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 or a part of the property of th> new com pun v.

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 .

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.
