WRITES FROM RIO VISTA,
NEW TOWN IN FLORIDA

Editor Democrat:-As / promis-
ed, fulfill, but unfortunately / have
delayed writing you relative to our
trip to the land of sunshine.
No picture" can ever convey a
true impression of the real charm
of this unique and attractive south
ern city. 1T is one of the prettlest
spots in Florida, built in a forest Of
oaks, palmettos, and glossy magno-
lias, with all the charming features
of park reserve. The residences
appear to be incidental to the park
like appearance, rather than the
main, feature. Fronting Daytona
on the east is the beautiful Halifax
river, the main street running par
allel known as Beach street, where
in the Casino Burgoyne is situated,
the meeting place of all the tourists
and the center of attraction, with
two band concerts daily at 8 and Z
p. m.
Then three miles directly north is
the new town of Rio Vista created
for all restful and pleasure loving
people, planned and owned person
ally by Mr.. Walter C. Hardesty of
Akron, o., acknowledged to be one
try, by the local bankers, profess
sional men. landscape architects and
leading citizens, to say the least in
regard to the personal Endorsements
held by Mr.. Hardesty from Vic Don
ahey. Governor of Ohio, s. ]. Bris
ter former PRESIDENT of the bankers
association of Ohio, and numerous
financiers throughout the state, as
10 h s- * fu infn w
to carry out any and all projects
that he undertakes.
The new town is located on the
Halifax river almost opposite the
home of J.D Rockefeller, comprising
a water frontage of about three
quarters of a mile; the Dixie high
way running through the entire
length of the property on the east
and the Florida East Coast Railroad
on the west, therefore it is impossi-
BILE for tourists to avoid passing
through Rio Vista while enroute
down the eastern coasts
Nature has been most lavish in
this section and the cooling breeZes
from the river and ocean make it
delightful spot the year round.
Boating, fishing and motoring along
the river are enjoyed by VlSltOrS, In
fact the town promises to be the
most beautiful site for home set
tings in the entire state. 1t is also
a well known fact that Florida is
becoming the playground of Ameri-
ca and is no longer in the expert
mental stage, and after taking into
consideration that Ormond, Daytona
and Rio Vista are within 40 hours
by rail, encircling over fifty million
of people, combined with a distinctly
tropical type of vegetation, it has no
equal or rival in availability to
about half the people in the United
States

Dozens of homes are to be built
this year, both of the moderate and
high class type, throughout this Sec
tion. Most of the houses already
built are of the Spanish style, with
stucco finish, and appear to have a
very cooling effect. But the design
of homes to be built at the new
town of Rio Vista, as suggested by
Mr.. Hardesty, are to be of Moorish,
Spanish and Mediterranean archi-
lecture combined, which have very
elaborate and artistic appearance
The climate averages II the year
round, with no excessive heat. In
fact the old time residents state that
there has never been one case of
heat prostration in the history of
this vicinity. All kinds of tropical
fruit grow in abundance-Oranges,
grape fruit, figs, bananas, and be it
kown that Mrs. Wade and I have
surely partaken of our share to the
limit.
1t will be well to mention the at
tractive ocean beach acknowledged
to be the finest on the Atlantic
coast, and famous for it's automobile
speedway. The sand packs so hard
that there. is practically no impress
sion of the tires ten minutes after
the tide recedes. At extremely low
tide the beach has a width of about
400 feet, thus giving seven or eight
hours for auto driving some part
of the day. Surf bathing has no
equal, with serious attention given
to the details of every adequate en-
tertainment for its visitors whether
they come in the winter months or
drop in to pay their respects in the
summer time.
Mrs. Wade had the pleasure nf
meeting President Harding Tues
day. March 6. On his journey to
Miami he left the train here at Or
mond and proceeded by private
yacht. We are also very close neigh
bors of j. D. Rockefeller, and every
Sunday we see our mutual friend
come and go from church, the
church being next door to our cot
tage.
In closing, / may mention that
this climate is ideal. The fact re-
mains that no people who visit here
return north without having been
benefited, especially those of deli
cate health.
We expect to return home Within
the next eight weeks, but from all in
dicati will have to leave for
Florida in the very early fall, in
order to meet the heavy influx of
people who desire to leave the rath-
er cold weather in the north.
Mrs. Wade joins me in extending
our very best wishes to all our
friends back home, and in thanking
you for your promptness in for
warding the weekly paper which
has never failed us. Sincerely
j. j. Wade.

Homer Grange met in a special
session Friday evening and regular
session Saturday. Homer grange is
surely growing. if slowly. The
work Of the grange has been so
quietly done, that but few seem to
realize what a force for good it has
been in our community during the
past few years. 1t has furnished
the building which has taken care
of the high school for the past
three years and so has helped to
keep many Of our young people at
home. 1t has been the only place
for public amusement, and nothing
unclean has ever been offered in this
hall. 1t has been the only central
organization of the township and it
is too bad that members from all
pairs of the township do not get to-
gether oftener that we may become
better acquainted. We ought to
realize that what affects one part of
our township affects us all and that
to really accomplish anything we
must work together, unselfishly, for
the good ofsall.
Homer high school received it's
charter as second grade high
school Monday. There will be eight
