To select a tract of farm lands
suitable for the colonization of four

in the city yesterday and viii spend
several days in Escambia and Bald

bic to the religious sect which desires
to come to Florida and engage in
farming.
Mr.. Bowman is associated with D.
E. Sherrick, former treasurer of In
diana, who may also come to the city
within the next ten days, as he is as
much interested in the lands and eli
mate of West Florida as Mr.. Bow
man. The latter expects before his
departure north to close for tract
in this section which will be sufficient
ly large for farms for five or six hun
dred families.
During the first portion of Febru-
airy Mr.. Bowman made trip to Pen
sacola in company with several of the
bishops of the German Dunkark col
ony of California, and these bishops
were highly pleased with the soil and
climate, and said they preferred West
Florida to California, where they are
engaged in farming on an extensive
scale. The same sect of Indiana also
desires to come south, and in the ne

ing the latter, although many of those
living in California viii move here.
The German Dunkarks are known
as the best farmers in the United
States. They dress something SINH

churches and are known as excellent
citizens. There are only three col
onies Of them in the United States
! and these colonies have grown Il
such an extent that it is necessary
to seek new lands. This is practically
impossible in California and Indiana
owing to the high price of lands.
Mr.. Bowman, who is well known Il

& Nashville railroad, is very mucl
pleased with the soil of West Florid'
and declares it is far better than tina

And that's what women, not only
