COTTON PLANT

Cotton Plant, Dec. 19.-This scribe
with a party of others motored to
Miami for the Methodist annual con-
ference and was gone two weeks,
hence the absence of any Cotton Plant
news.
We left here Monday morning, Dec,
3rd, went by way of Hawthorne and
Palatka to Daytona, where we spent
the night with an old friend, Mrs. A.
S. Harroun on Daytona Beach. Day
tona is a lovely city. From Palatka
we had a brick road to Daytona, and
after leaving there we had asphalt
all the way down the East Coast, and
with the excellent roads and beauti-
full scenery the drive was pleasant
one, long to be remembered. Espe-
cially was the drive along the Indian
river beautiful We reached West
Palm Beach Tuesday evening about
$3.50 and were guests there of Mr.. Joe
Bell and daughters, brother and
nieces of our L. C. Bell of Sparr. On
Wednesday morning we enjoyed with
this family a trip over the beautiful
little town of West Palm Beach,
Leaving for Miami about $3.50 we
made the trip in two hours and half,
stopping in Fort Lauderdale for a
few minutes. While there we saw
Mr.. Ivan Lanier, once resident of
Ocala and Marion county, also Mrs.
Lee Stapp, formerly resident of
Ocala.
While in Miami we were guests of
Mr.. and Mrs. J. A. Robbins and
daughter, brother-in-law and sister of
Mr.. A. w. Woodward. We were
shown every courtesy and were
guests on several auto trips around
the city. We went over to the beach
on the longest bridge in the world. 1t
was wonderful. A causeway is now
under construction across Biscayne
Bay to the beach, which when COM
pleted will do away with the long
wooden bridge.
Uncle Sam has a crew of aviators
stationed at Miami and any time you
looked up towards the heavens you
could see one or more of these grace
full air birds. While in the lovely
Magic City we saw several of our
old friends, some of whom we had
not thought of ever seeing again.
Mrs. J. NJ. Jackson and Mrs. Sue
Barcosw saw daily at church, also
Mrs. Lizzie Soar, formerly Miss Tur-
ney and sister of Mrs W. L. Col
bert of Ocala. We were guests at her
home one afternoon and shown thru
their nursery grounds. They are in
veritable wilderness of shrubs and
all kinds of palms, ferns, fruit trees
and everything that goes to make uI
a nursery. Webster is not in it wher
it comes to knowing and pronouncing
hard names. Mrs. Soar would give
us the scientific name Of everything
We didn't try to remember or pro
nounce them. If we should get oul
tongue twisted up to, say all those We
should never be able to straighten i
again. We thoroughly enjoyed tht
visit. / wanted the privilege of pick
ing a cocoanut and Miss Lizzie tolC
me I might, but they grew too tai
for me, so | didn't get to pick on'
Or even taste one. Another disap
pointment to me was the absence o.
avocado pears. They were killed ther'
last winter and were SCARCE this fal

It must be admitted that the health
and beauty of our women are il these
