Title Westinghouse Electric Collection Alternative Title Westinghouse Collection Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Description Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business the The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. The company changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945. In 1981, the company began to relocate its divison headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail. In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling, and a top-level decision to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings in the area were leased and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation of Germany in 1998, additional buildings (Quad II and Quad III) were added to the original complex at the Quadrangle. From 1998 to 2003 the Orlando operation was known as Siemens-Westinghouse, after which the name of Westinghouse was dropped. The operation has been known as Siemens from that time forward.

The cover photograph shows Times Square and the Union Carbide Building in Midtown Manhattan of New York City, New York, during the Great Northeast Blackout. The blackout occurred on November 9, 1965, and affected Connecticut, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, Pennsylvania, and Vermont, as well as part of Ontario, Canada. Some of the repercussions of the blackout included a large wave of utility purchases of power generating gas turbines to increase the peak load capacity and reserve margin of the many power systems, which were vulnerable to overload and failure. The event is considered to be the catalyst that jump started the modern gas turbine industry.

The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings were rented and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation, additional buildings were added to the complex. In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling and commitment to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings were rented and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation in 1998, additional buildings were added to the Quadrangle.

Title Evolution of the Central Station Steam Turbine in the United States Alternative Title Evolution of Central Station Steam Turbine Subject Engineering--United States Description An academic paper by Ronald L. Bannister and George J. Silvestri, Jr., presented at the American Society of Mechanical Engineers' (ASME) Winter Annual Meeting in 1988. Westinghouse Electric Corporation pioneered in the development of steam turbines for power generation when George Westinghouse (1846-1914) acquired the license to build and market the steam turbine developed by the Parsons Marine Steam Turbine Company. The first U.S.-built Westinghouse steam turbine (120kW) was built and installed in 1897. In 1902, the first Westinghouse electric utility steam turbine (1500kW) was installed at Hartford Electric Light Company. Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company.

Title Westinghouse Electric Collection Alternative Title Westinghouse Collection Subject Westinghouse Electric Corporation Description Originally called the Westinghouse Electric Company, George Westinghouse (1846-1914) founded his manufacturing company in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, on January 8, 1886. In 1889, he renamed his business the The Westinghouse Electric and Manufacturing Company. Westinghouse's primary products include turbines, generators, motors and switchgear related to the generation, transmission, and use of electricity. The company changed its name to Westinghouse Electric Corporation in 1945. In 1981, the company began to relocate its divison headquarters for the Steam-Turbine Generator Divisions from Pennsylvania (turbines from Lester and generators from Pittsburgh) to Orlando, Florida. The Power Generation Business Unit (PGBU) building was located in The Quadrangle, at 4400 Alafaya Trail. Originally, Westinghouse had purchased a large plot of land for future development that extended westward from Alafaya Trail to Rouse Road. The original headquarters was located on several acres of that land parcel close to Alafaya Trail. In 1994, after a major corporate management shuffling, and a top-level decision to change from an industrial manufacturing company to primarily a broadcasting/communications company, Westinghouse bought the CBS Network and changed its name to the CBS Corporation. As the PGBU grew in size, other buildings in the area were leased and then, after PGBU was sold to Siemens Corporation of Germany in 1998, additional buildings (Quad II and Quad III) were added to the original complex at the Quadrangle. From 1998 to 2003 the Orlando operation was known as Siemens-Westinghouse, after which the name of Westinghouse was dropped. The operation has been known as Siemens from that time forward.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Statement from William Beardall Alternative Title Beardall Statement Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description An undated statement from William Beardall. The statement offered brief information on "clean high pine land as good as any on the grant" set to be put up for auction. It is not clear what land Beardall described or where it was located. William Beardall was an Englishman who worked for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He had worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (November 26, 1886) Alternative Title Beardall to Sanford (Nov. 26, 1886) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Winter Haven (Fla.) Tavares (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Railroads--Florida Description A letter from William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated November 26, 1886. Contents of the letter included the purchasing of 320 acres near Winter Haven for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC). He noted that the land was valued at $30 an acre and estimated that the presence of an unspecified Presbyterian College in the area would enhance the land value. Beardall also provided an update on affairs in Sanford, Florida. In particular, he wrote that he was "working now to secure the erection" of a "Palmetto Fibre Manufactory" in Sanford, an enterprise that he figured would produce five tons of fiber per day and employ upwards of 200 workers. The factory in question was proposed by the Diamond Match Company. However, he explained that there was competition with Alexander St. Clair Abrams who was trying to persuade the company to locate the Fiber Plant in Tavares. St. Clair Abrams was a lawyer who had previously worked with the FLCC to negotiate a bid for a million-acre plot of land from the Internal Improvement Fund Board. When the FLCC failed to finalize the bid, however, St. Clair Abrams sued the company and later Henry Sanford for compensation for his services rendered during the period. At the time of Beardall's 1886 letter, St. Clair Abrams' affiliation with the company had long since ended and he was in the process of a protracted lawsuit against Sanford, a suit that remained unsettled at the time of Sanford's death in 1891. Beardall warned that the FLCC would probably need "to give them land for the factory and a wharf lot near the Saw Mill in order to secure them at Sanford." This deal, he added, might also lead to an eventual paper mill as well, built by the same company. He ended his letter with some discussion of building a potential railroad depot in Sanford. William Beardall was an Englishman who worked for the FLCC at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He had worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC, a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (November 21, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Nov. 21, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) DeLand (Fla.) Palatka (Fla.) St. Johns River (Fla.) Polk County (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Tourism--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated November 21, 1884. Topics in the letter included discussion of lands for sale and the need to set prices for the company's "lake region lands" in Polk County. Trafford also indicated that he was "a little alarmed at the burning down of our wooden towns - Palatka, Brunswick, Ga. - DeLand saw mill," adding that he was "taking every precaution here." Lastly he noted that "people are swarming into Jacksonville and all coming up the river - every prospect of a good winter business." Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board.

Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (June 22, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (June 22, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated June 22, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for three enclosed deeds, two of which were in the City of Sanford, Florida, the third was near Henry Sanford's St. Gertrude's Grove. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (June 20, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (June 20, 1884) Subject Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated June 20, 1884. In the letter, Trafford provided defense of his decision to have two different account books for the Sanford Telegraph Company and the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC). Based on the tone of the letter, it appears that Henry Sanford had questioned Trafford's managerial and bookkeeping decisions. The question concerned Trafford's division and distribution of company profits between the various enterprises in Florida, the stockholders in London, and Henry Sanford. Trafford reminded Sanford in the letter that he "will carry out the Resolution of the Stockholders which gives the [Sanford, Florida] offices the authority to settle these claims but gives no preference to either." Trafford was a company agent for the FLCC from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. As this letter demonstrates, his tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s.

R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated June 16, 1884. In the letter, Trafford indicated that he enclosed deeds for H. B. Anthony, Eliza W.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (May 9, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (May 9, 1884) Subject Real estate--Florida Immigration Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated May 9, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for nine deeds, all for five acre lots of land within the Sanford grant. These lots were designated for Swedish immigrants who worked for Sanford. As Trafford wrote, "the above Swede Emigrants are men who worked out their year for the company as per contract." The original emigration of laborers from Sweden came in 1871. Growing frustrated by race-related violence between the local whites and blacks laborers, Sanford sought to hire foreigners to replace the workforce for his two groves in Sanford, Florida. In May 1871, Sanford brought 33 migrants from Sweden to work on his two Sanford groves, first St. Gertrude's and later Belair. The Swedish workers, 26 men and 7 women, cost Sanford $75 each. According to the work contracts, Sanford was to provide housing and rations for each worker as well as a parcel of land for those satisfactorily completing their one-year contracts, Sanford hired an additional 20 Swedes the following year, in November 1871. E. R. Trafford, meanwhile, was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock.

Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated May 5, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for two deeds, both in the City of Sanford.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 26, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 26, 1884) Subject Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 26, 1884. The letter asked Sanford to sign and return a deed made out to Homer G. Monson. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 24, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 24, 1884) Subject Gainesville (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 24, 1884. The letter provided confirmation that Trafford received fived deeds that he had previously sent to Sanford for signing. He also updated Sanford on the status of several land grant requests to the federal government, adding that "some of our patents [land grants] are at Gainesville[sic]." Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 24, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 24, 1884) Subject Alachua County (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 24, 1884. The letter appeared to be a response to an earlier inquiry by Sanford regarding deeds. Trafford indicated that "the deeds to the Alachua lands are not in this office - I think they must be in London." Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 18, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 18, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 18, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Henry Sanford's signature for four deeds. All four of the deeds were for lots in the City of Sanford, Florida. The deeds were for J. E. Pace, Emmett H. Herndon, W. A. Statton, and Frederick W. Ellis respectively. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. William Beardall, meanwhile, was an Englishman who worked for the FLCC at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 17, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 17, 1884) Subject Polk County (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 17, 1884. In the letter, Trafford informed Sanford that he had acquired a "suitable form of deed for the transfer of the MacKinnon lands to the trustees." He added that the lands had not yet been deeded but that some sales were anticipated soon. Though the exact location of the MacKinnon lands is unknown, it is known that they were in Polk County and accessible by the South Florida Railroad. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 13, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 13, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Alachua County (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 13, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for six land deeds. Five of the six deeds were in the town of Sanford, Florida or within close proximity to the town. The sixth deed, purchased by the Florida Commercial Company, was for land in Alachua County. The purchasers for the other five deeds were John Davis, Stephen J. Drawdy, Henry L. DeForest and E. B. Vandeman, and Anna M. DeForest. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford (April 9, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Apr. 9, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) St. Johns River (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Logging Description A letter from E. R. Trafford to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated April 9, 1884. In the letter, Trafford provided a number of updates regarding the City of Sanford, Florida. First, he included several land grant certificates that awaited approval from the federal government. He expressed hope that Henry Sanford's "influence would push up" the issue on the government's priority list. Trafford also informed Sanford that "all the hotels close this week so I suppose things will quiet down." He also informed Sanford that the company had made "as much these last three months as the whole past fiscal year," noting that sales had reached $16,000 over a three month period. Among other topics, Trafford also informed Sanford that logs were arriving in Sanford, Florida via shipping on the St. Johns River. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (March 26, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (March 26, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated March 26, 1884. In the letter, Trafford requested Sanford's signature for two deeds. The two buyers were Isaac A. Hopper, who bought a lot for $350.00, and William Duryea, who purchased a lot for $700.00. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. William Beardall, meanwhile, was an Englishman who worked for the FLCC at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880.

Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (March 5, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (March 5, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated March 5, 1884. In it he requested signatures for a number of enclosed deeds. He also noted that the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) made $12,684.20 for the month of February 1884, adding that it was an increase of $10,964.20 over the same period from the previous year. Trafford was a company agent for the FLCC from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford. Unlike his predecessor, James Ingraham, Trafford provided Henry Sanford with little confidential, first-hand information about events in Florida. As a result, Sanford regularly advocated for Trafford’s replacement. However, the company’s other board members, distrustful of Henry Sanford’s business acumen, retained Trafford precisely because his first loyalties remained with the company in London and not Henry Sanford. His tenure as FLCC agent is reflective of the often tense relationship between Henry Sanford and his fellow board members as well as the increasingly limited influence Sanford had in company affairs. William Beardall, meanwhile, was an Englishman who worked for the FLCC at its local office in Sanford, Florida. He served as an assistant to the company agent, E. R. Trafford. He worked previously for the Scottish industrialist Sir William MacKinnon before joining the FLCC. The FLCC was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford with help from a group of British investors. Located at 13 Austin Friars in London, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a ₤10,000 cash payment and another ₤50,000 in company stock. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua and Marion counties. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. As a result of consistently meager profits from its inception, following Henry Sanford's death in 1891 many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Description The Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) was a joint-stock venture that invested in Florida land development and sales in the 1880s and early 1890s. The company was formed by Henry Shelton Sanford (1823-1891) with help from a group of British investors. The original impetus for the company's formation was Sanford's inability to continue his land acquisition and development efforts in Florida independently. In 1879, faced with financial difficulties, Sanford turned to a trusted associate in the United Kingdom, a Scottish industrialist named Sir William Mackinnon (1823-1893), to help him attract investors. The formation of the company was in large part due to the efforts of MacKinnon, whose reputation and influence helped bring investors on board. Located at 13 Austin Friars, the company was officially registered in London on June 10, 1880. With the formation of the FLCC, all of Henry Sanford's Florida properties were transferred to the company in exchange for a £10,000 cash payment and another £50,000 in company stock. The one-time cash payment was a needed reprieve for Sanford, who faced financial difficulties by the end of the 1870s. The board of directors included Mackinnon, as well as W. C. Gray and Edwyn Sandys Dawes, partners in Gray-Dawes and Company, a London-based banking and investment house. Other directors included Alexander Fraser, Anthony Norris, George A. Thomson, and Eli Lee. Sanford was named President and Chairman of the Board. In 1880, the company owned 26,000 acres scattered across Florida, including in the cities of Jacksonville, St. Augustine, and Sanford, as well as in Alachua County and Marion County. Almost from the outset, there was serious friction between the British board members and Henry Sanford. Disagreements erupted over business strategy, as Sanford frequently proposed initiatives deemed too bold for the cautious British investors. From 1882 to 1892, the company saw steady, if meager, profits. Most of its income came from the sale of lots in the city of Sanford. From 1885 until 1890, the company, while remaining solvent, continued to see declining profits. From 1886 to 1890, the profits were so modest that the company declined to pay dividends on its yearly profits. Needed improvements and developments in the city of Sanford during the late 1880s sapped much of the company's income. Following Henry Sanford's death in 1891, many of the investors lost the motivation to continue. On September 15, 1892, the various directors acted to dissolve the company. Its assets, including roughly 65,000 acres of Florida land, were divided among shareholders.

Title Letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford (February 29, 1884) Alternative Title Letter from Trafford to Sanford (Feb. 29, 1884) Subject Sanford (Fla.) Real estate--Florida Description A letter from E. R. Trafford per William Beardall to Henry Shelton Sanford, dated February 29, 1884. In the brief letter, Trafford acknowledges receipt of four signed deeds, as previously requested. Trafford was a company agent for the Florida Land and Colonization Company (FLCC) from 1882 to 1886. He served as the company’s local representative, managing the company office in Sanford, Florida. He was selected by the board of the FLCC, despite resistance from the President and Chairman of the Board, Henry Shelton Sanford.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title General Collection Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Florida was first inhabited by Paleo-Indians as early as 14,000 years ago. By the 16th century, several distinct Native American tribes inhabited present-day Florida, primarily the Apalachee of the Panhandle, the Timucua of North and Central Florida), the Ais of the Central Atlantic Coast, the Tocobaga of the Tampa Bay area, the Calusa of Southwest Florida, and the Tequesta of the Southeast Florida. In 1513, Juan Ponce de León of Spain became the earliest known European explorer to arrive in Florida. During the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, Spanish, French, and English pioneers settled various parts of the states, though not all settlement were successful. Most of the region was owned by Spain, until it was ceded to the United States via the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819. On March 3, 1845, Florida earned statehood. Florida was marred by nearly constant warfare with the Native Americans in the region, particularly with the Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. On January 10, 1861, Florida seceded from the Union and joined the Confederate States of American on January 20th. The state's participation in the Civil War revolved mostly around the transportation of goods via ships. On June 25, 1868, Florida regained its representation in Congress. During the Reconstruction period, Florida drafted a new state constitution, which included statues that effectively disenfranchised its African-American citizens, as well as many poor white citizens. Through much of its early history, Florida's economy relied heavily upon agriculture, especially citrus, cattle, sugarcane, tomatoes, and strawberries. Florida's tourism industry developed greatly with the economic prosperity of the 1920s. However, this was halted by devastating hurricanes in the second half of the decade, the Wall Street Crash of 1929, and the Great Depression. The economy would not fully recover until manufacturing was stimulated by World War II. As of 2014, Florida was the third most populous state in the country. Contributor Humphrey, Daphne F.

The map includes information about towns along the railway, facts about Florida, and hints for potential immigrants. The Florida Southern Railway was established in 1891 when it took over the Gainesville, Ocala and Charlotte Harbor Railroad. Facing foreclosure, the line was acquired by Henry B. Plant (1819-1899) as part of his Plant System in 1892 and reorganized as the Florida Southern Railroad, which stretched from Gainesville to Ocala and then to Punta Gorda. In 1903, the Florida Southern was acquired by the Atlantic Coast Line Railroad (ACL). The ACL merged with the Seaboard Air Line Railroad (SAL) in 1967 to form the Seaboard Coast Line Railroad (SCL). Much of the original ACL lines are now part of the CSX Transportation line, which operates the SCL. Type Still Image Source Original 24-page map, 1888: Matthews, Northrup and Company.

The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government. Today, the building retains its post office services but also includes offices for the Catholic Diocese. Still Image A static visual representation.

Special Delivery began as a mail category in 1885 and ended in 1997, when it was replaced by the Express Mail category. Special Delivery was one of the few exceptions that allowed Sunday deliveries. For an extra postage fee, individuals could ensure a faster delivery of their parcels. Instead of waiting for the next day’s standard delivery route, Special Delivery mail was dispatched as soon as it arrived at the delivering post office. Carriers charged with a Special Delivery package would wear a badge such as this one. Type Physical Object Source Original badge: Private Collection of Texann Ivy Buck.

Title Inspection Report for the Ferndale Post Office (February 26, 1946) Alternative Title Ferndale Post Office Inspection Report Subject Post offices Description An inspection report for the Ferndale Post Office conducted on February 26, 1946. The inspection was conducted by A. F. White, Post Office Inspector for the Bureau of the Chief Inspector. The Ferndale Post Office was roughly 400 square feet and contained 180 mailboxes. The size of the post office reflects the small town nature of Ferndale. In 2009, the post office was closed by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The residents of Ferndale gathered together and successfully petitioned its reopening and the post office is now staffed by local volunteers. This was a compromise between the residents and USPS that helped to mitigate the annual cost of running the small office. Type Text Source Original inspection report by A. F.

In 1838, Fort Gatlin was erected on the shores of Lake Gatlin, just a few miles south of present-day Downtown Orlando. Centered around Church Street, Orlando became a city in 1884. Originally a cattle town, Orlando grew into a major citrus growing center by the 1920s. The city continued to grow during the Great Depression with aid from the Work Progress Administration (WPA). During World War II, Orlando became a major military center as well, with the development of the McCoy Air Force Base and Pinecastle Air Force Base, and with the addition of the Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando in 1968. Downtown Orlando declined in the 1960s and 1970s. Redevelopment began in the 1970s and continued into the 1980s, with projects such as the Church Street Station entertainment complex. In 1998, a building boom began and continued through the 2000s. Contributor Cook, Thomas Cepero, Nancy Lynn Cepero, Laura Lynn Alternative Title Orlando Collection Subject Orlando (Fla.)

In 1935, when James Beggs, Jr. became the postmaster, he began petitioning to move the post office from its Central Boulevard and Court Avenue location to a more spacious building. In 1939, St. James Catholic Church sold a plot of land on Jefferson Street for the new building. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon in the Northern Italian Palazzo Revival-style, and was constructed by J. P. Cullen and Sons. The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government. Today, the building retains its post office services but also includes offices for the Catholic Diocese. Document A resource containing textual data.

For more information see, http://dublincore.org/documents/dces/. Title General Collection Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Florida was first inhabited by Paleo-Indians as early as 14,000 years ago. By the 16th century, several distinct Native American tribes inhabited present-day Florida, primarily the Apalachee of the Panhandle, the Timucua of North and Central Florida), the Ais of the Central Atlantic Coast, the Tocobaga of the Tampa Bay area, the Calusa of Southwest Florida, and the Tequesta of the Southeast Florida. In 1513, Juan Ponce de León of Spain became the earliest known European explorer to arrive in Florida. During the 16th, 17th, 18th, and 19th centuries, Spanish, French, and English pioneers settled various parts of the states, though not all settlement were successful. Most of the region was owned by Spain, until it was ceded to the United States via the Adams–Onís Treaty of 1819. On March 3, 1845, Florida earned statehood. Florida was marred by nearly constant warfare with the Native Americans in the region, particularly with the Seminoles during the Seminole Wars. On January 10, 1861, Florida seceded from the Union and joined the Confederate States of American on January 20th. The state's participation in the Civil War revolved mostly around the transportation of goods via ships. On June 25, 1868, Florida regained its representation in Congress. During the Reconstruction period, Florida drafted a new state constitution, which included statues that effectively disenfranchised its African-American citizens, as well as many poor white citizens. Through much of its early history, Florida's economy relied heavily upon agriculture, especially citrus, cattle, sugarcane, tomatoes, and strawberries. Florida's tourism industry developed greatly with the economic prosperity of the 1920s. However, this was halted by devastating hurricanes in the second half of the decade, the Wall Street Crash of 1929, and the Great Depression. The economy would not fully recover until manufacturing was stimulated by World War II. As of 2014, Florida was the third most populous state in the country. Contributor Humphrey, Daphne F.

Title U.S. Postal Service Florida ZIP Code Directory, 1984 Alternative Title Florida ZIP Code Directory Subject Post offices Description A ZIP code directory for the Central Florida area. This directory was created in June of 1984 and published in November of that same year by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). The directory explains how to use the dictionary, how to use ZIP codes in addresses, and what ZIP codes are. The directory also contains the locations of the various post offices within the Central Florida Area and the various ZIP codes within. Before the implementation of ZIP codes, the U.S. Post Office Department (USPOD) used two-digit postal zones for large cities, beginning in 1943. Postal employee Robert Moon (1917-2011) first suggested a system of ZIP codes in 1944, but the concept was not implemented until 1963, USPOD introduced five-digit ZIP codes, as well as two-letter state abbreviations, nationwide. In 1983, a year before this directory was published, USPS introduced ZIP+4, an expanded ZIP code system with four additional digits to identify a geographic segment within the five-digit ZIP code area.

Description The new Downtown Orlando Post Office building, located at 51 East Jefferson Street, in 1958. The original post office was housed in the Federal Building, located 44 East Central Boulevard in Downtown Orlando, Florida, from 1917 to 1941. In 1935, when James Beggs, Jr. became the postmaster, he began petitioning to move the post office from its Central Boulevard and Court Avenue location to a more spacious building. In 1939, St. James Catholic Church sold a plot of land on Jefferson Street for the new building. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon in the Northern Italian Palazzo Revival-style, and was constructed by J. P. Cullen and Sons. The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government. Today, the building retains its post office services but also includes offices for the Catholic Diocese. Document A resource containing textual data.

Post offices Description A newspaper article discussing the history of the succession of postmasters in Orlando, Florida. The article begins with the administration of E. W. Spier and ends with David R. Laycock. The article also describes the political nature of postmaster appointments through successive presidential administrations. As the political party in the White House changed, so did the postmaster of Orlando, as well. When the incumbent party was re-elected, typically, the postmaster would remain the same. This is what allowed W. R. O'Neal to become Orlando’s longest serving postmaster, to that point. O'Neal served as Orlando’s postmaster during the administration of William McKinley (1843-1901), Theodore Roosevelt (1858-1919), and William Howard Taft (1857-1930).

The original post office was housed in the Federal Building, located 44 East Central Boulevard in Downtown Orlando, Florida, from 1917 to 1941. In 1935, when James Beggs, Jr. became the postmaster, he began petitioning to move the post office from its Central Boulevard and Court Avenue location to a more spacious building. In 1939, St. James Catholic Church sold a plot of land on Jefferson Street for the new building. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon in the Northern Italian Palazzo Revival-style, and was constructed by J. P. Cullen and Sons. The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government. Today, the building retains its post office services but also includes offices for the Catholic Diocese. Document A resource containing textual data.

In 1939, St. James Catholic Church sold a plot of land on Jefferson Street for the new building. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon in the Northern Italian Palazzo Revival-style, and was constructed by J. P. Cullen and Sons. The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government.

Before European settlement, the present-day Tampa area was inhibited by the Tocobaga and Pohoy tribes, which were decimated by European diseases and warfare. In 1824, the U.S. Army established the area's first permanent settlement called Fort Brooke, located at the mouth of the Hillsborough River. Siding with the Confederacy during the American Civil War, Tampa served as the site of the Battle of Tampa, an inconclusive battle from June 30 to July 1, 1862; the Battle of Fort Brooke on October 16, 1862; and the Battle of Ballast Point on October 18, 1863. Incorporated as a town in 1949, Tampa experienced immense growth in the 1880s with the arrival of the railroad, the discovery of phosphate, and the development of the cigar industry. From the 1920s to the 1950s, Tampa became a major center for organized crime, Prohibition-era bootlegging, and illegal bolita, a Cuban-influenced lottery. Tampa grew considerably during World War II, as the city was chosen for the location of MacDill Field, now the MacDill Air Forced Base (AFB).

Andrews (1877-1946) regarding Meyer’s participation in the dedication of the Downtown Orlando Post Office. The original post office was housed in the Federal Building, located 44 East Central Boulevard in Downtown Orlando, Florida, from 1917 to 1941. In 1935, when James D. Beggs, Jr. became the postmaster, he began petitioning to move the post office from its Central Boulevard and Court Avenue location to a more spacious building. In 1939, St. James Catholic Church sold a plot of land of Jefferson Street for the new building. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon in the Northern Italian Palazzo Revival-style, and was constructed by J. P. Cullen & Son. The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government. Today, the building retains its post office services but also includes offices for the Catholic Diocese. Type Text Source Original telegram from Smith W. Purdum to James D.

The original post office was housed in the Federal Building, located 44 East Central Boulevard in Downtown Orlando, Florida, from 1917 to 1941. In 1935, when James D. Beggs, Jr. became the postmaster, he began petitioning to move the post office from its Central Boulevard and Court Avenue location to a more spacious building. In 1939, St. James Catholic Church sold a plot of land of Jefferson Street for the new building. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon in the Northern Italian Palazzo Revival-style, and was constructed by J. P. Cullen & Son. The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government. Today, the building retains its post office services but also includes offices for the Catholic Diocese. Type Text Source Original letter from Charles O. Andrews to J. D.

Description The new Downtown Orlando Post Office building, located at 51 East Jefferson Street, in 1958. The original post office was housed in the Federal Building, located 44 East Central Boulevard in Downtown Orlando, Florida, from 1917 to 1941. In 1935, when James Beggs, Jr. became the postmaster, he began petitioning to move the post office from its Central Boulevard and Court Avenue location to a more spacious building. In 1939, St. James Catholic Church sold a plot of land on Jefferson Street for the new building. The building was designed by Louis A. Simon in the Northern Italian Palazzo Revival-style, and was constructed by J. P. Cullen and Sons. The new building opened in 1941 and housed the post office, the courthouse, and Internal Revenue Service (IRS) offices. The building was named an Orlando Historic Landmark in 1989. However, it was eventually sold back to the St. James Church. In 2003, the building was renovated and came under joint ownership by both the church and the federal government. Today, the building retains its post office services but also includes offices for the Catholic Diocese. Document A resource containing textual data.

Title Methods Handbook: City Delivery Service Mechanization Alternative Title City Delivery Service Mechanization Subject Post offices Description This is a Methods Handbook published and prepared by the Bureau of Operations of the U.S. Post Office Department on August 1, 1958. The mechanization of post offices began in 1956 when the U.S. Post Office Department began researching the coding systems of other countries and developing a system for the United States. The first semiautomatic parcel sorting machine was introduced that same year. The late 1950s also saw the use of the first American-built letter sorter, setting the stage for increased mechanization and automation in the 1960s and 1970s. This handbook centers mostly on postal vehicles and other pieces of equipment utilized to increase efficiency in mail delivery.

In 1838, Fort Gatlin was erected on the shores of Lake Gatlin, just a few miles south of present-day Downtown Orlando. Centered around Church Street, Orlando became a city in 1884. Originally a cattle town, Orlando grew into a major citrus growing center by the 1920s. The city continued to grow during the Great Depression with aid from the Work Progress Administration (WPA). During World War II, Orlando became a major military center as well, with the development of the McCoy Air Force Base and Pinecastle Air Force Base, and with the addition of the Naval Training Center (NTC) Orlando in 1968. Downtown Orlando declined in the 1960s and 1970s. Redevelopment began in the 1970s and continued into the 1980s, with projects such as the Church Street Station entertainment complex. In 1998, a building boom began and continued through the 2000s. Contributor Cook, Thomas Cepero, Nancy Lynn Cepero, Laura Lynn Alternative Title Orlando Collection Subject Orlando (Fla.)

Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. Mosquito County, a massive county south of St. Johns County that consisted of much of Central Florida was established in 1824. In 1845, Mosquito County was renamed Orange County when Florida earned statehood. This new county included present-day Osceola County, Seminole County, Lake County, and Volusia County. Orange County was named so for the area's major fruit crop: oranges. The area was devastated by a freeze during the winter of 1895-1896, which allowed for subsequent land speculators to initiate a land boom in Florida, with Orlando becoming a "boom town." Seminole County separated from Orange on April 25, 1913 and was named for the Seminole tribes that originally inhabited the area. In 1926, Orange County was hit by a hurricane and then by the stock market crash and Great Depression beginning in 1929. Central Florida recovered in the late 1930s and experienced steady growth until 1967. In 1971, Walt Disney World was completed, signaling the beginning of the transformation of the Greater Orlando area into one of the world's major tourist destinations. The citrus industry in the county peaked in the early 1970s, but many groves were destroyed by several freezes during the early 1980s.

Title The Orange County Citizen, Vol. 14, No. 30, July 25, 1911 Alternative Title Orange County Citizen, Vol. 14, No. 30 Subject Orange County (Fla.) Description The Orange County Citizen issue published on July 25, 1911. This edition features articles on Maitland, Florida. Such topics include the various groves in Maitland, the various churches, the Maitland Library, a proposed traction line to be built by the Florida Citrus Railway Company,the residences of several residents, Chadbourne Hall, convict leasing, the cotton industry, the Winter Park Fruit Company, the Orlando Irrigated Farms Company, and the town of Oakland. The Orange County Citizen was originally published as a weekly newspaper by Dr. Geiger (first name unknown) of Apopka, Florida. The paper was known for having a morally sound tone due to its publisher's profession as a Baptist preacher. However, after taking the position of a missionary, Dr. Geiger gave the paper up to A. B. Newton, who represented Winter Garden in the Florida Legislature. Newton kept up the moral tone of The Orange County Citizen, but soon found that he was unable to continue publishing the paper due to his other obligations. Newton then sold the paper to C. E. Howard, who was also the editor of The Orlando Reporter-Star. Under Howard, The Orange County Citizen continued it's moral tendencies and greatly supported Prohibition. Howard continued to run the newspaper weekly for seven years, until he eventually sold it to Arthur Ivey, a reporter for The Reporter-Sentinel. Ivey discontinued publication shortly thereafter.

FLA.. T U E S D A Y . JU L Y 25. CHURCH OF THE GOOD SHEPHERD SPOTS OF INTEREST. “ Lover’ s walk” through the light hammock gap leading out to “ Hiawatha Grove” is a beauty spot, with the festooned moss hanging overhead and the ferns lining the margin of the stream and pathway underneath. “ The Oak Drive” at the entrance to the town from Orlando has always been an enjoyable place. No matter how warm the surrounding roads may be, here under the interlaced oaks it is cool and pleasant and a number of beautiful private parks line the way. The church of the Good Shepherd with the Rectory and Bishop’s house speak volumns or the past. The central lake where once the signmcent sign board warned passers by “ Do not molest the alligators is gradually drying up and sometime will have to be^ converted into a city park to preserve its beauty. lhe Domeric Place” is the greatest and most attractive show place in all this section and many are the visitors who enjoy its beauties. T l i e L a n d o f E n c h a n t m e n t MAITLAND LIBRARY THE PROMISED TRACTION LINE. If there is one thing more than another calculated to bring the Maitland section into greater prominence and favor, as well as into closer connection with the outlying world it is the promised Traction Line soon to be built by the Florida Citrus Railway Company. Every* thing points to actual work soon to commence on this line and the right of way takes in all this section and, as in all localities where trolly or traction lines are inaugurated, this is bound to prove a great developer without in anyway detracting from the comparative seclusion of the winter homes situated back a little from the lines of travel. The people of all this region are looking forward with great hope to the completion of is road not only for the convenience of passenger, traffic and the transportation of their fruit but as a real invigorator and developer of the conutry through which it proposes to pass. M A IT L A N D "HIAWATHA GROVE” LAKES FAITH, HOPE AND CHARITY MAITLAND. P R O P E R T Y OF L. F. D OM E R IC H This artistic structure stands as a monument to the literary and cultivated tastes of the community and is a central point where the citizens of this town for miles around may congregate. The intellectual acumen of the residents of a town must be judged from its churches, libraries and schools and for a small community Maitland has its own testimonials to which it points with pride. THE THREE GRACES Lakes Faith, Hope and Charity are delightful sheets of water, whose undulating banks and many reflectively hued waters delight the senses, viewed from the property of Mrs. Massey on the hill-side just beyond, where the accompanying picture was taken. I T S R E A S O N FOR B E IN G The Lake Maitland section enjoys the distinction of being the earliest of Orange county almost entirely located by orange growers and winter resident residents from the north. Its ideal location easily tempted the new comer and the charm of that early day has not departed. From the short stop of the cars at the railway station the casual traveler through the state wonld not guess that but a short distance away in almost any direction there are as fine orange groves and comfortable homes as can be found anywhere in the state. But it is the natural scenery that captivates those who are fortunate enough to while away a little time in and about this truly beautiful spot. Lake Maitland itself is a superb body of water and, for that matter, there are other lakes about that are really gems of the first water. Delightful drives connect the town with handsome estates and with Winter Park, Altamonte Springe, Sanford, Orlando and elsewhere. The town is well shaded with magnificent oaks and as the entire section is on the margin of Lake Maitland most of the growth is of a semi-hammock nature, beautiful and rich in character. The Turners, the Heards, the Hills, the Simmons, the :*j ays, Darts, Waterhouse and < :Ur'A were One of the most entrancing spots in all the State of Florida is the beautiful “ Hiawatha Grove,” the magnificent estate of Mr. L. F. Domerich of Ne#’ York City, covering hundreds of acres of park and grove, lake and woodland. Here Nature has certainly done her best, as the splendid examples of rarewood trees and shrubs demonstrate* and to ail that Nature has supplied Mr. Domerich, with the appreciative eye of a connoisseur, has added on every hand artistic groupings of rare palms and plants with an endless va* riety of most beautiful flowers. Crowning all there rises amid the towering pines the imposing structure which for a few months is occupied by Mr. Domerich as a winter home. Here he gathers about him on occasions his family and intimate friends and reaps a rich harvest of pleasure for the wealth of time, skill and money he lavishes upon this Eden on Earth. To attempt an adequate description of this fascinating spot would require the eye of an artist and the tongue of an angel. The camera, truthful though it is, can scarce portray the real beauty of the surroundings. But, without doubt, there is here gathered almost every variety of tropical and sub-tropical tree, shrub and flower, as well as those of the temperate zone. Three immense greenhouses and plant houses ■ *hi." beautiful pl*Ct3» «*kd here on occasions v.ere his ;niniltrack ns^ given. The residence occupied by him is just across the way. GROUP BEAUTIFUL GROUP ON MINATURE LAKE, HIAWATHA GROVE OF PALMS, HIAWATHA GROVE closely identified with the making of the place. Mr. Edward Turner started a general store on the ground Jfloor of the “ Hall” in 1879, before the railroad made its appearance. At that time the church services were held in the “ Hall,” the first churches built being the Methodist and Catholic. The “ Hall” was the center for all the social gatherings, people coming as far as Apopka to occasional entertainments. The railroad brought new conditions, but Maitland lias retained all af her early attractiveness and the people tliere-about are among Orange county’ s best. BEAUTIFUL LAKE FRONTING CHADBOURNE HALL are required to preserve the more delicate specimens, and everywhere are seen those of a more mature or hardier growth. The pictures herein attempt to show a portion of the mansion and groups of palms, with a beautiful mirror lake, in which grow the most rare and delicate pond lilies of several varieties and hue. Mr. Domerich has been of great service in the promotion of an Audubon Society for the protection of birds in Florida, and is a patron of the town library and one of its officers.

WALTER DRENNEN’ S SANDSPUR GROVE. “ THE SANDSPUR GROVE” OW N E D BY W A L T E R D R E N N E N On the shores of Lakes Faith, Hope and Charity there is one of the largest orange grovqs in this section. Known far and widfc as “ The Sandspur Grove,” and once tfcq pride of the late Dr. Henkel, who^sold it a year or more ago to Mr. WalteTT^tf-enneii, it covers all together 205 acres, 145 acres of which are in large bearing trees. It is simply bewildering to attempt to traverse this large area of trees, ladened with the golden fruit. Here are 5,000 orange -trees, 3,000 grapefruit and 500 tangerine trees. The ground being flat, there is no way to give an adequate photographic idea of the property. The long photograph above gives a bird’s-ej^e view of about half of the length of the groves, viewed distance, embracing an angle degrees, whereas the average graph takes in but 75 degrees. The smaller photograph, gives a very good idea of the beautiful i entrance through the property between i the rows of bearing trees. This grove has seen some prosper- j ous days in the past, but under .■ifesl capable and intelligent management •> Mr. Drennen, the present propriety it bids fair to surpass in the futun — record of other years. tic MAHItHI from a of 140 photo C. B. THURSTON’ S WINTER HOME. herein, GALLOWAY AND SON, MERCHANTS. Maitland does not profess to be a great business center, but there are several merchandising establishments and among them that of Messrs. Galloway and Sons. It is the only store we were privileged to photograph, and occupies a prominent location on the main road fronting the Atlantic Coast Line railroad. The Galloways are comfortably situated and are an essential feature in the business life of Maitland. ____ mmm MRS. E. MASSEY’ S RESIDENCE. What )LiiAhord^ms/had a past. General Grant, oi^ his Florida trip, said that Maitland was the most beautiful spot he had seen. Its beauty has not vanished. It is still an ideal spot. It is not made enough of. Its citizens are quite content and happy. But in truth, there is here one of the greatest opportunities for a line downto- date tourist hotel, with a manager who has some conception of the possibilities of the place, a spirit of modern advancement about him and the capacity for taking care of people. Think of what such a place would be on some point on Lake Maitland, where tlu scenery is at its best and where the broad lake would stretch before one with plenty of opportunity for the pastime of boating, etc. If some capitalist could be encouraged to go into this there would be a great stir in old Maitland and whereas a few hundred persons enjoy the beauty of the place during the winter, thousands of happy folks would throng her streets. H. A. B R IE N IN G ’S H OM E . United States Mail Carriers are constantly on the go but they must have a home somewhere. Mr. H. A. Briening elected to make a home in this place and has a comfortable house in a cool location on the public road, well suited to his business. RESIDENCE OF MISSES DART. Misses Emma and Mary Dart own a beautiful residence in Maitland, and for years the family has been closely identified with the social and intellectual interests of the place. The ladies have been among the state’ s ablest and most honored educators, having had charge of some of the most important schools in Orange and other counties. For several years they superintended the Apopka schools, and in relinquishing the work this year for a period of rest, the schools of the county are loosers. The Misses Dart are spending the summer in Canada and we understand their home in Maitland is for sale. H. A. BRIENING’ S HOME. INDUSTRIES. Essentially a residence section and largely a winter resort, the industrial feature has perhaps taken second place in Maitland. The residents have mostly been persons of means who do not depend upon anything grown or produced in the neighborhood. Thus far, there has been no market gardening but the fruit industry ranks high. Oranges and fruit are staple crops, unfailing and high class. There are many fine groves within and about the town limits. The shores of Lake Maitland particularly contain several extensive groves wThile the other lakesides add largely to the output. Grapes have been and are still grown extensively. Some of the finest table grapes in the state are raised hereabout and so adapted is this immediate section to grape growing that there is no doubt but if attention were turned to that industry good prices could be obtained in northern markets. As it is, the home markets consume the product at 10 cents per quart. Experiments have been made with several nut growing trees and with olives, the former a success but not so with the latter. POSTOFFICE. The Postmaster at Maitland has gone to considerable more trouble and expense than usual in a small community to provide a neat and convenient building for postoffice purposes. The office is located on the corner of the principal streets, well shaded by immense oaks, and presents an inviting appearance. Postmaster Harris Doyle is a stirring man for the place. MRS. MASSEY'S RESIDENCE Situated high up on a sightly knoll fronted by Lakes Faith, Hope and Charity, and a lake in the rear, is the large and beautiful residence of Mrs. E. M. Massey, who bought the place a few years ago and has greatly improved the house and surroundings. Commanding a view in every direction, and on the main road between Orlando and Sanford, it is a noted land-mark to all who pass that way. One is fortunate indeed if he may sit upon the broad verandas enjoying the magnificent view and the invigorating air that the elevation commands, and if he can get a glimpse of “ The Three Graces” from the third floor window he will be doubly thankful for an opportunity to rise above the ordinary flats of Florida. MRS. TU R N E R ’S P R O P ER TY . The name of Turner is a familiar one in the history of Maitland. The late Mr. Turner came to the place thirty-odd years ago, and opened one of the first stores for the sale of general merchandise, which business he followed for years. The Turner residence is very near the station on one of the most beautiful streets. The house stands in a fiveacre lot, pleasantly back from the street, allowing ample space for the ornamental trees and shrubs which makes this place so attractive. An orange grove of" 300 trees surrounds the house on three sides, and a little woodsy land at the back is left to - nature. Mrs. Turner owns various other properties in Maitland. P O IN S E T T A PLACE. Mrs. L. P. Bronsou comes from Marquette, Mich., every winter and remains until late summer at her attractive home, Poinsetta Place, being one of several fine winter homes fronting one of the handsome^ shaded streets of the town. This is one of Maitland’ s beauty spots; the shrub, flowers and rare trees surrounding the house lending great beauty and charm. T H E P R E S B Y T ER IA N C H U R C H . MA.T. J. S. SIMMONS’ HOME. hot thirty-five years Major J. S. Simmons has ca'led Maitland his home. Being himself now seventy-five years of age he has lived to see the place and surroundings grow from almost nothing to one of the most fruitful and beautiful localities in Florida. The Major has devoted all this time to orange growing and business^and is about the best known man in all this section. The Presbyterian Church of Maitland was organized in 1883 and has been a factor of importance in this religious community. The present elders are Major J. S. Simmons and G. E. Hudson and the deacons, Wm. Pringle and J. H. Bear. S. B. h il l ’ s home. Mr. S. B. Hill graduated from the East Florida Seminary, attended Vanderbilt University and fitted himself for the law and was admitted to practice but preferred to follow orange growing and merchandising. He has something like 18 acres in orange groves and conducts a large general store. Hi - new residence is a handsome structure and a pleasant home for his wife and family of three daughters and one son. G. E. H U D S O N ’S PLACE .■aa— Ssw graves are irrigated by iThproven ods. He is a Cm ken fancier, having several valuable strains. Also he takes pride in raising a fine breed of hogs. Both are represented in the picture made in front of his house on the lake side. A. A. S T O N E ’S O R A N G E GROVE PINEYCROFT. Mr. John McCollough recently built his fine modern residence, overlooking Lake Maitland, coming from Minneapolis. He has a large estate here covering about 185 acres, 25 acres of which are in orange groves. This is one of the most beautiful locations on the lake. A. A. Stone and son are the owners of a fine twenty-five-acre grove comprising almost every known variety of citrus fruit. They have made a specialty of King and Tangerine varieties in the thin skin oranges and Pineapple in the regular fruit. They are also specialists in fine grapefruit, nearly all the trees in their grove being budded to the very finest. They were among the first orange growers in the county to have a large show of bearing trees succeeding the great freeze. Mr. Stone has been in Florida for the past twenty-eight years and is located near to Lakes Faith, Hope and Charity, a very choice location. There are two comfortable two-story houses on the place, a large barn, an irrigating plant, and almost every variety of fruit, besides grapes, pecans, etc. The Messrs. Stone are well known men of character and stability. “ C H A D B O U R N E H A L L . ” Chadbourne Hall is a beautiful place located on a sightly knoll on Lake Catherine. E. P. Boynton and family have been coming to this pleasant wintering spot from their Boston home for the past twenty years and it holds out as many delightful charms now as ever. A G R E A T O P P OR TU N ITY .* The Turner property is for sale as Mrs. Turner does not wish to care for so much. The home place contains five acres and includes the house as pictured in another column. Grove of 300 trees, barn, large two story store and a market- house. A small piece of wild land borders the grove. Another five-acre lot set with 300 orange, grapefruit and tangerine trees and which contains a small cottage will be sold on easy terms. Write to or call on Mrs. E. Turner. Maitland, Fla. THE ELY WINTER HOME. The Misses Mary and*Clara M. Ely have a delightful grove and residence on the hillside at the entrance to the town. Mr. E. M.

So far as The Citizen is concerned, it has been a “ good old summer time,” sure enough. When an editor undertakes to get up a series of articles covering the county, and does his own photographing and everything pertaining to the job, he is plumb sure to have a good hot old time of it. But every time we hand out one of our “ extras” we feel the game is worth the candle and that notwithstanding the trouble and the cost, we have put on record a good work. Thus far we have illustrated Winter Garden, Oakland, Apopka, Lake Sue, and now we take pleasure in producing Maitland. Our next venture will be Zellwood and that great Lake Apopka region recently acquired by the Florida Orange and Truck Farms Company and now being opened for settlement. Following that will be the most complete of-the whole series, a magnificent picture gallery of beautiful Winter Park. We have also under way several Orlando sections, which are so far along that it is only a matter of getting the work out, but we feel that there is plenty of time between now and winter to perspire over the job. pie and we believe’that this generous spirit has gone far to make for its success as a whole. We would not have it said of us, as we have heard of others: “ That town is all made up of factions and cliques, constantly at war with each other.” Good Lord, deliver us! C O N V IC T L E A S E . Anybody who doubts the wisdom of abolishing State Convict Lease and turning the convicts into state road builders, should study the situation in Georgia, says the Tampa Tribune, quoting the Atlanta Constitution. It is shown that there are now 131 counties working ^convict^ on the public rbads and that since the abolition of the lease system in 1909 the death rate among the convicts has decreased appreciably. Orlando Citizen : A letter from Cromwell Gibbons, of Jacksonville, informs us of his candidacy for governor. The letter is on file and we are waiting until the lists are full. The Citizen will be for a strictly anti-convict lease man and will work to that end, as other papers in state will do. Now Y o u ’ re T a l k in g .—Tampa Tribune. That short sentence sounds good to us. Not that we are so much pleased with our talk, but that the Tribune sounds out loud enough to be heard. Gibbons may be all right, Trammell may be the man, Angle may do, some other may be better. We don’ t care where he hails from, so he is a good man and stands flat footed against convict lease.

Orlando has as much of the spirit of “ Live and let live” as any other city of its size. Perhaps the new blood constantly being infused into it does not permit the old blood to become envious and hateful. True, there may be a poor, narrow individual, here and there, who would rather kill the chance of his neighbor’ s securing a share of life than in any way add to it. But for the most part, Orlando is free from factions, whose business it might be to destroy the chance of another, add as a rule its business men are generous and fair-minded to each other. We have always held to the idea that unless provoked by the evident hostility of another, it were better for one’ s business to attend Strictly to paddling his own little canoe, rather than try to run across anothers’ course. The man who cannot strike cut on a line distinct and successfully, deserves defeat, even though he may also deserve one’ s pity. Individuality in any line and a determination to hand out the best goods, the best product of the hand or brain, is bound to tell, and the man or the firm who does this has no room in his life for petty jealousy or envy of the little his neighbor manages to wrest or sneak out of life. A man may compete without the cultivation of a rancorous spirit toward his competitor, and there is such a thing as living at one’ s level best and yet letting the other fellow live. As we have said, Orlando is mostly made up of this sort of peo- It has left an impression as of a remarkably vivid scenic moving picture creation; clean streets; g 1 e a m i n g buildings embowered in profusion of thick shade; gardens of palms and flowers; orange groves, amid the dark green foliage of which flamed here and there surviving bits of golden fruit; symmetrical lakes (fourteen within the limits of the town) of clear, placid water which added doubly to the surrounding beauty, as every object on the circling shore was mirrored in the tranquil sea: roads of clay and sand and macadam, bending to fit the curve of a shore or winding to thread the tangle of virgin woods festooned with moss; and autos, autos to suit the luring highways. For the size of the town (Orlando has a population of nearly eight thousand) it is said that there are more automobiles here than in any other place in Florida. The people were cordial, hospitable, wellto- do, and resourceful in the entertainment of their Conference guests.—Editor Epworth Era.

New Clay Roads and Repairs of old. Cotton Growing. A great deal of interest is awakened in the question as to whether cotton can be made a staple crop in Florida, and by the efforts of the Board of Trade of Orlando a meeting was arranged for in Apopka for the 26th of this month. The day will be one of interest both as a visit to the town of Apopka and in viewing the large acreage of cotton growing there this year. Those who have seen it speak in glowing terms of the success so far and the possibilities of it for the farmer in connection with other things. The man who puts all his eggs in one basket makes a mistake. The farmer of today, and especially the Florida farmer, should raise a variety of crops, then if one fails, some of the others will furnish him his living. Cotton raising is no new thing for Orange county nor for the Park. Along in 1880 to 1890 there were acres of it raised about here and a cotton gin was built between the Park and Orlando. It is said by those who saw the cotton growing, that the product of an acre was equal to that of Georgia and the quality as good if not better. Men who have made a careful estimate say that the net income from an acre of cotton will be between $40 and $60, the gross not being over from $50 to $75. This is probably a conservative estimate and there are possible conditions of soil and location which would increase this net income. It is easy to count chickens before they are hatched, but any man with ten acres of cotton, five acres of an orange and grapefruit grove and a good garden spot for his house supplies, can easily count on an income of from $1,000 to $1,500 per year net. This means that a man must hustle, watch every opportunity both in growing, harvesting and marketing his product! We are hoping that many of the farmers and citizens of the Park will attend the Apopka meeting, see the cotton growing, hear what is to be said and enjoy the barbecue provided. Mr. M. M. Smith spent last Friday night in Oviedo, with Mr. and Mrs. Harvey Moore. Mr. Smith has large business interests in and about Oviedo and still larger interests in the eastern part of the county bordering on the Econlockhatchie and St. Johns rivers. Few men in this world come to the time in life when they feel like laying down the more active duties with as fine a record as that of Dr. Thomas Rakestraw Baker, who has closed his work with Rollins and left the Park for Chicago. Twenty years of conscientious service at Rollins has given Dr. Baker a reputation second to none. Hundreds of students who have passed under his instruction and in touch with his noble character, have cause to be thankful for that opportunity. As a citizen in Winter Park Dr. Baker has fully supported all the best interests and leaves with every one a friend. We regret his leaving but memory will always hold him dear and a hearty welcome will be his whenever he returns. He will for the present make his home with his son, Norman Lockyer Baker, who is a civil engineer in Chicago and his address will be 212 West 51st Ave, Chicago, 111. Argument waxed warm in the Park one evening last week when the tariff and other questions were under discussion. The neighbors rolled over in bed to listen and some of them went to take part in the fray. One wanted tariff for revenue only but wanted Florida oranges and other fruit protected by a special tax against Cuban and Portorican fruit, another didn’ t want a tariff and if Florida fruit was knocked out would go to raising peanuts, and so it went on until it developed that all of them wanted a fair tariff and none of them would be without a tariff of some kind. Well it was grand to listen to the coming orators .whose voices rose on the evening air. The best of it was that all was serene and pleasant all through, and at its close every one agreed excepting the other fellow and all went to bed happy, each one thinking they had scored a victory. Now we submit that this is a fair summary of tariff discussions all over the country. Meanwhile the tariff question is settling itself through the better judgment of both parties for there is a modicum of common sense left in the country to save the day. Mr. and Mrs. J. H. Hale are made happy by the advent of another voter on the Winter Park list. He is hale and hearty and congratulations are in order. Mrs. C. D. Powell returned last Friday evening from her visit in Coleman and vicinity among old friends. Mr. Powell went over with her but returned home early in the week. Mrs. Sarah A. Burke is spending a week at Coronada Beach, enjoying the ocean breezes and trying salt water bathing. There is nothing like it to put the roses on ones cheeks, without it is a good snow ball well rubbed in. The large piece of ground on Livingston avenue has been mowed and raked and the pine straw used to repair the road on the avenue. This ground belongs to • Metcalf Bros., of Chicago, and it is their intention to build upon it some day soon. It will make a good building spot as it looks out over Lake Virginia on the south. Mr. L. H. Roberts left early Wednesday morning last, on the midnight train for Stony Brook, N. Y. His sons and Miss Margaret Dunham went with him. Miss Dunham going to her home in Basking Ridge, N. J. Mr. Roberts will spend a couple of months with his mother, who has a fine home on the Long Island shore, and return to the Park about the time of college opening. It is not generally known that Hon. Henry S. Chubb was highly honored at the time of President and Mrs. William H. Taft’ s silver wedding by an invitation. This invitation Mr. Chubb is to have framed so that it can be handed down to his children’ s children. Leland Jr., is sure to get it in time to show to his little folks. This notice of one of our valued Park citizens is appreciated and we congratulate him upon the possession of such an invitation. We notice an account of the passing of Mrs. J. C. Stineman, in last weeks issue, at South Fork, Pa., where they have a beautiful country home. Mr. and Mrs. Stineman were in the Park in May, the day they were to start for the north and friends here will be sorry to learn this sad news. The Stineman home at the “ Ripples,” on the east road to Orlando is one of the most delightful Villas in the Park. Our hearty sympathy goes out to Mr. Stineman and the remaining members of the family. F. W. Shepherd has looped the loop and returned to the Park. Mrs. Shepherd is with her mother in Virginia and will stay several weeks longer. Mr. Shepherd attended several sessions of the National Convention of the Christian Endeavor Society at Atlantic City. The Convention was held in a large auditorium on the million dollar pier, a delightful place for such a gathering during the heated spell of that week. He estimates that there were about four thousand in attendance the evening he was there. Mr. Shepherd holds important positions in the city, being a member of the City Council aud President of the Winter Park Fruit Co. Among the many changes in the Park, in the way of improvement, during the past year, is the clearing of the property owned by Mr. C. H. Morse, on Lake Osceola, at the northern end of Puloiver Circle. It is a revelation to many who did not appreciate the beauty of the site. All the scrub, pine stumps and general debris, has been removed and it is today one of the most inviting spots on any of our lakes. This is another evidence of the interest which Mr. Morse is taking in our town improvement and adornment. The triangular piece directly across from this property be-> tween Pulsifer Circle and Webster avenue, Mr. Morse has given to the city for one of its parks. This-triangle Mr. Morse is having fenced and when Webster avenue is clayed as it is expected will be done, it will all add to the attraction of this portion of Winter Park. Winter Park Fruit Co. Another orange packing season will soon be with us and we call especial attention to the arrangements made for it in the Park. They are about ideal and should be thoroughly appreciated by every grower in this vicinity. There will be no change in the methods of sorting, packing and shipping at the Winter Park Fruit Company Packing House, but every effort will be made to maintain the reputation gained during the past two years when the house and business was operated and conducted by the Wilcardo Fruit Co. The fruit from the Association connected with the Florida Citrus Exchange will be packed by the Winter Park Fruit Co., and fruit from independent groves will be received and packed with the same care. We are informed that anyone who desires to have an independent pack can ship under their own brand if they desire to do so. The company have secured the services of Mr. Harold Bourne as Manager, and this will insure good work as Mr. Bourne has been associated with the packing house since it was built and is familiar with all the details of the business. He has shown himself a capable manager, always watchful of the individual growers interest as well as fchrfse of the company. With Commodore G. L. Dyer as president and Mr. Bourne as General Manager of the Winter Park Fruit Co., there will surely be every reason for confidence in the company. The Winter Park Fruit Growers Association, Mr. F. W. Shepherd President, has decided to pool all their interests for the coming season is well received and will largely increase the membership. We printed a copy of the notice sent out by the Manager telling of the decision to pool and stating that there would be three pools, the first for early December fruit, December 10th, second from December 11th to February 10th, and third from February 11th to close of season. Anyone acquainted with the run o f the markets the past seasons will see the fairness of this arrangement. It is a mutual insurance as to the price to be received and a guarantee of equal sharing in the prices obtained. We feel sure that if this is understood by the growers of Winter Park and vicinity, there will be no hesitation in joining the Association, and so HecdmTiiTg Yffc'mmirs of the Florida Citrus Exchange^ We would call especial attention to the article in last weeks issue, written by Commodore G. L. Dyer, headed ; Winter Park Fruit Growers Associaion.” Some ihiiK- said should be repeated and studied ;refully. He says: “ A? ooon as the California Citrus Exchange got on its feet, citrus property in that state began to take on standard values, and could be sold at a price based on its actual productivity. Here the value of citrus bearing property is capricious and will continue to be until the Exchange contract- a majority of the fruit in the state.” One of the valuable assets to Florida is its Citrus Fruit bearing groves. Anything which will give them stability and fix a firm basis of values is worth considering. This we believe the Florida Citrus Exchange can and will do. We note that Commodore Dyer added, “ It is evident from the sales taking place all over the state, that this desired condition is arriving aud it is due, so far. to the success of the Exchange. It will come more rapidly when pooling is general.” A letter from Mr. F. W. Howard, Belding’ Mich., reports that Miss Mabel and her mother, who have spent two winters in the Park, have been well since they went north, but the severe heat and sudden change has brought Miss Mabel “ somewhat under the weather at the present time.” They are kindly remembered by friends in the Park, who expect to see them again another winter. An item of news which will be of interest to every citizen of the Park was received last Friday. Mr. C. H. Morse of Winter Park, and Mrs. Helen Piffard were married in New Haven, at the home of the brides sister, Mrs. W. W. Farnum, at noon that day. The marriage was a quiet one, only members of the two families being invited. Mr. and Mrs. Morse are now on the Ocean, on the Steamer Olympic, and will spend three months abroad. Many in the Park became acquainted with Mrs. Morse who was here for several months last winter as Mrs. Piffard and all wish them bon-voyage, a pleasant trip on the continent and safe return ' to home and country. Mrs. Morse is a ' cousin of Mrs. G. L. Dyer, which adds to the interest. Heartiest congratula- I tions are extended to them both.

Miss Merrill was accompanied by her grandmother, Mrs. Roberts. Mr. Albert Hopkins recently purchased from Mr. F. H. Davis the property adjoining Mr. Davis’ home. Mr. Hopkins expects to make extensive improvements on the house and place; plastering the house and will build an addition and put in imining water. This will greatly enhance the value and beauty of the place. It also assures Apopka that Mr. aud Mrs. Hopkins will make this their permanent winter home of which we are very glad.

Orlando Irrigated Farms Company. The above Company has secured 600 acres of the very finest farm and fruit lands adjacent to Orlando and has cleared out streets north and south, east and west and sub-divided this vast tract into five acre farms at prices ranging from $100 to $200 per acre, according to location. A #12,000 water plant has been contracted for with a double set of engines and pumps and an ample capacity elevated tank, sufficient to supply a maximum of 600 gallons per minute. An inexhaustable supply of pure, soft water is at hand and will be piped from the pumping station to all the streets in the tract in eight inch pipes, when it mav be extended any where on the tract. Thus, each purchaser of a five acre farm becomes a part owner in the water plant, which will be turned over to the people on the tract as soon as a sufficient number of places have been sold; meanwhile it will be operated by the company under a guarantee. The chief advantages are: Plenty of room; Reasonable prices; Pure soft water; Irrigation; On public roads; On City line; But no City taxes; Best of soil; No waste land. For business men, clerks and workmen this opens up a most attractive opportunity for a fine home place near to the city and with every possible convenience, where one can place improvements on his own home at odd times and gradually make of it what he wills. While this fine proposition is open to all people, at home or abroad, it is confidently expected that home people will be ready investors. See This Splendid Tract. Note That It Has been Tried Out.

However, there is no existing evidence of a newspaper called The Lake Maitland Advertiser ever being published. In fact, there is no evidence of a local newspaper existing in Maitland other than The Maitland Courier in the 1800s. However, from the partial front page, it is evident that the name of the paper does begin with "Lake Maitland," and from the articles and advertisements it is clearly a Maitland newspaper. Some topics discussed in this issue include baby smokers, street searches, winter-blooming roses, speaking dolls, Jennings' Business College, news and notes for women, fruit culture in South Florida, Japanese dining sets, Roman togas, and the spoiling of watches.

Prior to the erection of the new building, the business had for many years occupied an old frame structure adjoining the depot, which was one of the landmarks on the Dixie Highway. The new building is of large propositions, approximately 50 x 125 feet, two full stories in height, the second floor being devoted to modern apart ments. The large store room is divided in the middle lengthwise by a semi-partition, separating the grocery department from the dry goods, men's wear, shoes, and BANK OF MAITLAND OPENED IN MARCH GIVING MAITLAND FIRST BANKING INSTITUTION E.

For a long time the business men and citizens generally of Maitland had realized a pressing need for a bank, but no one seemed to want to take the initiative in organizing one. Finally the matter was brought to the attention of W. B. Joiner, president of the Union State Bank in Winter Park, and “Bill”, as his friends know him, came out to Maitland and secured subscriptions for the entire capital stock in one afternoon, which is indicative of how much the people of Maitland really wanted a bank, and Mr. Joiner subsequently brought about the organization of the bank, and continues as one of its directors. The new bank opened up for business in its own building, which they built as its stock-holders wanted it. And a most attractive and up-to-date banking plant it is too. The outer walls are of plaster finish on hollow tile, the building bank near the entrance, and adjoining the grilled enclosure behind which active business with the patrons of the bank is carried on. Directly giving off the lobby at the rear is the customers’ room and adjoining that a store room and the big vault, with directors’ room and consultation room on the mez- zaine floor above. The vault is of massive reinforced concrete construction, with | heavy solid time-locked outer door. Within the vault is the manganese steel safe, also time-locked, with a 12-inch solid steel door, and and also within the vault are customers’ private safety deposit boxes. The partitions are of a most attractive pattern and type, in a combination of marble, mahogany and glass, with brass grill work, and there are three service windows, for use of a cashier, teller and book-keeper. The main banking-room has a high beamed ceiling, and in all its appointments (Continued on page 5) wiring for Rtfland G. Barze’ new home, also the wiring and most of the fixtures in the homes of G. W. Powers and E. S. Galt. They also did the wiring in the fine new j home of B. L. Maltbie, Altamonte Springs, which is 100 per cent elec- trcial, and the wiring and fixtures in the Kenney Brothers new house also electrical throughout. The swimming pool at Sanlando Springs connecting single and three-phase motors is another sample of their work. The new Parker home, 100 percent electrical and the wiring and fixtures for the Bank of Maitland and J. A. Brown’s new store were all done by the Maitland Electric Shop, all of them giving evidence of workmanship of the highest order. Brown’s Store Gives Maitland a Store of The Big City Type ■ mm One of the business institutions in Maitland that the entire community is proud of is “Brown’s Store,” which someone has aptly called “a city store in a small town.” The business of which “Brown’s Store is the direct successor began and has been successfully operated ever since, in 1868. Mr. Brown bought the business from Mr. S. B. Hill, an old and respected citizen who still resides in Maitland, and became its owner and active manager May 22, 1921. The splendid new brick building in which the business is now housed was built last year at a on and is an Elk, and withal a good citizen, the type of man that it takes to make good community, and the sort that MaitNnd is welcoming to her midst. Maitland Plumbing Company Has Grown With City’s Progress One oi the most recent institutions that has come into business life of Maitland is the Maitland Plumbing Co., of which Mr. C. D. Horner is manager. But owing to the great need of an efficient plumbing institution, and because of the fact that Mr. Horner knows how good plumbing should be done, and does it that way, his business has grown from the start and bids fair to become one of the most important plumbing businesses in the county. Mr. Horner has done the plumbing work in a great many of the best homes that have been built in and around Maitland since he began business here, among them the homes of L. T. Wileox, Clarence Brown, L L. Coudert and R. C. Wheeler in Maitland, also a good many in Altamonte Springs, including the home of Major B. L. Maltbie, which i one of the show places of that city. Maitland, the site of the old fort built in the days of the Indian Wars on the shores of the beauti- I ful lake which bears its name, was settled some fifty years ago by a group of people who wanted homes where they could escape the cold of the northern winters and enjoy life amid beautiful surrounding’s and congenial people. Such has been the ideal of the inhabitants of this little town ever since that day. Rather than risk spoiling its atmosphere by exploitation and forced development it has been left to develop along its own lines. Today, although it lies on the Dixie j Highway, only seven miles north of Orlando, the metropolis of central j Florida, and its corporate limits ! touch those of Winter Park, it has continued essentially a country toWn in spirit and surroundings. The shady, winding roads skirting its fourteen lakes, the well- cared for orange groves in the I heart of the town itself, the ample ground found about even the smallest cottage, give a welcome sense of space and freedom. Here is an ideal home for the man who has retired from active life and wishes to live comfortably on a moderate income. Land prices are comparatively low, living expenses are small, and by raising a garden, fruit and poultry one cai\, reduce them still pic v qtk cour try • ' bWtfry :i scenery, a q? an ot water sports are here combined with the best aspects of town life, &s modern conveniences, congenial neighbors, a well-organized public library, social life in church and club, while the proximity to Winter Park and Orlando gives the opportunities in the way of shops, theatres and music found only in large cities. Or, for the man who is working in the city but wishes to bring up his family amid natural and simple surroundings, there is here an opportunity for a suburban home, which, besides the benefits alreat r mentioned, offers excellent educ tional advantages. The Maitla d public school, housed in a new building, situated in large and beautiful grounds, stands at the head of the rural schools of Orange County in general standards, health work and other lines of activity. A Boy Scout Troop and Girl’s Sewing Club are doing- excellent work among the children. Only two miles away in Winter Park is located one of the best high schools in the state, and also Rollins College, Florida’s oldest institution of higher learning, co-edu- cational and inter-denominational. The healthful climate, comparatively high altitude, the unexcelled opportunity for motoring over the splendid roads of Orange County, the lakes with their high, wooded shores offering beautiful home sites and all kinds of water sports, the nearness to Winter Park, which boasts three of the best golf courses in the state, and provides for its visitors the finest lectures and music, and the congenial winter community of the town itself makes Maitland an ideal place for a winter residence. But Maitland has more to offer than beautiful home sites. Both in the town and throughout the surrounding country, the land is of the finest type for citrus culture, as the old groves found on many of the Maitland estates testify. In addition to the citrus land there is along the shores of the lakes and streams splendid land for trucking. By draining and irrigating, both of which are easily accomplished, here, many crops can be raised during the year, and the local markets are very insufficiently provided with fresh vegetables. Good dairy land can be found in this vicinity, but the north. Here is a rich opportunity for an energetic young doctor to establish practice. Property values are increasing and trading in real estate is active. Persons with capital -and vision will | find ample scope for sound invest- ! ments in citrus land, fern and I truck land as well as lake fronts and subdivision tracts. No town in all Florida has more charming home sites or better facilities for building. The materials are ready at hand, brick and building blocks being made by local cement plants, sash, doors and other mill work being manufactured in the Maitland novelty works, while lumber and other supplies are carried by the local supply company. Building experts and skilled labor not ifound in Maitland are to be ob- | tained from near-by towns. It is the ambition of the present | citizenry of Maitland to build a dignified and progressive town with a unified community of inter- White Way Building, Maitland, Florida the two industries, which seem most popular now, are poultry raising and fern-growing*. Maitland is in the midst of a poultryraising center which includes Seminole and Orange counties. Both counties have active Poultry Associations and are instituting a form of co-operative buying and marketing which is proving very successful. A number of large poultry farms are located near here, but the Association so far has not been able to provide sufficient eggs for Orlando alone. Fern-growing is becoming a very important and profitable industry in Florida, the land and climatic conditions in this part of Orange County being especially adapted for this purpose. One of the chief fern-raising districts of the state is located on one of Maitland’s rural routes. There is considerable opportunity for business enterprise within the town itself. A resort hotel on one of the lakes and a small commercial hotel are much needed. There is no drug store within twelve miles to the east, ten miles to the west, and eighteen miles to est, promoting the best in American citizenship. To this end the i town council has appointed a special tax commission, a town-planning and zoning commission. The people of Maitland are at one with the town council in ef- | forts to forward the best interests of the town, and the Maitland Chamber of Commerce will | promptly answer any inquiries.

Hill, President and General Manager of Maitland Realty Company Guiding Destiny of Gardens Maitland! One of the most beautiful suburbs of Orlando, lying On the Dixie Highway, seven miles tc the north The history of Maitland is replete with human interest. Its early settlers contributed heavily trial development, descendants of those hearty pioneers of more than fifty years ago, are “ carrying on” with the determination of making Maitland prominent in Florida’s great future. Settled more than a half century ago by a group of people who wished to escape the rigors of a northern climate, Maitland grew up around the site of an old fort, an outpost in the days of the Indian wars, situated on the shores of beautiful Lake Maitland. S. B. Hill, mayor of Maitland, for three terms, formerly a well known attorney-at-law, with of fices in Orlando, came to Maiti land with his father, at the age of 14 years. The father homesteaded a portion of the land that is now known as Greenwood Gardens, in the northerly "ortion of the town. This land has now been in the ownership of the same family for three generations. In fact, the history of Greenwood Gardens is closely interwoven with that of Maitland from the very inception of the town, which was incorporated in 1886. S. H. Hill had the distinction of owning and operating the first citrus nursery in this section of the state. At one time, prior to the “big freeze” of 1894-95, he had four large tracts of land in nurseries, and it is worthy of note that he made shipments of citrus trees in carload lots to growers in California. One of the best citrus groves in the country was developed by Mr. Hill, who gradually acquired additional land, and finally, about 35 years ago, built his permanent home, “Greenwood Lodge” , at the head of Lakes Faith, Hope, and Charity, where he lives at the present time. One of the most gorgeous sunset views to be found in all Florida may be obtained from Greenwood Lodge. Now, many, many years before the great trek set in from the frozen north to Florida, Hill had in mind the wonderful possibilities of this part of M^ramd and a fine residential area f jr the use of future generations, and many were the) tempting offers lie refused for this land, in whole or in part. Persistently he kept the land intact in one parcel, until, finally, in 1924, he had worked out his plan for development. At that time an arrangement was made with the Maitland Realty Company for the development and sale of the land under the name of Greenwood Gardens. Additional land owned by J. H. Hill, and S B. Hill, Jr., two sons of S. B. Hill, and a few smaller tracts purchased by The Maitland development were included in the Realty Company, to round out the projest. Arrangements were made with Reasoner Brothers, of Oneco Florida, for adequate landscape planning, the operations being under the immediate attentions of Dr. W. H. Cook, of Bradenton, and R. D. Tillson, of High Point, N. C. Topography, and traffic problems were carefully studied. The street arrangement was worked out with a view to the conditions likely to obtain in the future. Every lot was so laid out that it would be a desirable homesite, with a proper and pleasing outlook upon its neighbors. Carefully considered restrictions, insuring the permanent value and beauty of each property, w«re ordained. Modern improvements, consisting of brick paving, cement sidewalks, city water, and white way lighting, are to be installed. In short, Greenwood Gardens, while not by any manner of means designed exclusively for the homes of the rich, will itself be rich in every desirable quality so dear to the heart of the American home loves. Building is going forward at a rapid pace in Greenwood Gardens. Several houses are under construction, more are being plained, and it is understood that two new churches will be ejected within the confines of this beautiful development. The Maitland public school, which stands at the head of all rural schools in Orang* county in general standards, heilth work, and other lines of activity, is also located in Greenwood Gardens. The building is modern and completely equipped. The commodious and beautifu’ grounds on which the school stmds, were the gift of s.

N. Williams, of Sanford, president, K. McPherson, of Maitland, vice-president, and G. B. Hurlburt, of Orlando, secretary and treasurer. In January, 1926, Mr. McPherson took over this organization and is now the sole owner. He is assisted v Miss Lois M. Haile as manager. This company has extensive connections in the north and middle west and a large proportion of their business has been done with non-residents of this state. In many County Chamber of Commerce; Maitland Chamber of Commerce; and the Orlando and Sanford Credit Associations. The personnel of the company stands high in the esteem of their fellow townsmen, J. H. Hill having served three years as mayor of Maitland. Incidently, he was the youngest executive the town has ever had, being qualified for the office at the age of 23. Mr. Hill also organized the Maitland Chamber of Commerce, and is chairman of the Planning and Zoning Commission. Anna B. Treat was secretary of the Maitland School Trustees; secretary of thje Town Planning and Zoning Commission; and was secretary of the Maitland Chamber of Commerce for two years. S. B. Hill, Jr , is a member of the city council. The successful future of Maitland is apparent and inevitable, as it lies right in the path of the most rapid progress today, while that of Greenwood Gardens is equally well assured, both because of its inherent high quality as a residential development, and the strong and capable management of the developing company. instances their clients did not see their purchases until after the deals were closed. Mr. McPherson bases the growth of his business, which has practically doubled in volumn in the last year, on the unquestionable representation that they have given to their out-of-state clients on the properties which they have acquired for them. While this company’s activities have been largely confined to Orange, Seminole and Osceola counties, yet it has negotiated several trades which have embraced property as far north as Passaic, N. J., and west to Spokane, Washington. Mr. McPherson announces that they will, this fall, put on a subdivision for some northern clients, which will be located on the beautiful rolling banks of Lake Catherine, which, in sipte of the fact that it is located only two blocks off of the Dixie Highway and is the gem of the many beautiful lakes in and around Maitland, is very little known to the public at large. The property which this subdivision will embrace is elevated many feet above the water level of the lake. This particular tract has always been recognized as one of the finest bearing groves in the district. Each and every lot will have an abundance of large, fine, bearing citrus trees. The lots will be sapcious and there will be a building restrictions in keeping with the general surroundings. It is the intention o f the Owners of this property and the Inter-City Realty Company to make this one of the most attractive little subdivisions in the county. Lights, streets, sidewalks, water, etc., will be included in the layout. The lots will be moderately priced and sold on exceptionally good terms. Speculators will not be invited to invest here. There will be every consideration shown to persons who wish to lodate and build in this little wonderland. It is possible that the owners of this subdivision will organize a building and loan company and loan the property owners money to build at 6 per cent. A M Maitland on the New State Road! When th« new State road is completed Maitland will occupy an even greater strategic position than it does it present. It will be the only town situated directly upon this new highway between Orlando and Sanford. That should be a great advantage. It WILL bel It will not only have a real dollars and cents value for the entire town, but will mean greater traveling convenience as well. That is just me more reason why many people have already selected hoimsites and begun the erection of their permanent homes in Greenwood Gardens, the prettiest spot in Maitland.

A. BROWN, PROPRIETOR MAITLAND, FLORIDA THE WINTER PARK HERALD, THURSDAY JUNE 10, 1926 Maitland Lirmber Co. Has Aided in Upbuilding Town The Maitland Lumber Company since it w*s organized in May, 1924, has been one of the really potent influences in the building up of both tb commercial and residential importance of Maitland, One would lot ordinarily look for one of the eading and most important busnesses of its kind in the entire county to be located in a small place like Maitand, particularly when the county seat ,a city approaching 60,000 .in population, is only a few minutes' drive away, but that is just what one does find when visiting Maitland, in the Maitland Lumber Company. From the very beginning this progressive firm of lumber dealers has specialized in quality lumber and builders' supplies of proven merit, and by persistently and always delivering just the character of materials that the specifications called for have they been able to build up a large and profitable business and an unsullied reputation, and the business has been successful from the start. At the end of the first year their constantly growing business necessitated the building of additions to their lumber storage capacity as well as of a large warehouse for builders' supplies, of which they always carry a full and large line. Last March fifteenth fire destroyed the company's offices and the lumber sheds together with their contents, and immediately two new lumber storage sheds were erected and there was no inFIVE terruption of the service to the trade. Plans have been perfected for the construction of a new large and eommodious lumber shed to replace the one that was destroyed by fire, in which will be embodied every modern feature for the handling of lumber, which will still further improve the well nigh perfect delivery service. During the embargo period the company added more men and delivery equipment and continued to render their ^customary prompt service. The officers of the Maitland Lumber Company are E. A. Upmeyer, president, R. A. Wheeler, vice-president, and C. E. Upmeyer, secretary, and the entire organization including the officers is made up of lumbermen, all of whom have had years of experience in both the manufactureand the marketing of lumber, which practical knowledge and experience is all to the advantage of the home-builder Mr. Upmeyer, prior to. coming to Maitland, was manager of the retail dept, of the Putnam Lumber Company in Jacksonville, and for several years previously had been in charge in the United States of Bahamas-Cuban Company, which concern owns and operates mills in the south and large distributing yards in Cuba. Mr. Upmeyer has been a resident of Florida since 1909. The slogan, “Quality and Service" is more than a high-sounding phrase—it is the outstanding policy of the company, and is coupled with “Courtesy Always," of course, and, as stated in the beginning, spells the instant and constant success of the Maitland Lumber Company. Maitland Public Library, Maitland, Florida Bank of Maitland Opened in March ' (Continued from page 1) the entire plant is comparable with the most up-to-date banking institutions even in the larger cities, and is a credit to its designers and builders and the directors and officers of the bank as well as the progressive little city in which it is located. In operative paraphernalia the bank is equipped with the latest type book-keeping machine and other modern devices necessary to an up-to-date banking house, including steel desks and tables, and in every way is prepared to handle any business entrusted to it in every branch of finance, and has been rendering that sort of service from the start. The opening day saw but a small start in deposits, but each day there way a greater total, the deposits reaching $85,000 in the first two months, and in every department the business has continued to grow. Of course the officers and directors of the bank are entitled to much credit for the success it has achieved, but the greater part of the work has been done or directly overseen by “Don" Spain, formerly assistant-cashier at the Union State Bank .in Winter Park, and the friends of the bank of Maitland are glad to give “Don" credit for the main performance of the job. The present officers of the bank are E. A. Upmeyer, president, J. A. Brown, vice-president, and Do/iald G. Spain, cashier, and the directors are E. A. Upmeyer, S. B. Hill, W. B. Joiner, J. A. Brown, J. H. Hill, C. J. Woodward and Donald G. Spain, all representative business White Way Motor Co. Is New Concern and Needed Business One of the best business institutions in Maitland and one of the best of its kind in the entire county is the White Way Motor Company, which is comparatively a new concern here. Mr. John Nelson, the owner and manager, coming to Florida some six years ago from Philadelphia. h Arriving in Orange county Mr. Nelson became associated with the Standard Auto Company, in Winter Park, coming from that concern to Maitland three years later. The building now occupied by the White Way Motor Company Mr. Nelson built last year. It is a substantial structure of white plaster on hollow tile, with large “ L"- shaped, two-entrance ground floor room for general automobile repair and service work, the corner in the “ L" being occupied by a cafe while the upper floor comprises two very complete and modern sevenroom apartments. Since coming to Maitland Mr. Nelson has built up a very satisfactory business, and as an indication of the character of service he renders, and the way his customers appreciate it, Mr. Nelson has a number of customers he served while with the Standard Auto Company in Winter Park, and because they know and like the kind of work he does, they have continued with him since he came to Maitland, and when they want any work done they drive out to Maitland and have Mr. Nelson do it—and they know it will be done right. Mr. Nelson is an active member of the Presbyterian church, of the Chamber of Commerce, is a Mason, and has the confidence of the entire community. Aside from doing general service and repair work on all makes of cars, Mr. Nelson has the agencies for Cadillac, Pontiac and Oakland cars. He is a member of the United Service Association.

The stock comprises large stocks of all the different kinds of merchandise generally carried by the general store, and Mr. Brown specializes in the nationally advertised brands of every kind of merchandise, and by reason of the fact that he believes in the old adage that “ the best is none to good,” he has a business that requires the employment of four sales people in addition to himself and he is in fact his own best clerk. The store is equipped with modern shelving, counters and show cases and equipment of every kind, all of the shelving being specially built to accommodate the certain kinds of merchandise kept upon it. In the meat department is found a most modern automatic refrigeration plant, of the Frigidaire type, as well as electric-driven machines of various kinds. All spring scales, in fact all of the equipment and appointments of the store are of the most modern and convenient character, making “Brown's Store," considered by and large, an institution of which any community might well be proud. The rear portion of the store room, about one-third of it, perhaps, is partitioned off and used for storage purposes, above it being a mezza-nine floor, which is occupied by one of the departments and just in front of the mezzanine, on a raise platform not quite so high, is Mr. Brown's office, where he has the entire store in full view. Mr. Brown ha? always been actively identified with the general interests of the town, having served two terms as mayor and now being chairman of the town council. He also is a stock holder and vicepresident and director of the Bank of Maitland, is a member of the Chamber of Commerce, a steward in the Methodist church and member of the Boys Scouts Council. * New Building In Maitland (Continued from page 1) Faith, Hope and Charity. Mr. Coudert has just moved into his new home which contains living room, dining room, kitchen, th,*ree bed rooms, terrace and bath. Mr. Rolland A. Wheeler of the Winter Park Lumber Co., has just completed a very attractive bungalow in Greenwood Gardens, containing five rooms and bath. One of the most pretentious undertakings is that of the new residence nearing completion in Greenwood Gardens being erected by Mr. W. F. Parker on the Dixie Highway. Mr. Parker, who is an old time builder, is constructing this home for himself which when completed will contain eleven rooms and two baths. There will be a cellar under part of the house providing for a heating apparatus and cold storage. When completed this dwelling will be 100 percent electrified. The Interstate Realty Co, have erected and are occupying a very attractive and substantial one story office building of Spanish design on Horiato Avenue. There are quite a number of projects about ready to start, among which will be the New Town Hall, which is to be built facing the NEW ARCADE FOR MAITLAND The Herald informed on very good authority that within the next 60 days an Arcade building will be started in Maitland. This building is to be located on the Maitland Commercial Subdivision and will be the first of a series of store buildings which will be erected on this sub-division. The building is to be o f stucco and contain about 10 stores. The architect for this building is Mr. C. B. Waterhouse, of Passaic, N. J. Mr. Waterhouse was at one time a resident of Maitland and at the age o f 20 he went north and studied architecture. Although past the age limit for military service, Mr. Waterhouse served his country in France during the world war. Mr. Waterhouse is expected to return to Maitland this fall and take up his permanent residence here again.

HAILE, Mg Phone 1310-J MAITLAND R E A L T Y COMPANY Six years ago a young man, a native son of Maitland, made an extended trip from Jacksonville the east coast, and saw the beginnings of the development, then in its infancy even at Miami, and undreamt-of in this section of Florida. On his return he looked at Maitland and saw it for the first time as it was then—sleepy, backward, unprogressive, just as it had been for forty years. But he saw more than that. He saw its beauty of lakes and woods, shaded streets and fertile groves, far surpassing any of the attractions of the coast. He looked ahead and saw a vision of what it might become when the development starting on the coast had spread through the rich central section of the state. He shared his dreams with friends, and together they planned for the future, and out of their dreams and plans grew the Maitland Realty Company. The undertaking being new and its future problematical it had to start in a small way and was organized first in 1921 as a partnership of three, and incorporated in September 1923, with some increase in personel and capital. For three years the partners devoted their time to organizing the business, developing plans, and promoting the general interests of the town, as they realized that until Maitland developed there was no chance for a real estate business to prosper. The president of the company was for three years mayor of the town and wrote the town ordinances and conducted court in the company’s tiny office, furnished with a second-hand typewriter, some add tables and chairs—an outlay $150.00. In 1923 the j compa.uy moved into a small office back of the post office in the building bnilt by the Maitland Building Association, of which the president of the company was secretarytreasurer. Here the plans for Greenwood Gardens were developed and t/re business began to prosper until vn January, 1925, it was moved into its present office next to the post office on Maitland avenue, sre one of the most completely equipped real estate offices in the section is maintained. With the increase of business the members of the firm have not neglected public interests, but number now among their number of town councilman, two members of the zoning commission, a member of the Board of Governors of Orange County Chamber of Commerce, the secretary of the Orange County Beautification Commission and a member of the Board of Directors of the Orlando Realty Board. The activities of the firm include general brokerage, the Greenwood Gardens development, all lines of insurance and a complete property care department, including rentals, care of houses and grounds, grove work, fertilizers and insecticides. Besides the main office in Maitland, the company maintains an attractive well located branch office in the Hamilton Hotel building in Winter Park. In the main office seven people are employed, all of them well versed in their resp#ctive lines, assuring customers and clients competent service at altimes. As members of the Orlando Realty Board, the Maitland Realty Company can secure for professional appraisals and real estate service of unusual merit. Through correspondents throughout the State and the United States, all members of the National Association of Real Estate Boards, the Maitland Realty Company is in a position to rended comprehensive and intelligent attention to any business intrusted to them. As vision of the future started the business, so wise foresight is guiding it today toward a permanent conservative position in Central Florida. The company’s motto “A thought for tomorrow in the sales we make today,” tersely sums up a sincere belief in the Realtors Code of Ethics, and by rigidly adhering to the code the Maitland Realty Company aims to make a place for itself in the permanent history of Florida, through its sound policies during the great romance of development now in process of enactment. Officers of the Maitland Realty Company are: J. H. Hill, president, Forrest B. Stone, vice-president, Anna B. Treat, secretary, and S. B. Hill, Jr. treasurer.

Ripe fields and sunny skies; A glamour on the distant hills that stand Like citadels of some enchanted land Which yet invites our eyes. A wealth of daisies spread; A weight of redolence upon the air, From yonder crab, whose wanton blossoms there Oppressive fragrance shed. Here in the sedges deep, A little pool that, full of sweet content, To ripple, wind swept, ’neatfi the branches bent, Lies tranquil and asleep. High up among the boughs The feathered choristers of morn, that strove To fill the air with ecstacy and love, Chirp feebly as they drowse, And all things yield in silence to the power4 Of warmth and sunlight at the noontide hour. Unfathomed depths of blue, And rifted dusky clouds chased by the breeze Across a sea of azure, which one sees The veiled sunlight through; Which darken pond and hillock as they pass, And cast their flying shadows on the grass. A moment and 'tis done; llie meadow glows once more with heavenly light, A glimpse of gloom whose momentary flight Shuts out the fadeless sun. How many a seeming ill which casts a shade Upon life’s sunny plains would be allayed, Could we but think when that it hides the sky, ’Tie but a swift cloud-shadow passing by. —Nannie M. Fitzhugi HOUSE-HUNTING, BY ROBERT J. BURDETTE. I believe 1 always did admire my cousin Celestine. She was pretty when she was a school girl. She had the softest brown hair, fine and sheeny as corn silk, and the sweetest blue timid way with her. Such a girl as any boy might fall in love with. She married George Andover, a young Presbyterian preacher. I saw nothing of them for nearly five years, when they came to Crmhntslwlin, a little town down in Pennsylvania, where I lived. It was called by a Welsh name, because there were no Welsh people within a thousand miles of it so far as I was able to learn. Still, it had to be called something, and Crmhntslwlin was pronounced as good a name as it deserved. It was at least an improvement on Jinkinville and Thompsontown and Snyderburg. George and Celestine were going to live in the city, a few miles distant, or near, rather. George had to go right away and attend a presbytery or synod or something or other that was going to burn a heretic or something, and would I go to the city and help Celestine hunt a house? Wouldn’t I? I would go and find a house for them myself, and Celestine could stay at home and rest. But she hesitated, in her timid way, and then said she would go with me. How glad I was. She was prettier than ever, and seemed so grateful that I was going to take care of her. How glad I was, I repeat it. How glad I was. It didn’t take me twenty minutes to find the very house she wanted; just the one she described. Eleven rooms, hot and cold water in every corner, Philadelphia window shutters four inches thick, and a parlor so respectably dark that the boldest cat would fall over the furniture and break its head against the piano limbs every time it ventured in there. But Celestine didn’t like it, because Mr. Gonge, the agent, wouldn’t paint, paper, put in a new range, build on a bay window and add another story. I never saw that timid, appealing, confiding expression on Celestine’s face look quite so sweet and appealing as it did when she refused to take that house. We rode about six miles on nine different street car lines that morning, and visited a dozen houses. I was charmed with every house, but Celestine would look so appealingly at me time, when we consulted the and state her objections so sweetly and timidly, and say; “Oh, cousin, won’t you decide for me?” And then we would start after another one. We found a new house. Just completed. Just scrubbed and oiled and varnished from garret to cellar; agent just putting the card in the window when we got there. We went all over it, and Celestine said she would take it if he would have it repainted and papered and a new heater put in. The brute looked into that pleading, timid, gentle face and refused. Somewhere during the next mile Celestine suddenly stopped. “There,” she said, so decidedly I was frightened. “I would take that house.” She was looking at a handsome mansion of stone, situated in a beautiful yard and bursting into bloom and blossom from every window. “Yes,” I said a little uncertainly, “but isn’t it a little larger than you want?” I judged that it contained possibly not more than twenty rooms. “Ye-es,” she said, “but we could close a portion of the house. Suppose you run over and see what it rents for.” I didn’t believe it was to let. “You can’t tell until you find out,” said cousin Celestine, timidly. “It looks like a very expensive house,” I said. “But maybe the man is embarrassed in business,” she said, “and would be glad to find a good tenant. Don’t fail me, please,” she added, and I said I would go. I did go. I rang the bell, and stated my business. The liveried servant shut the floor in mv face without a word, andil returned. •7 co.j^^Oelesyne, the sweet blue eyes, and calmly, without a blush, I said: “The man said he owned the house, and did not care to rent it this season.” She sighed, and said in low, tremulous tones that she believed she <4W^1,” she said, “George is coming home to-morrow, so I suppose there is an end to house-hunting.” “Why,” I said, sternly resolving the minute George came homo to send myself a telegram calling me to the Horth Pole on the first train, “you haven’t found a house yet?” “Oh, yes,” Celest ne said, in tones so melting that I half started to go out and resume the search, “there is a parsonage with the church to which George has been called, and our things are all there. The ladies of tbe church got it all ready for us^'vhen we decided to come. But,” she said softly, probably noticing the look of brutal amazement that came creeping over my face, “I thought perhaps they could let the parsonage to some one else if we found a house we liked beH*\.‘ “Then you don’t the parsonage?” I managed to say. “Oh, I don’t siy that,” she said, sweetly. “I have not seen it. They didn’t want us tc come until everything was all ready” I have not seen by cousin Celestine since she went to tie parsonage. They came out to Crnhntslwlin several times, but the mai whom I have employed to watch a the station is vigi lant and faithful, and so has warned me in time to effect my escape over into the hills of Irddnwr Any person desiring to pu chase an undivided •interest in a coush, low-voiced, sweet- tempered and fair favored, gentle and affectionate, a charming singer and an infallible judge of inproved city real estate, can secure a bargain by corresponding with me.

The extent of the auroral displays over the world is not uniform, the United States being the most favored, while Siberia, opposite to us across the pole, but much further north, is the least. Hew York city has about the same frequency of auroral displays as St. Petersburg and Londo:., and also as Siberia, more than half way up the Behring Sea coast, fully 1,500 to 2,000 miles nearer the pole. They are seen as far south as Cuba, Yucatan, Central Mexico and Cape St. Lucas on the American continent, while in Asia they are unknown in Pekin, and almost so in the Japanese Islands, Southern Europe, on the latitude of Hew York city, being just within the limits of visibility. In general, it is seen about 1,400 miles further south on the Western Continent side than it is on the Eastern, or just the distance the magnet pole is from the true or geographical one, pulled over the same side, so to speak, it being just north of our continent. It thus plainly shows that the magnetic pole is a central point from which the auroral force in some unknown way is dependent. The magnetic pole, approximately speaking, is on longitude 100 degrees west from Greenwich, and on that meridian the displays are more frequent than at other points of the same latitude.—Lieut. Schwatka. National Flags. The present beautiful tricolor of France which succeeded the white field with golden lillies, was formed by the combinatiod of the colors of the city of Paris, red and blue, with the white of the house of Bourbon. What is now called the “union” of the British flag V---- onc<j consisted onlv^f Sm cross of St. THE FAMILY PHYSICIAN. every agent, could have got it if she had gone over. That afternoon, while we were somewhere on our ninth mile, Celestine found another house that suited her exactly, but the rent was $240 a month, and she didn’t want to go beyond $60. As we walked now, she leaned heavily on my arm, and I tottered along on blistered feet, eagerly scanning the horizon in every direction for street cars, while Celestine could see a “To let” card with the naked eye farther than I could think. Her timid, trustful way grew upon her, until she looked a perfect miracle of submissive diffidence, and when we went home that night, in a low, sweet voice she tore houses, landlords and agents to pieces so sweetly and timidly and completely it made you think of a cyclone weaving garlands of anemones and violets, and breathing softly through a flute to blow a six-story warehouse clear across the Delaware Biver. We went house hunting the next day and the next day after that, and the next day after that again, for two weeks. Celestine timidly drove me into the happy homes .of all sorts of people to see if the houses were not to let, “because,” she said, “sometimes very particular people, who have the best houses to let, may not like to advertise them.” Sometimes, in these forays, I stumbled into homes of some of my acquaintances, and had to go in and go through the hollow mockery of “a call” to conceal the real reason of my visit, and then I could see my friends wondering and laughing behind the blinds when I went guiltily out and rejoined my cousin Celestine. I wouldn’t have believed it possible that so many houses, exactly alike from drain to chimney pot, could have so many faults, no two alike. I prowled about in cellars until I began to smell moldy, and I climbed stairs till I was knee sprang. At length, just before 1 died, there came a letter from George. Celestine read it and sighed. Mig£a\ Jot Birds. .ot long ago large numbers of British migratory birr |(dead) were found floating in the se/.f off the Eddystone Lighthouse. It improbable that during their night joirney from the Devonshire shores a fog overtook them, and that the light proceeding from the lantern H the lighthouse attracted them anc1 so stupefied them that they dashed themselves against the thick glass and were killed in large numbers. The fi&er^aen who trawl for turbot, soles, skplfce, etc., on the Varne Bidge Baf^ between Dover and Calias, not unfiequently hear the sound of flocks of migratory birds flying overhead. Tlie speed at which birds can go when on their migratory flight has been noticed. Quails are said to accomplish 150 miles in a night, and undigested African seeds and plants have been found in the crops of these birds when they reach the French coast. A It is said that thcJRgration of birds will foretell severe weather, and it is well known by the bird-catcher that when the larks and other northern birds appear, snow and hard weather will follow the fli>?®M These warnings of migratory birdo,%uough apparently insignificant, may be of vast political and even national importance. If the Emperor Hapoleon, when on the road to Moscow with his army in 1811, had condescended to observe the flights of storks and cranes pausing over his fated battalions, subsequent events in the politics of Europe might have been very different. These storks and cranes knew of the coming on of a great and terrible winter; the birds hastened toward the south, Hapoleon and his army toward the north.— Frank Buckland. Camels iu America. The camels turned loose upon the Arizona desert some years ago have so multiplied that theJP?oam the Gila Valley in herds of 100 or more. The hunters of the Territory have great sport in chasing them. A camel hunt is a long way ah<*iu|r>f the old-fashioned deer drive.—Sfti Francisco Ex« aminer. -vT St7 Andrew was added to it, and finally the cross of St. Patrick, and as the first and last are of the same shape, the last change could only be denoted by the addition of the narrow white line to the edge of the cross of St. George, which can be seen byclosely examining the union of Britain’s banner. Many people fancy that the present German flag has some relations to the “German liberty flag” of black, red and gold horizontal stripes, adopted by the German revolutionists, which in turn is fancifully connected with the Holy Bom an empire. As a fact the German flag is simply the flag of the Horth German Confederation, which was a combination of the black and white of Prussia with the red and white of the Hanseatic league. The blue in the American flag came from the English Whigs, whose colors were blue and buff. The Whigs were the friends of the struggling colonies before the Bevolution. The Whigs were allied with the Protestant cause in Germany and got their colors from Sweden. Blue and buff, with a dash of red in the union to signify the coalition with Horway, still form the Swedish flag.—Cultivator. Danger of Larse Doses of Quinine. At a late meeting of the New York Clinical Society, two papers were read in which it was shown that large doses of quinine have a deleterious effect on the heart, through the nervous system. This, it appears, is especially the case in typhoid fever, where, through long continued pyrexia, the heart becomes weak or degenerated. A Closet for Medleines. Keep if you can, a closet for the sole use of medicines, and appliances for sickness or accidents. A narrow, high chimney-side closet answers the purpose admirably, with shelves half way down and deep drawers to fill the remaining space. Bundles of old, soft cotton and linen pieces, a roll of cotton batting and flannel, the rubber water bag, medicine dropper, bed pan, and feeding cup, and everything needed in an emergency or long sickness. Have every vial plainly labeled, those marked poison place always on the upper shelf. Keep the whole undei lock and key, the key beyond the reach of children, but easily accessible to older members, of the family.—Good Housekeeping, Dangerous Medicines for Children. The British Medical Journal says: It. is well known that in every household a great deal of useless and unnecessary medication is carried on by parents among the youthful members of the family. As a rule, resort is had to medicines that are practically safe, and which experience has shown to be innocuous; but there is also, we fear, a tendency to employ drugs which should only be ad Mastered by the family physician, wi'pBafcall- *12 in jziedical aid. An J Saved His Cattle. The French Professor Pasteur, who has made himself famous by inoculating men and cattle with disease germs to insure them against epidemics, ought to yield the palm of priority in that discovery to a humble, priest of our own country, says a Bussian paper. In 1868, when the Siberian plague was killing the cattle in this place, Father Andrew Joakimansky of the Troitzky village, resorted to a desperate means in order to save his cows. He got some blood from a dying cow, saturated threads with that blood, and passed these threads through the ears of the healthy cows, numbering eleven. At the place where the ears were punctured there appeared tumors of the size of pigeon eggs. In a short time those tumors disappeared, and the cows remained alive and healthy, though the rest of the cattle of that village perished. this was furnished by a triaf^vhieh took place at Hamilton, where a father was placed in the dock, on the charge of culpable homicide, for administering four drops of laudanum to a child five weeks old, with the result that it became unconscious and died within the next few hours. There was no evidence that the medicine had been given with any criminal intent, and the jury very properly acquitted the parent, whose mental suffering must have been sufficient punishment for the indiscretion of which he had been guilty; but the facts brought out in connection wit^h the case cannot be too widely known. They may serve to impress more forcibly on the public wThat is well known and universally admitted, that there is extreme susceptibility on the part of children, especially within the first few weeks of life, to the influence of opium in any form, and that it should never be given except under medical guidance and sanction. The evidence of some of the witnesses at the trial showed the hazy notions that exist as to the administration of laudanum to children, some holding that a drop of laudanum for each week of the age was perfectly safe, while others were not prepared to go such lengths. Where the issues involved are those of life or death, it would be well to follow the rule we have given above; for, where a child is ill enough to require an opiate, the sooner medical advice is procured the better. 4 To Encourage the Victims.

As birds to sun-land wing their way in blithesome bevies and with song,so from the gift-hand, Christmas-day, flow tokens that life’s joys prolong. The season’s symbol, like a charm, wish and delight is interlocking; and plainest gifts the heart will warm be they but found within a stocking! *** Time can destroy the dearest whim; the sweetest joy Cge can bedim; but on life's way all love to pause each year a day with Santa Claus.

A STORY OF CHRISTMAS RYE. “Now, Charlie dear, do make it go as far as you can,” said little Mrs. Rushton, as she counted a roll of crisp, green bills into her husband’s hand as they stood in the cottage door one Christmas eve, Charlie received them quite nonchalantly, never once thinking, perhaps, how many weary stitches that pale, patient litt-*3 woman at his side had earned them with--stitcheg made in the dead midnight hours, when he and the little ones were fast asleep. He twisted them together and stuffed them into his vest pocket. Mrs. Rushton sighed, and looked wistfully out into the stormy gloom. “There are :^o many things we need,” ihe sai(I could have gone m. self; but hjflBpI >o ill for that ! glancing bac^BHHlithe crib in one €&&&**% _______________ gj l the medicine for ths jtiritgv fthat—*and coal, an! a fttijte sugar and tea. and a few loaves of bread. And I did want a turkey for to-morrow —a small one, you know, Charlie; and a few plums to make a pudding. We can’t afford it well; but it seems so hard for you and the children to have npthing for Christmas. Charlie moved restlessly, but her thin, labor-worn hand held his arm. “And some little trifles for the children, dear,” she went on; ‘‘the poor little things wrill be hanging up their stockings to-night, and it hurts me so to disappoint them. Get a few candies, aid a knife for Tom, and a doll for Annie— some little things that won’t cost much, Charlie.” He shook her hand from his arm, and hurried out. “Yes, yes,” he replied,half impatiently, “I’ll do it all if you don't keep me here all night.” “And Charlie,” she called, as he strode away, her voice full of touching entreaty, “please don’t stay long; baby is so ill, and will need her medicine in an hour; and I thought we would fix up a bit when the children get to bed. You will come back soon, dear?” “Oh, yes, Mary, yes!” But Alary watched him out of sight, with a glimmer of tears in her patient •jyes. ‘ T wish I could have gone myself, ” she sighed, as she returned to her baby’s -■radle. “Poor Charlie; I do hope he will be as good as his word.” ■ She sat dowrn, with her foot on the “You’ll have to put one of your sticks on the fire, Tom,” she said; “the room is too cold for the child. I thought the coal would have been here before this.” “And baby ought to have had her powder at four,” said fhe thoughtful Annie; “do you mind how fast she breathes, mother?” The mother bent over the little sufferer, and pressed her lips to the hot, dry little mouth. Then she went to tbe door and looked long and wistfully down the village road, and such a sharp pain at her poor heart. She had worked so hard, and hoped so much for this Christmas; sewed so constantly and patiently for the few bills that Charlie had gone out to expend. Oh, surely, thoughtless, and thriftless, as, he was, he would not forget and the children that Christmas Eve* But the stormy hours wore by, yet he did not return. Poor, half famished little Tom sat before the fire, and watched the scanty supper with longing eyes. His mother noticed the little fellow, and proceeded at once to place it on the table; she made them eat, and then coaxed them to go to bed. Then she *at down again to her work and her anxious vigil. Slowly and wearily the hours wore on, and with every moment the storm seemed to increase. At last she heard the village bells striking for midnight. At the same moment a feeble little moan from the crib made her start to her feet. The babe was growing worse, its breath came now in sharp gasps, and its little face began to wear a strange, purplish pallor. The poor mother caught it up with a stifled cry. Then she ran to the bed where Tom was lying fast asleep, and dreaming, no doubt, of what the long-hoped-for-to-morrow would bring him. “Tom, Tom!” she cried, shaking him gently, “get up, dear— you must run for vour father, for I’m afraid baby’s dying.” The sturdy little fellow was on his feet in an instant. “The saloon, mother?” he inquired, significantly, with a strange look of sorrowful humiliation in his young eyes as he quickly drew on bis warm jacket. “Yes, Tom! And be sure you bring him; and if there’s any money left, run by the apothecary’s and get the medicine —but it’s too late now! Be quick, now, Tom! How very dark it is! I’ll wake Annie to go with you, if you’re afraid.” “No, mother, she shan’t go out in this storm—I’m not afraid!” and away the manly little fellow went, out into the ■wild, stormy midnight. The mother sat down and held the dying babe close to her bosom. And this was the night for wrhich she had worked, and hoarded, and hoped for so long! An hour passed, and little Tom returned, drenched and shivering. “He’s there, mother,” he half sobbed, “but he won’t come, and the money’s ail gone, he says. I came by the apothecary’s, but he wouldn’t let me have the medicine. Oh, mother, what shall vje “Heaven knows, my boy,” said hi3 mother, as the breathing on her bosom grew more convulsive, “put on more wood and wake Annie, then you had better run back. The child is dying— tell your father so.” Tom obeyed! Another hour went by, and above the din of the storm, above the sobs of little Annie, the waiting wife caught the sound of that heavy, unsteady footstep. He was coming, but it was too late. The babe that she held so closely to her poor, aching heart, was now past all earthly suffering. She arose, and laid it in its crib, and crossed the little, waxen hands upon the pulseless bosom. Then she rose to meet her husband. He staggered in, pale and abashed, and half desperate. She pointed in silence to the little, marble face on the cradle-pillow. N “Your work,” she said, hoarsely. “You have killed my baby. The medicine might have saved her! Where's my money, that I worked so hard for?” The shock half sobered him, and he answered, defiantly: “I went to the saloon and gambled it away. You might have known that I would.” This poor wife had spirit and temper enough beneath her meekness and patience, and it blazed up fiercely now. She turned to push him from her in bitter anger and disgust, but the sight of his face arrested her. A bloated, brutal, drunkard’s face, but the face of her own husband; the face that had won her “Mary,” he said, solemlv, as he entered the room and knelt down beside her, “I’ve brought you something,” and he laid a folded paper on her lap. “I’ve signed the pledge, an! intend to begin a new life. If God will forgive me, can you, Mary?” She glanced at the paper, and then she caught his poor, repentent face to her bosom, and covered it with kisses, “Oh, Charlie,” she sobbed, “I do forgive you, and I love you so!” “ ’Tisyour love that will save me,” he answered solemnly — “my wife’s forgiving love.” Tom and Annie crept from the room, and stood hand in hard in the glittering Christmas dawnlight. “We shall have a sad Christmas,Tom,” sobbed Annie, “much as we’ve thought of it.” “No we shan’t,,” responded Tom, his blue eyes flashing- \viih triumph; “we shall always call this tie happiest Christmas of our lives, A.urie, for father has signed the pledge!” And little Tom was right.

The babe slept, its cheek hot and flushed, its breath coming in quick, short gasps. Presently the children came in from the pine ridge, beyond the village, where they had ^een to gather wood for the fire. “We’ve got a lot, mother,” said Tom, a sturdy little fellow, the image of his father. We’ll have a rousing fire on Christmas, won’t we, Annie? Annie nodded and crept into the corner holding her little red hands to the fire. “I’m not cold,” said Tom. Girls be so tender mother—let Annie stay in; I’ll feed the cow and get in the water—I’m in for Christmas work,I am!

Having warmed her hands, Annie stole softly to the baby's crib, and sat dotvn beside it. Mrs. Rushton sewed on, and the stormy twilight closed in rapidly.

However, we got on board and foiud that we were on a ferryboat that went icross the Y to some pleasure grounds, vlere we found enough to entertain us fer several hours —a grove fitted up with all sorts of gymnastic apparatus and scores of people enjoying themselves tp the top oi their bent. The curiom *ature about the place (aside from fae astonishing fact that we did not have to pay to enter the grounds—I still tofink it was a blunder on the part of somebody that we did not)—was that eight out of every ten of the athletes \(Tere young women, who seemed to be fasicinaed with sports tbat arc usually mofl^Rized by boys. It was not an extd(feinary thing to young women of from twenty to thirty swinging, but I was greatly amused at some of the feats that they did and at others that they undertook to do. The “giant’s stride,” as it.is called in England, is peculiarly a boy's sport. Four strong ropes, with big loops in the ends, are attached to a movable block on a pivot at the top of a high, strong post. Yet these strong, robust Dutch girls would half sit in these loops and whirl ajgtmd with all the abandon of bom ^Pletes, touching a foot now and then, Kfcug into the air, laughing and shouting- all the while. It was great sport for them, and at times it was highly diverting to the spectators—when they would miss their footing and get bumped against each other. But they were utteito.nconscious of everything except thl^njoyment they got from the exercise, and did not mind bumps or being dragged over the ground. A rod or two further on one would find half a dozen young women having a match to see who could make the most rounds on a horizontal ladder; and two or three put up a spring-board and attempted " a jump. The girls had a monopoly of the sport that evening, certainly. There were only a few young men "about, and they looked as if they thought the exercise would be too violent for them. Moreover these young women were of fine appearance, many of them; not rough, uncouth peasant girls, but intelligent, well-dressed—evidently belonging to good families. The color in their cheeks, and the buoyant, easy manner in which they walked, indicated plainly enough the good which this exercise does them. IXovv to Care for Horses# Commissioner Colman, of the agricultural bureau, was visited by a Washing- ton Star reporter and questioned in regard to the proper feeding and care of horses. The commissioner has devoted a great deal of care and study to the horse. He owns a large farm near St. Louis, which for years has been mainly devoted, under his own supervision, to the breeding, raising, and training of fine horses. In response to a request for some information with regard to the feeding and care of hoises, based upon his experience, he said that the feeding of horses was a very simple matter, the main requisite being the best quality of oats and hay. Damaged hay and damaged oats were unfit to be fed to horses, and most of the injuries to the digestive organs were produced by food of a bad character. Some horses require more food than others. For horses that work, about twelve quarts of oats per day to each horse, and from twelve to fifteen pounds of hay was the proper quantity to be led. The oats should be fed in three equal installments, and the main portion of hay should be given at night. To horses ths lave but little exercise, not more shan eight or nine quarts of oats and about the same quantity of hay as above should be given. Regularity of feeding was very desirable. Horses should be fed three times a day at a certain hour, and minute if possible. They are excellent time keepers, they know just when to expect their feed, and if they do not get it at that time they become worried and fretted. Oats is a better grain food than corn, because it is lees heating and produces more muscle; but three or four ears of good, ripe corn tHrown into the feed-box occasionally would be greatly relished by the horses, and would be beneficial. An occasional addition of two or three quarts of good wheat bran, either wetted or dry, is also relished; it furnishes a variety, and conduces to the health of the horse. A horse to do well needs daily exercise, and cannot remain in perfect health if kept standing in the stall day after day. Two or three hours at least of exercise is essential to health. Horses should be given water about half an hour before their meals, or not until an hour has passed after they have been fed grain. The stomach of a horse is very small, and if a large quantity of vjater is taken the water washes the grain into the intestines without having oeen properly digested, and, frequently inflammation or colic is the result. A good bed to sleep upon is indispensable, and many horses will not lie down unless they have a soft bed to rest upon. Thorough grooming, removing the dust and dirt and the exhalations of the system from the coat of the horse is also indispensable to good heallh and condition. A thorough currying and brushing should be given daUy tj°everv Kindness i.a the trealmeal' \aorses is i very desirable. A horse responds to kind treatment and endeavors to repel and defend himself against cruel treatment. Vicious horses are produced by vicious treatment. A horse has the same senses as a man, can be educated to do a great many things, if the proper pains is taken with him from his birth up, and if his senses are properly appealed to he will become a kind, useful and intelligent domestic animal. The abuse and ill-treatment given to horses throughout the country is very reprehensible, and every kind-hearted man should do all that he can to bring about a better treatment of the most useful animal that the Creator has conferred upon him.

It is a good plan to wrap a piece of tarred paper around the bodies of trees during the winter to keep rabbits away. Provide for the winter water supply of all live stock; they should have access to pure water at pleasure throughout the winter. Never plant black raspberry roots from an old, worn-out plantation. If the old plant is thrifty and healthy, age makes no difference. Place a teaspoonful of salt close around, each raspberry plant now. Scatter maA nure and salt freely on tbe asparagus beds in the fall. Skim milk is said to be good to cause hens to lay. It is often fed in the form of loppered milk, in which form the fowls are very fond of it. The best solid food is wheat. Do not forget to provide before the ground freezes a box of good soil for a hot-bed next spring. Place the box in some sheltered place, and cover it with boards; or put it under some building. An Ohio farmer is a strong advocate of the idea that apples grown on certain soils keep better than on others. He says willow twigs grown on red clay do not keep well, but his trees on yellow clay bear fruit which keeps til! after harvest. Pigs of about one hundred pounds weight make the best bacon. It is more readily cured than hams are; placing it in a mild pickle for six weeks and then smoking it. Belly pieces are used for bacon. w Bacon is ;i good change in meat at most any time of the year. It is a mistake, says the American Cultivator, to suppose that parsnips are improved by being allowed to remain in the ground all winter. It is best to d*g them in the fall and store them in sand in the cellar, and they will keep better and be much more palatable than those * left in _tho ground. HUMOR OF THE HAY.

Life Story of the British Spy—A Man Who Was Unlucky Throughout his Entire Career. 3 Many Facts in the History of Andre that are Full of Interest— His Monument in West minster Abbey. [Special New York Letter.] ' Ever since the blowing up of the Andre monument, erected by Cyrus W Field, on TreasonjHill, Major John Andre has once more been prominentlv before the American public, and the citizens of Tappan, where the explosion occurred, the papers of this city, and orators here and elsewhere have been more or less excited and moved over the unfortunate young man of the last century. J-V-: THE DESTROYED MONUMENT AT TAPPAN. Every reader of history has heard more or less of the beautiful young Honora Sncyd, the adored love of Andre, and whose final rejection of his suit sent him out of England and into eternity sooner than than he would have otherwise have left one and reached the other. Perhaps every one hasn’t heard, however, that the adorable young lady in question had suitors while yet in her teens other than Andre, and one in particular, whose curious ideas are worth noticing. This was one Thomas Day, an eccentric genius, who seldom combed his hair, wa9 pitted with small pox, round shouldered and ugly, but—he had $5,000 a year and waded in. Ilis ideas of matrimony were peculiar, and he had taken two little girls from an orphan asylum intending to raise them and marry the one he loved best after rearing her in the way she should go. In the meantime, Miss Snyed crossed his path, and being already raised, anti possessing a handsome-4 nee, blue eyes, and -golden hairT she captivated him, i|fWIW>i||ll!l|i|liilii||)iiiHli and for a while it ■^UWWIWWII'PIUU the army, his want of ready cash being an unsurmountable objection in the eyes of the old folks on both sides; for money in those days carried its weight, even when joined to uncombed hair and a pitted countenance. Mr. Day, however, submitted such a voluminous proposal of marriage, and required so many conditions, verbally and in manuscript, that the fair Honora gave CYRUS W. FIELD. him the go-by, as she had done Andre ; and then he turned to the little orphans and fired off pistols close to their ears to give them self-control, and dropped horsealing wax on their naked shoulders to give them fortitude, until finally he fell in love with one of them. It was the old story, and the one he wanted he couldn’t get, and the one he could get he didn’t want, and they both married somebody else. Then he wrote a story to amuse the children of his lost love, Honora, called “Sandford and Merton;” and for a time it eclipsed Robinson Crusoe in merry England, but didn’t last, and is out of print long ago. Among other suitors there came along a jolly young married man named Richard Lovell Edgeworth, who ran away from Oxford with a Miss Elers, and married her before he was twenty, and had left her behind on the continent while he roved over England in search of fun and an affinity, as he had succeeded to an Irish property since his marriage which demanded something in this line to keep up the reputation ot the estate. He kept up the reputation until July 17, 1773, when, his wife having considerately died a few months before, he'returned to Honora, and was married to her on the above date. The beautiful wife fell a victim to consumption in a few years thereafter, and died before Andre did. Then the bereaved Mr. Edgeworth married Honora’s sister for his third wife, who, by the way, had also been sought in marriage by Mr. Day. before ho finallv decided on bach- e’.ordom. Elizabeth also quitted the world and the loving Mr. Edgeworth together, in a short time, and then he took a fourth wife in a sister of Admiral Beaufort, who stayed by him through life. Ho, however, seems to have thought the most of his second wife, Honora, as it is said he gave the name of Sneyd- borough to a North Carolina town in uer honor, he owning some estates in this at that time English territory. In spite of all, Andre appears to have been unable to get over his early love for Honora, and when first captured by the American forces in Canada hid a picture of Honora in his mouth while his captors were searching him, and managed to retain it, as it was one he had IIONORA SNEYD, ANDRE’S LOVE. made of her himself, he beng an artist of no mean talent under ordinary circumstances. He drew a picture of himself seated at a table on the day before he was executed at Tappan, which, however, is not a fair sample of his ability in this line, as he was expecting to die on that day instead of the next, and under these circumstances was not in the best of spirits, and neither is the picture, although we believe the original pen-and- ink sketch is held in high esteem by its owner. A better sketch, and one said to have been made by himself from which the one given with this letter is taken, the original of which was made in England before he emigiated to America. Among the curious things regarding the death of Andre are the visions and dreams which presaged it here and in Ungla.od It is vouchsafed for that in i /7b, seven years before he was executed he mY a visit to Miss Anna Seward, an and she described the scene, the court, the judge, and the surroundings with great minuteness. Once more she was quieted by her friend, who smiled at her fears, but again she awakened her friend by screaming out that they were hang'ng her brotlier as a spy, from a tree, and in his regimentals. There was no more sleep for either that night, and they arose and entered in their diaries the particulars of the successive visions, with the date, the friend trying to allay the fears of Miss Andre as best she could until morning broke and daylight banished the fears cf that dreadful night. The next mail from America brought the sad tidings of the death of Andre, as described by his sister through her visions to her friend in England. There is yet one more story of this kind in connection with his demise, and one which brings General Washington to the foreground. After the British evacuated Philadelphia and the American forces took possession, a banquet was given by the officers in the Springetts- bury manor house, near Twentieth and Spring Garden streets, which had formerly been used by the Penn family as a residence, but was a favorite place for entertainments at this time and for dinners given by the military to the citizens. It had been frequently used in this manner by the British, and now by the American forces. i Two ladies who had known Andre well when he hau been stationed there, and who had frequently dined at parties in this same house when he was one of the guests, were present at thi3 dinner given to General Washington and some of his aides. As they were passing through the groves of cedar trees and catalpas which surroundsd the mansion they simultaneously perceived a corpse dangling from one of the limbs in the uniform of a British officer, and while they stood terrified tne body swung round facing them, and though calm and stiff as in death, theyT both recognized the features of Major Andre, and then the illusion vanished. At dinner they spoke of the vision, and with such solemnity that it provoked a smile, and finally, considerable chaffing laughter at their expense, from Washington and others assembled, at their credulity; one of them especially remarking it as being the first time that she had seen General Washington indulge in hearty laughter. Shortly thereafter Andre was hung; and many years after one of the ladies seeing Washington agriji, he then Leing President of the United States, she mentioned the circumstance to him, reminding him of his mirth. He appeared troubled, and asked her to please never refer to it again, as the whole subject had been a source of great trouble and perplexity to him. The narrator states that one of the ladies was the daughter and sister of two of the first physicians of Philadel- phia at that day, :md t hat her companion was equally well connected, but omits who forthwith wrote to some friends *bf hers, a Mr. Cunningham and a Mr.Newton, that she intended bringing an acquaintance to visit them the next day. That night Mr. Cunningham, who was a curate and a poet, had a strange dream, in which he found himself in a forest and in a strange land. While looking about he perceived a solitary horseman approaching at great speed, who had scarcely reached tbe spot where the dreamer stood when he was seized by three men who rushed out of a thicket, and, after searching his person, laid hold of the horse’s bridle and hurried him away. The dreamer specially was struck by the lace of the lone rider, which was specially interesting, and his sympathy for him in this misfortune awoke him. Presently he fell asleep again, and once more dreamed that he was standing in a strange land, near a large city among thousands of people, and that the same person that he had previously dreamed of was slowly marched out between the files of spectators on either side and brought to a gallows, where he was hanged. He awoke in a fright, and the next day while waiting with Mr. Newton for the arrival of Miss Seward and ner friend, he told Mr. Norton of the dream, stating that it had left a very vivid impression on his mind. Upon the arrival ol the two friends he was horrified to see in the face of Andre the features of the solitary horseman and also the man who was hanged. Apropos of this comes the story of the visit of a lady friend to Miss Hannah Andre, just about the time of the execution. This friend shared the bed of Miss Andre, and was awakened one night by the violent sobbing of her companion. Upon entreating to know the cause, Miss Andre stated that she had seen her brother in a vision, and that he had been taken prisoner by the Americans. Her friend quieted her, and she again fell asleep, but Miss Andre started her companion from slumber by the announcement that she had again seen her brother and they were trying him as spy, me names, iHnaaefpc^ tournament 6 the return of gland, and inJ ligence of the death of Andre reached that place. Disclaimed that the treasonable papers found in Andre’s boots at the time, September 23, 1780, andjwhich are on file with the pass in the same library, still bear the wrinkles made' bv the impress of Andre's feet 105 years ago. Tne name of Anderson was also assumed by Benedict Arnold years afterward, when he was a refugee from America and ostracised from good society in England. He was doing business in Gaudaloupe when it was captured by the French forces, and lie packed h;s wealth in a cask, assumed the name of Anderson, and escaped to a British vessel, the name bringing him better luck than it did Andre. Andre’s executioner was a Tory named Strickland, who had been captured by the American forces, and whose liberty was granted on the condition that he perform the part of hangman on this occasion, which he did, an eye witness stating that he had so thoroughly blackened his face, with what appeared to be greasy blacking from the outside of a pot, that his features were unrecognizable, and that he looked frightful euough to perform any work of this description. The same narrator states that Andre’s two servants, who were permitted to attend him for the purpose of taking his clothes after the execution, were both dwarls, being under four feet, and that they were most gaudily decked out on that occasion, as he particularly noticed them standing at the head of the coffin after the hanging, and the body had been stripped of its regimentals, which one of them held upon his arm, the body being buried in its underclothing at th% foot of the gallows tree, three feet below the surface. After the remains had laid there forty-one year3 they were removed to England, in 1821, and the spot was lost sight of for some time, until a New York merchant, a Mr. Lee, in 1847, commemorated it by placing over it a bowlder, about three feet long, inscribed with the words: 4 ‘Andre executed Lai i took a leading ious tickets, to be worn by It was a grand and glorious triumph of mock virtue over vice, and tinsel over solid sense. 1*“ river was lined with boats and barges gaily decked, and the city was filled with knights riding about on horseback, for this was the festival called Mischianza, and the Knights of the Burning Mountain and the Knights of the Blended Rose met in mortal combat to shiver their swords in defense of their true lady loves, who were pres> ent and watched the fray from safe seats around the circle. A great deal of money was spent, and although Philadelphia had less than 30,000 population then, they had balloons, Chinese lanterns, plenty of skyrockets, and a dining room containing fifty-six pier mirrors and over 1,200 dishes. There were some military men who, of course, objected to all this knight-errantry business, and one of them was an old major of artillery in the British army, who, when asked by his child what was the difference between the Knights of the Burning Moun- lain and^the Knights of the Blended Rose, said that “one were tom fools and the other dom fools.i,YThe wife of Benedict Arnold, then unmarried, and her sisters were among the favored ones present, being the Misses Shippen, and by many it was afterward thought that it was through the intoE^&cy and friendship of Addre for Miss SMppen, the future wife of the arch-traitor, that the first treasonable steps of Arnold were brought to the MAJOR JOHN ANDRE. Arnold’s pass to andre. notice of the British with success. The pass given by Arnold to Andre, who had assumed the name*;!' Anderson, is still on file at the State library of New York at Albany, and the cut below is a facsimile of it, and it was taken from Andre by his captors when they made him strip under the famous whitewood tree near Tarrytown, and which tree was WHERE ANT RE WAS EXECUTED. Oct. 2, 1780.” A cut of the stone taken from a drawing made of it about that time, is given below. This bolder was removed by the owner of the ground, who objected to the numerous visitors, and was chipped to pieces by relic hunters until there was nothing left of it shortly thereafter, and nothing to mark the spot until Cyrus W. Field hunted it up with Dean Stanley .about six years ago, and erected a monument later on, which has been the source of so many explosive experiments. The only monument ever erected to Andre so far that has been fortunate enough to hold its own with the world is that erected by King George III. to Andre’s memory in Westminster Abbey, near the Poet’s Corner. It stands seven and a half feet high, and is surmounted by the British lion, and a figure of Britannia bewailing Andre’s fate. In the panel is represented Andre being led to execution, General Washington taking a letter peti- Aiary Touts a rah bit breeder.

St. Andre married a widow* who brought him 80,000 pounds, how’- ever, and this raised him a little in the public estimation, although the ladv was so imprudent that she was forthwith ci/smissed from the queen’s service It is also claimed that St. Andre at one time saved the life of the famous Vol- taire by holding the arms of the Earl of Peterborough, who, with sword in hand, intended to slay Voltaire, who was visiting him in England, on discovering some pecuniary dishonesty his visstor had practiced upon him. His guest fled from the house while Andre held the earl, so the story goes. Spirto Gentil. A Story of the Borealis. The place was the old Warsaw campground in Milton county, Georgia The time recently. A large and soriously attentive congregation had assembled for the night service, the negroes in the rear of the pulpit, as was the custom in those days before the war. The preecher was a talented young man, at that rime stationed at Marrietta. He had reached a point in the sermon at which he held the almost undivided attention of the vast audience, and perfect quiet reigned. Just at that moment, when the interest was most intense, an old negro woman hopped over into the altar, right in front of the preacher, and shrilly cried out: “Hallelujah i the judgment day am come.” Her joyful exclamation caused the crowd to look out from under the arbor, and, sure enough, there was a striking and magnificent spectacle. The northern heavens were lit up by a gorgeous aurora. .Not many in that crowd understood the phenomena, which, in fact is rarely observable from southern latitudes, and, not understanding, many concluded that the old auntie’s explanation was the true cne. “Ah! then there was hurrying to, and gathering tears, and tremblings of distress.” Indeed, so great was the commotion that there was imminent danger of a stampede and that somebody would be crushed in the swaying crowd. It was at this crisis a preacher, well known to Methodist circles, tall, angular, red-headed, with the voice of a stentor, ran out and mounted a convenient stump. “Be calm, my friends,” he shouted, “be calm. This is not the judgment day, for how could the judgment day come in the night?” The incongruity struck the people with soothing force, their fears subsided, the preacher finished his sermon and order reigned in W arsaw. — Fair burn (Go.)

There are sixteen carriages, of which the first is a kitchen, and then comes one for police agents, one for military suite, three for members of the household, and two for the imperial family; each grand duke having an entirely separate compartment, which can be fitted for either day or niglit use. The carriage of the empress has a spacious sleeping apartment, with a hammock bed, furniture of ebony and utensils of silver, and an immense looking glass. There is a bath room completely fitted, and a compartment for the lady in waiting. The empress’s sleeping room contains a writing table, a sofa and easy chairs. The emperor’s sleeping carriage is fitted with olive green leather, and contains only a bed and dressing table and bath. Then comes a sitting room, fitted very simply; and lastly the dining room, which is furnished with carved oak, and merely con- ta ns tables, chairs and a sideboard.

A particular man receives a blow on the head, you see. Now perhaps he thinks he recovers fiom that blow; he is apparently perfectly well; but the effect of the blow continues. A son is born to the man. What has become of the energy expended in that blow upon the man’s head? It is bound to continue. You can not get rid of that. The persistence of force makes it inevitable. Perhaps the man’s son gets along all right, and perhaps he doesn’t. But suppose that the son, or the sop’s..son, turns out to fee a fcqger, or a criminal of somfe soft— possibly a murderer.

If you arp too lazy to earn a living in jour own state, don’t come to Florida, This is no Utopia where potatoes grow ready baked and roasted and chickens walk around begging to be eaten. You must work for a living here as elsewhere. If your heart yearns for fashionable routs, soirees, five o’clock teas, fettle-drums, hops, and other social dissipations, Florida is no place for yvnt, Our society is the good, old- fashioned kind which refuses to lionize a man because of his ability to lead the german ! If you belong to the noble army of snobs, Florida won’t suit you There is no hero-worship among us Every man is as good as his neighbor if he is industrious, honest and persevering. Are you a member of that “codfish aristocracy” that judges people by their dregs ? Then keep out of jPforMa, and especially away from AI;tk^uid. A man’s a man here, though his coat be thread-bare and his hat old-fashioned. The wealthiest man in our town dresses the plainest, and the prettiest girl we have seen in Maitland wore the least furbelows. If you arc a grumbler, fault-li Uq\ pld fogr, dude, toper, gambler or gJnggard don’t come here—don’t! ly—none can but admire how grandly its people have shaken off these burdens and risen into a new and glorious manhood. It has been the policy of certain ghouls whose hold on the public “crib” depended on agitation, to be ever at work digging up the festering remains of dead and buried issues. Let no o$e be deceived thereby. The yells of the jackal frighten nobody, however much they may disgust. The bonds of union between the sections of this great nation are stronger than at any previous time in our history, and neither demagogues nor syncophants can rend them asunder. We thank God that it is so. “Let the dead past bury its dead.” Correspondence. The New York Tribune has again opened its mud batteries and is vomiting forth volleys of dirt at lloscoe Colliding. Wliitlaw IteicL than whom no more venomous creature ever lived, seems to think that the sole object of the great paper founded by Horace Greeley is to abuse all who oppose him. Like most men of few brains, he cannot appreciate a iToble mind, as he measures all mankind by his own contemptible self. His feeble intellect cannot grasp the fact that Conkling, like the fairy prince of old, is enveloped in an impenetrable armor—that of truth and honesty—from which his puny shafts fall harmless. ALTAMONTE NEWS, Mr. and Mrs. Coffin, with a number of servants, arrived last week and the “Altamonte” is being pat in order preparatory to being opened the 25th.

Ireland, a young farmer from Kent Co., Md., arrived last week and will spend the winter with his cousin, A. W. Wallis, at Frost’s Spring Lake grove. Mr. I. is so well pleased with the country and climate that he is thinking seriously of remaining permanently and going into business here. As cool as it is, Agent Rudisill is as accommodating and smiling as if there was a red-hot stove in the waiting-room at the station. Truth to tell, lie hasn’t time to get cold. The S. F. R.

THE DEAD PAST. Ip these days of cool and reflective historical criticism, the events of the past decade can be discussed without arousing any of the bitter animosities so prevalent during the bygone years. Sectional strife has passed away. The North and South are united in a bond of brotherhood stronger than ever before, and the only rivalry be tween them is that of open-handed good fellowship. The success of Lincoln is rarely questioned now, and by none less than by the South era people. The noble qualities of Grant, whose superb heroism was only equalled by his magnanimosi- ty, are unquestioned throughout the length and breadth of the nation. So, too, are the exhibitions of high manhood, Christian forbearance, pa tience under the most trying circumstances and adroit generalship displayed by Lee, freely admitted in the North. In the face of these facts—fact; that are palpable to all—how absurd, nay, how criminal are the vaporing? of a Sherman or the idiotic winnings of a Reid. The South long ago itc cepted the rgsult of the war in good faith, and entered upon its new era with an heroic rpsolve to do its best, And it js a striking proof of Southern nobility that, after passing through such years of terrible suffering as the Civil War engendered, no traqes of hatred nqr revenge are to be found. The War left ttye Sotyth poor. Stripped of every wreck of property or power, witty desolated fields, ruined credit, no commerpp, an alien population—and, worse than all, a blighted hearthstone in every fami- » • .

The Seminole Opening;—The Dew and elegant Seminole, at Winter Park, will open for guests on New Year’s Day, and to give all an opportunity to see the house before the rooms are occupied, the management proposes to celebrate the day by throwing open the entire house for inspection, from the Kitchen to the Large Promenade on top, from which ten Lakes can be seen within a radius of one and one-half miles. Everybody is cordially invited to come and see the most elegantly finished hotel in the State of Florida. It is especially desired that every citizen of Orange county should come and see the superb accommodations that, have been prepared for visitors to our beautiful region.

The Episcopal Church has been this week most beautifully and tastefully decorated for the Christmas Festival, and Divine Service will beheld at 10.30 A. M., Christinas Day.

We understand the music will be exceptionally good. War Declared:—Mrs. Powe, our pleasant hostess, has a gentleman fowl of the genus gallinaceous—in other words, a rooster. This interesting bird is of a sad and thoughtful disposition, much given to pondering over the sins of the world and the general depravity of mankind. Unfortunately he has an impediment in his speech and therefore his voice is not as musical as Patti’s, but that doesn’t inpair his enthusiasm in the least. He sings his song beneath our window at various hours of the night with a gusto quite appalling. We have argued with him; we have begged, coaxed, threatened and thrown shoes and things at him; but all to no purpose. He takes our mild remonstrances for applause, and opens his throttle yet a little more, if possible. We can stand it no longer. There is blood on the moon, and fire in our editorial eye. We have bought a Gun ! Now let our gallic friend with the melancholly air and bazoo voice beware! We propose to stand up for our rights, and if that reckless songster warbles again beneath our window, we will shoot the top of his head off if it takes all the ammunition in Florida.

'SPHRAIM BROWN, Lowell, Mt CHRISTMAS DAY. The Christmas chimes are pealing high Beneath the solemn Christinas sky, And blowing winds their notes prolong Like echoes from an angel’s song; Good will and peace, peace and good will Ring out the carols glad and gay, Telling the heavenly message still, That Christ the Child was born to-day. In lowly hut and palace hail Peasant and king keep festival, And childhood wears a fairer guise, And tenderer shine all mother-eyes; The aged man forgets his years, The mirthful heart is doubly gay, The sad are cheated of their tears, For Christ the Lord was born to-day. —Susan Coolidge. HOW SANTA_CUUS CAME. It was Christmas eve, clear and frosty. The sky stretched above, one cloudless canopy of blue, studded with countless gem-like stars, while the silvery moon shed her matchless radiance over all. The night came on apace, and the many feet which thronged the crowded streets, or entered the brilliantly lighted stores or saloons, whose tempting wares forbade that any should pass them by, frew less and less; while within the wellir.gs, whose tall fronts stood up against the quiet sky, many little hearts beat high with hope of anticipation, and many a childish voice might be heard importuning the good Saint Nicholas for the possession of some coveted treasure. But it is not with the rich that we have to do to-night; so passing the homes of affluence and pride, we will pause before a tiny cottage in a remote part of the great, teeming city. Very tiny indeed it appeared at first sight, for it was only one story high, and over the low roof the drooping eaves might almost be touched by your hand. A small wooden paling enclosed the tiny strip of garden in front, and a plot scarcely larger at the back of the house; and here lived the Widow Martin and two children—twins—a boy and girl, of seven years. The blinds that protected the two small windows had been drawn close; and in a low chair, with her eyes bent upon some fine sewing, sat Mrs. Martin, glancing occasionally at the innocent sports of her children, while a pensive smile rested upon her lips. Rousing herself at last from the painful reverie into which she had fallen, and which had drawn more than one sigh from her lips, she said, quietly: “Come, children, it’s time you were to bed and asleep.’ The children ceased their play, and came to her side; then throwing their arms about her neck and casting a bright glance toward the fire-place, where two little stockings were suspended, Nellie, her mother’s namesake, said for what we want, and then we can 20 to bed, mamma.” Mrs. Marlin sighed. Little chance there was for gifts at this holiday time. Alone in the world, her husband dead, and her only brother alienated and wan- j dering, she knew not where, her utmost exertions for the last twelve mouths had scarce sufficed to win for them the barest necessities. It was hard to disappoint their chi dish faith; and her eyes filled with tears as she answered sadly: “I fear Santa Claus will pass us by tonight, my darling. He is little likely to 15nd his way to our poor home.” “Oh, yes, he will, mamma,” cried Eddie, confidently; “he has never forgotten us before, and I know he won’t this time. I mean to call up to him right away.” * A-flight sound outside, at this moment, as of a foot crushing the crisp snow, caused Mrs. Martin to start; theu she resumed her sewing, while Eddie approched the chimney, and in his clear, childish VQice petitioned Sata Claus not to forget them, but to bring the overcoat, cap, and boots, so sorely needed, and whatever toys he could spare from his generous store beside. “There, now!” he exclaimed, stepping back, his little cheeks glowing with anticipation, “Now, Nellie, it’s your turn.” The little girl advanced timidly, and bent her face down with grave earnestness. “Dear Santa Claus,” she called, sweetly, * ‘please come to-night and bring us a few presents. •Mamma’s afraid you’ll forget us, but I know you won’t.” “Now, mamma,” she said,returning to her mother, with her little face radiant with the trust her words had in- ipired, “you ask him for something, and then he’ll come, I’m sure. He won’t disappoint all of us.” Mrs. Martin smiled through her tears. “You will have to ask him for me, Nellie. He doesn't listen to olef people.” “Very well, mamma. What shall I ask him for?” But Mrs. Martin didn’t hestr her in the emotions that overpowered her. “Oh, that some good angel would guide my brother’s wandering footsteps back to me,” she faltered, brokenly, “that I might offer him my forgiveness, and ask his, that I might once more have a sympathizing heart to love and lean upon.” She bowed her head upon her hands and wept, while the child, slipping from her side, again stepped forward to the chimney. “Dear Santa Claus,” once more she pleaded, “won’t you please bring Uncle Lddie back to mamma? She wants to forgive him, she cries for him every day. Oh, dear Santa Claus, say you will!” What made the little one start back, while a bright spot sprang to either cheek. Upon the low roof of the cottage a slight sound was heard, and then down the chimney came the word* earnest and clear: “I will.” With bated breath Nellie hastened back to her mother, who, in the violence of her grief, had not heard aught that passed. “Mamma,” she whispered, “Santa Claus was there, I know, for he answered me. Uncle will come.” Mrs. Marlin kissed her little girl with a sad, incredulous smile. “Let us hope he will, mv love. And now you must get to bed without further delay.” and laying her work aside she arose to see her little ones in their humble couch. While the chihli en had been engaged at their play a man had approached the cottage from without, and pausing in front of it, surveyed it gloomily. “And this is the place to which she has been driven,” he murmured: “he must be dead then. Has poverty soft- cned her heart, I wonder, or would she still drive me from her with harsh and bitter words? I have enough to lift them all to happiness and plenty; may I shower it upon them, or must I be a wanderer once more? If I only had some sign—some means of knowing whether my return would be welcomed—whether on this anniversary night of three years ago—-there is a feeling of tenderness, of longing in her heart, for me. One word of intimation that the past would be forgotten and forgiven, would reconcile us again, and make us both so happy.” As he stood there, irresolute, his eye fell upon the low roof, and a sudden and novel idea entered his mind. “The children will doubtless be petitioning Santa Claus for Christmas gifts; and how I should like to play the part of the good saint in their behalf, and far exceed all they could ask. With my ear to the chimney I could hear all they say; and if one word of tender remembrance reaches me I will go to her,acknowledge my error, and bring, on this Christmas Eve, happiness, joy and peace to her heart. There will be no one passing this lonely place, and there is no danger of my being seen.” Possessed with this idea, and trembling with excitement, he drew himself slowly and carefully up on the wooden palings, and from thence gained the roof. lie had scarcely secured himself at his novel post ^hen Eddie’s sturdy voice reached his ear, followed by the gentler acceuts of his little niece. Then followed a short silence; and disappointed and sad, he was about to vacate his post, when once more the soft silvery tones came floating up: “Dear Santa Claus, won’t you please bring Uncle Eddie back to mamma? She wants to forgive him, she cries for him every day. Oil, dear Santa Claus, say you will!” The man’s eyes grew heavy with joyful tears, and almost involuntarily, he made the answer which Had so surprised his little niece; and then sliding noiselessly down, sped with rapid steps toward the distant city. An h-A entering on an uncertainly; and as I was about to turn away, leaving the experiment untried, when glancing up at the roof, the novel idea occurred to me tc^Tawl up to the chimney and listen, it perchance the children might have their requests to proffer to Santa Claus. “I did so, and heard first Eddie’s, then Nellie’s voice, but no word of remembrance or desire for the wanderer; and with all the old bitterness sweeping over me afresh, 1 was about to turn avv^y from you once more, when again her sweet voice came floating up to me, with its loving petition for ‘uncle Eddie.’ In my joy and excitement I answered her, and then hurried awTay to fulfill , her requests. I have returned again, will you bid me stay?” Once more Mrs. Martin threw herself into his arms, with a burst ot grateful tears. “Stay,” she repeated; “that was the sound I heard, then, outside of the cottage. Oh, thank God, who put it into my darling’s heart to speak those blessed, blessed words!” “Amen!” echoed the brother, fervently; “but for her loving appeal I should have been a second time a wanderer through the world. And now, my dear sister, bid farewell to poverty and wTant from this hour, for I have enough for all.” Itw as a joyful Christmas morning that dawned upon that little household. Nellie and Eddie gazed with wide open eyes of delight upon the brimming stockings and the mysterious bundles beneath them; and then as their eyes wandered from them to Uncle Eddie, who had stolen near by unperceived, she flung herself into his arms with a scream of joy. “Oh, mamma, mamma, didn’t I tell you so? Santa Claus has brought Uncle Eddie hack to us, and all of these beautiful things beside!” Nellie has had firm faith in the presence and efficacy £2 the good saint ever since then; and/peace and plenty has flowed uninterruptedly in the train of that joyful night, when so welcome a Santa Claus came to the Martins.

Three years before she had been happy in the love of a ; husband and brother; now she was bereft ’ of both. A dispute, trivial in its com- I mencement, had arisen between the two men; both we.ie proud, high-tempered, and hasty; and although a word from her, fitly spoken, would have sufficed to pour oil on the troubled waters, and restore all to peace and harmony again, it was withheld; and taking sides with her 1 husband, she added her reproaches and j recriminations to his; and the war waged 1 fiercer and fiercer, until in a moment of j ungovernable passion she bade him leave ■ her house, and never darken her doors again. Bitterly had she since repented the words when it was too late to recall ‘ them, and miles separated her from the brother she had loved so dearly. And when at the end of two years her husband died, leaving his business affairs so complicated and embarrassed, that in a few months afterward she had been driven to this meager home, and despite her utmost efforts destitut\pn stared them in the face, the bitter sting of poverty added to ;ier grief and remorse, until it seemed . that life was too great a burden to bear; and her heart yearned to aching for the return of that wandering brother, and the soothing balm of peace and reconciliation. “Oh, that my sweet Nellie's childish fancies might be realized!” 3he murmured, sadly; “that there was some good spirit to bear my love and repentance to my dear brother, and restore him once more to my arms! That would be a blessed Christmas g’ift, iudeed.” Even while she spoko, a low knock sounded on the door. Rising from her seat, she drew the bolt with trembling haste, and threw the door open, to be confronted by a man, muffled up so as to be unrecognizable and his arms full of bundles. “Will you allow Santa Claus to fulfil the desires of the dear little ones who have asked in such loving faith to- niahti” he said, with a grave sweetness; then stepping into the room he laid his bundles on the table, and pushing his cap from his brow, confronted her. .*1 have come hack to you, Nellie, he said, holding out his arms; ‘‘for from the lips of my own dear little niece I have heard that I am forgiven.

They are larger from noon to twilight the next morning than from twilight until noon; they are smaller in the winter than in summer. Water and the sap of trees expand not only in proportion as they go below the freezing point. Low temperature as well as high promotes evaporation, and the trees evaporate from their branches in winter, and so the colder the weather the more they shrink. Attention is called by the Coal Trad& Journal, in an elaborate article, to the fact that the value of water as an aid to blasting, when used in connection with explosives, is rapidly becoming recognized in this country, as well as in the larger mines and quarries of Europe. Among the favorite points pertaining to this process, special mention is made of the fact that the powder, in exploding, bursts the tube containing the water,and —careful estimates showing—with in creased power or explosive violence; this is because the rending force is extended through the water, in accordance with certain well-known principles of hydrostatics, over the enlarged interior area of the bore hole, due to the space occupied by the water tube. A much larger quantity of the material to be mined or quarried is thus brought down or loosened with a smaller quantity of the explosive used. Again, tho heat given off by the burning of the powder ana surrounding gases converts a larger proportion of the water into steam, the elastic force of which assists in the operation of blasting, and the steam and remaining water together extinguish the flame and flash of the powder.

Y THE WEATHER PROPHETS. THE UNITED STATES SIGNAL SERVICE AND ITS WORK. Where Stor es Are Brcu eil ami What Tlielr Track—Why Wind Blows and Kain Falls* It was to protect the shipping of lake and ocean that the weather bureau was brought into existence by General Albert J. Meyer in 1870. From the twenty stations of 1S70 have grown 400. The sphere of usefulness of the service has devoloped with the number of stations. Beside warning shipping of the approach of storms, farmers and shippers of fruits have been saved thousands of dollars by being notified of coming rain or frost or the approach of a cold wave. It -was formerly the custom to mail reports and predictions from stations to country post offices that could be reached ;he same day the reports and predictions were male, and there to display them. The daily newspapers are devoting so much space and attention every day to matters meterological that the rural bulletins were discontinued in July. Bulletins are now displayed in every commercial organization’s rooms, and are furnished all daily newspapers, while from each signal station signals forecasting the weather for the succeeding twenty-four hours are displayed from 7:30 a. m. A square blue spot on a red background is a cautionary signal against storm. A round blue spot on a white background bespeaks rain or snow; a square blue spot on a white background means that a cold wave is approaching; a blue crescent on & white background Indicates clear or fair weather, and a blue cross oa a white background calls for local rain or snow.. The round red spot on a white background means high temperature, the red crescent lower temperature, and the red star stationary temperature. Since General W. B. Hazen took charge of the service on the death of General Meyer in 1880, reorganization has been going forward and the scope of the service has been widened. The Fort Meyer (Ya.) school, where tho observers are given a six or eight months’ training in meteorology and army signaling, has been put on a thorough footing. Students are admitted only after passing a successful competitive examination. They go out as assistants to observers. Then if they develop capability they are ad- vonced when opportunity affords. There are three observations made at all signal stations daily and telegraphed to Washington, where the predictions are made up that are promulgated to the entire country. When a severe storm is raging special observations are taken, and the information thus obtained is furnished by telegraph to stations in advance of the storm and akely to be visited by it. The regular observations are taken at 7 a. m. 2 p. m., and 11 f. m., seventy- fifth meridian time. Half an hour later they are forwarded. The operators on aiA. I/AIC ceitrgto. f/LA dfcl/lluJiO AL.UVS YT-UlC.- ,«*o stations are grouped sit at their desks, all other business is tak in off tfie 1/iae, and the operator fanhe*! from Washington begins sending his report. All the other operators on the line take it. The next one sends; ail the others take that. When Washington has sent its report all the operators in the section have complete reports of observations at every station in their telegraph section. Time is saved in this manner, and still further cut down by a cypher system, one word of which often means a whole paragraph. The observations result in obtaining the pressure of the atmosphere as shown by a barometer adjusted to a common standard; the temperature by the thermometer; the atmosphere’s humidity by the hygrometer; the wind’s direction and velocity by a combination of windmill and weather vane that automatically records its findings on a. paper driven by clockwork; the rainfall as measured in a vessel on the roof, which has a surface equal to one square foot and a preparation against evaporation; the velocity, character and* direction of clouds. The usual birthplaces of storms are the Gulf of Mexico, the West Indies, aud Vamtoba. Their courses are directed somewhat eastward. This is accounted for by the fact that the earth revolves in that direction. Those emanating from Manitoba travel southeast over the great lakes and pass off to sea by way of the Gulf of St. Lawrence. ThOfee coming from the Gulf of Mexico, l enerally cyclones, pass up the Missis- ippi valley and out over Lakes Erie ad Ontario. They also go east over he Gulf of St. Lawrence. The West [ndian tornadoes travel northwest until .hey strike the South Atlantic coast, vhere they curve to the east, and, fol- owing the coast line up the gulf stream, inaliy strike the track of the Manitoba nd Gulf of Mexico zephyrs. New- ouudland’s favored people sometimes et storms from all three of these hatches at about the same time. They ever complain up there of not getting nough weather for their money. The Vest India storms are the most robust f all. The supposition as to the cause of iorms is that, for some unknown rea- )n, certain parts of the country are eated to a greater temperature than ffiers. Heavy evaporation is caused, id the atmosphere is laden with water irried up by the hot air, which is srhter than the air around it. The hot r passing upward creates a vacuum to which the cool rushes. The dis- irbance thus created in the atmosphere rcharged with the evaporation of the kes and rivers of the overheated dis- ict causes rainfall. The near approach a rain storm is heralded by an increase air pressure and humidity, and a ris- ng temperature. Knowing the direction >f a storm and its velocity and extent by he observations taken in the signal tation, and the general knowledge of torm9 possessed, accurate information ;an be furnished as to when a storm will reach a given point, how soon it will j APEltCHERON HORSE FARM. pass over, how great will be the rainfall and how violent Telegraph. the wind. —New York WH ERE THE JUMBO O?

D. paid it again to E., saying, “I now owe you $15.” Then E. remarked to F., “If you will give me $2.50 this will settle my indebtedness to you.” F. took $2.50 from his pockefc.handed it to E., and returned the $5 note to his pocket, and thus the spell was Token, the single $5 note having paid $82.50, and cancelled A.’s debt to B..

A writer in tb«* '\‘^fw fl'oik Sun says that “the results of deep-sea dredging tend to show tiirtfc the ocean boLom, which has long been supposed to be in absolute darknets, is lighted by briiriant phosphorescence. I believe that if we could find ourselves upon the bed of the sea in 2,000 fathoms, we should see brilliant white lights, casting intense shadows, illuminating the bottom in an effectual manner. The groves of cou fore the spectator*' i Twenty five S inure Allies of Terra In Colorado Revoted to Raisin; Fine Draft Horses. A Denver (Col.) letter to the Chicag* Tribune describes the visit of a party of Eastern gentiemcn to the extensiv3 breeding ranches of the Percheroa Horse company. The party left the train at Dixon. Conveyances were h waiting, and the party were driven tm miles to one of the ranches of the company. These are six in number—five of them located on the plains a few mies to the south of the Burlington road, add the sixth in Elbert county, near Eli:a- beth station, on the Denver and Njw Orleans road. They cover an area of about twenty-five square miles, and on this vast range horseflesh is supreme tnd the Pcrcheron is the king. The drve across gave visitors an opportunity to get an idea of the extent of the donum owned by the company and the native grass upon which tlie stock is kept, m- mense stacks of hay showed that there was no danger of starvation sh'iulc a heavy snowfall cover the ground for my length of time. The fact was made known that never yet had this large reserve been drawn upon, and that as spring approached the hay had ®een marketed yearly, while the stock ftund jilenty of fresh, nutritious gmss -fer their consumption. But the ranch and its stables were reached, and the visitors were eager to see that portion of the stallions which are kept there. It must not be forgotten that this is only one of the six central stations of the company. Here in a number of roomy box-stalls the great, handsome fellows are kept. Each stall has a portion of ground outside for its occupant, wherein he reigns supreme. Each holds a stallion, some jet glossy black, dark mottled gray and some a lighter gray. These are the only colors. A bridle was thrown over their heads, and they were brought out to where they could be better seen. When one raised himself on his hind legs his head would tower high above the talljst giraffe, and the party admitted thal they were the Jumbos among the hors&s. From one point of interest to another the party passed, and, sooner than expected, lunch was announced. While the visitors were at lunch the men were out gathering in a bunch of horses. On they came, from over the rising ground, sad still they kept coming, until the corrals were nearly filled. Among them were sucklings, yearlings and twVyear- cAs, and the forms of the youngsters all showed strong marks of their Pereheron sires. These were prominent even among the quarter-blooded colts. As they Akih gathered in there was a better opportunity to examine them hseif arid see what the bum There of re so; handsome two-year-olds, an i the vounerer stock are in fine There are 3,400 Head ot horses company's ranges. Rosa Bcnhetr’s painting of “The Horse Fair” gives an idea of these Pereheron horses, but togee them in all thei; glory they nust be seen alive, that their motion ma/ add to the picture just as a photograph may be a portrait true in all its details of form and feature, but the spirit and motion are wanting to bring rctlity be- would shine with this light, shrimp and fishes would dart about, sceptre-like, over an illuminated pathway, each carrying his own lamp, and the whole ground would be one glowr of phosphorescent light. The bottom animals have eyes, and hence they have use for them, for nature supports no useless organ. One thing that is certain is that there is practically no glimmer of sunlight in these great abysmal depths; and unless we admit that there is some such light as I have mentioned, the presence of eyes cannot be explained. Certain animals retain phosphorescent lustre even after being brought to the surface, and it seems natural to conclude that in this way the ocean bottom is lighted. “The dredge comes up laden*with its precious load of deep-sea treasures, and the enthusiastic naturalists crowd around to explore the contents. Mixed up in a mass of mud are brilliant red starfishes, deep purple sea pods, delicate pink sea anemones, pure white holothurians, auU ugly black fishes, all peculiar in many res; cats. While the naturalists are busy getting the animals ready for us to see, let us take a bit^of the mud into the laboratory and examine it through the microscope. It will be found to be composed of countless numbers of microscopic shells, the testte of Foraminifera. They are usual y composed of carbonate of lime, but there are siliclous species also, and, in the shallower waters, sandy forms. Some are as smooth and glossy as the best glazed chinaware, showing beautiful concentric rings of different hues, while others rough and lobeu in a manner which defies description. Still others are the rao^t beautiful shade of pink, and some present in color a most delicate chocolate brown. We find them tubular, coiled, crown shaped, spherical, and oval, and in masses of lobes upon lobes.” The inquiry may arise why Peicheron horses are so specially desirable, and why should they be raised ia such quantities. Where is the demand for them, and to what uses are they especially requi ed? One visit to the breeding ranch will quickly furnish an answer to a host of such question^#. The Pereheron occupies the same reldL’on to the working horses that the _ fin(| hor- ough-bred does to the racing stock. Graded from the colossal thoroughbred of his species, and crossed with the native breed, the product gives a class of horses fitted for all work. For heavy hauling the pure blood, from their massive size, seem fitted to draw any thing that can be placed on wheels. The company sells no mares, but it is always ready to buy blood mares for its range. It retains all mare colts, and by constantly breeding it will gradually advance its vast herd toward the pure breed of Percherons. Five years hence its ranges will show great numbers of three-quarter stock, and in the mean time the lower grades will be marketed for carriages, transfer and other £ur- noses. ________ The four richest men in the worlJ. are said to be Mackay, of California, whose property is estimated at $275,00{X6CIP, Vanderbilt, of New York, $175,(Mh\0TO; Rothschild, $200,000,000, and the-Duke of Westminister, $86,000,000.

Ca- barrh is also dangerous, because it may lead to bronchitis or consumption. Being a blood disease the true method to cure is to purify the blood. To purify the blood take Hood’s Sarsaparilla, by which many sufferers from catarrh have been cured. “I suffered three years from catarrh, and my general health was poor in consequence. When I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla I found I had the right remedy. The catarrh is yielding, as Hood’s Sarsaparilla is cleansing my blood, and the general tone of my system is improving. My case i3 of such long standing that I did not expect to be cured in an instant.”— Frank Washburn, Rochester, N. Y. “I suffered with catarrh fifteen years; tried all the catarrh remedies without benellt, an l was about to try a change of climate when I took Hood’s Sarsaparilla.

It was the day of the wine market; and not yet had the sun reached its full splendor. Will you not try to picture to yourselves, my friends, a lateral valley of the Rhine, lying amid fresh green meadows, and surrounded on all sides by mountain heights, showing up as dim, aspiring forests, in the glad sunshine resting above it all? If so, then you have Eberbach—only Eberbach without its real glow, since that you never can picture without seeing. “Please buy my flowers! my sweet, fresh flowers!” The voice was very young, ringing and musical, and at the sound thereof many turned, to discover only a little maiden of some ten or twelve summers, pacing back and forth beneath the walls of the lunatic asylum, which since the time I am telling of has been removed thence for lack of space to its hew site on the Eichberg. A basket of myrtle hung on the one arm, while in the hand of the other she held a bunch of the fragrant sprays, as though to tempt, as it were, the passer-by into buying her pretty merchandise. A young man passed; he was the son of the pastor of the Cloister church, Johann von Hohenburg by name; his face was good, clever and bright, and his blue eye sparkled with the fresh, sweet glory of the world—a glory which seemed to fall also upon little Gerba, the flower girl, as his gaze then rested upon her. “I’ll buy thy flowers, little one,” he said, gaily, taking the bunch from her hand and leaving in its stead a silver coin. “This is too much money, Herr Johann, unless you will take all my flowers,” faltered Gerba, holding out as she spoke the basket for his acceptance. “And they are too many, unless you take all the money I have”—and Johann clinked together a couple or so of stray coins which still remained in his pocket with such a comical air that the child laughed also, in a way which was truly refreshing after her pathetic sadness. Only for a moment, however, did this merry mood last ^^^^h^noxt^nnj^in^ who in company with angels had helped to build the same while men slept. “I want to say something, Herr Johann—something which I fear you scarce will like to hear.” The child’s voice faltered, and her blue eyes looked misty when she raised them to his. “Say on, child. I won’t be angry.” “Well, then, Herr Johann, I want to tell you what made my father unkind and bad, and what made him go away.’ She was sobbing a little, and yet she would have her say. “Years ago, Herr Johann, I have heard that he was once good and kind, as you” (her hand touches his fondly), “but he did what you have done to-day—he tasted of the wine at the market; and, Herr Johann, I hate wine, for when my father grew to liking it more and more, it made him wicked and my mother miserable. It was her tears, they eay, which drove him to leave us; but oh, it was the wine which brought the tears to her, and made me without a mother. And now,* Herr Johann, won’t you give up even the tasting, lest you should go on to worse, like him? Oh, do! for you have been kind to me, and if I can make you promise to do what is right, may not God give me back my father some day, and through him my dear mother,too? I have thought of it so much, and it seems that the dear God who is so just will give me him for another, if I can but keep one from the tempting evil. Be that one, Herr Johann, for I love you!” And in the evening glow the promise was given. * * * * * * Years and years after, in the graveyard of the Cloister church, an old worn-out man knelt, weeping bitter tears over a little grave—tears of repentance and regret. Strangely enough, an unseen hand had guided Johann, even at this late hour of life, to the haunts of Gerba’s miserable and debauched parent; to him he told the tale I have told you, with him he pleaded earnestly in his child’s name, who was dead and gone on before to a better land.—E.

RELIGIOUS READING. Corrupting the Voting by School - Books Bad enough is it to run risks on account of the vicious character of the light reading sought after so much by the young, without having wicked mischief in the course of study imposed by law. Every citizen is deeply interested in the course taken by commissioners and boards of education in providing schoolbooks bearing upon elementary physio- giaveTy™towanf'^^^^fey^ walls, quaint old window close by, she said with finger on lip, as though in mute reproach upon herself, “My mother is in there, Herr Johann, and folk say she will never come out again.” * ‘Poor child!” The word of sympathy dropped deeply down. “It was about father’s going away that she fretted so much, never sleeping day nor night, and so—and so—” “Yes, I know,” and taking the child’s hand Johann tried to lead her away. “Come, I’ll sell thy flowers,” he went on; and so together they passed into the busy market-square, where men sold wine3 and men bought, while those who did neither yet paused to drink (as though about to purchase) from the sellers’ ample goblet, which according to custom is presented to all. And Johann tasted with the rest, afterward chinking his stray bits of money, and then with a laugh and a jest going on to another, till in time a remote corner of the square was reached, where stood many of Johann’s friends, gay, rollicKing fellows like himself, and who, like himself, judging from their flush faces and excited talk, had also indulged in the “pearl of drinks.” “How now, Johann!” And then Johann, holding up his hand for silence, told them of the child’s bereavement, and of his having offered to prove salesman on her behalf. Oh, but they had kindly hearts, though in many cases their pockets were well nigh empty- one by one paid for a spray of flowers as he could, wherewith to adorn his button hole, one by one said some kindly words to the little girl in turn, although from many of them, as Johann felt, the child shrank back in fear and dislike. Now the little one had no hold upon Jchann-none whatever; therefore it was in very kindness, the kindness of a true, loving, and manly heart, that, leaving his friends to themselves, he led her away__away to the banks of the Peteis- bornchen, which flowing from the moun- tains downward, sheds beauty in its way till at last it loses itself utterly and gloriously in the Rhine river, wh.ch.with its tiny power it helps to swell. It was a day of fairy pleasure to little Gerba, to sit there while her companion told tales of the past, of the wild boar who had fixed the site of the ancient cloister, and anu A Bishop’s warning. Bishop Foster, of the Methodist Episcopal church, says the great dangers of the church are “assimilation to the world, neglect of the poor, substitution cf the form for the fact of godliness, abandonment of discipline, a hireling ministry, an impure gospel, which simmed up, is a fashionable church,” and then he adds, “Methodists shoald be liable to such an outcome, ^lu that should be signs of it in a hundred years from the ‘sail loft, seems almost the miracle of history; but who that looks about him to-day can fail to see the fact ? The Church of God is to-day courting the world. Its members are trying to bring it down to the level of the ungodly. The ball, the theatres, nude and lewd art, social luxuries, with all their loose moralities, are making inroads into the sacred inclosure Of the church, and as a satisfaction for all this worldliness Christians are making a great deal of Lent and Easter, and Good Friday aLty church ornamentation.

One of ti e most serious antH*otable of the admirable after-dinner speeches that made Mr. Lowell so famous in England has only lately been published. It was called out by some allusions to the Christian religion made in the tone of genteel Skepticism quite common among the terary men of England. “Go around behind, sir, and git on; he’s an American horse, sir, and he hisn’t use to dem clothes yet; dey frighten him.”—Life, not evaded.

A Japanese proverb says: “A man took a drink, 'the drink took a drink, and then the drink took the man.” A Tne Russian government has decided that liquors shall be retailed only in hotels and eating houses. As a result of this edict 90,000 vodka shops will be closed on January 1, 1886. The study of the drink question in Switzerland has disclosed the fact that the use of aleoliolic beverages is largest in those cantons in which wages ar® lowest, and the people are the poorest. Drunkeness tends to poverty and want; and then this state of things fosters th© drunkenness. Beer is more dangerous than whisky. That is the verdict of the Scientific American, which sets forth that the use of beer is found to produce a species of degeneration of all the organs; profound and deceptive fatty deposits, diminished circulation, conditions of congestion and perversion of functional activities, local inflammations of both the liver and kidneys, are constantly present. A slight injury, a severe cold, or a shock to the body or mind, will commonly provoke acute disease, ending fatally in a beer-drinker. Blue Ribbon beer, manufactured in Toronto, and claimed to be a temperance beverage, was tested a few day3 ago on two men, each of whom drank seven glasses in an hour and a half and then became drunk. The court thereupon decided that the stuff was intoxicating. V1» Aixi those enemas of the religion which ia at the very heart of all there is good in civilization, that “whatever defects or imperfections may attach to a few points of the doctrinal system of Calvin—the bilk of which was simply what all Christians believe—it will be found that^ Calvinism, or any other ism which Maims an open Bible and proclaims a crucified and risen Christ, is infinitely preferable to any form of polite and polished skepticism, which gathers as its votaries the degenerate sons of heroic ancestors, who, having been train®, in a society and educated in schools!the foundations of which were laid by men of faith and piety, now turn and kick down the ladder by which they have climbed up, and persuade men to live without God and die without hope.” “The worst kind of religion,” continued Mr. Lowell, “is no religion at and these men, living in ease and xury, indulging themselves in the amusement of going without religion, may be thankful that they live in lands where the gospel they neglect has tamed the beastliness or ferocity of the men who, but for Christianity, might long ago have eaten their carcasses like the South Sea Islanders, or cut off their heads and tanned their hides, like the monsters of the French Revolution. When the microscopic search of skepticism, which had hunted the heavens and sounded the seas to disprove the existence of a Creator, has turned its attention to human society, and have found a place on this planet ten miles square where a decent man can live in decency, comfort and security, supporting and educating his children unspoiled and unpolluted; a place where age is reverenced, infancy protected, manhood respected, womanhood honored, and human life held in due regard ; when skeptics can find such a place ten miles square on this globe, where the gospel of Christ has not gone and cleared the way and laid the foundations, and made decency and security possible, it will then be in order for the skeptical literati to move thither and there ventilate his views. But so long as these very men are dependent upon A Burrowing Bird. A more quiet picture is afforded by the hill where the auks brood, says Dr. Brehfh in an article on the “Social Habits of Arctic Birds,” published in the Popular Science Monthly. They resemble the eider-duck in shape, except that their bills are sharp and not flat, like those of tne latter, There are three species of them, which are distinguished from one another by the length of the bill and its curvature. All three species live and brood in the same places. I was told of a mountain where a million of them had built their nests. I am sure of one thing—that no man has ever seen a million birds, even though he has traveled over half the earth. Doubting the accounts, I visited the described mountain. rowed toward it, over the smooth, trans- i parent water, between beautiful islands, followed by the screeching of the startled gulls. High above us on a towering ridge we saw the watchful ospreys; by our side, on right and left, along the shore-cliffs, the sitting eider- ducks. Finally we came to the populous part of the mountain, which is from three hundred and twenty to there hundred and thirty feet high, and saw really immense numbers of birds sitting on the ridges. The higher parts of the cone were covered with a brown spoon- wort, and as we approached the shore the birds drew back thither, and suddenly disappeared from view as if by concerted agreement. When we had reached the shore and landed, and were wondering what had become of the hosts of birds, we found the ground burrowed all over with holes that looked like common rabbit holes. We soon learned that they were the entrances to the nest- chambers of the auks. The holes are large enough to permit the birds to pass through, and then widen on the inside so as to give room for the nest and the two birds. As we climbed toward the height, the tenants first carefully and anxiously peered at us, then slipped out and threw themselves screaming into the sea, which was soon covered, as far as the eye could reach, with birds whose cry resembled the noise of a gigantic surf or of a raging storm. ----------------------------------------------------------- ~ * ITte Tall, Lank Man’s Scheme. The conductor asked ft tall, lank, bearded man for his ticket. “Hain’t got any,” replied the tall, lftnK man. “Where are you going?” “Chicager.” “ Seven thirty-five, please.” “But say, conductor, I hain’t got any money and I want you to de me a favor. If you will you’ll never regret it. Carry me up to Chicager and in six months ±’li buy this here railroad an’ make you the superintendent of it.” “Seven thirty-five, please.” “Carry me up to Chicager an’ in six months I’ll buy this here hull railroad an’ make you a present of it.

As the train pulled out the tall, lank man lifted his finger warningiy ahd exclaimed: “I’ll tap the great reservoir an’ turn it loose under your old railroad. I’ll buy Chicager and refuse to let ye run yer trains into the city. I’ll use you fellers for plugs to keep the heat from escapin’ when we happen to hev a supply on hand. “I’ll—” But the train rattled on and the words of the tall, lank man were lost am ong the rumble of the wheels. — Chicago Herald, A Proposal.

Description In 1874, Captain John Rich became the first white settler to arrive in the present-day DeLand, which was then known as Persimmon Hollow. After arriving in 1876, Henry Addison DeLand (1834-1908) began developing the area. The city was officially incorporated in 1882 and became the county seat of Volusia County in 1887. DeLand Academy, the first private college in Florida, was established by Henry DeLand in 1883. After a devastating freeze in 1885, many orange growers migrated away from the city, as did DeLand himself, leaving John Batterson Stetson (1830-1906) in charge of the academy, which was renamed John B. Stetson University (now Stetson University) in 1889. Stetson University was also the home of the first law school in Florida. DeLand flourished during the Florida Land Boom of the 1920s, but faced trouble during the land bust and the Great Depression.

Title The Florida Agriculturist, Vol. 10, No. 27, November 9, 1887 Alternative Title Florida Agriculturist, Vol. 10, No. 27 Subject DeLand (Fla.) Agriculture--Florida Description The Florida Agriculturist issue published on November 9, 1887. The Florida Agriculturist began publication in 1878 with Christopher O. Codrington as its first editor. Codrington, who was from Jamaica, was an importer of exotic plants. The newspaper was published weekly through 1907, but changed to a monthly paper in 1908. The paper changed hands from Codrington to E. O. Painter by 1887. Painter had so much success with the paper that he was able to create a printing company: E. O. Painter Printing Company. The paper was directed towards the farmers and fruit and vegetable growers of Florida. The Florida Agriculturist discussed different places in Florida, especially DeLand and Jacksonville, that were the best to plant, and which fruits and plants were in season. The paper also offered railroad schedules. In the late 1800s, with a large influx of Chinese immigrants, the newspaper recommended these immigrants as farm laborers, for the purpose of replacing African-American laborers. In 1907, Painter sold the newspaper and it relocated to Jacksonville where it would last another four years eventually ending publication in 1911. Some of the topics discussed in this issue include an industrial cooperation, artificial fertilizers, the Florida Shippers Union, Roger LaRoque, the Haymarket Affair, packing for the poultry industry, the fate of anarchists for the Haymarket Affair, the role of women in the home, malaria and various other medical ailments, the use of cottonseed as fertilizer, broadcast harrowing,new city ordinanaces for DeLand, and the Seventh Judicial Circuit Court of Florida.

Transcript Muha This is Jared Muha. I’m here on October 30th[, 2014] with Geraldean Matthew. Um, Geraldean, to start off, can I ask you just to tell you—tell—tell me a little bit about yourself, um, and who you are? Matthew Well, I’m Geraldean Matthew. I was Geraldean Shannon before I got married and became—became the—Matthew. Um, I come from Palm Beach County, a little place in the—on the, um, eastern shores of Palm—of Palm Beach. Um, I was a migrant farmworker. I’m the third generations[sic] of farmworkers—uh, of migrant workers in my family, and, um, we continued—I continued to do farm work until, um, 1972. Um, I can remember as far as[sic] back when I was three years old, traveling to see them with my mom on what you call a “traffic truck”—a “tramp truck,” and it’s[sic] taken us from Belle Glade, Florida, to the New York states[sic] to pick apples and beans—whatever state we were in, whatever the vegetable was, and, um, in traveling back, we stopped in a little town called Mount Dora, and from Mount Dora to Apopka, and that’s when we decided to stay here to work in the oranges, which was our first time ever picking oranges, and from there we ended up staying here in Apopka, and, um, I left home at the age of 13 and went out on my own and been out on my own ever since, and from there, I got married and I end[sic] up with six babies, uh—12 years of marriage, and then I divorce[sic] and from there, I had to take care of my kids and raise my kids alone, and I continued to travel, and in 1972, that’s when I gave it up. I didn’t want to put my children through what I had went[sic] through—changing schools every two or three months because you’ve got to move to the next state to work. So, um, we remaineded[sic] here in—in—in Apopka, Florida, and from that, I continued to work in the fields, um, cutting and jiving[?], packing corn, and picking string beans, and, uh, whatever else they had for us to do—working in the carrots, and, um, from there, I just got tired of the—the—the farm work… Muha Hm. Matthew And I went into doing the foliage work, uh—potting flowers, and that—I liked it pretty good, and I stayed there for a number of years, and then from there, I volunteered to work with the Farmworker Association[ of Florida] and I landed a job with the association, and I worked there doing different types of jobs in the organization, and, um, I started advocating for poor people[sic] rights in Tallahassee, and that was one of the most awesome jobs I had ever had in my life. Just having a—just a 10th grade education, it was really awesome, because I never thought in life that I would land such a good job, and from there, I started working, uh—after they laid me off ‘cause lack of, uh, grants, I start[sic] working with Orange County Health Department and then, uh, Env—En—Environmental Protection [Agency], and, uh, I worked there with David Overfield for a few months, and then I got sick with my kidney. Worked from December until April, and the kidney broke down and I had to stop working with them. I, uh, left them in June, and from there I got sicker and sicker, and I ended up on kidney dialysis. So right now, that’s where I basically is[sic]. I’m on kidney dialysis three days a week. Um, I just was told a month ago that my liver is gone. My heart—there’s nothing they can do. So right now, I have my good days, I have my bad days, and I just, you know, I have to accept what life throws at me and depend on the grace of the Good Lord. So right now that’s where I am. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew Um, there’s a lot of times, if I’m able to go to the grocery stores, um, I always tell people, “My job is not finished,” because I stand in the grocery stores and I talk with peoples[sic] about the use of pesticide in the field. Those that are still out there working. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew I’ve talked with them. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And, um, let them know that it’s not finished, you know? You’re still being sprayed with the pesticide if you’re still in the fields. Muha Well, thank you for telling me all that. Matthew Hm. Muha So you mentioned a few things that I wanna ask about. Matthew Mmhmm? Muha Some now and some later. The first thing—um, you said you were 13 years old when you went on your own? Matthew Yes. Muha So can you tell me like how that happened and—and what—what that was like being 13 and on your own? Matthew Well, the reason I left home when I was 13—because of a step-father, and, um, he didn’t treat my mom right, and I had a sister and a brother, at that time, and he didn’t treat them right. He were[sic] more like afraid of me, ‘cause I used to threaten him all the time about if he would hit me, what I would do to him. So I didn’t have to worry about getting licks from him, but he would beat my sister and beat my brother so bad[sic], and my mom, she didn’t—she wasn’t a violent person and I just couldn’t—I couldn’t take it—seeing her not saying nothing at the way he was treating the family. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew So one day I just packed and I left, and, um, I was, you know—I was tall. I was always a tall girl. So I could pass off for 17 years old, 18 years old—and that’s what I did. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And, um, I got a man—uh, a man and his wife to say they was[sic] my mom and, um, take me to the courthouse, and I got married. Muha Hm. Matthew And when I got married, then I was, you know—it was better for me to be married. That way I could—continue to help my mom. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And I didn’t move from around my mom until after about four years and—I was married and I moved to another town. Muha Okay. Matthew But I would come see her every Saturday. Muha Mmhmm, but you continued working at the fields? Matthew Mmhmm, I continued to work in the fields. Muha Mmhmm, you just did it on your own then? Matthew Yep, mmhmm. Muha Okay. Matthew It was—it was like—it was hard, but, you know, having somebody to help you, it wasn’t so difficult, because my thing was I always wanted to give my mom—I always wanted to make sure that my mom had—and I was able to help my mom. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew So after the marriage was over with of 12 years, then I continued to work, but I was always able to go by my mom[sic] house and give my mom money to help her. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew Because my mom was a young lady when she got—she took sick. She was 36… Muha Mmhmm. Matthew When she took sick. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew Mmhmm. Muha So yeah, I wanted to ask about your parents too. I mean, um, so—so your parents were farmworkers, as well? Matthew Yes, my mom and my father were farmworkers when they met. My mom was 13 years old and my daddy was 15 years old. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And, um, when my mom got pregnant with me at the age of 13 years old, my father got—was afraid, and my father, he was big for—big, big, big boy… Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And he ran off and lied and went into the military. So he was in the Air Force all his life. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew He made a career out of it, and in, um—in 1960, he come[sic] home and everybody was saying that I was his baby, and he took a look at me and said, “Oh, yeah, that is my baby.” Muha [laughs]. Matthew And they said then he wanted to be a part of my life, but he went back into the Air Force, and then, when he come[sic] back home, that[sic] when he begin[sic] to fight my mom for, uh, a part of my life. So they took it to court and the court give[sic] him, um—I stayed six months with my mom in Belle Glade, and I stayed six months with my father in Miami, and my father was called by mistake to go back into the military, and that’s when his mama and his wife decided to send me home… Muha Okay. Matthew To my mom. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And I never communicated with him again. When I seen[sic] my father again, it was 1972. Muha Hm. Matthew He came here and visit[sic] me, and I haven’t seen him again since. Muha Hm. Matthew ‘Cause he, um—he went fishing in Miami and he never was found again. Muha Mmhmm, okay. Do you remember any stories that your mother or father had told you about their days working on the farms? Matthew Yeah, my mom used to, um, tell us about when they was[sic] children and the sh—her mom and her father was[sic] together, how they would go to work. Uh, they was[sic]—they was[sic], um, picking cotton, and how they would go to work and work days and—I mean hours and hours in the cotton fields. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew Um, she mostly talked about my grandmother, but—because my grandmother was a slave… Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And she talked about—we talked about a lot of slavery in that—in our house… Muha Mmhmm. Matthew Because of my grandmother being a slave. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew Um, sh—I mean, it wasn’t no[sic] [inaudible] generation. Slavery was right at our backdoor. Muha Yeah. Matthew And, um, that’s mostly what she’d talk about. She never really just do a lot of talk[sic] about herself as a little girl, you know? Sometimes she would tell us stories about how the crew leaders would try to do little nasty things and stunts and things they would pull, you know—and how my grandmother would defend them and stuff. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew Yeah, and mostly talks about my grandmother and mostly talks about her father and mostly her grandfather. Her grandfather was—uh, mostly talk of the family was her [laughs] grandfather. They used to tell us stories about how funny he was and how, you know, he—he—after coming off the slave camps, he’d never taken crap off of anybody again and how mean he was, and mostly what they talk about—even ‘til today, they talk about my great-granddaddy—how, you know—how raw[?] he got and, you know, just didn’t want nothing[sic] wrong to go—nothing in the family to go wrong. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew All the way up until he passed away, but my family, they’re originally from Georgia—Fort Valley [State University], Georgia, and I used to have to go there after—if my mama didn’t feel like taking us up on[sic] to see her, she would take us to Georgia and leave me with my grandmother. Muha Hm. Matthew So I would stay, uh, the month of June, July, August, and come back when school start[sic] in September. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew We would go back to Belle Glade. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew But if we was[sic] traveling, we would go to school wherever we was[sic]. Muha So, um, you mentioned that, uh, you would travel, you know, during cer— certain seasons to—to pick in other states. Matthew Mmhmm. Muha Um, I’m wondering if you could tell me a little bit about that. How did—how did what you experienced in other states differ from Apopka? Matthew It was much different from my home in Belle Glade. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew It was much… Muha In Belle Glade? Right[?]. Matthew Different from Belle Glade, because Belle Glade was a very, very violent town. Very vi—violent, and those states was[sic] more calmer[sic]. You saw more respect. In Belle Glade, there was no respect at all. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew Because Belle Glade was build[sic] up on people of all nationalities. It wasn’t just the people from Belle Glade. It was the people from all over the Caribbean Islands, and there was no respect. If you was[sic] a child in Belle Glade, you knew everything that an adult knew when you was[sic] six or seven years old. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And it wasn’t nice. It wasn’t nice at all. So when we’d travel to the other states, we see the childrens[sic] more respectable[sic], it make[sic] you feel a difference. You be[sic] like, Wow, why I can’t be like that child? You know, and the schools was[sic] different, because Belle Glade schools, they wasn’t[sic] segregated, and those schools up North, they were segregated. So you got a chance to go to school—go—go to a—a school—a minority[?] school, and it was a big difference. It was like—the first time you went, it was scary, scary, scary, and as you continue to go, then the children begin to talk with you and you begin to meet friends, but when you first go—first start, you are told, “Oh, you can’t play with them little white children.” You know, because that was the way the South was out here. Muha Yeah. Matthew We could not—we didn’t play with the childrens[sic] across the track, you know? We stayed on our side of the track and the whites stayed on their side of the track. So we didn’t know the feeling of being with, uh, the white childrens[sic]. We didn’t know that feeling. Muha Yeah. Matthew So when I went up to travel up North, then we connected with that. That was—to us it was weird, you know, but then, as we traveled to a—we might be in say, New Jersey—the childrens[sic] are one way in New Jersey, and when we get up to maybe New York, the children are different wherever they are—different style[?]. We had—we had to adapt to that, but as we continued down through the years, then it became like nothing to us, you know? Muha Mmhmm. Matthew It was, you know—we expecting[sic] it. Muha Right. Matthew And it was all good, but I can remember the bad times when we travel[sic] and we was[sic] told that—we would stop and we would buy gas, and then if you needed—if one of the children needed to use the restroom, we was[sic] told that we couldn’t use the restroom, and by me coming from the Deep South down here—coming up here, we’d have thought it was better, but it was worse in North Carolina. Muha Yeah. Matthew You want to use the bathroom after you done purchased gas, they tell you to go out there in the cornfield. Muha Wow. Matthew And that wasn’t—that wasn’t right with us, you know? Muha Yeah. Matthew That wasn’t right. Muha Yeah. Matthew And it—it finally growed[sic] on us, you know? It finally growed[sic] on us, but we, as childrens[sic]—being a migrant worker, you really enjoyed, because you’ll come in—you’ll see things that you probably wouldn’t have never[sic] seen if you wasn’t[sic] a migrant worker. Muha Yeah. Matthew Yeah, because—like right now, you travel from Florida to Georgia, you don’t see any mountains, and back in our days, there were mountains. By the time you get to Savannah, Georgia, you got mountains. North Carolina on up, but now, you don’t see that like you did—did when I was a child. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And, um, childrens[sic]—childrens[sic] nowadays will never get the opportunity that we had and that make[sic] me appreciate my life ,because I got a chance to do something that children nowadays would never do. I got a chance to travel on the back of a truck full[?] the women and childrens[sic] going up north. That was awesome. I got a chance to stop - when they stopped the truck, we would stop in the mountains and we would go up in the mountains and we would cook our food, and water would be coming down the mountain and we would take baths in the water. Children would never see that now, but, you know, it made us feel good. It made us feel good, ‘cause the adult[sic] used to get mad. We out there, the water running down the mountain streams… Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And we were washing our skin and they were arguing, because we were so happy, you know? Muha [laughs]. Matthew We cooking our food and stuff and we so happy, and they would argue, because life was really hard for the adults that had childrens[sic]. Muha Yeah. Matthew To be on the back of a tru—of a—a truck—they called them “tramp trucks,” ‘cause that’s what they called us—tramps. We was[sic] either tramps or we was[sic] either maggot workers. We wasn’t[sic] called “migrants.” We was called “maggot worker.” “There go[sic] those maggot workers.” Muha By who[sic]? Matthew Hm? Muha Who would—who would call you that? Matthew The peoples[sic] in the town where we was[sic] going, and then we would live on labor camps. Some of them would have bathrooms and some of them wouldn’t, and we would have to go down to the river to drink—get our—get our drinking water. So find the river—once we locate the river, we come back—the children would locate the river. We’d come back and tell the adults that we located a river, and the adults would go down and would start getting water from the river. Bring them back to the camp in buckets, and when the city people learned that peoples[sic] the, uh—the, um—the migrant workers from Florida are here. Once the word get[sic] out, then there were some people from the city—like there was a company in Maryland, Merita Bread—they would bring us bread on the camps, and, um, there was another company that made coats—they would bring us winter coats on the camp. Muha Hm. Matthew They made sure that we had socks on—some of the camps. Some of the states we went in, they wouldn’t give you nothing[sic], but, um… Muha And the crew leaders would provide these? Matthew No. Muha No? Okay. Matthew These was[sic] peoples[sic] that hear that migrant workers was[sic] here working. Muha Okay. Matthew And they would do that in hopes of[sic]—when we would start working, we would come and spend our money to your… Muha Oh. Matthew Store or whatever. Muha Yeah, I see. Matthew Mmhmm. Muha So I wanted to—to ask about the labor camps, uh—the quarters. Um, so yeah, I mean, what were the quarters like? Could you speak to what the quarters were like here in Florida that you observed? Matthew Well, a quar—the places here in Florida was[sic] much better than the places—much better than some of the places traveling up north, because here, in Florida, you had the Florida Farmworkers Bureau here and they was[sic] on top of a lot of faulty living, but up north, they didn’t worry about you. They would—they would take you in the woods. They mostly built their camps in the wood[sic], but here, in Florida, there were eyes on you, you know? So you can’t get away with a lot of stuff that you can get away[sic] up north, ‘cause I can recall, in 1970, traveling to Michigan to pick cherries and apples. I can recall, when we got there, we saying[sic], “We[sic] going to the camp.” There was no camp. The guy had chicken coops—what you put the chickens in. Muha Yeah. Matthew And they was[sic] taking chickens out, and I say[sic], “What are they going to do with them? Why are they taking the chickens out?” And somebody whispered to me and say[sic], “That’s where you guys gonna sleep.” So they brought a carriage. they put all the chicken coops in a line side by side in a circle-like and they brought a carriage—they put a carriage on top, and you’re—from here up is inside the coop and your feet hanging[sic] out, and that’s where we slept. Muha Wow. Matthew And, um, finally, somebody came down and talked to the—talked to the owner of the property, and that’s when he began to build, um, a shed—a thing—a little building where we could go inside. So we had to go inside, but everybody was in one—one thing, and you had to put a—just a little sheet between you and the next family. Muha Yep. Matthew And that’s the way we slept that season. Muha Hm. Matthew In—in—in—in Michigan. I can recall, in Maryland, the crew leader had a horse stable, and, uh, it was a huge horse stable. I never seen[sic] one that big, and he parted off into rooms, and each family had their room, and that’s where we slept, but the male child could not sleep with—in—with the females. It—like my brother. Muha Right. Matthew My brother had to go up in the loft. Muha Right. Matthew And, uh, where they have all the hay at, and the mens[sic] had to sleep up in the loft, and the women slept in the barn—what we called a barn. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew You know, it was a lot of [laughs]—a lot of crazy ways we had to sleep. I mean, it was miserable. Muha Yeah. Matthew Miserable. Muha Yeah, but you stayed in quarters in Florida, as well, did—did—right? Or no? Matthew No… Muha Only—only when you traveled? Matthew I never stayed—let me see. I never—I stayed in a quarter when I come[sic] to Apopka. They called it “the Graveyard Quarters.” Muha Okay. Matthew And it housed migrant workers, but most of the people was[sic]—was like—had come here as a migrant worker and never left. Muha Oh, okay. Matthew Yeah, they come here as a migrant worker and they lived in “the Graveyard Quarters,” but they never left. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew They be—they just continued to stay there until they tore it down. Muha Okay, and—and who were they? Were they generally black Americans living there? Matthew Black Americans. Muha Okay. Matthew Mmhmm. At that time, there wasn’t[sic] no[sic] Hispanic farmworkers here. When I come[sic] to Apopka, it[sic] wasn’t[sic] any Hispanic farmworkers here. It was all African Americans, and, um, when it got really throwed[?] was in 1990-something that they faded out African Americans. They got rid of them. Um, I’m trying to think, and when they—well, before they closed the farmland down, they give[sic] us all our papers and told us that they would not need us anymore, but those that want to come out there and help clean up can come clean up. They, um—all of the black crew leaders—they laid them off, and they hired a Hispanic man from Pahokee, and he brought some peoples[sic] up here and he re—they replaced us. We demonstrated and demonstrated about it, but nothing never[sic] happened. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew When we would go out there and try to get work, they wouldn’t give us no[sic] work. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And it’s still like that today. Once they replace[sic] us with Mexican workers, the Mexicans would not hire us. The crew leaders would not hire us, but we get a job, we’ll hire them, but they will not hire us. It’s still that way today. Muha Great, so yeah—so, if I understand, uh, correctly, you said at some point in the 1990s, they fired most all the black… Matthew They got rid of all the black… Muha And that’s up in Apopka? Matthew In Apopka. Muha Okay. Matthew Mmhmm. Muha And they replaced them with mainly… Matthew Hispanics. Muha Mexican or Hispanic crew leaders. Matthew Mmhmm, right. Muha And those crew leaders hired… Matthew Hired… Muha Predominantly… Matthew Nothing but Mexicans. Muha Really? Okay. Matthew Mmhmm. Muha Okay. Matthew Yep, we got involved—the organization got involved. We went out there. We marched out there with Hispanic people. Hispanic people—there was[sic] Hispanic people that didn’t like the idea and they’d march along beside us, you know, but they never hired us back, and right now, I don’t know—have[sic] Jeannie [Economos] taken you out to—to—to—to the—where they[sic] corn is? Where they[sic] working in the corn. Muha Yeah. Matthew Well, right now out there was all African Americans doing all that work out there, but now it’s nothing but Hispanic people. Muha Okay. Matthew They… Muha Uh… Matthew Just plum out replaced us. Muha And—and do you know why they did that? Matthew Well, my—my—my thing is this—and I tell peoples[sic] this all the time, and I used to say this before they replaced us—that one day, we won’t have a job, and people used to look at me crazy and they say[sic], “What you talking about?” I say[sic], “One day, you will not be able to come out here on them muck[?] and work here.” I say[sic], “It’ll be all Hispanic peoples out here working.” That was about probably five years before they replaced us. We hadn’t heard nobody[sic] talking about replacing us. Muha Uh huh. Matthew But I felt that way because, when the Hispanic people come around, the crew leaders would—the—the—the crew leaders that owe—owned a pro—piece of the job would always have a big conversation with them, and, uh, African Americans I truly believe was[sic] replaced because you start—when they start working us, they started working us and giving us our money every day. When we’d leave the job in the afternoon, we were paid off, and if you pay me off and I drink, I’ma[sic] come home and I’ma[sic] drink up my money, and tomorrow I’m gon’[sic] be sick and I’m not able to come to work. So your job is still going on, but I’m so sick ‘cause I done[sic] got my money overnight and I’m drunk. I can’t come to work. That kind of stuff was going on, and there were many years you could see, at the ending of the season—every season have[sic] an ending. There was[sic] a lot of crops to be throwed[sic] away, Muha Hm. Matthew ’Cause the manpower wasn’t there to work it, because you pay me every night, I feel like, I—no, I ain’t goin’ to work tomorrow. I got me some money in my pocket. Muha Yeah. Matthew That’s the way I feel about it. I don’t know how anybody else feel[sic], but I feel that African Americans begin to lag on the job. You give them all that power and now you want to snatch it down from them. So the best way to snatch it away from them is to replace them, and that’s what they did. It was—it was sad. The year they replaced them, it was sad, ‘cause I was out there. I was, uh, working. Muha Yeah. Matthew And it was really sad. We didn’t have no[sic] job, and if you was a person worked[sic] seven days a week out there, and they replace you and you ain’t[sic] got nothing coming in—boy, it’s—it’s hard. Muha Yeah. Matthew It is hard. Muha Mmhmm. So, um—so this was—just for the recording—in 1996, uh, through 1998? Matthew It was in the ‘90s. Muha What was in the [inaudible]… Matthew I think it was in the earlier ‘90s. Muha But in 1996 to 1998… Matthew Mmhmm. Muha A lot of the farms around Lake Apopka were shut down. Matthew Mmhmm. Muha Um, but this was before that, you’re saying, when—when the black farmworkers were replaced? Matthew Replaced, yeah. Muha Replaced, yeah. Matthew Mmhmm, I think it was about ’92-‘90—’91-’92—’92/’93. Muha Okay. Matthew When African Americans was[sic] replaced. Muha Uh huh. Matthew And then right after that the farmworkers—the farm was shut down. Muha And do you remember… Matthew Only one farm was left open. That’s what they called the Sang[?] Farms. Muha Uh huh, and do you remember, uh—so before that—before—while—while you were still working, what were—what were relations like between black farmworkers and Mexican farmworkers, Or Hispanic or Caribbean farmworkers? Matthew There wasn’t any relationship because when they—when they—when they—if you go to work, and a Spanish person is in what we call “the stall,” in one of the positions on the machine or whatever, he don’t say nothing[sic] to you, you don’t say nothing[sic] to him. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew I mean, you work. If he say[sic] something to you, then you, you know—we try to—most American—most—most African-American people probably my age and down took Spanish in school. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew So we try to, you know, [laughs] comprehend the little Spanish that we… Muha Yeah. Matthew Took in school. “Good morning.” “How you doing?” “My name is this,” and… Muha Right. Matthew So on. Muha Right. Matthew Eh, but if they don’t say anything to us, we work all day and don’t say anything to them. Muha Okay. Matthew Mmhmm. Muha So… Matthew And then there was a Mexican guy come[sic] around named Mexican Pete. He start[sic] getting—organizing farmworkers and then he got a crew—he the only Mexican that had a crew, but he went to school and he learned English really good[sic], so all Afri—all African Americans likeded[sic] him. Muha Mmhmm, when did you start noticing, uh, Hispanic farmworker—like a presence of Hispanic farmworkers on—on farms in Apopka and in Florida? Matthew Yeah, well, on farms in Apopka, I started noticing them—a large percentage of ‘em in 1989. Muha Hm. Matthew Mmhmm. Muha So that’s when a lot had come or a lot had—you had noticed a lot of them, that had already been there… Matthew Mm… Muha But now made up a large segment or… Matthew They was[sic] coming. Muha They were coming? Okay. Matthew Mmhmm. Muha Okay, and, um—and yeah, so I mean, how did that—did that change the workplace at all before a lot of the black farmworkers were fired, as you say? Matthew Did it change? Muha Yeah, I mean, was—was there something different about, um, the workplace or the way the crew leaders treated you or anything like that? Matthew No, it wasn’t—they—hm, they just come[sic] to us and just told us what it was going be, and the crew leaders told the crew leaders, so the crew leaders probably held it under they[sic] belt a week—didn’t want to tell us, and then finally, it got out. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And then, when it got out, a lot of people didn’t want to believe it, you know? Well, those like me that were smart and—and knew it was going to happen, felt like it was going to happen, went on and looked for a job. Muha Okay. Matthew You know? Muha So… Matthew Most of it—most of the farmworkers, they, um, had programs trying to get them to go to school, but a lot of farmworkers could not go to school. They[sic] hands all cramped all up like that with arthritis, and they[sic] feets[sic] and stuff all messed up from all the, uh, sores and stuff working on the farm. Muha Right. Matthew And they—they just—they just could not—could not, um, take—they was[sic] offering us typing classes and computer classes and—wasn’t none[sic] of us computer literate at all, so… Muha Yeah. Matthew It just was a mess. Muha Uh huh. Matthew So I—I landed a job taking people to school every morning. Muha Okay. Matthew You know, picking them up in the evening for the trainings, but they knew that—the state knew that eventually they was gonna be that—deal with that. So the program close[sic] down and left the people shut out again. So you kept promising us—they kept promising us and promising us and trying to open up doors, and the doors that they were opening up, like the computer classes, they didn’t last long. The truck-driving classes did—I can’t tell you not[sic] a one man that got a job with the truck driving school. Muha Yeah. Matthew It just—every—there wasn’t nothing[sic] falling through. So right now, those of us that worked in the fields—all the promises that you made to us, right now, we don’t believe nothing[sic] you got to say. Don’t come telling me nothing[sic] about, “Well, they gonna open up a program, and this program going to help farmworkers do this,” ‘cause I’m not going to believe it because I’ve been deceived so many times. So that’s where we are now. So most of the farmworkers that work now, they’ll sit. They can’t do nothing[sic]. They’re on disability [insurance]. Our young farmworkers, you know—you done sprayed us with your chemicals all your life—all our life, because most children start working in the fields back in them[sic] days when you was[sic] six years old, you know? You take your children to work with you, but then, when it got in the—in the ‘9—‘80s, they: “Oh, you can’t bring your children in the field no more.” The damage is done. I had a daughter—three—had a stroke at three years old. Muha Yeah. Matthew Because she was in the field with me every day. Muha Right. Matthew You know? The damage is done. You done took ‘em out there for a few years, and then in the ‘80s, they decided that they wouldn’t let you—you bring your children in the field no[sic] more. Muha Mmhmm, alright. So—so you said after—after a lot of the black farmworkers were fired, most of them went to school on some program? Matthew Mmhmm, yeah. Muha [inaudible]… Matthew Yeah. Muha Numerous skills. Do you know what happened—So after they went to school, did they—did some of them find jobs in oth—other industries or… Matthew The only… Muha Do you know what happen to [inaudible]? Matthew Well, the only ones found[sic] jobs—the only African-Americans[sic] women… Muha Right. Matthew That found jobs was because of me, because there wasn’t a list of who were[sic] hiring you. There was a list of—for[sic] you could go and go to school to be retrained. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew That’s what they claimed. They was[sic] retraining us into other job fields, but what I did is[sic] I called different agencies that knew where women can get medical training, and a lot of women went to the medical training and they got jobs in nursing homes. They become what they call a “tech[nician].” They got jobs in nursing homes, they got jobs in shelters for boys and shelters for the handicapped, and the men—the men—they were hard—they were hard for the men. We got mens[sic] and—and—work up until [inaudible], and then they started dying. We lost a lot of farmworkers. Uh, at points you go to a funeral every weekend. Muha Yeah. Matthew Somebody you worked beside have[sic] died. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew Well, it was hard for a man to get a job. So the—the women became head of the house, and that’s when they lost their hand with the childrens[sic]. No respect in the house, because the man wasn’t there to put—to say nothing, ‘cause you’re not putting nothing in here, so the child[sic] looking at—you’re not putting nothing in here, so you don’t have no say here. So the—the bigger boys—they bullied their mama and all of that. So right now there’s a lot of crisis in people[sic] home, because the father was put out of work due to the closing of Lake Apopka. Muha Uh huh. Matthew They want to make Orange County this big metropolitan area. They swiped up all the orange trees. You can’t go pick oranges, but when you were—when you—when all of this stuff exists, you could take your childrens[sic] to the grove and make ‘em work. You—I could take you on a street here in Apopka, right now, with about 60 or 70 young men just standing on the corner, but they graduated from high school. Muha Yeah. Matthew But they still live home with their mama. They don’t think they[sic] got[sic] to go to work. The runs—they rule they[sic] mama[sic] house, but with me, it was a different story, because your butt was gonna go to work. You wasn’t[sic] gon’[sic] live in here and don’t[sic] work, you know, but a lot of parents scared[sic] of their children. They was[sic] afraid. They [inaudible] this day. Muha Yeah. Matthew The—the young boys run they[sic] mama’s house. Muha Mmhmm. Hm. Matthew It’s—it—it—it hurt us. It hurt us and I don’t think—I don’t think that our leaders of our country understand that. I don’t think they understand that—you got—and it’s so easy. It’s so easy to understand. You[sic] got to realize we come from slavery. We were poor. We were ran[sic] down all our lives. Now, you want us not to apply? The same thing you did to me not to apply it to my child? So my child disrespect[sic] me, because my child can say, “I’ll call the police on you.” Police come on out, what they gon’ do? Handcuff me and take me to jail, because I whipped his butt, ‘cause he stayed out all night long. That’s the way things are now. Muha Hm. Matthew And it really hurt the parent. It hurt—killing the parent. You can’t be a parent in your own house. Mm-mm. I got a 22-year-old grandson here with me. He just come[sic] back here. Last Saturday morning, I woke up, he laying[sic] in my bedroom with a girl. I said, “What is this?” I called him out and talked with him. This is no respect. All my life I respect[sic] my children. Now, this is no respect. Muha Jm. Matthew So I give[sic] him time[sic] period to get out of here. I’m not going—I don’t have to tolerate with that. I don’t have to tolerate with[sic] that, but you don’t want to go look for a job. He do[sic] not go look for a job. Daily, he laying[sic] up in here. You can’t—you—I mean, lack of work causing[sic] a lot of problems in your home, and there’s no work here for a young man. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew There’s no work. Muha Mmhmm. Well, thank you for telling me all[sic] that. Matthew Hm. Muha Um, so, I wanted to ask about ray[?]—okay, so I wanted to ask about—we were talking about, you know, what a lot of farmworkers did after they were either fired or after the shutdown of Lake Apopka farms. Um, for you—I—I know that you got involved in a lot of environmental justice work. Matthew Yes. Muha And I—I was wondering if you could tell me about that. Matthew Well, I was, um, like I said, advocating for poor people[sic] rights for a long time. Very young kid wi—with the organization, and, um, when I start[sic] with—working with the environment people in Orange County, it was like a different ballgame. I organized and organized and organized peoples[sic] to come to m—meetings, where we could talk about the rights of farmworkers, of laws that needed to be put in for farmworkers. Um, the first law I worked with was asking—giving farmworkers the right to know what type of pesticide was being used in the work area. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew That was the first law that we fought for. Finally, years of fighting in Tallahassee, years of walking the floors, I, um—they passed the law.<a title="">[1]</a> They finally passed the law. Muha What? Matthew Finally, they passed the law, giving us the right to know what type of farm work we were—what type of pesticide we were working in, after about 20 percent of African Americans in Apopka had passed away. Muha Yeah. Matthew And, um, we continue to fight for other improvements, like drinking clean drinking water in the fields. Muha Right. Matthew When I was there, there wasn’t clean drinking water. We finally got that deal passed, um, where we could have clean drinking water in the fields. Um, better working equipment for farmworkers, like rubber gloves, rubber boots, rain coats. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew And stuff like that. Some of the companies got away with it, but some of the companies went on and bowed down and gave us the equipment we—the proper equipment we needed to work in. Um, as far as going to the doctor, like accidents happen bad[sic] in the fields, and, um, we would go to the company doctor. Finally, we managed to get around that and, um, get a good—good—better medic[sic] care—medical care. Muha Yep. Matthew When we’d get cut sometimes, you know, we work with knives… Muha Right. Matthew And—and sometimes we get cut. Like you[sic] working here and somebody working there, they got[sic] their knives set up and you[sic] doing this here all day and your arm—elbow hit the knife and bust[sic] it all open. You got[sic] to go to the hospital, and they don’t take you to the hospital. They take you to a regular doctor, and he patch[sic] you up and send[sic] you home. Muha Yeah. Matthew We finally got, you know, help with that, but a lot of changes. We see a lot of changes, but it’s[sic] still a long way to go. Muha Yeah. Matthew Still a long way to go because they’re still using pesticide. They’re still making pesticide. They’re still using pesticide. Our babies are still being born deformed, so we have a long way to go. Muha Yeah, yeah. Absolutely, and, you know, you mentioned your—your kids and your grandkids… Matthew Mmhmm. Muha A few times throughout this. I—I’m wondering how they perceived farm labor. Did any of them have interest in doing that, or… Matthew Well, my kids worked the fields. Muha Right. Matthew All six of my kids worked the fields. My grandkids never worked the fields, because when they came along, I was stone against them going in the fields. Um, they came along at the ending of the term, where[sic] children were no longer to go out there anyway. So they didn’t get a chance to work the fields, but, um, all of my kids did. Muha Mmhmm. Okay, and, um, lastly from you, I think, I wanted to ask about the book, Fed Up[: the High Costs of Cheap Food], um, by Dale Finley Slongwhite. Um, could you tell me a little bit about that and your part in that? Matthew Fed Up is a book that I’m proud of and I’m not proud of. The reason I say “I’m proud of,” because[sic] it was the first book that I ever had been involved in, and “I’m not proud of” is because I think that I left a lot out the book, and, um, I wanted to do three versions of the book. So I had[sic] talked with, um, what’s her name? [phone rings] Matthew Do a second version and a third version, but if I can do the second version, maybe I could capture a lot of stuff I left out. [phone rings] Matthew It’s like I was saying, um, there’s a lot I want to add to Fed Up. Um, and I would like more pictures in the book, because, um, peoples[sic] really need to actually see what our peoples[sic] are going through—um, the lesions on the s—the legs, the feet, the amputations of the toes, the amputation of the feet, legs—because of all of the pesticide where it had deteriorated the skin, and, um, I’d like to get more[sic] deeper into the labor camps. It’s[sic] a lot that I left out, because I wasn’t thinking. I’m thinking that, uh, when the book was gonna be wrote[sic], it gonna be like a mini-book [laughs]. I didn’t realize it was gonna be a story—um, a nice book. I’m just looking at it like it’s gonna be a—be a little, short mini-book, and, um, I imagine everybody that played a part in the book—about eight of us— I would imagine if—if everybody can really redo their story, it’ll be more awesome than what it is. Muha Yeah. Matthew Because a lot of people left out stuff that should’ve been told, you know? There was a—um, a lot of death in our family, due to, um, the DDT<a title="">[2]</a> that they used. People lost their family, and they didn’t talk about that in the book. Um, how we come from work and we[sic] riding on the bus, and when we get home, we think the other person sitting over on the bus sleeping[sic]. The person dead[sic], because of the chemicals that we worked in all day long. Muha Yeah. Matthew We didn’t talk about that in the book, and I would like to, you know, let people know these things actually happen. You[sic] going home from work and when you get there you[sic] hollering, “Mr. Clyde! Mr. Clyde!” And you—“Mr. Clyde!” You think he[sic] sleep. He[sic] dead, you know? Muha Yeah. Matthew Those things happen, and we didn’t talk about none of that in the book. We didn’t know how much room or space or whatever we had in the book. Muha Yeah. Matthew So I asked her about second and third version, and we didn’t—a lot of stuff—when I read the book, on my—my part of the book, I—I wasn’t pleased. I wasn’t happy with—with—with the part that I wrote—that she wrote for me, and then I read the other people[sic] part, and I know their history, and same thing with them. You know, they don’t talk about it, ‘cause[sic] when you say, uh, “We gon’[sic] write a book.” You know, you—you never wrote a book before, so you[sic] not—you[sic] not thinking good, you know? Muha Yep, right. Matthew But if we can—another book could re—be redid[sic] [laughs], it’d be awesome. Muha Yep. Matthew We left a lot out. Muha Well, is there anything—you said you—there are things you wanted—wish you could’ve included. Is there anything that you haven’t told me thus far that you want to include in this interview? Uh… Matthew Well, in—in—in the book? I talked a little about the treatment of the African-American women and the crew leaders. Not the growers, the crew leaders. I talked just a little bit about that. That should’ve been brought wide open. Should’ve been blowed[sic] up, because a lot of young girls have babies—they’ll never know who the father[sic], because the crew leaders and his[sic] what we call “henchmens”[sic] would come in and have sex with those girls like they was—they wanna, you know? Muha Yeah. Matthew And we didn’t express too much of that in the book. Muha Right. Matthew You know? If you had a father that drank, a mother that drank—oh, God. You didn’t have nobody[sic] in your corner. The crew leaders do whatever they want to do. Mmhmm, yeah. Muha Mmhmm. Matthew As I can recall, one time I was going—my mom had got[sic] me up early. Uh, our day begin[sic] by five o’clock, and she sent me to the store to get a loaf of bread and there was a man waiting in the dark on me when I got to get the bread, and he jumped right at me and grabbed me, but I was so fast I snatched the loaf from him and I ran home and I told my mom, and my mom went over there and my mom jumped on the man and told him don’t try anything like that on none[sic] of her childrens[sic] again in life. She would kill him, and I—we never had problems with him again, but just imagine if I had a mama that didn’t do that. Every time he saw me, he would’ve give[sic] me a problem. Muha Yep. Matthew But my mama let him know that, you know, she was not taking no crap like that. Muha Right. Matthew But then a lot of the girls, their mama never say[sic] one word, and it went over and over and over again. Muha Uh huh. Matthew Mmhmm. Muha Thank you for telling me that. Matthew Yes. Muha Is there anything else you want to tell me before we conclude the interview? Matthew That’s it. Muha That’s it. Matthew That’s about it. Muha Okay. Well, thank you so much, Geraldean. Matthew Okay. Muha Again, this was Jared Muha and Geraldean Matthew on October 30th, 2014. Okay, this is Jared Muha with Geraldean Matthew on October 30th again, uh, for a second session interview. Um, Geraldean, I wanted to ask, uh, what is your impression of, uh, farms today in Florida and, you know, treatment of Latino workers, uh, who are on the farms? Matthew You know, the farms today have changed very much because now most farmworkers, uh, get their own place to stay, but, as for the Latino workers—women—the ones that are still housed in labor camps, they are treated really bad[sic] by the crew leaders. If they are undocumented and have daughters, the crew leaders think that the daughter should be their woman or their wife or their girlfriend, and they mistreat the women very bad[sic]. Um, what brought that to my attention was, uh, when I was doing HIV<a title="">[3]</a> prevention, went into the homes talking and, um, passing out, uh, HIV materials on the camps, uh—how the men would treat the women when they tried to get protection. They didn’t want the women to get condoms for—from us or female condoms from us or whatever. So it’s a problem to me, because it seems like nobody[sic] really paying that Latino group attention, just like they didn’t pay the African-American group attention back in the ‘50s, ‘60s, ‘70s, and ‘80s. So, um, it kind of bothers me a lot, you know, seeing that happening, and, um, seeing how the women have to take up their young children—their young daughters and run at night and try to find another place when the crew leaders come, um, pounding on their doors and demanding that they open the doors and demanding for[sic] sex. I don’t think that should be like that, and yes, it does disturb me. Muha Mmhmm. Well, thank you for telling me that. Uh, is there anything else you wanted to include? Matthew That’s it. Muha Okay. Matthew That’s all.

Trailers--United States Description A postcard depicting the Bradenton Trailer Park, which was the largest trailer park in the world at the time that this postcard was published in the 1950s. The trailer park was built on Tamiami Trail just south of Bradenton's business section, by the Bradenton Kiwanis Club in 1936. By the 1940s, the Bradenton Trailer Park had installed electric meters, paved streets, and continuous entertainment. By 1950, the trailer park had reached its maximum capacity with 1,190 lots. Lots were enlarged and the total number was decreased to 600 in 1966. In the 1990s, the Kiwanis sold the Bradenton Trailer Park, due to the Internal Revenue Service's (IRS) to disallow the use of the trailer park for charitable purposes.

Title Winter Haven Collection Alternative Title Winter Haven Collection Description Collection of digital images, documents, and other records depicting the history of Winter Haven, Florida. Series descriptions are based on special topics, the majority of which students focused their metadata entries around. The Timucua and the Calusa were the earliest known inhabitants of the Winter Haven area. When the Spanish, especially Hernando de Soto, arrived, the indigenous people of the area were decimated by war and disease. The Seminole Indians migrated to the area in the 19th century. Chipco, the Seminole leader, led several skirmishes during the Seminole Wars. After the United States acquired Florida, American and European settlers began to settle the area. However, significant growth did not occur until the expansion of railroads throughout Florida. In 1884, the area was platted and known as Harris Corners, referencing F. A. K. Harris, who opened the first mercantile store in the area. It was later named Winter Haven. The City of Winter Haven was incorporated in 1911. The first Florida land boom occurred in the 1920s, but was slowed down during the Great Depression. In 1930, George W. Jenkins opened the first Publix supermarket in Winter Haven. Citrus magnate John A. Snively operated one of the world's largest fruit packing plants in Winter Haven in the 1930s and 1940s. In 1936, Dick Pope, Sr. and his wife, Julia Pope, opened Cypress Gardens, considered to be America's first theme park. The park operated for decades until it closed in 2009.

During his 1539 expedition, Hernando de Soto (ca. 1500-1542) occupied the Apalachee town of Anhaica, which is now known as Tallhassee. Nearly hree centuries later, in 1824, Tallahassee was selected as the capital of the Territory of Florida. During the first half of the 19th century, Tallahassee stood at the center of Florida's Cotton Belt and was a major hub for the slave trade. Various colleges were established in the 1840s and 1850s, such as the Tallahassee Female Academy and the Florida Institute, which would evolve into Florida State University (FSU). During the American Civil War, Tallahassee became the only Confederate state capitol east of the Mississippi River to not be captured by Union forces. During the 20th century, Tallahassee's economy was primarily driven by its colleges and state government.

Other pioneer families include the Webbs, Lewis Colson, the Brownings, John Hamilton Gillespie (1852-1923), Owen Burns (1869-1937), and Bertha Palmer (1849-1918). The Village of Sarasota was incorporated, with Gillespie as mayor, in 1902, the same year that the West Indies Railroad was extended to the area. Sarasota was re-platted in 1912 and incorporated as a city in 1913, under the leadership of Mayor A. B. Edwards. Several of the Ringling brothers, who established the Ringling Brothers Circus in 1884, also settled in Sarasota. Charles Edward Ringling (1863-1926) and John Ringling (1866-1936) were especially instrumental in the development of Sarasota.

Title Sarasota Trailer Park Recreation Center Postcard Alternative Title Sarasota Trailer Park Postcard Subject Sarasota (Fla.) Trailers--United States Description A postcard depicting the Sarasota Trailer Park's recreation center in Sarasota, Florida. To the right of the postcard is the Trailer City Headquarters, which housed a grocery store and a post office substation. The trailer park was founded in the 1920s on land donated to the City of Sarasota by Calvin Payne. In the 1980s, there was public controversy regarding the misuse of the land because it had been deeded specifically for public park space. In 2007, the land was reopened as a public park.
