To Build one.
Boston, M iss. Nov. 28. — A spe

ti< n taken at the epi cial m»‘ tin;

1)0(1.
It was unanimously v ted to > t -
th >riz-• the directors to build i
ml; in the South which shall b
ioHsed to a seper-ito organ iz it ion.
The amount of the new stock of
the Mas-achusetts mills, subseOh.
ed for by the stockholders, has
not been large enough to enable
the company 7 to build a new mill
in the South with its own funds.
The directors, therefore, propose
to accomplish the same result in
another way. They recommend
that a company with a capital of
1600,000 be organized under the
’laws of Massachusetts for the pur
pose of building a mill of 40,000
spindlis in one of the Southern
states, the mill when built, is to b e
let to and operated by the Massa
chusetts cotton mills, the privi
lege of subscribing for the stock m
the new company to be offered to
the shareholders of the Massachu
setts Cotton Mills.
It is proposed th ie the new com
pany shall base all its properts
to tie Massachusetts Cotton Mills
for a term of one hundred years
mil that at any timeaiter ten yoa’ e
from the date of the lease, th>
Massachusetts Cotton Mills sh’ill
have the right to porches the whoii

•*(,•1) come to the aoiith sweet beautiful <*ie
1i«, the clime of the heart, the shrine of the
sun.”
The li<>.-id lines of the Poet
Meek’s best lyric of the llord
south, was brought afresh to my
- mind on seeing in a window oppo
site the Maiionic Temple that beau
tiful illustrative lake map of
Winter Haven re_d i , of Polk
.(’otinly, I’l-i.. about ?'-) ; above
[-•.I h-vei, called “llie (Test proof
zion of Polk" which lake spotted
I region—embodies the greatest va
riety of bl -nigs, in heall h, pleas
ure and profit, with the South
I Florida Rail Road rum.ing through
it—comprising about 40 lakes,
from a few hundred yards, to two
miles in diameter—nearly round,
describing tangents to each other,
affording by natural channels the
delivery of freights to the Rail
Roads as well as visiting and fish
ing.
Most of the borders of these
lakes are high, deep prominences
called “lake front” so much prized
for their beautiful views, boat
dock’s bathing, fishing, and all
kinds of water conveniences, and
more especially for the warm ra
diation from the lake preventing
frost hurting winter crops which
are worth from sto 10 times the
value of the summer crops.
Thet-e winter crops arj planted
from lust of S^pleni'*,r to January
_uid marketed from Januaiy til
June mostly in Ma ch ami April,
and as there is but little rain in
the winter and temperature so mi l ':
that it is really a;ree ible to make
a winter crip, whici enables o:m
to lay by during the summer
< r visit the u > county until Sep
tember .
I'he most prufitab'e crop ©f re
cent trial is the egg p'ant. A Mr
D. Joyce of Winter Heaven, n ad <
this year the enorrn mi sum of sst)o
m a little le.ss than au acre.
Dr's Shrader and lum*n has
produced some of the largest Pine
apples and exhibited at the World*-
Pair retliz ng $250 to the acre at
end of the second year.
The tomato crop is the pricipai
crop of this region amouu’iug Io
123,000 crates shipped from Win
tor Heaven and the immediate vi
cinity ranges from 100 to 150 dob
> L ars to the acre.
Fertilizing is necessary to these
immense crops and yields, as the
lands are very sandy and porous,
but the strange and peculiar re
habilitating atmospheric qualities
of this region requires but little
fertilizers—say from ten to fifteen
dollars to the acre to make the
above renumerating crops.
As to health, the dry and porous
sands, with the deep and clear
lakes is a guarantee to perfect
health; there being no miasmatic
influences to produce sickness. In
fact the malarial districts of Flor
ida is only the rich hammocks and
swamp banks of a few rivers and
they do not comprise the one hun
dredth part of the landed territory
exclusive of water.
As to temperature, the Winter
ranges in Polk county from 15 to
2 ) degrees higher than in Rome,
Ga.; in the Spring and Fall from
5 to 10 degrees higher and in Sum
mer about the same, with the ad
vantage of the delightful tn.di
winus ever prevailing. Travelers
tell us that Florida Peninsula has
the same iscchimsol line as Italy
and Palestine.
Strange to say this climate
abates every ill, especially of the
aged, except natural laziness which
no climate can cure or amend.
Hence the advice to all such as
may be unfortunately adicted had
better steer clear of Florida as it
really makes them worse.

,an acquisition to Rome society.
1 The happy groom is one of
Rome’s most successful business
men, being the senior member of
the well known drug firm of J.T.

good fellow” would be expressing
the universal verdict of friends
and acquaintances. May he and
his bride live long and prosper.
■ ROBBERS KILL A SHERIFF
Who was Guarding the Money of
an Express Company.
Fort Worth, I’-x.. November 28

hold up the Gulf, Colorado and

night, reached here yesterday,
Five packages of money were
c nsigned from George Isaacs,

$25,000, and arrived at Canadian
Fnd y nignt. Within forty five
minutes after the train came in a
l and of robbers attempted to bold
up the depot.
Sheriff McGee, of Hemphill
county, who was there alone at
tempted to stand the robber* off,
when he was shot and mortally
wounded,dying of his wounds Sat
urday night.
The robbers escaped unhurt. A
posse wi s made up Saturday morn
