come to relieve meT" Instantly Death
slipped up and said, Here I am, what
do you want of me?" 81 want you to
help me put this bundle of sticks on

ourselves. Then flee from discomfort

hotbeds Of deceit. Near them we think
that which is not true. and say that
which we do not mean.-Exchange.

Smallest Farms In the World.

are carefully planted with q variety
OF crops, even including vineyards. The

Lakeland, Fla, July 23, 1918. Editor Nevada County Picayune, .
 Prescott, Ark.
 Ny dear friend, Andrews Now, that l have been In Florida long enough to write intenigenly, l will try to give you the facts concerning this state as nearly as may be, and l shall certainly state the bad as well as the good. l will begin by sayng that l like Florida because of it's climate and because I have a good position and am making money here My bank account is steadily growing month by month. and this of course, would please almost any one, but, to me. there is no place like Arkansas.
 Lakeland is the most elevated point in Florida, being 2S7 feet above sea level. while Plant City, which is only ten miles from here, is but 134 feet above, and it is claimed to be the healthiest town in the state, and is also the freest from mosquitoes and other insects If so. God pity the in habitants of the other towns. Lake land is a beautiful town about twice the size of Prescott IL is surrounded by numerous large lakes, from which fact it derived its name The largest of these is Lake Parker, which is from to 6 miles wide and 15 miles long. Lakeland has good citizenship. So also, has Plant City, Bartow, Mnlber- " and the surrounding country.
 There are the NcRae's. the TOmp- kins', the McDaniel's, the Andrews the Powell's, the Coxe's, the Blake lys, the Pittman's, the Weeks, the Chappel's, the Scott's the MOore's, the Dukes, the HamltOn's, the Cal houns the Haynie's, the Martins, the NcKenzie's, the Hamby's, the Tomlin- sons, the Hale's the Siiyey's, the Bos- wells, the Picka rl's. the Munn's, the Mays, the Whitten's, the Bailey's, the Dea tons, the COrlels, the Benson's the Gullick's the Smarts, the Rus sells, the Barham's, the Cummings, the BentOn's, the CrOuche's, the Greer's, the Hatfields the Hodnetts, (yes even the HOdRetts,) and ever so many more that l can't name just now, the most of whom are substan- tial citizens of the towns l have men tiOnet, and of the surrounding cOun- try. All of these are very familiar names to me and when I hear them spoken, or see them in print, l some times have to think twice to remem- ber that l am n Florida and not in Nevada County Arkansas.
 Now from financial standpoint, have no reason for complaint for am doing fairly well here, but these internal mosquitoes these pestiferous sand gnats; these terrifying stinga' ma rees. One crawled across the back of my neck yesterday and it has moi stopped hurting yet, although l have used at least a fifth of q box of Arni' ca Salye and half of four ounce bot tie of camphOr on it. The gnats give way in Arkansas in May, but here they seemingly last all the year. But tkes Hesauit0es and Gsilinippers Wre the ~srs apesss. sithOaeh these infer nal stinaanrees are nore seveFc. ]
