HE TALKS FLORIDA TO
NUMBER OF TENNEssEEANs
Callahan Gives Many Reasons Why
North Florida Is the
Best.

Jacksonville.-Frank D. Fuller Of
Callahan is up in Tennessee talking
Florida in general and Callahan in par.
ticular, and he is getting some OF the
advantages Of this state and commun.
ity strictly before the people of that
In the Nashville, Tennesseean Mr..
Fuller says:
"The people that have been going
to Florida in the past have gone as
far south as possible on account Of
the extensive advertising Of southern
Florida, not realizing they were riding
over the best land in the state, neither
did they stopsto realize that they must
pay an exorbitant freight rate get
their products from South Florida to
seaport having competitive water
rates. If they had stopped at Gala
han they could have grown any OF
the crops raised in South Florida and
have cotton yield equal to eny Of
that sectionfi and saved the excess
freight which would have been a good
profit on their crops.
"The Callahan district is especially
adapted to growing Irish potatoes
The yield is much better per acre. and
earlier than in many sections further
south on account Of good drainage and
clay sub-soil. The potatoes are ready
for the market In March or April,
and bring fancy prices.
Sweet potatoes, Tomatoes, onions.
beans, cucumbers, lettuce and every
vegetable grown. Strawberries and all
other berries and fruits Of every name
and nature, except apples, can be pro.
duced In the Callahan district. and
good prices are available 1t is not
necessary to ship anything to the
markets and wait for your money, as
the buyers are either at Callahan or
Jacksonville at all times that will paw
top prices.
Three hundred and sixty-fve days
growing season means much more to
the Callahan farmer--or at least his
income is much greater than farmer
living where he can only grow crops
six months Of the year.
Low water freight rates should in.
duce many manufacturers to investi.
gate Callahan with view of locating
furniture, barrel and crate factories
there at once.
Some sections OF the United States
have gained great notoriety from their
canning industries. No place in the
Union is better adapted for canneries
than Callahan
"The brick industry is the only one
that has received any attention. Cal.
lahan is called the Brick City"

amount of insurance.

FLIGHT of a Great NebuIa,

TRYING TO BREAK HUERTA
GENERAL VILLA is NOW MAKING
READY FOR AN ATTACK ON
CHIHUAHUA CITY.
Spanish Residents Appeal to the
American Consul for Protection
for Lives and Property.

Ell Paso, Texas.-Rebel scouts re-
ported to General Francisco Villa at
Juarez that they had sighted the Fed
eral 0utposts at Villa Ahumada, "a
miles south OF Juarez. The presence
of the Federal forces at Villa Ahumada

as the rebel officers do not know def
nitely whether they are the troops
which retreated from TERRA Blanca
after their defeat or are reinforce
ments from Chihuahua, again moving
north to engage Villa.
81 will leave to attack Chihuahua
just as soon as l can get my trains
loaded with provisions and troops"
said General Villa at Juarez.
General Villa will hold review and
parade of his troops in celebration Of
the victory over the Federals at TERRA
Blanca. After the parade the troops
will make immediate preparations for
leaving for the south.
Thousands of dollars worth of pro-
visions were transferred from Ell Paso
to Juarez to be loaded on Villas
trains.
Villa expects to have at least 49,
900 men when he attacks Chihuahua.
He said he had sent word for Gen.
Thomas Urbina to bring 5000 men
north from Torreon district, and that
Gen. Manuel Choa is now in the vi
cinity of chihuahua with 1000 rebel
troops. Villa will take 1000 soldiers
from Juarez, leaving garrison of
about one hundred men to protect the
city.
