his appealing touch. OF the pieces

much information of value, especially
after an evening spent with Engineer
J. P. Hunter.
Mr.. Hunter says that the Flora
home muck lands are we'll elevated
and healthy, and that he believes will
be worth 500 per acre within two
years after the canals have been clear
ed out. He sees nothing to prevent
n prosperous town from springing up
in a short time, and says that if he
had money he knew of no moro prom
ising place to invest it than in Flora
home.
This statement coming from man
who has made q thorough survey of
the place, been engaged in Everglades
and other places of like character and
consequently a judge Of muck lands,
caused Mr.. Brakeman to be more than
ever enthused over the future pros
poets of the Florahome section and
his purchase of lands there.

where corn will soon be yielding so
bushels to the acre and spotted pigs
will weigh 400 pounds EACH"
