went to Dundee, Iron Mountain,
Lake Wales, Babson Park, Frost
proof, Ft. Meade, Eagle Lake, and
then back to Winter Haven. Bal
tow is the county seat of this Polk
county and is very old town. Iron
Mountain is said to be the highest
point in Florida and is a very won
derful place. Babson Park belongs
to Babson the great statistician and
is very beautiful place too. Take
it all in all the trip as outlined
above took in some of the most in
teresting parts of these scenic high
lands of Florida-some of the views
almost riyaling those seen in Nor
gan and adjoining counties in Ohio.
So much of Florida is monotonous
plain and only a few feet above sea
level that the tourist who has seen
only the east and west coasts is most
agreeably surprised when he first
visits these highlands, the only part
of southern Florida that presents
any real variety of landscape. While
we have enjoyed our winter in Flor
ida ever so much, yet we will be
glad to get back to the hills of old
Morgan county once more-there'
no place like home We are very
much pleased to note that the pub
lie utilities commission of Ohio re-
ieeted all requests for the right to
operate bus service between Nc
Connelsville and Marietta. We can
well remember when Morgan coun-
ty had no railroad and how long
and how earnestly we worked to get
one, and we do not think the best
interests of the county would be
conserved by granting bus priyi-
leges to compete with the railroads.
