This is proven from the fact that

Both in summer and in winter the

climate one of her most appreciative

Both residents and visitors join
in saying that her climate is healthful,
pure, soft, invigorating and delightful

Among all the splendid counties Of

Further along towards the eastern
boundary is Salt Springs, (noted for
its medicinal properties,) the majes-
tic st. Johns river, Lake Monroe,
Lake Kerr, Lake Bryant, Lake Jump

stream bearing the euphonious name
of "Niggertown Creek
Lake Kerr already possesses hotel
accommodation and school facilities
and is the home of number of wint-
er tourists who never weary in sing
ing it's delights.
We remember once having heard
a prominent citizen say that suffer

liquid foods, after spending two weeks
at Salt Springs, drinking and bathing
in its waters, he felt himself able to
digest brick-bats.

In former days the margin of Lake
Bryant was almost an impentrable
forest of wild orange trees so thick
as to almost resemble an African
jungle. Many of the trees were later
taken up by the natives, transplanted
and converted into sweet ones, and
that section of the county is dotted
over with many pretty and profitable
groves and all season long fruit which

Orange Lake skirts along the north

The early settlers with their prodi-
gal slave labor were too much en-
crossed in the cultivation of staple
crops to pay any attention to the
growing of fruits as a profitable in
dustry and acres upon acres of these
trees, now laying golden eggs, so to
speak, were sacrificed for the grow
ing of cotton which was then every
where proclaimed king
Fortunately many acres escaped de-
spoilation but it was not until 1870
that the value of these great gifts OF
nature began to be recognized as Of
commercial value.
It was in that year that Mr.. James
A. Harris, who is still living, purchas-
ed something over five hundred acres
and began converting these sour or
ange trees into sweet ones and thus
began this industry which has since
developed into such gigantic proper
tions not alone in Florida but in Cali
fornia and other states.
These immense native groves, so
bountifully scattered over this county,
produced mostly an extremely sour
fruit but an occasional tree bore
what the natives termed bitter
sweet" sweeter than the, average
sweet orange, but the inner lining
could easily claim first cousin to the
quinine tree, vet a little dexterity
converted it into a most palatable
fruit.
In the early days near where now
stands the pretty village of Mcintosh
the bellies and ,beaux of that era form
ed social organization and built a
club house on the margin of the lake
which witnessed the gaities of that
period and the sour and bitter-sweet
oranges were converted into ades and
other delicious concoctions.
Springs, Rivers and Lakes Command
Attention
Orange Springs is not so remote
and in those same old days when liv-
ing was almost dream it enjoyed a
reputation almost equal to some Of
the more famous Sulphur springs as
a watering place and was visited by,
great numbers of people and in time
1t will regain its reputation and be-
come resort for both health and
pleasure
Towards the east is the weird, pic
suresque Ocklawaha river, unlike any
other stream on the American conti-
nent. AS it winds itself along the dis
mai but ever changing solitudes its
bends" almost equal those Of con-
