Ry, I8 in the city for several days on buisness connected with his road. Mr. Bell informs us that the surveyiug corps is now at the cross- ing of the Caloosahatche river and expects to reach Ft. Lauderdale in a few days. Every indication points to the early beginning of grading on this road and Mr. eBll says that the work .| of completing the road will be pushed vigorously and completed as soon as possible, This 18 a road that is much needed and no doubt will be a paying prop- osition for the promoters from the beginning of running trains. The road will not only pass through some of the finest lands in South Florida, which will enhance them materially in value, but it will link the East and West Coast by a short and prac- tical route. \WWhen this road is completed you will see many thousand of tourists passing through from east to west and west to east, people coming down on the East Coast route will return by the West Coast and vice versa. The survey of this road entering our city has been changed from the original plans, and comes in on the north side of the city. The depot terminals will probably be out at the end of East Oak street, which will be a better location for the town and road than on the south side, The A. O. & G. is the road that Ar- cadia needs and we hope that every one will pull for it and that it will not be long before we realize our fond hopes.—Arcadia News. sions have all been ded, and all have en- 1y, which started off with dy in charge of Dr. J. v and at the 11-o'clock ™ Adams delivered her phys- « lecture, taking as her| Pathway of Life.” rnoon the concert by Rog- 1 Band was followed by >~ and ~olos by Miss McDon- 1iss Bunnell, and at three audience had the ing Dr. Stanley Krebs ure on “Two Snakes in ¢ lecture “makes life more whor more lovable.
