Red Oak Grove.

The B. Y. P. U. had an interesting
meeting last Sunday under leader
ship of Miss Mamie Bussey. She in
vited Messrs Johnnie Bussey and T.
w. Lamb to speak on the work.
The meetings will be held at Flat

noon before Sunday school hour.
This is a splendid work and branch
of our church work, so help in devel-
oping our young people.
The box party at Red Oak Grove
school house which was mentioned
last week will come off Friday even
ing, the 18th. Much interest is being
manifested among the younger set,
which will bring goodly proceeds for
the benefit of the school, and at the
same time amusement and pleasure
for all who will attend.
The weather is fine now. After
having a week of warm and rainy
weather, makes US appreciate the
lovely sunshine, with the real winter,
snappy air.
The Bible class at Flat Rock had
such an interesting geographical ex-
planation of the Sunday school les

M. Bussey last Sunday. There was a
large number present, among them
some visitors, all seemed to enjoy the
lecture exceedingly. Mr.. Bussey has
made map of these studies to some
extent and has consented to use them
as they will connect the future les
sons. The class has caught the idea
and is looking forward to the work in
the future with joyous anticipation,

Hardys Correspondent Writes
- From Augusta.

Dear Advertiser:
IsxI read each week the paper
through, but do not find any dots
from Hardys or Sweetwater commu-
Rities. Why don't some one from -
lin that section give those in other
sections some idea of what is going
on? Even the Thanksgiving box par
tyEof. the Sweetwater school was not
written up by any one down there.
IL was not mentioned by Mr.. Tom
ssdams of Golfers.
[I did not see an announcement f
Nc. Frank Townes' marriage until in

announcement of Mr.. F. A. Townes

1--WE, have not lost interest in the
people up there if we are out of the

Wisnld- give the news.
We are glad to hear the road was
grsded and a bridge built across
Foxes Creek from Mr.. Tom Nc
KI@'s spring through Mr.. Cook Nc
Kie's and Mr.. Hamilton Phinizy's

up2to Mrs. Harrison's upper gate. I
understand the road was finished
just before the rains, so has been
badly c,lt up already. But we hope
they will smooth off ard be good af-

We could see the Hamburg low

Miss Florence Minis Writes
From Boston.
Dear Advertiser:

Dear Advertiser: ~
I had been planning for long
time to go out to Holliston, Mass,
to see Miss Gertrude /. Lake, who is
supposedly related to the Edgefeld
Lake family. I arrived about mid
day in this quaint little New England
town and after much inquiry found
where Miss Lake lived. On seeing the
name DR.. Lake on brass knob out
side the door, 1 could hardly wait to
get in to the dear lady herself.
Then we talked Edgefeld and an
cestry for several hours Most of the
information came from her, to be
sure. She showed me the Lake coat
of-arms which was Sir Edward
Lake, knight in the time of Charles
II, sitting on charger bearing a
sword aloft in one arm with the reins
of the horse in his teeth and the
other arm hanging helpless at his
side. The knight received sixteen
wounds, but lived until the middle of
the seventeenth century.
The house was filled with quaint
old furniture. On the parlor walls
were two hand painted pictures with
the name Eliza Minis, in the corner
of each. That made me feel so good.
There is nothing quite like the old
fashioned village street bordered
with huge elms with a sort of grey
mist over the landscape, and pri1n,
stiff -starched looking white New
England houses with green blinds.
The doorways, in fact, are quite IA
nous with the fan shaped glass
above and moastrous brass knock
er that must reverberate through
the house.
1 am sure that the families must
have been the same for the heroism
of her forefather in the time of the
Revolution and before can only be
at u. hv the same stirring fight

FLORIDA LETTER
Mr.. j. B. Adams Writes of
His Delightful Trip to 4
Florida, "The Land
Of Flowers" /
Dear Advertiser:

Dear Advertiser:
Capt. 7. w. Getzin, of Ft. White,
Fla, after visiting his daughter,
DR.. J. B. Adams wife at Plum
Branch, S. g., asked my wife and
me to go home with him to Florida.
We started op the 18th of October,
and reached his home about noon
the next dag. He has lovely
country home, with all modern con-
veniences, within short distance of
town. His up-to.date farm consists
of 1900 acres of as fine land as ]
ever saw, except the muck land,
which I saw in South Florida.
Land makes eighteen to twenty-five
bushels of corn, fifty to seventy.fve
bushels of peanuts, one hundred
and fifty gallons of syrup and will
make about three hundred pounds
of lint cotton per acre without fer
tilizer. Very little cotton is plant
ed, as the boil weavil is here in full
force. Farmers make, or save, about
one and a half bales of cotton to the
horse.
Hogs, cows and peanuts are the
money crops. From three to five
car loads of hogs are being shipped
from this place each week. Three
weeks ago the large, fat hogs were
bringing ten cents, the smaller ones
twelve cents for hotel use.
Every ore makes plenty Of corn.
1t is selling here now for one dollar
per bushel. Syrup for one dollar
per gallon.
z Besides this large farm Capt.
,Getzen4h has land on the Itchtneknee
river, a river which is formed by
two beautiful clear bubblii g springs,
one of them fifty feet! ,an

Captain Is wonderful man.
Came from the war with only one
leg, and raised and educated ten
children. Served as county COM
missioner for years, on school board
for a long time, was tax collector
quite awhile, served the county in
the Legislature for four years, and
was chairman of finance and taxa.
tion committee for four years. He
was asked to run for governor of
State, but declined. He is now s3
years old and still travels by him
self. Came from Columbus, Ca,
to Plum Branch. Went With us to-
South Florida after we had rested
here for couple of weeks. Our
first stop was at Enstis to visit Mr..
7. E. Cochran and family, who
moved from Plum Branch to Flori-
da. He met US at the station; took
US to his lovely home, which is
about a hall mile from his fine
grove; house is in city limits, and is
beautifully furnished. Here we saw
Mrs E. C. Winn, too. Mr.. Cochran
took US to ride next morning over
Eustis and another town. Saw lakes
from 6 to 8 miles long and about as
wide, with orange groves. Beautiful,
beautiful scenery everywhere.
In the afternoon he took Capt,
Getzen and myself out on his star
route, 20 miles. Saw one grove, fruit
from it sold last March for 26 thou
sand dollars clear, not much on it
this year.
Good roads in this section, most of
them asphalt, costing about $4,000
per mile. Next. day Mr.. Cochran and
his good wife took us on our way to
Sorrento, about ten miles from Eustis.
Here Captain stopped to see an old
friend of his. Then on to Sanford, to
take dinner with a grandson of Cap
tain's, T. W. Getzen, Jr. Then we
branched off to another road to go
to Lakeland. Got there about dark
and found Captains son, DR.. j. P.
