Miss Lunette Burbage is back again as stenographer at the office of Burroughs & Collins Co, ailt c Notes From Florida. Mr. Editor:?Will 3011 please allow me space in your valuable paper for just a few items from this old town. Tee heal h of the people through this community is very ?:ood. We are not at all surprised at the gentlemen being driven from hit boat by mosquitoes down in the Everglades sornt time ago, for we have some of the pest here in north FloriiJa. But not a single one to wba* there is in the glades, for the writer has experienced some of the Everglade mosquitoes and they are a great deal worse in Florida this season than he ever experienced before But the Florida Drainage Canal Co,, wiil soon have the mosquitoes as well as the Semenole Indians cut out of a home in the glades. Also the i Florida Coast Canal Company has I about completed the inland water ! route entirely around the E ist coast of Florida, which they have been fi>rhtin^r so faithful for for the last 20 years. Small vessels can now run out of all danger of the ocean waves from Jacksonville, El a., to Key West, El a. This canal extending from river to river is 80 feet broad and draws 6 feet of water. I guess those who reside near the coast in Horry are catching plenty of fish. Tue writer of this article wuh a party of too others and one cast not caught upwards of 1000 m illets in the surf one night las! week and left them more plentiful than when we began. /Y missive from tho water Mr. Editor will bo somewhat interesting to some of the readers of the Herald to road this. On the 9?h day of last September I was on North Beach near St. Augustine, while strolling the beach 1 found a smaM bottle which had run ashore This bottle was carefully corked up contained a letter written August the 11th, 11)08 and signed by two brothers by the name of Betlerman while on ooard the Malery Steamship Nuceis, asking the linder to mail a p)st card to seven ditTerent persons, but mostly of the same family at No. 881. 182ud Street, New York City, N. Y. stating where and when found and whom by, the writers states that all the assigned names were from San Antonia, Texas. This letter was more than 12 months linding a land mg phco. 1 mailed the caads as requested but haven't as jet received any reply. If a man could only swim like a bottle there would not be su many lives lost at sea. Merrv wishes to tho Herald and its readers, V. L Todd. St. Augustine, Fla. Will Promote Beauty.
