Editor, Journal:
There are several reasons / like
West Florida. In the first place the
doctor does not get so much of my
money. When our physician in North
Georgia told me that nothing would
save my wife and daughter from a
consumptives grave unless it would
be living near the salt water, I came
to Santa Rosa county. My wife was
coughing and very feeble In ten DAYS
she quit coughing, and has neve.
coughed since. That was three years
ago. / came down only to stay through
the winter, but we bought a small
farm instead and have remained ever
since. / used to have an annual doc
tors bill of $500. This year so far
its been only three dollars. My wife's
recovery and that difference, you
readily understand would make any
body like West Florida.
Conditions in farming are some
what different here, and 1 have not
been so successful, but L went into
the woods, and my land has really
not yet been gotten into farming
shape. l like West Florida because
L can produce milk here with less ex
pense. 1 have found that cows grow
fat upon the forest grass, and yield
very good quality of milk.
One of the most likeable things
about West Florida, especially on Es-
Gambia Bay is the abundance of fish
ing afforded. We feed our chickens
on fish, and eat them ourselves
