WMH un . ■ n in ’FLORIDA LAND AITRACTIVEi ELL WOOD GEORGE FINDS FLORIDA ' A LAND OF OPPORTUNITY. Elwood George, the well known traveling salesman who has been . coming to Syracuse, Indiana, so I twenty-five years, spent a year look- • ing over the state of Florida in search of land suitable for our ! northern farmers and finally located at Chipley, Washington County, which is known as the banner agricultural county of the state. It is where our northern farmer will feel I at home, raising all such crops as' in ihe north. Washington County j is the home of figs, Pecan nuts, i watermelon and sweet potatoes, all! of which are bigger money makers I than any of the northern crops. It I is where your stock lives out doors j the year around. Mr. George came here a few days J ago to tell his friends that he has ■ land at $25 an acre that will pro-; duce more dollars per acre than any ; other land in America and that the climate is the best in America. The weather is not as hot as in the north and there is no winter whatever. Consequently, it is a land entirely free from sickness such as • caused from our northern winters. Mr. George requested that his! friends go to see this land which is i only a 36-hour ride, tie is selling it on payments of $lO a in. nth with a guarantee to return every dollar to all who are not satisfied when they see the land. The best judges 1 of land in America claim that the : good land in Florida will be the the highest priced land in America. | Mr. George has left at Warren Colwell’s law office printed matter of interest to those that want to know more of this laud and he requests that they go as soon as possible. They can get 'land on good roads within three miles of Chipley which is a beautiful town of 2,000 inhabitants and is growing faster than any town in the south. Mr. George is now living in Chiplev, Florida, and will be pleased to hear from his old friends for further information.

i A Meiieval Gl»st Story By F. JI MITCHEL There is a story concerning one of the De' Medicis. a powerful Florentine ! family, which, if not true, at least accords well with medieval times. This man—l think he was Cosmo de’ Medici, first Duke of Tuscany—was as near satanic as it is possible for a man to be. One of his sons while bunting in a quarrel wounded his brother, and Cosmo killed the offending boy with his own sword. The duke’s daughter fell In love, and her father, who claimed the right to dispose of her hand, slew her also. His wife did not long survive these tragedies, and Cosmo ga\e himself up to so fiendish a career for the rest of his natural life that he shocked even his contemporaries. The above statements are historical. The story is as follows: There stood in the environs of Florence during the seventeenth century, near the spot where Duke Cosmo killed his sou. a villa which in his time had been a hunting lodge. It is well known that the duke’s conscience tortured him, and it is supposed that his profligate life after his wife’s death was to drown its voice. The hunting lodge, where it was supposed he was staying when he killed his son. after his demise was for many years unoccupied. The story goes that in the duke’s will that clause which referred to the lodge read. “The lodge where 1 sojourned when I found it necessary ' to maintain my authority as head of | the house of De’ Medici by punishing I my son I bequeath to the devil.” No one could be found who was willing to buy the place under such a title, i and for years after its owner passed I away so great was the horror of his memory that no one would rent it. At last, however, an Italian gentieman. I Signor Cavalli. bought it for a song and I converted it into a villa. He was a young man just married to a young and beautiful wife. One evening shortly before dinner— ; it was during the gloaming, before | candles were lighted—Signor Cavalli i was in the library trying to read in the j dusk. Signora was in her room, directly above, making her toilet. Suddenly the husband heard a thump directly over his head as of a body falling on the floor. He ran upstairs, and there lay his wife inanimate before her dresser. He took her up, carried her to a lounge, placed her on it and sprinkled water on her face. Thus revived, she looked at him with an expression of horror. “What is it. carissima?” he asked. She closed her lids as if to shut out some horrid picture, then opened them and said: "The duke!” “What duke?” “Cosmo, Cosmo and the devil—one or both. The features were those 1 have seen in portraits of the first Duke i of Tuscany, but they were also those of the devil. They looked at me from the mirror.” “Some one must have come upon you to frighten you.” “That awful face did not belong to any human being. It was dead Cosmo turned Lucifer.” The wife clung to her ing the rest of the evening and passed the night with him in a chamber at the other end of the villa. The next morning she begged him to take her away from the place, and he was obliged to do so. though he returned the same afternoon. He clung to the idea that some one had purposely frightened his wife and for a motive. He knew that certain persons, Duke Cosmo’s heirs, ■were interested in getting possession of the property, and he believed they were taking advantage of the clause in the will respecting it to frighten away any one who should buy it. hoping to secure it for a nominal price. Cavalli slept on the night of his return in the room where his wife had been so terribly frightened, if any one could scare him out of the house he had bought he was welcome to do so. He was indignant at the outrage that had been practiced upon him and placed under his pillow a rapier and a pistol with which’to take care of any one attempting to disturb him. He went to sleep with his hand on the pistol. Nothing unusual occurred during the night. He slept in the room several nights and before going to sleep for the last of them resolved that on the morrow he would go to Florence and endeavor to persuade his wife to return with him. He was awakened at midnight by seeing a light shining through the bed curtains. Pulling them aside, he saw two young persons, a boy and a girl, each holding a candle, walking slowly across the room. In the boy’s side was a gaping wound; In the girl’s breast was another. Strangely enough Cavalli did not feel frightened, though he was appalled. But in another moment another figure appeared behind the two, which froze the very marrow in his bones. A man whom he recognized as the same one his wife had described as having seen In her mirror walked behind the two young' persons. This little procession passed to the wall, apparently walking into it as persons walking down into water disappear beneath the surface. As soon as they had gone Signor Cavalli sprang from his bed and. rushing from the room, went down the staircase into the library below, where he spent the remainder of the night piling wood on embers he found on the hearth. In the morning he left the and rejoined his wife in Florence. —lce cream concoctions of every kind at Vawter Park Hotel. J. W. ROTHENBERGER : Undertaker : SYRACUSE, > : IND.

EUROPEANWAR(Continued from page 6) ' j Starting Point of War. Semlln. where the fleet of monitors assembled, lies on the west bank of ! the Danube just above the point where j the Save joins it. In the intersection i of the two rivers rises the lofty butte which is the core of the city of Belgrade. the Servian capital, which thus , I C f .H I F w ! ■ x * A A ' rSjS® AUSTRIAN TYROLEAN CAVALRY. I juts out into Hungarian territory. Semlin- is only two or three miles away and is easily commanded by guns j placed on the heights of Belgrade, as I the land lying in the neighborhood is i very low. At the intersection of the two rivers is War island, a marshy exI pause formed by the silt brought down by the Save. Around this the Austrian transports are compelled to go to take troops down the river, but the guns of warships at Semlin could easily bombard the city of Belgrade itself. Semlin has a population of about 17.000. but is a town of no special importance. except as a customs station and the starting point of military j operations below the Danube. It is almost surrounded by low lying swampy .ground, through which the railroad goes on to the southeast and crosses the Save into Belgrade at a i point about three or four kilometers I distant. Temesvar is an important railroad i center and garrison town of about 40.000 inhabitants, about fifty miles east of the Danube as it flows south through the plain of Hungary and seventy-five miles northeast of Eel grade. From it diverge several rai! road lines, which could carry troops down to the Danube so as to commence an invasion all along the northern frontier of Servia. One of these lines, striking off to the southeast, reaches the river, just after crossing the itouminian frontier, at Verciorova. Another leads to the southwest and ends at Panesova, on the Danube, only a few miles below Belgrade. A third, running southward, forks at Versecz, about twenty miles from the frontier. One branch runs to Panesova. on the southwest, another east to Bazias, on the Danube, about forty miles below Belgrade, and the third to Kubin, midway between Belgrade and Bazias. Opposite Kubin is the Servian town of Semendrra. formerly a fortress of great strength. It Is still a town of considerable Importance and. as the end of a branch line of railroad, could be used as the starting point of maneuvers to cut off Belgrade from the rest of Servia. . j I CHARITY SERMONS. With malice toward none, with charity for all. with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right.—Lincoln. The desire of power in excess caused the angels to fall: the desire of knowledge in excess caused man to fall, but in charity there is no excess: neither can angel or man come to dan- j ger by it.—Bacon. No sound ought to be heard in the church but the healing voice of Christian charity.— Burke. Time to Quit. Two old Scotch fishermen, having imbibed overmuch, were on their way home, and, being overcome with a great desire to sleep, they accordingly stretched themselves on the warm beach sands and were soon slumbering heavily. The tide crept in, awakening the one nearest the water as a wavelet dashed a quantity of the salty liquid into his mouth. Half asleep, he started to arise, saying, “It’s time we wis awa’ oot o’ this house. They're changin’ the drink on us?’ Cheering Him Up. There is a young lawyer in a town which shall be nameless. He has little or no practice and is at present feeling discouraged. On leaving his office the other day he placed a card on the door on which he had neatly written: “Will return in an hour.” When he came back he found Iritten on the card the words, •>Vbat for?”—Chicago News.
