Dear Editor:—Although 1 haven’t seen a copy of your sheet since leaving dear Bainbridge I will presume that you are still moving along nicely with the work. I have been in Florida so long now that have entirely changed my creed from a thoroughbred Georgia “cracker” to a genuine Florida “cracker.” [ haye taken the oath of allegiance to my new land of fl .were, and as was already climatised, guess I will remain a Floridian indefinite ly. We farmers down here are shipping cuonmbers, tomatoes, watermelons and b ackberries to the yankees “up North,” aud looking to them tor our bread and meat, Mr. Armour furnishes us in sar- diues, potted ham and canned beef when we are able to pay him for it. Fish are in abundance down here but hard to oateh. They have been tried so much till they know the game as well as the fisherman. Sea turtle are oaught at Cedar Key in great numbers. They are white gophers and much larger than the colored gophers. virtue which caused the John Oak' hursts and the “outcasts of Poker Flat” to depart from thence and die of cold and starvation on the snow bound road to Sandy Bar. There are no "Oak- hursts” nor “Uncle Btllys” In Pokur Flat today, and when the stranger makes the slow descent and suddenly by a sharp turn In the trail comes upon the famous camp be finds In that hud dle of cabins little to remind him of the Poker Flat of 1852. The famous slope 'presents almost a picture of utter ruin. There are but eight persons living to tbe old town, while a hundred dead ones sleep In the cemetery. 8ojne of the graves are marked with wooden headboards, some with stakes, but many bore nothing above them. Nearly all of them were laid to rest without religious rites save a Bible reading by old Charlie Pond, who, though a professional gambler, was selected for the religious office owing to his excellent voice end ora torical ability. In 1853 and 1854 there were 2.000 souls in Poker Flat and 15 stores 5 ho tels, 3 dance halls and 7 gambling bouses. There Is but one man left to day of that original company. lie Is an old and grlssled veteran, who delights to tell how In 1850 a circus came to town and sold 1,500 tickets of admls- slon at 520 each.—W.

Anders, who de parted this life June 17th, 1901, aged about 64 yeais. He had suffered sometime with Bright’s disease but was confined to bis bed only a short time before his death. He leaves a devoted wife and two sons, Lee Anders, of Texas, aud Jim mie Anders, of Faoevtlle, to mourn his death. He was surrounded by a host of kind friends aud relatives, each anxious to giye him relief when God mercifully sent an angel to break the slender thread of life and took him home to rejoice forever Byron more, free from sorrow and pains. He leaves au only sister, Mrs. John Maxwell, of Calvary, and a host of other relatives and friends mo irn theur Iobs. Weep not, dear wife, children, relatives aud friends, he cannot come back to us but we can’go to hun by being faithful fol lowers of Christ.
