center.
Another class of lands is what is
known as cut-over pine lands. These
are lands from which the marketable
timber has been removed. Usually
they are purchased in very large
tracts, and when the lumber merchant
and naval stores operator are through
with them, they place them on the
market at ridiculously low prices.
These lands can be purchased at from
so cents to So per acre. There usually
is enough young timber left on the
lands to pay the purchase price. By
careful selection, splendid bargains
can be had in cut-over lands. Those
who care to enter the cattle business
in Florida can purchase ranges out
right for what one years rent for
range lands would cost in the west.

lawaha river and numerous small

secured at a depth of fifty feet. In
some parts of the county artesian
wells are used to advantage for irri-

Marion county sustains the reputa-
tion of possessing the mildest climate
in the Union. Blow the wild winds

ward the north, in Marion it will be

that occasionally rush across the con-
tinent sometimes send out fiankers
into the remote regions Of the south,
which strike aft the leaves of the or
ange trees, blow upon the early veg
etables with their chilling breath, cut
down tender plants and occasionally
clasp the orange with an icy hand, but
the injury done to the fruits and veg
etables of Marion is light compared
with that inflicted upon the agricul-
tural products of other sections by the
frosts of spring and autumn. Tourists
sometimes complain Of the paucity OF
flowers, and claim that the name OF
this section is a misnomer. This is
because they have never seen the cit
rus trees in bloom, never beheld the
magnolias, palmettoes or bay in all
their glory, or visited the hammocks
and river bottoms when they are drap-
ed with garlands set with flowers. But
flowers will grow profusely anywhere
in the peninsula. Proper culture and
plant nourishment will make any OF
the gardens bloom as the rose, and be
fragrant with the odor of a thousand
flowers.
Marion county is situated in quite
the geographical center of the Flor
ida peninsular. The extent from
north to south is thirty-eight miles,
and from east to west, fifty-four miles.
The area is two thousand square
miles.
Within the county limits there are
1.O43,S4O acres of land, and twelve
square miles OF water
The county is divided into 451s
townships.
The county is situate on either side
and upon the great central ridge" or
backbone" OF the peninsular and
forms a part OF its watershed to the
ocean on the east and to the gulf OF,
the west. This gives the highest att
tude and a natural drainage, to whic.3
conditions may be ascribed its re
markable freedom from swamps, staa'
nant pools, etc.
The northern boundary of Marion
county is 90 degrees, Is minutes. This
makes it too far south to be seriously
affected by winter frosts, While it is
also far enough north to be free from
oppressive summer heat.

MACON BAPTISTS PLAN
BESSIE TIFF FUND

MACON, Ca. JAM 27.-Macon Baptists,
as we'll as prominent men from other
churches. began active work last night
to raise not less than $4,000 as Macon's
share Of the Bessie Tiff endowment
fund. Jordan L. Jessup. of the Empire
Life Insurance company, was chosen
chairman OF the endowment campaign
committee and will name his workers
Saturday and a canvass of the city will
be made.
1t was shown at a meeting of business
men held last night that H. H. Tiff,
the Triton millionaire, has promised to
give $4,000 to the fund for every 100000
raised in the state. and with this spur
the colleges friends are confident of
completing the proposed $4,000 fund this
year
The college is owned outright by the
Georgia Baptist conference and 1t Is
now making it's first campaign for en-
dowment, having waited until other Bap-
fist institutions had completed their own
campaigns. President c. H. s. Jackson,
in a ringing address to the meeting, de-
scribed the struggle and success of the
school and told the purposes to which
the new fund would be devoted.

cess of Atlanta in raising S25O,OO0 for
