
come popular state of well-to-do peo-
pie; but added to this condition will
be the almost innumerable opportuni-
ties for profitable employment in
fruit growing, in trucking, in diversi-
fed agriculture, in employment in
city pursuits which will come with
the ever-expanding wealth and popu-
lation of the state.
1t is a state of wonderful interest.
In it's semi-tropical foliage, so unlike
anything else to be found in the Unit
ed States; in it's lakes and it's even
more wonderful springs, big enough to
form rivers, with it's great stretch of
sea coast, the Atlantic on one side
and the gulf ON the other, Florida
has rare advantages and attractions.
