A Famous Grapefruit Grove Has
Changed Hands

{ been located IN the DOrOthy cottage
| for several months, has purchased
the well known Hilton grapefruit
/ grove and will bend his energies to-
wards keeping it up to the high state
of cultivation and perfection at
/ which it has been maintained for so
many years. This grove is noted for
| the size and quality of its fruit, no
| grove in the state excelling it. The
| fruit has always commanded a prem
I ium over any of the similar products
of this section and also from the var
| iety of the trees which enables them
to carry their crop from one season
to another, which guarantees fruit to
| ship after all other groves have mar
keted their products. As late as last
week a solid carload of choice fruit
was shipped from this grove and
there is no doubt but what Mr.. Balh-
mon will maintain the grove to its
high state of perfection.

in an hour, consisting of minnows,
killies, perch, brim, polly-wogs and
tadpoles, some of them measuring
four inches in length and weighing
as high as three and four ounces, and
the children are having lots of sport
out of it. Minnie Tremere was so
enthused at her luck at fishing in
Lake Lillian that she was going
where she could catch some real fish,
so she advised Mrs. Hightower at
Heather Island that she did not know
where she was going but was on the
way and to look out for her about
Tuesday morning. So last Tuesday
morning with Goseefus in the little
red wagon and some fish poles ac-

started, and this is one time in her
life that she is going to catch some
real live fish.
