The silver service for the new battle

THE FLORIDA GROWER
ADVISES TO DRESS UP

The following from the Florida Grow
er is the truth, the whole truth, and
nothing but the truth so help you Bob,
and is applicable to many towns. Read
it, and then go to work:
1t is discouraging to stranger who
has heard the glories and beauties OF
Florida sung through the columns of
the press; who has seen the charming
pictures in the magazines and the fold
ers of the railway and hotel guides; who
has heard the ARABIAN Knights" stor-
les In the prospectus of the land COM
panies Though he swallows the latter
with the prOverbial grain of salt, to
come down through Florida and see
miserable, squalid. unkept places along
the road. 1t makes the FlOridian, who
knows his Florida, and knows the
beauties and grandeur of his state,
hang his head in shame, and hunt the
fartherest corner of the smoker. He
has. Dragged on Florida, extolled her
beauties, her climate, her people and
this is Florida. He knows that among
her lakes, along her rivers and bays.
beside the sounding pillows Of the ocean
that lave her snow-white beaches, tn re
are scenes of beauty and sublimity that
are unrivalled anywhere in the world.
But does the stranger know it? What
he sees from the car window he sees
and what he sees is Florida.
Nor is this slovan condit on confined
entirely to the path of the steel rail-
wav. Pass through our hamlets and
villages. Weather-beaten, implanted
houses; untidy grass and weed.grown
yards; back yards cluttered with toma-
to cans and trash; a window gone here
and there; the gate hanging on one de-
crept hinge; the fence with picket

maybe it's your own town. Amt you
ashamed of it? You ought to be.
No use talking hard times can't af-
ford to make any improvements.
Can't. you? Well suppose you try and
hunt few rusty nails and hammer and
mend that fence. Put on a leather
hinge. if you can't put an iron one the
sole of any old shoe will do. Save a
few pennies from that box of Gear

get pane of glass; the storekeeper
will give you enough putty and lend
you knife to put it on. Borrow a
rake or make one with some nails and
two pieces of wood, and rake that

DO GOOD ROADS PAY?

land is now worth $50 to 500 the acre.
jackson county. Alabama, built rs

roads was $4 SO the acre. Now ready
purchasers would be glad to take them
at from SIS to S25 the acre.
I'm Hall county, Georgia. a farm
containing 65 acres was sold for $3.50.
A macadam road was built through
this farm and the owner was forthwith
offered $4,000 for it.
"In Hamblin county, Tennessee, a
farm near Morristown was sold for
Sc, 900 before good roads were built in
that county. Since the good roads
were built it has been sold for SIS, 900.

was sold for 500 before gravel road
was built. After the road was built it
was sold for $4,000.
"A good roads enthusiast in Penn
syIvania bought one thousand inches of
advertising in a local paper to tell his
neighbors why they should have good
roads. AS a result the township has
become one of the most notable in the
state in the matter of road improve
ment."

Observer says, are taken from the

 Confidence.

Among the business concerns in the city, none nave shown more en- ,terprise, or are entitled to a greater
 degree of consideration than uhe Ifirm of Mapes and Travers at 1O17 to EJ019 Malvrn avenue. They are deal CTS in and manufacturers of all kinds of furniture, and do expert work in upholseering. scrdening. rsefinishing and repairing. They also buy and sell new and second hand furniture. This is a new firm, but on account of superior work, prompt attention to busindss and general reliability, it is firmly establishing itself in the confidence of the public and for a new concern, is employing a most satisfactory degree of patronage. One of it's chief business mottos, is, Live and Let Live" and it's slogan, is hon. esty and fair dealing. Phone l792.
