Letter From Florida
Winterhaven, Florida
Morob 81 1917

March 81, 1917
Editor of Highland Recorder,
Monterey, Va,
Dear Sir:--I have often
thought of sending a few jottings
to your paper, that through this
medium I might get in touch with
some of my frinds of former years
as we'll as my many relatives now
living in Highland and adjoining
counties. Believing that my views
as regards this State would ap-
peal to them. | thus write.
have in former years visited
some of the larger towns of the
State, viz Jacksonville St. Aug.
usEine, Pensacola, Tallahassee,
Datona and minor towns, none of
of which appeal to me so favoraly
as Winterhaven, which seems to
me would be a grand place for
people of declining years. This
section abounds in lakes of pure
fresh water, clear as crystal, al
most transparent. There is one
hundred of these lakes within a
radius of five miles, 20 of which
are connected by canals. They are
essential to the production of
citrous fruit, and all manner of
vegetation. l feel safe in saying
there are over one million orange
aud grape fruit trees within the
above boundary of five miles, all
in full bearing.
The whole earth is one scene of
living green, diversified with golden
fruit. This is beautiful town of
$500 inhabitants, chiefly settled
and built by northern people The
climate is ideal and very healthy,
it being the highest altitude in the
State. We read of those storms
so prevalent in the Worthwhile
the weather is as balmy as sum-
mer. We have not been in need Of
fire to keep US warm during the
entire winter. They are now pack
ing and shipping fruit from this
place at the rate of Is cars per day
This is the chief industry of the
State. Now, in conclusion, will
say that neither time nor distance
can eradicate from memory the
thoughts of wy native home and
friends, many of whom have not
seen for more than 40 years. | would
be pleased to hear from them if
still living. My address after the
10 of April will be P. L. Curry,
Ashtabula, Ohio, Rt 4.
Mrs, w. ?. Rexrode, Of Strait
Creek, received message announc'
ing the recent death of her brother
in-law, Mr.. James Rymer, neal
Ellenborc, W. Va.
Mr.. Rymer was former High
lander, moving to West Virginia
about 60 years ago, and will be re-
membered by some of the Older
citizens He has q number Of
relatives in the county. Although
he had passed his fourscore wears
his death was quite shock as nc
account CT his sickness came be-
fore.

Palestine Ohio
April 3, 1917


After a long silence | will come
again, with some rainy weather,
winter having released its grasp on
us for a season or two, closing
about the twentieth of March.
Ohio witnessed but one day of
rain and sleet; this storm wrestled
mostly with the cherry trees in this
section of the country.
Flowing has been the rush of the
day since winter closed. Some of
the farmers are blowing with trac-
tors, others with as many teams as
they can get.
I will endeavor to give few of
the ways we till our soil.
First we do all the fall blowing
possible and then in the following
spring we take our discs and cut it
up as much as possible. Next fol-
lows the harrow, either spring or
spike tooth. Still we have another
time to work the soil. by the time
it is narrowed it is very we'll broken
up but we take a drag (clod crush
err and go over the ground to pull
yerlze the soil. Now the soil is
very finely worked up and ready
for the crops to be put on, but if a
rain should happen to come and
cause crust of any thickness the
farmers will get the disc, harrow
and drag and work it all over
again, as they firmly believe in a
we'll pulverized soil. Some of the
people may wonder what about the
stones; we'll, we haven't as many
of them as we need, so they are
no trouble to us whatever.
Mr.. Editor, I applaud the idea
of more men educated for farmers
and not so many other men idle or
seeking office jobs, as farming will
never 90 out of style and there is
plenty of room for all.
The next time will try and give
you the ways in which we raise the
crops
Geo. S. Fisher made a trip to
Palestine yesterday, also Anna
Fisher with over a crate of eggs
which they say they gathered IN
about two weeks.
Mr.. Hershel LETTERS sold a hog
that brought by weight $685..
Harlie Fisher made a hurried
trip to Union City yesterday for
clover seed.
Howard Rexrode has hired to
Herschel LETTERS and drives his
mules as they are used about as
much as horses in this county.
T. W. Rexrode has purchased a
fine lot of brood sows, and says he
is going into the hog business right
away. We wish him much success.
Harry Fisher has purchased a
team of horses for farming.
Chas. Fisher remains in Akron,
Ohio, working for the Good Year
Rubber Co.
I am glad to see that Highland
leads in the production of live
stock. | am also glad to notice
the generosity of the Highland
people in offering to divide up with
their other county neighbors. =.

cut from the Dayton Daily News.

Grubbs came to Darke county
few years ago from Virginia and
settled on farm west of this city
on the Winchester pike. Last sea-
son he raised quite a lot of potatoes
and reserved about thirty bushels
for seed. Local dealers offered hin
as high as So 90 per bushel for them
but he refused. Instead he divid-
ed them among his neighbors who
were not so fortunate. All he ask:
is that in the fall when they dig
their potatoes that they return hin
bushel for bushel. Darke county
is proud of Mr.. Grubbs and Woult
like to have more citizens like him

FOR ANOTHER.

An old man, going long highway,
Came, at the evening, cold and gray,
To chasm, vast and deep and wide.
The old man crossed in the twilight
dim
The sullen stream had no fear for him.
But he turned, when safe on the other
side,
And builded a bridge to span the tide.
"Old man," said fellow.pilgrim near,
"You are wasting your time with build
ing here;
Your journey will end with the break
Of day;
You never again will pass this way.
You have crossed the chasm, deep and
and wide
Why build this bridge at eventide?"
The builder lifted his old, gray head
Good friend, in the path come" he
said,
"There followeth after me today
A Youth whose feet must pass this way.
This chasm, that's been naught to me,
To this fair-haired Youth may a pit
fall be.
He, too, must cross in twilight dim
Good friend, 1 am building this bridge
for him." Anonymous.

Character and Reputation.

There Is a broad distinction between
character and reputation, for one may
be destroyed by SANDER, while the
other can never be harmed save by Its
possessor. Reputation is In no mans
keeping. You and I cannot determine
what other men shall think and say
about us. We can only determine
what they ought to think Of Us and
say about US, and we can only do this
by acting sQuarely up to our own con-
victions.--Holland.
