Calhoun county enjoys the distinc-
ton of being the site of the first rail-
road constructed in the state of Flor
ida, the line running from lola, on the
Apa1achicola river to st. Joe, at pres
ent Calhoun county's only seaport.
Sixty or seventy years ago a large
amount of traffic originated at river
points, principally cotton, and the road
was constructed in order to furnish an
outlet to deep water at the Gulf. In
those days ST. Joe was an important
town, one Of the largest in the state
of Florida, and 1t was here that the
first constitution of the state Of Flor
ida was drafted. The railroads line
was in operation for a number of years
and the old grade. with some of the
cross ties, Is still in evidence, the
grade now being used for a public
highway. The ST. Joe of early days
was abandoned many years before the
civil war and until the advent of the
Apala chicola Northern Railroad there

Thirty Thousand Gallons of

piled to the manufacture OF Ponce de

acre place about seven miles east Of
Altha. in Calhoun county, Florida, and
the product is fast nearing it's proper
place as one of the staple household
necessities. For years Florida has
been noted for the high grade Of its
syrup. but until recent years the meth
DDS of manufacture have been some
what crude-not at all in keeping with
the demands OF modern civilization
from the standpoint of sanitation For
years the Florida cane syrup product
was boiled in an open kettle under a
shed in the back yard, and while the
result was toothsome production, the
less said OF it from sanitary stand
point the better During the past few
years a number of modern plants for
extracting the juice from the cane and
its manufacture into syrup have been
established, but none is more complete
than the big plant of the Leonard
Brothers, completed about a year ago
and which, last season, turned out over
thirty thousand gallons of syrup. every
gallon Of it of the highest standard of
excellence.
