Orlando is building at a record
breaking pace as shown by the sta
tistics for the year. According to
the figures given herewith, taken from

to pass the record attained in 1920.
The following is the SentinePs story

construction started or completed
ranks third among the months of the
1921 building year in Orlando. Forty
five residences are included in the
141 permits granted by the depart
ment of building. Three new apart

recorded at $314,300; August built
at the rate of 1881, 1906.

ALONzO LOGAN
ERECTS new
BRICK BUILDING
TwO-stOry Structure, MOdernly
Finished, On West Main
and Virginia

A recent addition to West Main
street is the new two-s' DRY brick
building just completed by A ouzo
logan, one of the citys oldest con
tractors. His rev building is on The
corner o. Virginia avenue ard West
Main. The structure is of a fla iron
shape due to the angling shape of
the lot, the back of which borders on
the A. c. l.. righ,-oi-way. but the
building is of modern design and
finish and a substantial addition to
the city. The over floor consists of
a storage rOcm, occupied by the
owner for storing building material,
and gasol ne filling station operated
by S. e. Melton. On the upper floor
is located the contracting office of
Mr. Logan ard modern three-roon
apartment with bath. A picture OF
the building is presented in this is
sue.
Things are beginning to look up on
West Main street. and it is freely
predicted that within a short me this
section of the city will show a great
amount of building activity There is
a proposition on foot to open West
Main street straight through to con-
meet up with the Tampa asphalt road
making West Main the leading thor
oughfare into Lakeland from the west
When this is done it is expected that
much development will take place in
this end of the city. as it would log
ically divert traffic that is now com
ing in over West Lemon street and
make Main the leading thoroughfare
into the city from the west.
- Mr.. Logan has been in the con-
tracing business in Lakeland fol
nineteen years. during which time he
{ has built many of Lakeland's build
ings and residences. Work in hand al
this time is the remode ing of the
Lake Wire and Lake Morton sehoo
buildings.

HAINES CITY

GROCERY Co
Hillsboro Grocery Company Buys
Ste for Erection of
Building

The following story recently sent
ont from Haines City tells of the pos
;ibilities of Haines City as a distrib-
u ing center for South Florida:
The Hillsboro Grocery Company of
Tampa. with whom are affiliated sew
9ral local men of prominence, has
bought three of the finest lots in the
new railroad terminals in this city,
and will erect brick building for
a wholesale grocery business. 1t is
stated that this will be in no sense a
warehouse, or strictly speaking, a
branch Of the Hillsboro Grocery Com
pany. but a new and distinct local
wholesale grocery concern, controlled
by the Hillsboro Grocery Company in
terests and local people of promi
nence in south Florida.
The lot is $50 feet frontage on the
new seventy-foot wholesale street ad
jacent to the new terminals, running
back to trackage along the entire
property. The property faces the
Dixie highway. running from Jack
sonville to Tampa, and is considered
one of the finest locations in this
city for this business.
The Standard Oil Company, the
Wilson & Toomer Fertilizer Co., the
King Lumber Company and others Of
the most substantial concerns ir
Florida have bought property, in these
new terminals adjoining the recent!
acquired yards of the Atlantic Coast
Line, and the action of the HillsborC
Grocery Company is further evidence
of the far sightedness of the mer
making up this company, who have
seen the possibilities of Haines City
as natural distributing center fol
all of south central Florida.

Felicities of Sixty Years.
FELICITIES OF SIXTY YEARS"

About a month ago the New York
| Times Book Review and Magazine

| above title, and 1 wish all middle
aged men and women could read
and ponder every sentence. ST, up
| to now, these middle-aged people
have not begun to prepare for life
| after sixty years, this might help
them. / am going to quote some
of it, so thatNyou may have an idea
what to put away for those years
when many are wont to be bur
dens to themselves and trials to
others.
Dorothy Dix advised people to
have some outside interest and I ad-
wise them to have some inside (men-
tad resource. Then, if the days of
ones latter years should be dark
ened by poverty, ill health or even
blindness, thoughts and memories
stored away viii Flash upon the in
ward eye" and brighten solitude. But
read what this writer in the New
York Times says:
ga wise woman of more than
eighty years said to me on my six
tieth birthday, Il congratulate you,
you have begun to live, after sixty
years of preparation, and are wise
enough to govern yourself and help
others. The best part of life is be-
tween sixty and eighty"
This writer in the Times contin-
ued, II pondered her saying, test
ing its truth by my own experience.
I think so because my opinions OF
friends and enemies of life, and the
meaning of life have undergone a
marked and significant change, in
which I find distinct and abiding
happiness. I have at last learned
to look about me. l expect less and
exact less of friends. I value them
according to their merits and not
my needs. I observe their fine
qualities with greater pleasure, and
am less offended by their weak
ness.
knowing them to be human, and
that God never made anything
equal to Himself, / find it easy to
pardon the necessary consequences
of imperfection. I derive pleasure
from those peculiarities which 1
share with them and do not dis
like those in which I do not share.
When l approach my friends [ do
so gladly, not only because 1 ex-
pect good from their companion

craving for sympathy which is in
stinctive in every being, but be.
cause 1 like to be near what I
admire. Some I seek because they
are wise and can help me to
understand. some because they are
agreeable and have that charming
faculty of gayety which is so de-
lightful to serious men. Those who
laugh together are very fortunate
1T think them also fortunate"
this writer continues. who can
share each others miseries. Women
are best for sorrow: men for trial.
