Pleased With Florida.
Mr.. George Sparrow returned 10 ms
home in Glover this morning, aller d
visit to his brother, Mr.. Thomas spar
row, who lives near Barlow, Fla. MI.
Sparrow expresses himself as peihs
we'll pleased with the Cracker country
and thinks that in some respects tne
country is ahead Of York county. "a
speaking of the country, Mr.. Sparro"
said that one thing that impressed MIN
was that Florida roads were FAR su-
perior to those of York county. Tine
people Of the country, he SAID, peheVe
in good roads above everything else.
Farming lands bring anywhere from
SIS up. A man who owns fifteen OF
twenty acres Of land in the viclnlty
of Barlow is considered in good shape.
The people are engaged wholly In
truck farming-the cultivation OF
now they are preparing the SOIL LOT
their second crop Of the season. you
don't see any fine residences like you
see in the country in York county,
said Mr.. Sparrow. "A two or three
room house is considered about the
best in the country. When 1t comes
to seven Oh eight room dwellings they
are not there. Many OF these FLORIDA
farmers have been hit pretty hard by
the war. Prices have not been so good
as usual since the European wal and
really the people are not in any better
shape just now than those of York
county. Prospects seem to be better
now and farmers are expecting great
things Of their next crop. Mr.. Sparrow
said that he was much struck with
the appearance of Barlow. a beautiful
little city Of some $500 inhabitants
The town is beautifully laid off and
has the very latest in municipal gov
eminent. Mr.. Sparrow's brother, Mr..
Tom Sparrow, who is a native Of the
Bethany section, has been a resident
Of Florida for several years. Mr.. Geo.
Sparrow said he was advised before
he left Sunday to shake the Florida
sand out of his Shoes, because it was
a Florida legend that whatsoever
should carry Florida sand away would
surely come back. From the way Mr..
Sparrow talked, it was evident that
