Let us take trip around Flor
ida using as a guide book a geo.
graphy published in 1860, which
has just come into the writer's
possession.
The book contains SO pages
and twenty maps drawn to "a
new and uniform system of scales
constructed expressly for this
work. The scale for the map OF
the ten Southern States is 16O
geographical miles to the inch.
BY that new and uniform" sys-
tenn of measurement, the State
of Florida is indicated to be about
800 miles wide, east to west be-
tween the Atlantic Ocean at jack
sonville, and Pensacola, and $40
miles north and south.
/ The individual States are print
ed in solid colors; Florida is blue
Boundary lines, rivers, and all
names are printed in black.
! The geography was prepared
by Cotton g. Fitch, and lis de-
scribed on it's title page as an en-
troductory School Geography
with numerous engravings". Mr.
Fitch wrote the text, Mr.. Cotton
drew the maps. The line illus
trations depicting people and
scenes around the world are very
accurate and were done by sew
eral different wood engravers
with much apparent skill.

New York, the Florida distribu-
tor, if the book was ever used in
Florida, was probably j. M. Coop

appears on the imprint.
! Only four cities are indicated
for Florida: Key West, st. Angus
tine, Tallahassee and Pensacola;
and five capes: Cape Sable, Cape
Florida, Cape Canaveral, Cape
Romano, and Capt ST. Bias. The
Florida Keys are designated and
Appalachee and Tampa Bay, but
no Tampa and no Jacksonville
and not even the trading post
which became Miami.
The rivers named are the St
Johns, the St. Mary's, and the
Appalachicola; of the lakes, only
Okeechobee is given place.

LAST EVENING
VARIOUS DISCUSSIONS EN-

INTERESTS OF EMPLOYEES
ORGANIZATION
Communicated

lie NdVOtd-E SUGIdl CIIlolOyeS
Federal Credit Union held their
annual meeting at the County
Court House January 7, at 800 p.
m. Captain w. F. Jacobs. assist
ant commandant of the 7th Naval
District, was guest of honor.
A very interesting meeting was
had with open discussions from
the floor.
Frank c. Schneider, president
of the union, gave an outline of the
history of the organization and
explained its purpose and adj
vantages for the information of
new members present.
The reports of the committees
were read and approved. These
facts were of especial interest.
The treasurer's report. dated as
of Dec. 81, 1910. showed $750.45
paid on shares and $4,000 made
in loans since its organization. The
credit committee reported 10
loans approved through Dec. 81,
1910, totalling $4,000 with no de-
linquent payments being re-
corded. The supervisory commit
tee reported that the treasurer's
books and records had been
audited and found in good order,
that the bank account and pass
books had been checked with the
treasurer's accounts and found to
agree, and that the treasurer's
bond had been Investigated and
found sufficient. They further
reported that careful investigation
had shown that the activities and
functions of the directors and
credit committee had been proper
and in accordance with the by
laws. No recommendations for
changes were made as none were
deemed necessary or advisable.
Upon recommendations of the
nomination committee, which
commended the spirit of coopera-
ton and efficiency of the in
cumbents, the following were
unanimously reelected:
For directors: Frank c. Sch
neider, Charles S. Mathews, Fran
els x. Delaney, Leo Haskins, Miss
Margarita Lacedonia.
For credit committee: Claude E.
Sails, Fernando E. Camus, Jos. L.
Gates.
For supervisory committee:
Ralph Sierra, Hunter C. Harden,
Walter WI Griffin.
The presence of Captain Jacobs
was especially appreciated by all
members and his comments and
suggestions found of great value.
He commended the organization
and its service to civil employees
and suggested that a committee
be appointed to bring to the at
tention of all civil employees the
advantages of this union He fur
Their stated that he believed there
should be 400 members rather
than 81 as at present. This sug-
gestion will be carried out to the
fullest ability by the education
committee.
II was brought out at this meet
ing that many civil employees were
under the impression that this or
ganization is a labor union to
which only yard employees are
eligible. This is not labor union,
but a cooperative association of
civil employees for the specific
purpose of promoting thrift among
its members and creating a source
of credit for provident or produc-
tive purposes. All civil employees
