company, who stated that the COM
pany would erect a $1,000 building
on their lands and turn il over to
the denomination the minister rep
resented if the latter would have a
resident pastor provided. And why
all this generosity, and where are

was explained that the company de-
sired to spread pictures OF the church
broadcast over the country where
this religion was strongest. thus rep
rcscnting To the prospective home
seeker that there were hundreds of
people of their faith worshiping at
this church. They would therefore
be induced to yield up their coin for
first payment on tract, later
burning their bridges and coming to
their new home To find il far off the
beaten track and themselves prac-
tically buried. The proposition of

representation is doing Florida much
harm. The truth is good enough:
the lands are here, both good and

Florida people are scattered all
over the country from Maine to Cal
ifOrnia. This is not, as might be sup
posed by those unfamiliar with the
character of our summers, owing to
a desire to escape the weather at this
season. Rather, 1t is an evidence of
the prosperity which prevails gen.
orally among the people of the State,
enabling them to enjoy the pleasures
o. travel and the benefits which
change brings to the people of any
section. Another reason for the sum-
mer exodus is the cosmopolitan char
acter of FlOrida's population. Her
residents are from every State in the
Union, and nearly everybody has rel
atives and friends back home"
whom they naturally wish to visit.
No one who has spent one or more
summers i'm Florida would leave for
the north at this time of year If eli
mate were the only consideration.
