The Live Oak, Perry & Gulf Railroad, popularly known as the "Suwannee River Route," traverses one of the richest, most productive and healthiest sections of Florida, starting at Live Oak and continuing westerly through Dowling Park, Perry and Hampton Springs, to a point near the Gulf of Mexico, with a branch to Alton. Live Oak is one of the best little business cities in Florida, with a population of about 5,000, is 70 miles west of Jacksonville and about 25 miles south of the Georgia State line, is a junction point for the Seaboard Air Line, the Atlantic Coast Line, the Live Oak, Perry & Gulf and the Florida Railway and is the County Seat for Suwannee County. Th*> spption of Florida served by the Live Oak, Perry & Gulf Railroad is the heaviest timbered section of the Stat**, and lumbering and allied industries are being developed in a big way in the several rapidly growing towns along its line. This means unusually good openings for all classes. These heavily timbered lands are also, naturally, the richest agricultural lands and it is these lands that the Railroad desires to settle with good hard-working progressive people as fast as the lands are released by the operations of the big lumber milling companies. Suwannee county, lying as it does between the Atlantic Ocean and the Gulf of Mexico, with the never failing cool summer breezes from east to west, has a climate as cool in summer as in the North and yet ideally perfect in winter, and with ample fall for drainage and an abundance of pure drinking water, Suwannee county is an especially healthy spot. A rainfall of over 40 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 tonnage and earnings of our railroad, we have ucceeded in inducing the several big lumber companies on our line, who are owners of large tracts of agricultural and 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 settlers. We absolutely exclude speculators who wish to buy more than 320 acres, while to the actual settlers we offer land practically regardless of prices or terms. In fact, on ridiculously easy conditions to reliable people, we will furnish from 40 to 160 acres absolutely free of one dollar's cost, on a plan much easier than land ever could have been obtained even under the Government homestead law. And, it will be remembered that millions of acres that were first acquired from the Government without cost are now worth from $50.00 to $200.00 per acre. The owners of these Suwannee county lands have consented to our opening them for immediate settlement on our heretofore unheard of liberal terms and conditions, onb because they knowsuch settlement will greatly enhance the value of the value of the quarter of a milfion acres they have yet to put on the market. Just imagine?these lands are located right along our line of Railroad; some adjoining townsites, some not far from our local metropolis, * * ^ ' * ? il Live uaK, ann none 01 mem mure than four miles from railway service; close to good schools, churches, markets, neighbors and only about three hours' ride to the great city of Jacksonville, with its seaport markets to the world. These are the best lands in the State of Florida for the roising of corn, cane, long staple cotton, upland rice, all kinds of hay and fodder, cowpeas, velvet beans, cassava, peanuts, potatoes (both sweet and Irish) vegetables of all kinds, fruits, nuts, cattle, hogs, mules ancl horses; while the conditions for poultry raising, bee keeping and dairying are ideal. We hope within another two years to see Suwannee county well settled anH h!1 under cultivation?a verit able garden spot?and lands selling at $100.00 per acre and upwards. But, for the present, our Railroad needs more settlers and more tonnage; therefore, prices and terms on these lands are no object. In short, if you can convince us that you are capable of farming from 40 to 320 acres and that you could, if necessary, come to Florida with a cash working capital of $500.00 or over, nrpferablv $1,000.00 or more, you can on the easiest conditions imaginable secure through us, without one dollar's cost, a farm of from 40 to 150 acres under warranty deed to farm, hold, sell or do with as you in wish. ar if interested, we would lie glad to tell y.?u all about this country, our plans, the opportunities here for ^ money making, and especially the cr conditions by which you may have.fr one of these farms free of cost.
