Back From Florida
c. E. Gilpen who returned to his
home here last Thursday, after a
five weeks trip through Florida,
wishes to tell his friends of the
many places of interest he saw His
first week was spent in looking over
the city of Daytona Beach. This is
a city of flowers, beautiful and miles
long. Ridgewood avenue is said to
be nearly eight miles long. The
city boasts of the finest beach in the
world. Board walks along the
beach are SO feet wide, and mile
long. You will see hundreds OF
people, some from every state, on
this walk every day The pier and
Casino building built out in the
ocean, makes great fishing resort.
The Casino building first floor is "a
fine dance hail. Second story is the
museum, where you see specimens
of birds, reptiles, small animals ana
sea monsters. There are nearly 60
hotels in the city. Auto races took
place here on the beach Feb. 10.

Schultz from Pennsylvania, and
Mr.. Gilpen spent three weeks tour
ing southern Florida by auto. At
Ormand they saw JohT: d. Rock
efeller and his summer home. St.
Augustine, the Oldest city, view
ed the old fort, the fountain of
youth and the Oldest house. A great
sight was the spring at Deland,
which throws great volume of wa
ter several feet in the air. This
makes quite large lake and fine
place for fishing. Silver Spring is a
beautiful sight. The water is so
clear you can see the bottom, some
ten or twelve feet deep. They spent
quite a bit of time in Jacksonville.
This is a fine city. and they have a
fine radio station They saw Uncle
Bob" the red headed schoolmaster
and he is real southern gentle
man. He knows how to tell you
about Edgeworth tobacco. They al
SO visited at the following cities:
Orlando, Port Orange, Ocala, Orange
CITY. keystone Heights, Palatka and
several smaller towns: also went
down to the swamps and everglades
and were lucky enough TO see two
alligators in one of the swamps lying
about half out of the water, just
below in the everglades visited =
small Indian settlement. The boys
and girls are fairly weI educated.
The older ones, they don't think. do
much work, especially the men.
Mr.. Gilpen thinks it would pay any
one to make a trip down in the land
of sunshine, for that is simply what
it is. Everything is fine but :the
drinking water.
