              \U snibt t<ave Street, lights!
Why W Winter Par^ ir all of
her beauti ltd glory, with her s-ix
hundred or more ot the liveliest peo
pie in 8»>nth Fla come up with the
times? Why should we stand behind other towns that have uot half
the worth, hall the education yu'l
worthy citizens thai we have. Now
let our towns people come to the
trout and have otreet lights. Onr
town respected, the valuation of
our property will he enhanced, and
the evening stroller will not been-
dnn.r Wd l>\ delipid-it'Hl sidewaIks
and \dd b-naps through the streets.
Many may ay it is too soon,
people are too poor and we c>'n get
aloiu' without stieet lights. btii
it the no»t-pr<vgreb.sive is to gov
the progressive, w< might as well
pay that there will :d-, vs be some
staleobjections in making such im-
povementsasare of a real necessity.
Now we know if our people \\ am
to, thev can light up the streets ot
'Winter Park ;s well as other towns
with a great deal more inhabitants
than we have here.
The strawberry growers, Ward
& Chubb , are doubtless the first
strawberry growers in the state to
get off to the northern markets
several crates of berries this-season.
We are informed by Mr. Ward
that in the early part of' kst week
he shiped strawberries to northern
markets and is expecting a returrn
of $2 per quart. These men began raising strawberries with but
Irttie experience, but with their un
tiring efforts and perseverance they
have reached tire m, : t ae< lirfty
-yhich is teWom reached by unexperienced men. They have shown
that from twro to three hundred
-dollars can be turned out of one
acre each year out off the "Florida
Sand." They have a couple of acres
this sea.von, and from the present
-outlook they will be able to nap
many thousand quarts,
The arrival ot Mr, F B Knowlee
Oil last Saturday was souu what
■earlier thin usual. This is nothing
more than what we believe will be
a general custom in early years.
Florida is always in her glory, she
is not freezing but stands with open sunshine, with winters as pleasant as the northern summers. It
will not be long before the northern
people will all find this out, and as
the summers is over in the north
those that are able, will seek the
Sunny South.

semi-circular form and are named respectively, Magnolia, Oakwood, Evergreen and
Forest Circles. The circle which the avenues form where they come together is
named Floral Circle. This is capable of being made one of the handsomest cemeteries
in the South. It lies about two miles southeast of town and is a pretty lake front.
