LIVE OAK, PERRY ARB GULF MUim Offers Farms of 40 to 160 Acres Along Its Line Free of Cost on Unusually Liberal and Easy Conditions. General Offices at Live Oak, Fla. The Live Oak, Perry & Gulf Railroad, popularly known as the Suwannee River Route," traverses one of the richest, most productive and healthiest sections of Flor ida, starting at Live Oak and continuing westerly through Dowling Park, Perry and Hampton Springs, to a point near the Gulf of Mexico, with a bradch to Alton. Live Oak is one of the best little business cities in Florida, with a population of about 5,000, is about 70 miles west of Jack sonville and about 25 miles south of the Georgia State line, is a junction point for thtt Seaboard Air Lirip t.h? At.ln.ntin flnajit Line, the Live Oak, Ferry & Gulf and the Florida* Railway and is the County Seat for Suwaunee County. The section of Florida Served by the Live Oak, Ferry & Gulf Railroad is the heaviest timbered section of the State, and lumbering and allied industries are being developed iu a big way in the sev eral rapidly growing towns along its line. This means unusually good openings for all classes. These heavily timbered lands are also, naturally, the richest agricul tural lands and it is these lands that the Railroad desires to settle with good hard working progressive people a~ fast as the lands are released by the operations of the big lumber milling companies. Suwannee County, lying as it does be tween the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, with the never failing cool sum mer breezes from east to west, has a cli mate as cool in summer as in the North and yet ideaily perfect in winter, and, witii ample fall for drainage and an abundance of pure drinking water, Suwannee County is an especially healthy spot. A rainfall of over 50 inches per annum makes crops as certain as possible. For the purpose of encouraging settlers to immediately occupy and cultivate all the unoccupied lands in Suwannee County and thereby materially increasing the ton nage and earnings of our railroad, we have succeeded In inducing: the several big lumber companies on our lino, who are owners of large tracts of agricultural ana timber land, to let us have 25,000 acres of the best agricultural lands in Suwannee County, to be put on the market to actual 9ettlers. We absolutely exclude specula tors who wish to buy more than 320 acres, while to the actual settlers we offer land f radically regardless of prices or terms. n fact, on ridiculously easy conditions to reliable people, we will furnish from 40 to 160 acres absolutely free of one dollar'6 cost, on a plan much easier than land ever i-oiild have been obtained eveu under the 1 Sovernment homestead law. And, it will ! be remembered that millions of acres that were lirst acquired from the Government 1 without cost are now worth from $50.00 to &200.00 per acre. The owners of these Su wannee County lands have consented to jur opening them for Immediate settle- | uent on our heretofore unheard of liberai j ierms and conditions, only because they < inow such settlement will greatly enhance ;he value of the quarter of a million acres ! ;hey have yet to put on the market. Just imagine?these lands are located ight along our line of Railroad; some ad orning townsites, some not far from our ocal metropolis, Live Oak, and none of ,hem more than four miles from railway service; close to good schools, churches, narkets, neighbors and only about three lours' ride to the great city of Jackson ville, with its seaport markets to the ;vorld. These are the best lands in the state of Florida for the raising of corn, ;ane, long staple cotton, upland rice, all cinds of hay and fodder, cowpeas, velvet >eans, cavassa, peanuts, potatoes (both sweet and Irish), vegetables of all kinds, 'ruits, nuts, cattle, hogs, mules and hox-ses; vhile the conditions for poultry raising, >ee keeping and dairying are ideal. We lope within another two years to see Su vannee County well settled and all under ultivation?a veritable crarden spot?and ands selling at $100.00 per acre and up vards. But, for the present, our Railroad leeds more settlers and more tonnage; ,herefore, prices and terms on these land6 ire no object. In short, if you can con vince us that you are capable of farming rom 40 to 320 acres and that you could, if lecessary, come to Florida with a cash working capital of $500.00 or over, prefera >ly $1000.00 or more, you canon the easiest conditions imaginable secure through us, without one dollar's cost a farm of from l6 to 160 acres under* warranty deed to arm, hold, sell or do with as you wish. If interested, we would be glad to tell rou all about this country, our plans, the )pportunities here for money making, and sspecially the conditions by which you nay have one of these farms free of cost, ro learn all about it, write on a jjostal card >r in a letter, simply "Mail me particu ars," and address John H. Mulholland, L?and Commissioner, Room No. 500, Gen ?rul Offices, Live Oak, Perry <fe Gulf R. R., jive Oak, Fla. ' SPECIAL NOTICE. The curtains will rise at 3:30 promptly for Madame Sherry tomorrow night. Madame Sherry. Tho largest panorama ever used on a stage will be seen in "Madame Sherry" when that sensational n isical hit comes to this city, in the near future. This can vas is used in the 2nd act and serves as a t>abkgroun<l showing the famous sky-line of New York as seen from tho harbor. Ihe scene is the deck of a yatch anchored In the Hudson and just before the curtain rlescends, the craft is seen to steam away. The effect of motion is obtained by the moving panorama, which, as it unfolds, brings all the famous landmarks of lower Manhattan to view. The audience can pasily discern the Sihger Tower, the Hud son Terminal Building, the Suspension Bridge, the Battery, and finally, tho Statute of Liberty. An idea of the musical importance of ' Madame Sherry" may be obtained fi.om the fuct that it requires four prima donnas to do justice to its musical score. 'J'he principal vocal part is that of Yvonne Sherry, a little convent Kit 1 who suddenly finds, herself in the midst of life's trail i<*s and loses her heart to the first likely young man she meets. Then there is the part of. Iiatherine, the housekeeper, to whose role belong the coniie numbers (if the piece. Next in importance is the role of Lulu, the aosthetic dancer, who first introduces the audience to those haunting strains, "Every Little Movement has a Meaning all Its Own," nnd then there is the part of Pepita, the fiery Spanish girl who carries her mother's dagger iu her gaiter. The haunting strains of "Every Little Movement," which forms the musical theme of "Madame Sherry" will soon be revealed in all their deep and hidden sig nificance to the playgoers of this city, for "Madame Sherry" is announced as an early visitor at the Opera House, Thurs day, Feb. 8th. Though there are twenty two musical numbers in "Mndame Sherry" all charming and alluring, the motif song has become epidemic and for many months it has been played, hummed, whistled and sung wherever music is known, We have just received a fresli l*t of Garden and Field Seed for 1912 planting trom T.
