they themselves will be grateful for
in the years to come.

GEO. B. DOUGAN WRITES
GOOD LETTER FROM FLORIDA

!
Editor Democrat:-As many Of
our friends want to know about our
, sojourn in Florida, and writing is
not my long suit, | am sending these
| few lines to the Democrat in order
to save the labor of writing many
letters, and to save time for some
| thing far more mportant-some-
thing at which | feel SO competent
| these days | am willing to challenge
! any of our Morgan county amateurs
as soon as l get back home. Barn
yard gold is in high vogue here
now, and ringers" are as common
as oranges on the trees, and the
merry click of the shoes as they hit
/ the peg are as music to the dew
! Otee's ears.
| Mrs. Dougan told far more in her
letter about conditions here than
can dare hope to tell in this. She
told about great Improvements go
! ing on here, and all | can add is
1 that what is going on here in Winter
Haven is being duplicated in other
towns all over the state. Every
where the people of, Florida are
awakening to the fact that their
state is bound to become the winter
home of a continually greater and
greater number of northern people
| But this is not an unmiXed good, for
/ there are some here, as elsewhere,
who are giving themselves up to ex-
| plotting the getting the
most out of them now regardless of
the future.
This shortsighted policy is of
course not confined 10 Florida, but it
retards rather than helps real prog
ress Just now real development, es-
pecially of the back country, is not
in as high favor as is speculating in
| town lots and suburban subdivisions
But for all that, there is great fu-
ture looming up for Florida, or per-
haps it is better to say the certainty
of this glowing future is the cause of
the al-estate-frenzy'' with which
most Floridains are now seized.
Florida has real climate to sell, al
| though it is not perfect-nothin5
earthly is. 1t is true she has sudden
and extreme changes in tempera-
/ ture, however vehemently they may
deny the fact. For instance, last
week began with summer weather.
Suddenly cold wind sprang up and
in IL hours the mercury had fallen
from 70 to So. The next "a hours it
went down to AZ, and the next "a
down to "a and the house roofs were
covered with frost. But small dam
age was done here on this high
ground, though banana plants on
the lowlands were injured some.
,Frosts, though, if they do come oc-
casionally, are rare. In 1895 was
the big freeze as they call it. In
1917 was another pretty big frost
worse than that of last week, but
not so bad as that of 1895. BY Sat
urday evening of last week the
weather was back to the ideal again,
and the probabilities are that the

Was Peacock-Not Peacemaker

Last week when we published the
interesting list of John B. Farra S
"old time happenings, we said the
name of the man who superintended
the work on the old Calico railroad
was Peacemaker, when we shoeld
have said Peacock. Now it would
seem like a far cry from the former
to the latter name. Any way we
hope he was a good superintendent
and didn't boss too hard
The way we came to make the
mistake was, that after the attention
of the office force had been centered
upon Mr. Farra's word, to determine
which it was-Peacemaker or Pea
cock, the weight of opinion seemed
to favor Peacemaker.

which has been flooded for the past
three years There is hardly any
limit to the amount one can raise.on
an acre of ground there, when the
water has receded and conditions are

celery, anything along that line, the
Everglades can produce in eompeti-
ton with the world.
Conditions here are so different
from Ohio-it is difficult to give
northerners any true idea of them.
For instance, when Ohio apples get
ripe we expect to gather them in o
short time or lose them-but here,
as Isaid above, the orange trees are
coming into bloom, and many of the
trees are still loaded with fruit
which began to ripen last October

has farming all to learn overA noth-
ing here is done like it is in the
north, can not be. But it is northern
capital and northern energy that is
developing Florida-also it is north
Rern realtors" who are selling town
lots for living speculating in
them to get rich, and sometimes sue
ceeding Of course the esthing is very
much overdone in places, and tour-
| lists are often seen going back north
in disgust.
Take it all in all, Florida is all
right; if she has gnats, she has or
anges; if she has mosquitoes, she
has pine apples; if she has chiggers,
she also has fine bathing beaches; if
! she has hot suns, she has cool
nights if she has frosts once in a
while, she has many, many beautiful
days when the north is covered with
snow, or suffering with Billiards; if
she has 'real-estate-itis, she has
