10. W. BEEN
INTERESTED IN
SLJUi’S DEVELOPM’T. GO.
The Company Expects to Secure
Settlers from the West For
Extensive Florida Tract—Will
Develop Ware County Lands,
Mr. G. W. Deen left Saturday
night for Chicago, where he goes
to meet with his associates and
stock holders in the St. Johns
Development Company. The
•company is composed of the fol
lowing hustling, young business
men: Mr. Chas. H. Sieg, and H,
X. Stewart, of Chicago, Mr. E. F.
Warner and Mr. John Phillips,
of Milwaukee, Wis. These par
ties will all meet Mr. Deen in
Chicago, and together they ex
pect to make advertising con
tracts with some of the largest
advertising agencies in the
United States, to advertise and
assist them in pushing the sale of
\their St. Johns county truck and
farm l-nfls.
The tract originally owned by
Mr. Deen and conveyed by him
to the St. Johns Development
•Company, consists of about 30,,
*000 acres. It is proposed to di
vide this 30,000 acre tract into
10 and 20 acre tracts for truck
farming. Also a town site named
St. Johns Park, has been laid off,
•considerable lots sold and the
work of development is being
carried on with a larger force of
workmen. It is proposed to open
and grade a fifty foot road from
St. Johns Park to Rome point on
■the Florida East Coast Railroad,
at or near Espanola. There is
■now a large force working on
this road. A traction and engine
and road machine have been
shipped down there to do the
grading.
Several families from the West
"have already moved there and
Mr. Deen and his associates ex
pect to bring down purchasers
-numbering probably one hun
dred, leaving Chicago on the 7th.
Some of these farmers from the
West have already been down
and purchased their tracts and
are now lining up and closing out
their business, selling their hold
ings in the West, preparatory to
moving down and becoming per
manent citizens on this valuable
tract of farm land on Crefccnt
Lake, St. Johns county, Fliqfida.
Prices of lands in the West
Tange from $50 to $150 per acre,
with a cold climate, where they
cannot work more than six or
eight months in the year. They
naturally aro well pleased when
they get down in this genial cli
mate, and find tomatoes growing
and bearing at Christmas time,
and find lands that will produce
either crop bringing in as much
or more, than a single crop pro-
, duces in the West, it is but na
tural that they should be well
pleased,
The company had representa
tives to look over these lands a
few days ago and they unhesi-
. tatingly say that it is the best
land for colonization purposes
and the best located, of any they
have ever advertised or under-
from Florida for the purpose of (RECEIVERS FOR
looking over the situation herej
and in all probability tho work
of improvement and develop
ment will commence here in a
short time.
The company will have offices
in Chicago, St. Johns Park, Fla.,
Waycross, Ga. and Milwaukee,
Wis. They believe to acquaint
the people of the crowded cities
and the West with the value of
lands here and the mild, ■genial
climate, conditions, generally,
means to bring hundreds of them
here as settlers and citizens.
The success and progress of
this colonization plan in St,
Johns county, is being watched
with much interest.
THE A. B. & A.
President H. M. Atkinson, of
the A. B. & A., and Mr. ^ P. S.
Arkwright, vice president of the
same road, have been appointed
receivers for the A, B. & A., ef
fective immediately.
The appointment was made by
Judge Pardee.
Tallahassee, Fla., Jan. 5.—The
inauguration of Governor Albert
W. Gilchrist as chief executive of
the state of Florida today was
attended by the pageantry and
pomp which are usually made a
part of the ceremonies on the oc
casion of the administration of
the formal oath of office to the
first magistrate of the common
wealth.
Tallahnssge had made elaborate
preparations to receive the new
governor and visitors from all
over the state who came to attend
the inaugural exercises. The
oath of office was administered
at high noon in the presence of a
vast concourse of people. The
ceremonies took place at the east
entranco to the capitol on a plat
form erected especially for that
purpose. There were long civic
and military parades that passed
in review before the governor-
elect and the present governor,
Broward.
A reception will be held in the
governor’s office this evening
from 8:30 to 10:30, and a grand
inaugural ball will be given in the
hall of the senate and house of
representatives.
Atlanta, Jan. 4.—Prohibition
ists find considerable satisfaction
in the great falling off in the
number of police court cases tried
in Atlanta during the past year.
There were 3,903 fewer
drunk nnd disorderly” cases
tried in 1908 than in 1907. The
number tried during the past
year was 2,577 against 6,480 for
the previous year, a reduction of
more than fifty per cent.
The total number of adults
tried during tho last year was
12,758, while 20,695 were tried in
1907. These figures represent all
offenses brought to the attention
of the recorder.
There was a decrease in the
number of juvenile cases, the
samo being 196 in number.
Advocates of prohibition claim
the record-breaking showing to
be due to the abolition of the sa
loon.
It is worthy of note, however,
that on several days recently all
records for number of arrests
made on a single day have been
broken.•
It is claimed by opponents of
Atlanta. Jan. 2.—An appeal
for one hundred n’possums has
been made by the Atlanta Cham
her of Commerce. They
wanted for use at the banquet to
be given William II. Taft, presi
dent-cleat, here on the evening of
January 15. Someone heard that
Mr. Taft expressed a desire to
taste of the toothsome flesh' of
good, genuine Georgia ’possum
and the committee which is ar
ranging for his entertainment
here promptly got busy.
There is talk of hunting par
ties being organized for the pur
pose of scouring the woods
around Atlanta for their marsu
pial inhabitants.
The o’possum and Mr. Taft
will have the singular distinction
of being the only free guests at
the great banquet. All others
will be required to pay $10 be
fore they can be invited.
Atlanta, Jan. 5.—The prison
commission will decide during
the present week whether or not
to purchase n new state farm for
the exclusive use of, the state
convicts. The matter will be
taken up at the meeting which
begins this afternoon. Mr. Wi
ley Williams, the new commis
sioner, will suggest that the one
hundred acres of ground the
state owns near Griffin be used
as a nucleus for establishing a
separate reformatory for white
boys and girls. The land was
formerly used for state tropp cn
campmeftts and is now used for
nothing.

SPENT OVER 70
TEARS ON ISLAND.
THE WINTER’S FIREWOOD.
Most fanners find it conveni
ent to cut their supply of fire
wood during the winter months.
The removal of this firo-wood
may mean so much drain or so
much improvement on the farm
er’s woods, depending on how
the work is done. Generally our
farmers are not careful enough
about the trees Hint they take
for fire-wood, taking pretty muefi
everything that comes to hand.
In this way trees that would de
velop into valuable saw timber
are often sacrificed when inferior
trees would answer tho purpose
just as woll. As far as practi
cable the fire-wood should come
from the dead, crooked, diseased,
aud suppressed trees, nnd the
thrifty, straight, sound trees
should be saved for saw timber.
When lumber is at tho present
prices, it is little short of sin to
cut up for cord-wood trees that
bring now, or will in a few years,
bring two or three times os much
for lumber ns for cord-wood.
However, there aro often many
different kinds of trees in the
farmer’s woods. Some are more
valuable than others. For
stance, hickory, white oak, ycl
low poplar, chestnut, loeust, and
ash are worth more for lumber
than block jack, red oak, red nut-
pie, sweet gum, black gum, nnd
the like. Therefore, theso less
vnluablo trees should bo used as
far as practicable for fuel and
the others should bo saved for
posts, poles, and lumber.
This selection not only saves
the better trees of tho tho better
kinds for tho higher uses, but it
makes moro room for the better
trees to grow. Thoy grow faster
and develop bettor stems when
they do not havo to compete with
a lot of inferior trees.
Every stick of fire-wood
moved from tho woods this win
ter ought to mean so much im
provement to tho woods.
