i Woodrow, May 10-Rain, Rain,
Rain ! we have had it and the
good results are showing up every
where. The homestead Sc C t j o n
had begun to suffer and although
the small rainfall ism t half enough
yet it again encourages the truck
ers, and stuff continues to come in
to the local packing house. The
manager is having trouble with
tomatoes being too large but we
can't keep our soil from making
things grow. Some were Shipued
this week carrying only As to the
standard crate.
Miss McSpadden, who has held
position as instructor in the Es-
tero high school the past session,

A good looking team belonging

the Woodrow Sunday school meet
ing last Sunday headed for Elite
Landing located near McSpad-
den s at about Ills clock. The
distance is only one mile. The
driver seems to have lost his way

Shell Creek, May 10 have.
been away part the time lately,
and have consequently had no
news to send in.
Things look fourishing in this
little citrus belt, as we have fine
crop of fruit coming on, and if we
have good seasons shipments will
be heavy coming fall and winter.
Melon and vegetable crops are
showing up nicely, and it looks as
if this section will be in line with
other parts in all agricultural and
fruit growing lines.
Our Myrtle creek neighbors are
increasing in numbers all the time,
and we look for this upper Shell
creek section to settle up soon, for
there's good land that if handled
right will produce good results.
Mr. Washington has quite an
uproar in, the upper part of the
settlement-watch him and you
will see something doing. think
he is going at things right to
make what we are all trying to
make-money.
We hope to have rural free de
livery of mails out this way soon.
1t will connect with all settlers,
bringing them in closer touch
with the rest OF the world.

Washington, Mrs. Washington and
two daughters were recent WISH

the big celebration.
Ben Boykin is staying out on
the creek now and he has the
name of being the best cabbage
palm tree climber in the settle
ment. I'll bet though that he
can't climb the greasy pole that
so many boys tried in Arcadia
the other day. Ben can't come
down cabbage palm as fast as
he can go up it.-SCRIBO.

80 p. m. nothing had yet been
seen of this team and Mr.. Driver
at the Landing, where friends i'm
patiently awaited said driver to
join them on a speed boat up
Orange river. We are wondering
what route that team could have
gone.
The amount of truck is so far
ahead of what we expected that
we are simply kept too busy, early
and late, to talk even the Wood
row annual May picnic and same
has been postponed again, we are
sorry to say, but better late than
never. The chickens are growing
larger all the time, however, so
let's keep happy until the time
comes.
The underground trough irri-
eating system installed by one of
our hustling truckers of this sec
ton, 0. M. Dawson, is proving
gold mine to him now, his truck
never failing at all during the I'M
usual dry spell, when other crops
really on much richer soil, have
almost been ruined. We con-
graduate Mr.. Dawson on solving
the proposition, for he also has
truck land splendidly drained in
case too much rain should come.
Mr.. c. A. Sercomb, who recent
ly made some very difficult look
ing stumps and trees move their
resting place with his hand-power
stump puller, is in Tampa this
week on business and securing a
minor part to his stump puller
which was broken recently. He
invited the neighborhood to visit
his place at any time and work
the puller or see it work.
Messrs. Holton and Male of

wards.
The Misses McSpadden also
spent Sunday afternoon at the hos
pitable home of the Dawson IS
with Misses Dawson, both of
whom are now home for the sum-
mer.

The best of my hayward nature lies low

One star when the sky was darkened

A star that will shine no longer, plank

And the ship may sail on forever, but a

But those dear old eyes that watched me

Silent and lonely always, / know what

But in the unseen future, what Is in store
