"All right, Alexander Won't it be
fun telling the boys back at the South
Shore Club, next week."
Skipskahoochee was not designed
with the primary idea of entertaining
tourists. It consisted of tool shed
and a ten foot platform where an
occasional load of freight was put on
or off. There was no station agent
on hand for the very good reason
that there was no station agent. The
Board of Trade and the Boosters
Club had not yet been organized.
One train, they called it train,
stopped there if the conductor sig
nailed or if the engineer happened
to see anyone. Otherwise the place
slumbered on as in the days when
Henando De Soto and his Indian
bride inhabited the orange blossom
state.

get off the porter placed the step for
them. At that it was some jump and
both passengers sprawled.

diner threw out some bits of bread
which were eagerly eaten. In the

and live oaks festooned with Spanish
moss which waved with the gentle

This fashion Of stitching the surface

the clever French makers employed
