W. B. LEATHERWOOD, Marshal and Tax Collector

now we drive up a very narrow
street and halt at the oldest house
in America, the Whitney house,
built by Don De Toledo in 1916.
We knock for admission, 25c. In
the room is a mahogany roll top
desk over 400 years old. 1t is
put together with pegs and is a
fine piece of mechanical skill. A
violin ESQ years old is here. A
jaw bone and a head hone of a
whale make a very comfortable
seat, with the aid of two cushions.
The plasteting overhead has be-
gun to fall and the walls are
cracked all the way up. The
house is two story and the doors
are made of mahogany wood.
Now we come to the most inter-
esting part of the old house-the
old Spanish bank. This was not
found until 1906 when the plaster
began to give away. A small
hole was discovered on the inside
about five feet above the floor, ov-
er the fire place. On punching
around in this place a Spanish
doubloon rolled out. 1t was made
in the pear 1891 and sold for
$50 90 of our money. The only
way to get into the bank was to
stand up in the fire place and
reach into the hole or pocket in
the wall. They deposited their
money in this bank which was
made when the house was built.
Rather an old fogy idea of bank
ing, yet it beat by far the Tisho-
mingo Banking System. You see

St Augustine, Fla.

Perhaps some of the readers of
the Vidette would like to read a
letter from this part Of Florida.
I will try, in my feeble way, to
explain few of the interesting
things which | have seen in this
historic city. | have always want
ed to see this place and Ion Satur-
day the 10th l got off the train
here, hired carriage and driver
to show me the city and points OF
interest, which took about three
and one half hours. First we
came to the famous Almeda group
of hotels with Ponce De Leon in
front. This hotel is named for
the discoverer of Florida, who
landed here on Easter Sunday,
1912. The hotel is of Spanish
architecture, built of shell concrete
and accommodates one thousand
quests. 1t covers nearly five
acres. The grounds about this
place are almos. a paradise. It.
does not look as if anything could
be added that would be more
beautiful or pleasing to the eye.
in fact there are more pretty parks
here than amy place have ever,
visited. Next we came to the old
Spanish cathedral, built in 1852.
It is the oldest in tina U S. ] went
inside for about 10 minutes. 1T
is nicely furnished. Next we
came to the old city gate built in
1743 of shell concrete. The city
was once walled in but nothing
now remains except the gates.
Now we come to the old Spanish
Fort Marion. From t tt.t watch
tower of this old fort one can see
the white caps rolling in the At
1antic. The walls are five feet
thick and made of shell. saw
two old cannons here that were
almost eaten up with rust. They
must have been :among the first
made. This has once been a
prison and the awful dungeons
are still to be seen. Two Semi
mole chiefs we're kept here seven
years, then escaped. So much
for the old fort; it has seen its
best days although it is yet in
pretty good state of preservation.
Next we come to the Fountain of
Youth; a glass of Lwatef, S cents.
This is the best water have found
here. Nearly all the water here
is sulphur water but this is not.
This place was found by Ponce
De Leon. The old Roman cross
is here and also the big egg near
by showing the Indians the way
out by water. Next we come to
the old Spanish Slave Market,
long shed substantially built in
very fine park. Near one end is
stone, the auctioneers stand,
through which comes a pipe with
a bubbling foutain. By STOPPING
lust a little the sulphur water will
boil up in your mouth. In front
of this is the slave block, made of
boards, foot high and about s K
6, from which the slaves were sold
in olden time. A few mounted
guns are here; also lots of shells
and a couple of monuments And
