J'iie editor of Tjik Ktrnr.n recently had occasion t<> spend a day in Lake City and was mneh struck -by the marked growth and improvement within the past six immliis. The example <et by >!io people in and around this piogic-ssive town is worthy ot" emulation ! ?y other -seel ion< favored with 1 Ik* same opportunities. The joosperily ol Lake City is largely due to diveisilied crops and larm.ingouthe intensive system. In the early spring the strawberry crop comes in, and 1 am told that that during the present season about bO(M) bushel era'es ot the luscious limit have been shipped, bringing all l!:?? way Irom $2 to fit) a crate. The largest growers I in town are Messrs. Singlet ary & Sons, S M Askins, C M Keller, Jlenrv (Godwin. Dr. Uinnant and ?lohii Kenuedav, besides many o'liers in the surrounding country, the whole area aggregating about r?00 acres. Following closely the j strawberry season eoT.es other truck produce, which is grown extensively. lu mid-summer, .just when tliej average larmei Imds money hard-i est to gel,the tobacco season opens I I up. Tire Star ware house, which | was so ?=uccesslu!lv managed last year by Messrs. Liall and Clements.1 uill besupp-lemented this summer .by a new and larger ware house' under the direction ot Messrs. \V. S. Moore and J. L. Stanley, both .( I whom are experienced and well known tobacco men. 1 iie new \vn:e-hose is bo x loO II., a solid substantial structure and is about completed.
