Breeders in Florida.

1t sounds almost strange to talk about the
breeders of Florida. We often speak of the Texas
breeders, but most frequently been the breed
ers of New York, Wisconsin Iowa some of the
other northern states scene being shifted
and Florida is coming into the limelight of
the important breeding states of the union.
1t is admitted of that have always
raised some hogs and many cattle in Florida, but
they have been the commonest varieties, known as
the razor-b backs and scrubs and effort made
previous to ten to introduce the really
fine breeds of hogs and cattle but all that has been
changed in the last decade
One of the first to take up breeding seriously
was z. G. Herlong formerly extensive property
owner in Jacksonville. He the rich farm
now has several breeding farms that counted
among the best in the country. He became an
enthusiast fine hogs has succeeded in plac-
ing his name high in the calendar of the best
breeders in the United States and his fame has
spread to many states.
For three years his products have been
going into a number of and the demand
for his purebred Poland China hogs has been
sufficient to take all those he willing to place
in the breeding arena, for he will sell any that
do not look mighty good him. as reputation stands
above dollars with him.
/ For some time he has wanted to place a num-
/ Der Of his hogs in grand auction sale which he
could advertise in order that the splendid strain
could be more widely placed in Florida and N.
Wednesday of this his ambition be real
lied and thirty of his finest hogs will be offered
to the breeders and farmers and those
who may come from adjoining states to attend
this sale at his famous Herlong farm near
Micanopy.
! 1t has been said that finer collection of pure
bred animals has been offered in sale
! in the South and the interest Is so great that a
special sleeper has been engaged and all reserva-
lions taken to leave Jacksonville Tuesday night
and return Wednesday night, with over thirty prom
inent breeders and business from this city.
This will be event of Importance to Florida and
should be attended by every prominent breeder in
the state-Jacksonville Times Union.

Georgetown Again Has
Fine Catholic Chur ch

Georgetown prides herself upon
the replacing of the Catholic
church. of which the city had been
proud for many years, but which
was destroyed by FIRE about two
years ago The new church built
on a different site, was dedicated
with appropriate ceremony last
Sunday. the services in charge of
Right Reverend Bishop Then.
People from the county and
from greater distances gathered
for the dedication, and were i'm
pressed by the eloquent sermon
of the bishop, in which he made
clear the mystery and significance
of the ceremony, which was new
to many.
Father Boyle of the Georgetown
church was the celebrant of high
mass, while Father McCabe of
Idaho Springs, and Father Minnis
of Central City were attendants on
the bishop. Father Donneily,
who was pastor of the church
seventeen years ago, officiated and
preached at the evening service.
Under the direction of Mrs.
Meuse, the choir assisted by out
side singers, sustained the repu-
tation long held by Georgetown
in earlier days. Miss r. Phillips
and George Hemleck were among
those who assisted with the singing.
When we consider conditions
which have existed during the
past year, with labor and building
material at their highest, the peo-
pie of Georgetown are to be con-
graduated upon the magnifice nee
Of their new building. which
would reflect credit on place of
many times the population
Among those from Idaho Spr-
ings in attendance were Mrs.
Geo. E. McClelland, Mrs. Prechtl
and family. Mrs. W. L. Shaffer,

"BruZ" Roberts Again
on the Casualty List

First Lieut.. John L. Roberts,
son of the late Sena tor II. l..
Roberts, was again injured on the
French front last July 4, and after
recovering in hospital, went back
to the front. On February IL the
family received word from the
government that he had been re-
turned to service October l3.
The last letter received from the
young lieutenant himself was
written September IL, while he
was recuperating.
Now comes the information in the
casualty list that he is wounded,
degree undetermined. Whether
this is report of a new wound, or
a late repetition of the report of
former injury is not known, and it
is extremely difficult to secure any
conhrmative information.

are still about seventy of the gar

Former SiftinqS Man
Writes From England

From Winchester, England,
comes a newsy letter written by
Albert T. Green, who previous to
his enlistment in Hospital Corps
No. 80, was an employee of the
Siftings. Portions of the letter,
dated February 3, follows:
"We are now waiting in a de-
barkation camp for transportation
to the U. S. A.
"On several occasions / have
had bundles of the Siftings, and
have enjoyed reading them. The
last came about a month ago,
while we were still in Tottenham.
I'VE left the U. S. on the fifth
of July, and after an uneventful
voyage of two weeks, landed in
Liverpool, stopping over night
and proceeding to London the
next day. ...
Upon our arrival in London,
we took over the North. eastern
fever hospital, and by the middle
of August, were get ing in our
first patients, mostly men from
the 9th, Both and 33rd divisions
sour hospital mad capacity of
1000 beds and We had a personnel
of 200 enlisted men, 100 nurses
and 35 doctors
"We were beginning to do our
bit far from the line of battle, but
just as necessary as the fighting.
'By the middle of October we
were, with our equipment, caring
for nearly 1.7OO patients, and
continued with that number until
we began to close down about the
first of December
"By the tenth of January every
thing was cleared of patients. and
we began packing up our equip
ment. Two weeks later found us
headed for Winchester, on our
way home. We have been here
ten days, have been kept busy
every day. The American rest
camp ia located here but they
surely misnamed it, for every one
of us has been busy every day
since our arrival.
During my stay in London l
had some time to myself and took
advantage of it. visited several
of the historical and important
buildings of the city, such as the
House of Parliament, Westmin-
ster Abbey, St. Pauls cathedral, the
Royal Exchange, Bank Of Eng
land, British Museum, and many
others. All were very interesting.
"The first week in January l
took advantage of seven days
leave, and took trip thru Corn
wall, going as far as one can go
to Lands End. In all, England
is wonderful country, but you
can give me the good old U. s. A.
any time.
II was somewhat disappointed
that I did not get to France, but
from what the boys say who have
been over there, am satisfied
that I did not get to go.
"Our living conditions while in
London were as good as one could
ask. 1t was some ome-down for
us when we landed here, where we
had to hunt for the soft side of
pine board But the boys are
easily satisfied, and take to condi.
tions without much grumbling.
Il shall more than likely make
a visit to Idaho Springs shortly
after my return to the states, and
shall try to tell you more then.
