A BIRTHDAY IN FLORIDA. A friend
of The Journal writes from Daytona, Flo
rida, concerning recent incident in the
lives of Belfast people visiting in that
city, in part, as follows: A lady of our
party, who is supposed to be old, but in
reality is not, observed her birthday here
on Saturday, March Goth, being the twen-
tytlrst successive birthday passed in the
Southland. On this occasion, with good
health and beautiful August weather and
surroundings all about, and with visiting
friends, the day was one of genuine pleas
ure. Old neighbors from ST. Augustine
came down the intervening eight miles to
take dinner, bringing the best of wishes,
candy and loads of flowers. The flower
gifts would certainly be amply sufficient
to decorate church for Easter. In the
afternoon the visitors suggestion of a
ride on the ocean beach was gladly adopt
ed. So in the afternoon, with our old
friend Joe at the lever, all hands first
rode up to Ormond on the Dixie Hieb-
way, then on the great ocean beach
The course from Ormond to Mosquito In
let Is about twenty miles or more, as fine
a speedway as the world can show. Not
much chance for collisions with a road
way four hundred feet wide. The ride
along the brink of the ocean was de-
Hghtful one and the speed of forty or
more miles an hour hardly noticeable.
Our new neighbors and friends here were
especially KIND in remembrances of cards
and flowers, but the Belfast gifts of cards
were, as always: the sure sign of LOYALTY
and friendship of those good people At
home. These three cities of Davtona
Daytona Beach and Sea breeze, ALWAYS
much alive, are prospering as never be-,
lore. New homes of tn e bungalow tyne
and larger are springing up all about,
and the dry, sunny land, apparently of
no earthly use, brings fabulous prices AZ
home sites. There are many favored
spots in Florida, but, taken altogether.
the Triple Cities, with the Halifax river
and Atlantic ocean at their doors. are nm
surpassed. So we thi.4k in winter and
spring; so they think here all the wear
round.
