Pensacola.
The way in West Florida is a pro-
gressive one and especially in Wash
ington county.
Our county of Washington is one
of the most important and progressive
in the state. and is located in one
of the best farming and stock raising
districts. 1t today is a section of many
fertile farms, and the farmers have
cast aside to a great extent King Cot
ton and are planting other crops for
their money, hence the farmer with
his stock has accepted the new phrase
Pigs, peanuts and profits
1t must be remembered that Wash
ington county is one of the oldest in
the state the pioneers were of the
first blood of Georgia, Carolina and
Virginia, who came here with large
herds of cattle and opened up extern
sive farms. built log houses, churches
and school houses and from whence
sprang many of the refined and Gull
tured population which represents the
prosperous and progressive element of
this splendid county and this great
West Florida.
Prosperity is doing everything to
force itself on West Florida general
" and with the assistance of the good
people this great section is going to
develop very rapidly. 1t is hard to be-
lieve that any part of Florida can pro-
duce such crops as ours. surely the
natural state of this delightful section
is one of peace. prosperity and hap
piness, which alone invites to our
cline numbers of settlers from other
states, and in every community from
the Alabama line on the west and
north to the Cha ttahootchee river on
the east will be found splendid schools
and churches well kept by taxation.
The compulsory school law recently
enacted is another link towards a
greater state and greater West Flor
ida.
In view of West Florida being better
adapted to stock raising than many
other sections of the state it is espe-
ciaIly attractive to the small farmer,
and the idea which is uppermost in the
minds of our people is I'VE have the
garden spot of the world and 1 am one
of that kind.
