A^? vul wt I A ROJtlf gcr Agent of the Seaboard Railway, who not only is well versed in the art of telling about the^ Sea. of the development of the states served by this Line. This anniversary marks the departure of the -French Colonistp under Ribault tfbr " Florida in I5B2T Three successive Spanish expeditions had started for . Florida but by 1562 there were no settlements of Europeans there. The failure of the last Spanish party had the effect of dampening Spanv ish enthusiasm and the" berSeCu. I tion of the Hugenots of France, ! had the opposite effect of encouraging French emigration. John Ribault was selected as the leader of ffctn French 'expedition to Florida. He landed at Port Royal and took posession of that region, giving the name of Carolina to the states now making up North and ! South Carolina. Two years later Ribault again ; sailed for the New World and this time anchored" at the mouth of the ^ St. John's -River, establishing " a ecjflony. Visitors to Jaaksonlvil^e on the West Coast Orange Blossom Special should by all means investigate?this river. It flows north almost parallel to the sea from it? ^ ' source far down in tho sawgress country south and a few miles i west of. Melbourne. During its 1 course, it flows through many lakes and is bordered at times withpalm*, moss-fringed oak^'pfhies J and other semi-tropical vegetation. Water hyacinths cover its surface in many places and are a sourcq of extraordinary beauty e$i peeiatiy^so?whe-n maze of lav-1 ' endar blossoms are. formed. Bofore the building of the Seaboard j in Florida, the St. John's was one of the principal transportation ^ media for reaching: the interior of the Sunshine State. When Ribault created his colony ' the news upset;.'the Spanish people and almost at once Don Pedro , Menendez sailed to Florida with ; the commission of Governor. He i landed in 1656 a few miles from ? Jacksonville with the aim of con I quering Ribault's settlement. Next i we see the Spaniards, 500 strong, marching across country for five | days and defeating the French in' ( a bloody battle. v_ | The Hugenots were roused and Hound an able leader in France in the penson of De Gourgues who under the guise of a slave trader set sail for Florida in 1657. With the aid of the natives living in the j 1 Jacksonville?area, -the-Frenchmen j overpowered their foe and regained the fort. Menendez. however, escaped and for the next twelve years continued his rule as Governor of the Flcridas. Mr. Calvin Prflmus Laid To Rest Hnrdceville, S. C., January 26? Mrs. Zylphia E.
