■ On leaving bome, our objective
was St. Petersburg, known as tbe

era extremity of Pinellas Peninsula,
lying between Tampa Bay on the
■B'Trr*. am. tha Gulf o» Mexico on tbe
Weat.

I want to suggest to any or my

to Florida, not to judge of Florida as
they may see it from the car window
a^fli- tbeir journey down bere, but to re-
*F serve tbeir judgement for a tew days
»fta? they have landed on ber soil.
For ta you ride tbrongbtbe conntry
and look out opon the wbite sand,
aa4 barrenness, and lack of improvement, your first thought is, I want to
go back to Michigan. But don't jump
oat of tbo car windows and take tbe

aj». climate and sunshine, not, the

oW . ban tba aweetly tempered atmosphere
and tbo balmy breezes tbat blow

Onr ttret stop i_ Florid* was at
Largo, kaowc as the Citrus City of
tbe South. Situated about halt way
down on tbe Pinellas Peninsula. Our
object In stopping here was to visit
onr cousins wbo live here. Mra.
Edith Hall Monroe and ber husband,
end Mrs. Mary W- Edget. Mr. and
Ml*. Monroe hav© a beautiful place,
of ten acres, set ont to grape fruit
and orange tree*, situated on the
- brick paved road, about one
ila Irom tbe city. Tbeir orchard is
; yet in foil bearing but tbere are
soma adjoining tbelrs, -bat was a
beautiful sight to behold.
Mrs. Edget's place la situated about
two and one half miles from tbe city
et Largo, one bait of a _s'le off of the
brick paved road to St. Petersburg.
Mrs. Edget and ber daugbter both
bore a beautifully located twenty
aero farm with a comfortable well
Bnilt bome on each place, situated
aide by side. Tbey have eight or ten
acres improved on each place. Orange
orchards have been started and
I general farm crops are growing.
Mostly what I bave said so far since
w* landed in Florida has been abont,
load farms, orange grov-s etc. Bat
cow I want .o tell you about the real
(king in Florida. As 1 sat upon tbe
poreb of Mrs. Edgets home, tbe next
Morning after our arrival, and felt
the gentle balmy, salt laden breexes

Mrs. AdaJHood.
(From _> _2 Lake Correspondent.)
Mrs. Ada Hood, wife of James
Hood of Frost township, died of tuberculosis at Toledo, Ohio, on Marcb
12. Sbe came with her husband to
Frost township in 1917 and tbey were
making a nice home wbea ber health
failed. Hoping tbat tbe change to
tbe bome of ber parents at Toledo
might be beneficial she went tbere
bat continued to fail till deatb came.
The body was taken to tbe old home
at Adrian for burial.
She leaves beside her husband a little son three yeara old, her parents,
Mr. and Mrs. Anderson of Toiedo, a
sister, Mr*, Partridge of Adrian, Mr.
and Mra. Perry Hood of Frost and a
host ot friends.
Oeorge E. Bersette is tbe Republi-
can candidate tor con_.nlaa.oner of
schools and be la well worthy tbe
support of all Republican voters. He
is a self-made yooog man in tbe best
aenss of tbe term and baa mads bis
way in life under quite adverse circumstances.*" Coming from a very
humble home, at tbe early age of
fourteen years be began life for himself. For one year be did cborea
aboat a hotel in Harrison while be attended scbool there, and tben be
found employment in tbe store of
Wm. Murphy for whom be continued
to work wbile completing bis coarse
Mr. and Mrs. Murphy have all the
years taken a great Interest in tbe
boy whom tbey found "faithful in a
few thing.," and doubtless Mr. Bersette feels deeply grateful to tbem
for their kindness. Teaching In tbe
rural schools provided tbe means for
a course at tbe Central Normal and
tbat bas been followed by several
years' work as superintendent of village schools.
It strikes us that these are several
reasons wby Mr. Bersette will make
an acceptable commissioner.
1. He is a clean young man, free
from any objectionable habits, and
will set a good example for tbe boys
with whom ho will be thrown in contact.
2. He is up to date in educational
matters. One might bave attended *
Normal institution several years ago
and now be sadly behind tbe educational thought of today.
3. Tbe struggle necessary to make
his way unaided in tbe world has developed tbat stamina and force of
character that will enable blm to successfully discharge tbe duties of that
office.
4. He Is a young man, full of vigor
and enthusiasm, and can inspire en
thasiasm in the teachers acd pupils
of tbe county.
5. He gave up bis scbool work to
serve the country in tbe ranks, and
very likely the voters will feel tbat
tbis should have due consideration.

He was of a qniet, retiring disposition to and manifested no disposition
to wander away from tbe paternal

trade in early life and followed it industriously in tbe later years.
For a number of years he hart been
afflicted with chronic appendicitis,
yet continued his work and neglected
to take any steps to relieve bis condition. An operation was performed at
the bome bere by a skillful surge.n,
but apparently tbe relief came too
late and he died on Marcb

Mostly of wbat 1 shall have to say •0 tbese letters about Florida will be cantered with Piuallas County, extending from Tarpon Springs on tbe north, to St. Petersburg on the soutb taking in the entire Pinellas Peniosu I want to suggest to any or my readers who may contemplate coming to Florida, not to judge of Florida as they may see it from the car window a^fli- tbeir journey down bere, but to re- *F serve tbeir judgement for a tew days »fta? they have landed on ber soil. For ta you ride tbrongbtbe conntry and look out opon the wbite sand, aa4 barrenness, and lack of improvement, your first thought is, I want to go back to Michigan. But don't jump oat of tbo car windows and take tbe »rt-t-train bome. Stick to your seat keep yoar eyes from looking apon the drearv landscape it you must, asadjoat remember it is not Florida 3B you are going after, bat Florida aj». climate and sunshine, not, the \ earth nnd the waters under tbe earth, oW . ban tba aweetly tempered atmosphere and tbo balmy breezes tbat blow above tke earth. Onr ttret stop i_ Florid* was at Largo, kaowc as the Citrus City of tbe South. Situated about halt way down on tbe Pinellas Peninsula. Our object In stopping here was to visit onr cousins wbo live here. Mra. Edith Hall Monroe and ber husband, end Mrs. Mary W- Edget. Mr. and Ml*. Monroe hav© a beautiful place, of ten acres, set ont to grape fruit and orange tree*, situated on the - brick paved road, about one ila Irom tbe city. Tbeir orchard is ; yet in foil bearing but tbere are soma adjoining tbelrs, -bat was a beautiful sight to behold. Mrs. Edget's place la situated about two and one half miles from tbe city et Largo, one bait of a _s'le off of the brick paved road to St. Petersburg. Mrs. Edget and ber daugbter both bore a beautifully located twenty aero farm with a comfortable well Bnilt bome on each place, situated aide by side. Tbey have eight or ten acres improved on each place. Orange orchards have been started and I general farm crops are growing. Mostly what I bave said so far since w* landed in Florida has been abont, load farms, orange grov-s etc. Bat cow I want .o tell you about the real (king in Florida. As 1 sat upon tbe poreb of Mrs. Edgets home, tbe next Morning after our arrival, and felt the gentle balmy, salt laden breexes frees tbe gulf or bay. gathering sweet perfoir-ee as tbey came tbrougb he Southern pines, I thought surely we bed reached at laat, a land cf pare dcUg-t. Next week I hope tbat I may be i to tell yoa something more of tbe h attractions, places of interest bere, i of tbe reeoar.ee of Pinellas Pen- taeola. i J. L. Littlefieid.

Mrs. Ada Hood, wife of James Hood of Frost township, died of tuberculosis at Toledo, Ohio, on Marcb 12. Sbe came with her husband to Frost township in 1917 and tbey were making a nice home wbea ber health failed. Hoping tbat tbe change to tbe bome of ber parents at Toledo might be beneficial she went tbere bat continued to fail till deatb came. The body was taken to tbe old home at Adrian for burial. She leaves beside her husband a little son three yeara old, her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Anderson of Toiedo, a sister, Mr*, Partridge of Adrian, Mr. and Mra. Perry Hood of Frost and a host ot friends. Oeorge E. Bersette is tbe Republi- can candidate tor con_.nlaa.oner of schools and be la well worthy tbe support of all Republican voters. He is a self-made yooog man in tbe best aenss of tbe term and baa mads bis way in life under quite adverse circumstances.*" Coming from a very humble home, at tbe early age of fourteen years be began life for himself. For one year be did cborea aboat a hotel in Harrison while be attended scbool there, and tben be found employment in tbe store of Wm. Murphy for whom be continued to work wbile completing bis coarse Mr. and Mrs. Murphy have all the years taken a great Interest in tbe boy whom tbey found "faithful in a few thing." and doubtless Mr. Bersette feels deeply grateful to tbem for their kindness. Teaching In tbe rural schools provided tbe means for a course at tbe Central Normal and tbat bas been followed by several years' work as superintendent of village schools. It strikes us that these are several reasons wby Mr. Bersette will make an acceptable commissioner. 1. He is a clean young man, free from any objectionable habits, and will set a good example for tbe boys with whom ho will be thrown in contact. 2. He is up to date in educational matters. One might bave attended * Normal institution several years ago and now be sadly behind tbe educational thought of today. 3. Tbe struggle necessary to make his way unaided in tbe world has developed tbat stamina and force of character that will enable blm to successfully discharge tbe duties of that office. 4. He Is a young man, full of vigor and enthusiasm, and can inspire en thasiasm in the teachers acd pupils of tbe county. 5. He gave up bis scbool work to serve the country in tbe ranks, and very likely the voters will feel tbat tbis should have due consideration. Notice. STUDY CtUB Met With Mrs. Jas. Duncan Mar. 18.
