Her magnificent bay is .destined to make Tampa a great seaport.town, when con ticclrd with the world by railways. There is even now considerable shipping being done in fish, oysters and vegetables.

Fome five or six stores are established hero., and it is a place of cwUSldtJaLU busixke^-'" Most rri the ding ia with the stock men and stock traders, who handle more money, as a general thing, than any other class in South Florida. Fort Mead has full ac cc*s to the stock countries. Polk county joins Hillsboro* Sumter, Orange and Brevard counties, these com prising the great orange-growing section of the xState. Polk abounds in lakes, stocked with fine trout. Its surface is 'modulating. Io the vicinity of lease creek is large boditi* of rich lands, both pine and hammock, which are well tim bered ; aud some of the most pleasant settlements which can be found in Houth era Florida are here. T he pine lands, generally large bodies, are elevated. The population of this cotjnty is about 4,000, very few col or ed. It favorably compares with Hillsboro, in farming, eto. In my opinion, Polk possesses a region • of r lake u country unsurpassed by any section Among it. hill, and lake, invalid, would revel m earthly glory, and there eeeking a retired and oeautifol winter residence could find no place that afforded abetter. But it lack, one great esrential—’tie not opened up, Uolated and but thinly aet tled, with no eelabliebed communication with the outer world. Of Orange county I can only mention the .mall portion I saw. It follow. Hill. boro in it. general feature., lacking the seacoast and bay.

Fruit and garden vegetables arc profitable early in the season, the latter being the «>urce of a largereve nue. There i. plenty of vacant land now, but I can safely prophecy that in leas than three year, there will be very little of none at all. N ew comers should have a little capital, esp ecially if they ; are going into fruit-growing. Orange trees commence to bear io seven year*. One who does not farm, and trusts alone to this business, must wait this time be¬ fore he realizes any return.
