showing the Lake housewives were
on the job. There was but little meat,
but what there was was of fine quail
ity. There was only little corn, but
it must be remembered that Lake
took state prize, and made an ex-
hibit at our fair from an 1O6-busheI
to the acre plot.
The stock exhibit was small. We
saw no cattle, tho the empty pens
may have been filled later. There
were few fine hogs. The poultry ex-
hibit was small but good.
The colored people had a building

wares. The first was made about thir-
ty years ago, when we dropped off a
F. R. & N. freight train in the mid.
die of November night and judged
by the multiplicity of railroad tracks
and headlights that we had hit a
town about the size of Waycross.
Next morning, when we could see
it, it shrunk up right smart. But it
was rather live little burg. 1t was
the terminal of more railroads than
any other town in Florida. It was
the southern terminus of the F. r. &
N and northern of the Tavares, Or
lando and Atlantic (both now the
Seaboard), and the northern terminus
|of the Tavares q Gulf. BY reason
of that Chinese puzzle, the st. Johns
and Eustis railroad, it connected with
the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West on one side and the Florida
Southern on the other. Florida had a
whole lot of independent railroads
just then, and the names of some of
them were as long as clothesline.
Tavares had four story opera
house, the most pretentious one In
the state, and a waterfront lined
with sailboats. And for breakfast
that morning we paid only rs cents
for all the biscuit, fried fish and cof-
fee we could surround.
st, Clair Abrams was in the hey
day of his glory then. He was trying
to make Tayares the railroad center
and capital of the state. 1t is a much
better location for the state capital
than the one we now have, and If
South Florida ever has sense enough
to flock off by herself, the claims of
old. Tav for the statehouse should be
considered
We left the fair grounds and tried
to figure out the locations of thirty
years past. About the only things we
could locate were the railroad tracks,
the two dingy stations of the Sea-
board and Coast Line and the ruins

of the opera house. A good deal of
the town we had held in memory had
been wiped off the map by fire twen-
ty or more years ago. There was not

line cruiser lay alongside the club
house, and few rowboats were
moored on the waterfront.

beautiful lakes. There are a number
of solid and conveniently constructed

brick, and many handsome homes. II
has one of the best courthouses in
the state, and is backed up by good
farming country.
Our second visit to Tavares was
made in company with Mr.. r. w
Blackjack, his wife and daughter
Bernice and DIR. Fl. F. Walker. Mr.
Blackjack is our county demonstra.
ton agent, an energetic and well
posted young man, worth his salary
several times over to the county
Miss Bernice is five years old, fan
and frisky, as fresh as a rosebud
and busy as bee. She already has
several beaux, of whom we are the
latest-the too-latest. DIR. Walker is
connected with the bureau of animal
industry of the agricultural depart:
ment and is very clever young man
We made the trip in Blackjack
whizzcart. Blackjack thinks an auto
is intended to go somewhere in and
acts accordingly. He makes that fiiy-
yer fiv, and after Keeling off twelve
miles in twenty-three minutes apollo
gized for going so slow, saying that
he had to be careful when his family
was along.
We made the fifty miles to Tavares
in less than two hours, including
about ten minutes stop at Leesburg
The Marion county road was solid
but rather rough and holy. When we
crossed the Lake county line and hit
that broad, smooth, hardclay road
Blackjack stepped on the gas and we
heard the Ford laugh. That surely is
one peach of a road, and it runs thru
a pretty country, too, all the way to
Tavares.
We stopped a few minutes in Lees
burg to drink some saltwater and
see the Commercial. Gilbert Leach
was out of town-they said he had
gone to Ocala. We remembered see
ing an icecart Wabbling along north,
ward on the way down, but passed it
too fast to see who was in it, but it
might have been Leach. But Bart
Corley was Insane good old Bart,

We're wearing their own teeth, tho,
so there was no accident. Getting
back on the road, we soon reached
Ocala, making the .fifty-mile trip in

Our only regret for the trip was
not being able to go on Friday instead
of Tuesday. We were told that most
of the 1000 school children would be
present on that day, and they would
have been the best exhibit of all.
