1 V> f 2= READ THIS NOW Florida Fruit and Truck Farms The stale of Florida is now spending millions of dollars upon a vast system of canals, reclaiming and developing the Kvergladcs, the richest body of land in the world A claim ot 347,000 acres was settled with the state for 67,000 acres of SKI.hCT lands. This was selected immediately South of and bordering upon the southern shore of Fake Okeechobee, and is the choicest part ol the Everglades. To the eye it is perfectly level and re sembles a Western prairie. The soil is simply decomposed vegetable mat- ter black as midnight, fifteen feet deep, free from sand or grit, tree or stump, and by I'nitcd States chemical analysis said to be worth, for its ni trogen content alone, 00 a ton lor fertilizer. Absolutely below the frost line temperature never above 95 the hottest summer day, and always a re freshing breeze. Sugarcane needs to be planted but once in eight or ten years, and produces 30 to 60 tons per acre, yeilding from 6,000 to 12,000 pounds ol sugar, Irish potatoes 200 to 400 bushels per acre and two crops a year; Garden truck, net returns $200 to $800 per acre according to the kind. Grape fruit and Alligator pear orchards five )ears old, ycild $0oo to $1000 per acre, bananas and Fine apples about the same but bear earlier Oranges, I.emons, Limes, and guavas also yeild rich returns. A town destined soon to become a small city is to be located on th s land and will be on the Southern shore of I.akc Okeechobee, which is about 40 to 60 miles in width and leitgih. The Florida Everglades Land Co., arc now selling 64,240 acres of this selected land, to white people only, cheap and on easy terms, and in tracts of 10 to 640 acres, there being absolutely no difference except as to size of tract and location, the smaller tracts being nearer the canals, lake and town. A uniform price cf $240, ten dollars down and ten dollars a month for 23 months buys a tract and town lot, Reptesenting the company in this proposition I have the pleasure to offer the people of this oounty what I sincerely believe to be THE OPPOR TUNITY OKA LIFE TIME. • There is no lottery, nor fake scheme to deceive or defraud, and the company does not want and will not have one dollar of your money until arter thorough investigation you are satisfied tint (he picture is not over drawn, and that it is as good if not bet'or than represented—nor would I under any other conditions represent them. MY PLAN OK SALE is to 'sell first, 20 contracts, depositing the first payment ot $10 each in a Millcdgeville bank. Then lorm a club myscll being one of the number. We will then select one ol our number to go as our representative, and Entirely at The Expense ol The Land Company, to Fort Myers in Southwest Florida, thence by gasoline launch up the beautiful Caloosahatchee river to the propcity and return. Returning it his report is unfavorable the bank here will refund to each one his ten dollars, and nobody will he tho looser except myself and the land company. “ Manyclub representatives have been sent and all certify to the delightful climate, its healthlulness, the purity of the water anti otherwise give most glowmgaccounts. Below arc a lew extracts from only a few of those reports. Hon. H. 1). Hughes, Illinois Farmers Institute, and Committeeman on Soil In vestigation and Experiments ot that state—“Sugar cane, celery, cabbage, egg plant, onions, pine apple, melons, cucumbers, should grow to perfection and where, twelve mouths in the year is at the truckers disposal, 1 do not know any reason why he cannot do better there than almost anywhere in the world. The man who is willing to work can go there with safety and ex pect tc get rich.” Augustus Blake, 633 Corunna Ave , Owasso, Mich, (of the Owasso Club)—“1 wish to say for the benefit ol those who are fortunate enough to have presented to them a privilege of buying some of this land, that I not only found the (acts contained in this literature true, but also heard (acts regarding the proposition which places it in my estimation far in advance ol any similar offer which has been made to the American people in many years. First ol all the climate is ideal, the water absolutely pure, and 1 have tailed to find anywhere the fact or possibility which would prevent this land from producing all and more than is claimed for it, and consequently ad vancing to a pi ice which is beyond the possibility ot estimating. The soil itself is a marvel and would be worth buying and shipping North as a fort ill *cr. This is the place for a poor man —an opportunity lies before you now and you belter grab one of these farms while you have a chance, the tinu will come when it w ill filing you a fortune, W. A. Wiseman, Uestnoines Iowa,—“The water of the lake is good drinking water and lull ot fish. 1 fielieve that now is the time tor a man to buy these landi.betorc they are allotted and all the improvements completed, (meaning the canalsdand I further believe from information received tri m men who km w what they are talking about that this portion ol the Everglades will be ready for o. c qi’m y as a w h 1 in less than Uo years For these reasons . have now purchased five ul these cnntr icts and my only regret is that 1 cannot take several more, as 1 believe they will be very high priced as soon as they are allotted. C. I. West, Garber Okla — “I found the lands all that was claimed fot it the richest soil in the wot Id and fifteen to twenty teet deep, ideal climate and tree from Malatia and Mosquitoes. l’rof. Albert J. Leads. Fh. !> Stephens Institu'e of Technology, New jersey, “1 found the nature of the water and the muck lands for dozens ol miles immediately around the lake is exposed to the sun and air. Malaria. Ague. Chills and Fever, etc , do not exist when such sweet waters contain ing antiseptic in the nature ot peat-extractive, and when the surrounding lands are pure vegetable mould. The conditions would attract as to a saw tarium, visitois from elsewhere to enjoy the climate etc , of this vast she! tered sea lying half way between the East and West coast ot Southern Flor ida.” O. P. Sutz, Cashier First National Bank, Lenoir. N C. “The com pany is offering a genuine, good proposition and one that in a tew years will be worth ten times what they ask lor it. I believe further, it will be a mat ter of a sho-t time only when the work will be completed (mean ing the drainage! sufficient for settlement, say a year. A \\ 0tern company has a movement on Lot to establish a large sugar refinery near this property. 1 met Mr. Goodno who lives near the property, and who set torty acres in oranges seven years ago ami last spring sold the grove for <42.000 00, Mj own opinion is that it will soon be the garden spot of the United States, and as evidence ot my faith 1 hare purchased more ot the land since my return.' The above aie but short extracts from the glowing reports of those club repierentalives an-1 many others ot a like nature and could 'be quoted There is no reason why you. reader should not share in the good fortune that is now knocking at your door and if you do not it will be your own lault and one that 1 fiunly and sincerely believe you will within tiventy-fout months tegret. More than half of the 4S60 tracts and town lots are already sold, am' the balance will not be long in going. A personal letter received last week from the Governor ol FI irida said the State had no more land in the diainage region tor sale or homestead, am! this being the only of that land now offered tor - ale it appears to fie the las! and only chance to get it at anything in reason. Now is the appointed time." V -u.* iruly. Business' Locals. When we offer you goods at a lower price than others do, don’t think they are inferior quality.
