AN OVERLAND TRIP.

Ocala. (Fla.) Star: Mr. and Mrs. Charles Myers, who arrived last Friday from Wheatfield, Ind , and have been guests of the Montezuma, are completing all their arrangements to begin their homeward trip, overland, Thursday. For this purpose, they have secured a horse and fixed up a covered wagon for outdoor life and stop when you please living. They will go from here to the coast, near the mouth of the Withlacoochee river, at the gulf, and enjoy a good hunting, fishing and feasting off of delicious oysters. After which they will proceed northward along the coast and through the state until they strike Tallahassee, sell their outfit and take the cars for home. They expect to occupy four months in their trip through Florida. This is no new experience to Mr. Myers, as he tried the experiment five years ago, coming to Deadman’s Bay and then going north. Mr. Myers is a very affable gentleman and says such trips are to him the finest and most beneficial of recreations. He is also keeping the readers of his home paper, The Jasper County Democrat, fully posted as to his impressions of the country he sees and the people he meets. The Star wishes Mr. and Mrs. Myers a pleasant trip and trusts they will come and see us again.
