iH Kansas. TUe writer of that epi~tie, which takes up almost half aa-s af lis paper. should apoligize fot his shortcomings and look around d little. We are acquainted with him and believe from what he told Us at the time, about three months ago, that We happened to be one of his first acquaintances in Lakeland. Now he is drawing good money from one of our big concerns and industries here and acknowledges that this Is the place to make money, that labor is scarce. and that the climate iS fine Ina being the case, how do you sup pose his story and fault finding ana the bad conditions he expresses holds true? If we get the room we shall print his letter but as the paper was sent to us from one up wonder who evidently knew better. we cannot help but call the attention of the ed itor of the Nevada County Picayune to the errors and invite him t0 come To Florida and see for himself that besides flowers which DO BLOOM THE YEAR ROUND, Florida has eT- ervthng she has and q dozen other things. besides which are the great industries. and many of them help keep the world moving. We cal. his attention to the fact that we are q So.called Yankee but We are love with Florida we know it has faults. out at the same time. so has arkan- sas and every other place, and it StirS LIS up to find people will miSrepresent and tell of conditions on one side and refrain from giving the facts on the other on any question. l. l.. II, owS Lakeland and Polk county an apol- ogy and he also owes his editor let ter especially telling of the good things. since he enumerated about all the bad he can find and matched up lot of stuff in addition.
 We cannot help but refer to tar climate, which he casually mentions aud We call the attention ot his peo- pie and his editor to the fact that Florida always has a splendid breeze during the summer and this locality k q regular pleasure resort in com pariSon with Little Rock. Oklahoma rIty Topeka or Kansas City, which we note according tu yesterday > weather map show, a temperature around the leo mark IN THE SHADE. and we never have that in Florida And the winter cannot bc eNcclled, and we certainly recon mend this state to those of the North who question it's conditions, and would not change dozen Kansas. Arkansas or Oklahoma climates for one of Florida. and the winters are not to be compared The Lakeland Star.
