R. J. Guinn, the superintendent—you know ‘Bob’ Guinn— well, he don’t have any foolishness. He is pleasant and lovin’ and all that, but every thing has to come up to the scratch. A teach er is not allowed to miss one of these Wed nesday night teachers’ meetings unless Provi dentially hindered, and on Sunday morning the teacher who gets to the church twenty THE CHARMS OF “TREASURE ISLAND” • '* ■- . . ~ ; : -—— . . „ ~ <.-*• ' iniJdTiw ' i iW»^ujb.iniiiilW)oi»n?'-;i~K»" ll 2iLii •■•-^■^y’- v -2itL''y^'t':''’ ''' '~ “t ■ .7. -- • ■ --, .~ iiJ,; ■<■" >- '■ ■ _ -—-'-r:"' - -».<£- -<gwU-.-- -' - ~y -- »?• ’ iJ-,-4.**' rjL- ~ ’ ,-xtfccy s ' < i'T > V , M " 1,1 In the recent issue of The Golden Age carrying the front page story, “The Wonders of Treasure Island,” our space gave out before we could use some of the cuts made for the story, lhey are such striking illustrations of the “wonders” of this beautiful property at Leesburg, Florida, that we give them here, along with a detailed description of the property. Having seen and studied “Treasure Island” and “Welikit Nurser ies” —this remarkable combination of fascination and profit in and. on beautiful Lake Griffin, the Editor of The Golden Age expresses the candid conviction that there is nothing else in all the South that is its equal as a fascinating, profit-bearing investment.
