Fourth. The spacious porches
were gaily and artistically decorat-

National colors, and "Old Glory"
waved proudly from a flagstaff on
the beautiful lawn to greet the
approaching guests.
These, to the number of about
forty, some from the neighbor-

ranged in age from our snowy

At the conclusion of this most
important part of the days pro-

INDUCED in, patriotic songs were
sung, and the Younger members
of the party engaged in an excit-

matter of talk. The publication
of the notice of incorporation by
the gentlemen promoting the pro-
ject speaks with greater force than
any other step yet taken. While
Charlotte Harbor will not be a
terminus as was at first believed
yet it will be the principal town on
the branch from the main line to
the gulf, and its freight and pass
enger service will be large on ac-
count of its proximity to Punta
Gorda. And passengers and
freight for Punta Gorda will not
meet with delay, as the owner of
the car ferry has completed ar
rangements for taking immediate
care of all that may arrive.
The main line of the road, which
by the way, is called The Tampa,
Charlotte Harbor and East Coast
Railroad Company, passes through
a section of country different from
that which was first mapped out.
The road begins at or near the
city of Tampa, in Hillsborough
county, extending thence through
the county of Polk or Manatee.
and through the counties of De-
Soto and Lee and through the
county of Palm Beach or st. Lucie
to some point on the east coast of
