L* railways, there is. a pic­ turesque little city, the highest point known as "Florida Heights," and the claim that this section is the healthiest resort of the world is proven by the longevity of its inhabitants, so-named "Crackers,” and testimonials of its res­ idents, who have been res-erected al­ most from the grave, having come here as a last resort,- like a drowning man catches at a straw, but who are now en­ joying the prosperity and happiness, awaiting all who seek relief from the rigors from a wintry climate and the terrors of the sunstroke summers of a latitude farther north. What a future this section of our free America will he, the cooling and re­ freshing summer . resort of those who are spending sleepless nights among the northern nooks and corners. Just ivhy this spot is called Orlander is not known, hut it was named in remembrance of the love romance written hy Shake­ speare, and who knows but what the name revealed the character <rf those early settlers who lived next to Nature and wear to God, enjogsu* the free —‘ estates. Here also are the cozy little homes on a more modest style of the "sons of toil” enjoying’the natural foli­ age,'the lakes, and the health-sustaining air. The constant building of these homes lias assumed a phenomenal rate, until building lots and lands command cxhqrbitant' prices. _There are, however, lands and subdivisions, owned by large laud 'holders who secured them long ago, .being offered at very nominal fig­ ures. in no other way can one secure a place without the great increase being paid. Those who purchase building lot* or lands can bank on a handsome in­ crease, finis enabling those of moderate means to enjoy the “Garden Spot of America" which is the universal opin­ ion of those who?have tried the famous Italy, saying her sunsets are not more gorgeous, nor hef climate so even and balmy. Those leaving sunny California, and famous Washington climate to se­ cure homes in Orlando speak testimon­ ials that Florida is without a rival. With cement sidewalks, bordered' by the beautiful live ■oak, from whose branches swing the silvery moss like a bridal veil, and vitrified paved streets, Orlando presents a .scenic beauty not made by a landscape gardener, but a city with Nature’s ideal adornments. Tire caudles have given way to electric and gas lights. Gas for heating pur- poses, ice plant, and waterworks with) the purest water in the world, by gov- ‘ erftment test. Summsded large new addition to accommodate its increasing patronage, livery denominational belief is repre­ sented in ' Orlando; the musical choirs receiving fame for the high-grade mu­ sic rendered. One pastor was Risked by a Philadelphian last winter, where he. imported his musicians from; he an­ swered, "They are nothing tri&re than developed ‘crackers’ of my church.” With such advantages for Orlando's posterity, with no.saloons to mar the peace and hospitality .extended, to all who come within her bounds, their fut­ ure must necessarily be above, those reared without such environments. The fratenrries of all creeds have a branch, the most popular being the Elks with a handsome $10,000 lodge room. The ladies have the honor of having a beautiful club house, the JRoslin, where gaiety and charming womanhood ivie with each other, and here the fashion­ able guests of the .northern cities re­ ceive southern hospitality in ait of its loveliness, and lasting friendships are formed, being a factor in uniting the northern and southern types of beauty into one sisterhood, the two being under one Hag instead of "under two Hags,’* . The Sorosis is a ladies' dub with lit­ erary attainments as* its chief object, having maintaired a public library where the choicest rending matter may In- found, and it is baaed tt *“ nucleus wound. -AW-t memf. l i e Fairbanks* "Tk*: Girl of Wednesday, c.’nvptionaijy *c or:.•Truly one ccsscs and has commended all The character to express the the hljs'-ful '- one of the woman can exjjj jealousy, the w» heart that feel* wronged, the coal] tion, and the nob" 1 lie Fairitank* will offer on Fr McIntyre and He story of the- play the scenes repr Finish I.ick plaza at Port au reception room in Prince.

Fast month correspondents generally t ^pressed grave fears that owing to late seeding and unfavorable weather con­ ditions the plant would be unable to ■■Main sufficient growth and strength to withstand severe weather, hut this has keen allayed by the remarkable growth I’ming Hie month of November. While tiie condition of wheat at this time is most promising, in anticipating the re- ‘mlt of the future harvest due conside­ ration must be given to the exceedingly *-roall area seeded. The damage lo the plant by Hessian fly and grub worm is so slight that no estimates of sanje are published, The amount of the crop sold as soon as threshed ist estimated at 43 per cent. Compared with the condition of wheat as reported on the correspond­ ing date one year ago, its present con­ dition shows an improvement of 33 per ■cent, - ■. ■* . The .early predictions of a bountiful corn, harvest are now fully verified. The •; estimated corn area as returned by the township assessors was 3,050,825 acres and fronj this has been produced 121,- 127,532 bushels, au average production per acre of 33 bushels. Compared with the estimated harvest of 1308 this is an increase of 17,437J8f>bushels, the heavi­ est production since 1906. Correspon­ dents report the quality of the grain as most satisfactory. It is estimated that 4 per cent of the crop was put into silo. The average date of cribbing was Oc­ tober 18th. The yield of apples as compared with an average is estimated at 43. per cent Tobaco production per acre is esti­ mated at '839 pounds.
