The Live Oak, Perry & Gulf railroad
, popularity known as the "Suwannee
! River Route" traverses one of the
richest, most productive and healthi-
| est sections of Florida, starting at
l Live Oak and continuing westerly
5 through Bowling Park, Perry and
:. Hampton Springs, to point near the
Gulf of Mexico, with branch to AL
5 ton. Live Oak is one of the best little
business cities in Florida, with pop
ulation of about 5000, is 10 miles
west of Jacksonville and about Is
miles south of the Georgia state line,
t is junction point for the Seaboard
{. Air line, the Atlantic Coast line, the
Live Oak, Perry & Gulf and the Flor
ida railway and is the county seat for
SuWannee county.
: The section of Florida served by the
Live Oak, Perry & Gulf railroad is the
heaviest timbered section of the state,
and numbering and allied industries
are being developed in big way in
the several rapidly growing towns
along it's line. This means unusually
good openings for all classes. These
heavily timbered lands are also.
natura.4y, the richest agricultural
lands, and it is these lands that the
railroad desires to settle with good
hard working, progressive people as
fast as the lands are released by the
operations of the big lumber milling
companies.
Suwannee county, lying as it does De-
tween the Atlantic ocean and the Gulf
of Mexico, with the never failing cool
summer breezes from east to west, has
climate as cool in summer as in the
north and yet ideally perfect in win
ter, and with ample fall for drainage
and an abundance Of pure drinking
water, Suwannee county is an espec-
tally healthy spot. A rainfall of over
so inches per annum makes crops as
| certain as possible
For the purpose of. encouraging set
tiers to Immediately occupy and culti-
vate all the unoccupied lands in Su
wannee county and thereby materially
increasing the tonnage and earnings
of our railroad, we have succeeded in
| inducing the several big lumber COM
panies on our lire, who are owners
timber land, to let us have $4,000
acres of the best agricultural lands
| in SuWannee county, to be put on
the market to actual settlers. We
absolutely exclude spectators who
wish to buy more than 800 acres, while
to the actual settlers we offer land
practically regardless of prices or
terms In fact, on ridiculously easy
conditions to reliable people, we will
furnish from 40 to 100 acres absolute
]y free of one dollars cost, on plan
much easier than land ever could
have been obtained even under the
government homestead law. And, it
will be remembered that millions OF
acres that were first acquired from
the government without cost are now
| worth from $4,000 to 100000 per acre.
The owners of these Suwannee county
lands have consented to our opening
them for immediate settlement on
our heretofore unheard of liberal
terms and conditions, only because
they know such settlement will great
ly enhance the value of the quarter
of million acres they have yet to
put on the market.
Just imaglne-these lands are 10.
Gated right along our line of railroad:
some adjoining townsites, some not
far from our local metropolis, Live
Oak, and none of them more than
four miles from railway service; close
to good school, churches, markets,
neighbors and only about three hours
ride to the great city of Jacksonville.
with its seaport markets to the world.
These are the best lands in the state

velvet beans, cassava, peanuts, pO-
tables of all kinds, fruits, nuts, cat
tie, hogs, mules and horses; while
the conditions for poultry raising, bee
keeping and dairying are ideal. We
hope within another two years to see
Suwannee county well settled and all
under cultivation-a veritable' garden
spot-and lands selling at $4,000 per
acre and upwards. But, for the pres
ent, our railroad needs more settlers
and more tonnage; therefore, prices
and terms on these lands are no OBJ
ject. In short, if you can convince us
that you are capable of farming from
40 to 800 acres and that you could, IL
necessary, come to Florida with q
cash working capital of $4,000 or
over, preferably 100000 or more, you
can on the easiest conditions imagin-
able secure through us, without one
dollars cost farm of from 40 to 100
acres under warranty deed to farm,
hold, sell or do with as you wish.
If Interested, we would be glad to
tell you all about this country, our
plans, the opportunities here for mon
ey making and especially the condi-
tons by which you may have one of
these farms free of cost. To learn all
about it, write on a post card or in a
letter, simply Mail me particulars"
