terday there was in this broad division
OF our Union one deep and unbroken
forest Of pines, spreading its shade
upon the Gull of Mexico at the rising
Of the sun and spending its shadow
upon the Atlantic at the close Of day,
rooted in soil whose fertile depth
no man had thought of. Today in the
heart of that forest of yesterday
stands boldly out against the CONNER

country the massive and splendid walls
OF a mighty business center, read of
and known both far and wide.
Yesterday here stood the noble, stall
wart pine, which had defied and hum
dred years of lightning and storm; but
today his place is resigned by the
woodman's axe and there stands IN
his steal, with loftier heights, the house
of Lee and the house of Grant.
Yesterday who dared penetrate the
home of the wolf, the bear and the
deer. the alligator and the moccasin?
Today the question is answered ~
eight thousand souls are here from
every where for gain of money, sweet
concourse and restoration of health,
hailing from every quarter of the land
of Grant and the land of Lee.

Vim. R. Bowen and John B. Seanor
are two men of similar characteristics
and contemporaneously intimate with
each phase of the development of our
Colony and town from 1895 to 1922.
Both have ever been modest, unassun-
IN and responsive, never counting an
office, yet alert to the public interests
and responsive to civic duty absolute
ly reliable in their integrity, depend
able IN cooperation, each pursuing the
even tenor of his way and with good
buslness-sense adding to his worldly
store by methods homes and wise.
John has always been quiet sober

most attractive of the seasons bellies
Miss Grace Bauder who was making a
visit to her brother the banker Mr.. E.
S. Bauder. They were married the
same year and established themselves
as another pair of the early home build

able IN rooperation, each pursuing the
