Ital- ians of the better class will consti- tute the settlers, and agents of the company in the North already have fifty families ready to occupy these homes as soon as they are completed.

A city office will be maintained in Lakeland, which will be located in the Deen & Bryant building. There is no question but that thls' enterprise will be of great value to Lakeland, as well as to the immedi ate locality of its operations. these farms will, we have no doubt, soon give our own farmers pointers in intensive cultivation and econom- ical management. They are essen- tially, home builders, and make a splendid citizenship, and under their industrious operations the waste i places will blossom. The promoters are putting large sums of money into the enterprise, yand are operatinz on a large scale. i We welcome them as builders and their coming will be greatly to the advantage of this section.
