BUILDING TOWNS.
In this great age of progress more
than have given the matter proper
thought have well set ideas about
howto build towns. Some things
are at once manifest to the general
mind and among these is the fact
that it takes great industry,push and
a judicious outlay of capital. The
croaker is recognized as the barrier
to development wherever ho may be
found. A writer in a Louisiana
journal, although his effusion is full
of irony, seems to have hit upon
some points worthy to be remem
bered. Here are his remarks and
they merit a careful perusal:
In the first place you select your loca
tion—one that is central and the sur
roundings of which abound in natural
and undeveloped resources. Not that
you will develop or need them, but they
will come handy to your grandchildren.
To find when you are at this exact cen
ter look all round you, and if the skv
shuts down evenly you are all right and
can begin to lay tne foundations of your
shanty, which future generations are to
point out as the home of Colonel Hope
ful, the ohiest inhabitant.
Having broken ground von can go
ahead and put up the usual blacksmith
shop and grocery store and invite immi
gration. You prosper, of course, and
the peoplo settle around, and in the
course of time when vonr moans become
larger we would advise that you lay off
more town lots and buy a few thousand
acres of the surrounding country; you
won’t need it, of course, but you have as
good a right to raise a few grasshoppers
and broomsedgo on your own fields as
anv one else; besides, you want some
thing to swear about at odd times, when
as you get old and the widows and or
phans—the landless poor- cut fire
wood on your land, and besides this you
mavas w'oll have something for the law
yers to talk about in winding up your
estate as anv one else.
By this time you will have boomed the
village enough to begin to have varied
industries and a good many rivals in
your individual line of business. Peter
Frank will open the jewelry store and
bang his big sign out, and KlotiA l>rev
fous will back up Henry Cohen in a dry
goods venture, while Wetoskie will
bring up the rear with a rousing assort
ment of plantation supplies, etc., and
the village begins to wear the smile ot
the vernal year. You have been indus
trious and su'-cesful, but you find the
sand crawling out from under your feet,
and that mankind has come to see what
can ho done. Be patient; they have
come to stay, and you may make the
most of it. "Some or them may want to
buv a lot—don’t sell it to them Have
one policv; never repair or paint a
huuse, and never sell a house to any one.
It will be fifty or a hundred years before

veloped resources, hut don’t mind a tri
fle like that. .
People will want you to take stock in
street railroads, gas or electric light
companies and other manufactories, and
hand round the hat for contributions to
a general immigration fund. Don’t
give a cent. If a man comes all the
wav from the north or west to put up
manufactories, tell him a few big lies
about vour locality, try to skin on him
a building site, hut don’t help any your
self. Others put up the money and do
all this and vou will shan the advan
tage—you will he the still hog that gets
the slop. When after years of struggle,
these companies begin to pay six or
eight per cent, call them monopolies,
their owners blasted bond holders, and
stir up the ignorant and Jealous against

A FAIR FLORIDIAN
Writes an Interesting Letter to
the Cou rant -A m erica n.
ThoughtH of Thing* in Bartow County—
Some MaKiiitleeut I'loritia Scenery-
Some IntereMting ItellcH.
Since reading the Coil runt-Ameri
can of April 17th, which I have I
just laid aside, I began to ruminate
(as Bill Arp says) on old Georgia
and Georgia people. How glad Ij
am to see that the people and state ;
are prospering. Dear old Georgia
—home of my birth, “My native
land 1 love thee still.” Everything
that comes from the old county of
Bartow is of interest to me, whose
home was once there.
***
“W. C. W’s.”last article in regard
to ’Squire Farris’ fondness for jokes
brought to mind many little inci
dents of my childhood. I remem
ber when small to have heard my
mother speak of the ’squire’s love
of a good joke, and of bow one
morning lie came by our house en
route to the home of Col. Price, and
as he left he said, “I am going to
buy some woodland of Col. Price if
1 never pay for it.” I heard him
remark once to a lady “It is all stuff
about folks saying they wouldn’t
cheat a widow. They’d doit quick
er than if her husband was living.
1 would.” There is.no mistake
about his having a super-abundance
of fun and dry wit, for instance,
just think of his giving to his beau
tiful country home the title of
I “Poverty Hill.” There is no pleas
! anter spot, I dare say, or happier
home in Bartow than his home on
Clear creek, surrounded with beau
tiful oaks, lovely flowers aud vines.
My heart warms up as I recall
my rambles along that famous
clear water creek when a child.
As I think of it all it seems like a
half remembered dream. I look
out of the window and realize that
I ant hundreds of miles from “Sunny
Side,” the old homestead, “where
I first saw the light” and am here
in the fair land of Florida.
***
I see before me a large orange
grove and hear the merry songs of
the birds. But above them all
rises the song of the mocking bird
whose voice it seems to me is never
silent. Not far over that little hill
yonder is a brook, and if one will
follow its mean derings they will
find that it flows into the beautiful
Alafia river, about a half mile dis- j

taut. I think it Is the prettiest
river I have yet seen in Florida
Prettier ihnn the St. John, because
it is so clear. One can see to the
bottom where lie small shells that
glisten like pearls under the sun
light, Its banks are lined with the
finest ferns 1 ever saw, that seem
i k—„v ov,.p the water and feast on
ttieir loveliness minorcd in its
depths.
There are several fine springs
about here. Buckhorn spring is a
mixture of mineral waters, about
five miles distant. 1 visited it not
long since, took a boat ride up the
river and found it to be a quiet
sequestered spot, quite romantic,
and suggestive of picnics. A the
sunlight fliffi-i tiuougli the trees
overhead and danced on the water,
one could see every hueof the rain
bow as if painted there. There are
not many wild flowers to he seen
here now for the long drouth has
killed them, but I notice the violets
blooming in moist places.
***
Now it is real funny to think of
forgetting one’s name when asked
for it at the post office, but it is real
pathetic to think of living to be so
old as to forget it entirely. Such
is the case of an old lady who Jives
near here. When asked what her
name “might be” by a stranger she
will say: “Oh, call me ‘Aunt Sallie,’
I forgot my name long ago.” In
deed the times would be few’ when
1 would remember what name I
went by if it were as hard to pro
nounce and as euphonious as some
Iv’e heard since I came here, for
instance, Kicklighter, Lastinger,
Cunio, Dzialinski, Glogswski. Well
one hears them every day here,
but there is one i think would suit
“W. C. W.” right well and that is
“Lively.”
There is an old lady living in
Polk county who is quite a genius.
She can write poetry and set it to
music, inis written two hooks I’m
told. Hunts phosphate, plants
trees, clears land, works in orange
grove, can knit dresses, make neat
shoes, and plait hats of palmetto,
and make flowers out ot shucks.
Now, tiie fact is just this, she is an
honor to any state or country.

There is in my father-in-law’s
family, Capt. 8. E. Mays, a double
woven woolen coverlet, woven by
Elizabeth Harrison in 1770, sister
to Gen. Wade Hampton, of revolu
tionary memory, and grand
daughter of Gen. Wade Hampton,
of South Carolina, who is a cousin
of Capt. Mays’ mother, whose maid
en name was Miriam Earle. In the
same family there is also a stuffed
quilt which is quite ancient, made
by my mother-in-law’s grand
mother, Mary Moseley, nee Robert
son. It is a white coverlid drawn
in beautiful patterns and stuffed
with soft cord, in imitation of tiie
celebrated Marsailles coverlets.
From the dates we can gattier it is
fully a hundred years old. There
are also several tine linen sheets,
that are fully as old as the last
named coverlet. I was sitting in
the yard by mother, who was swing
ing in the hammock (telling me of
these interesting tilings, and I con
cluded to give them to the Courant-
American, who may have some
readers as fond of antique things
as I am.) By and by we came into
tea and I noticed a beautiful cut
glass decanter, which dispenses,
“Adams ale” to us daily, and as we
are strictly temperance folks never
holds the red w’ine now. I asked
as I took it up how old it was and
found it to be all of 70 years old,
and also had quite a history. It
was buried under a mill dam in the
Saluda river in South Carolina by
an old family servant to keep the
Yankees’ from getting it during the
war.
