(Crowded out last week)
At the lecture and lantern views
shown by Rev. J. J, Durrant of Var-
na on'Monday evening the attendance
was snmall but the lecture and views
were of a very high . ceder. The
rugged beauty 'of the scenery was
most interesting. There are no
automobiles andvery few horses.. In
the 'winter they travel with skis or
skates, in summer they travel by
boat. His description of the cod
fishing, and the catching of -seals was
very interesting.`
Those who are at the syrup making
report' a good run "so there will be
plenty of that delicacy and commod-
ity to meet the`demand.
Met. Wm. Anderson was called to
Hensall last week owing to the death
of her 'sista., Mrs: wm.. Webber. The
deceased lady had been confined to
her room for the past six weeks, ow-

r3AYPIELD'S MUNICIPAL CLERK
WRITES INTERESTINGLY OF
LIFE IN FLORIDA
Mr. II.,' W. Erwin, Bayfield, who
has'been spending the winter in' Flor
ida, sends us an interesting -account
of spine of his experiences where peo-
ple go to lengthen out the summer:
"The 'News -Record Editor:
Well, I guess I have missed a hard
winter, by reports we 'hear from On-
tario. It is lovely weather.., here all
the time only chilly at -nights, .but it
is getting warmer now. Nye sit, out
on the veranda in the day time and,
also. till dark. This is a pretty lively
city, too Much :so for me, as I' don't
.get 'much 'sleep at nights for street
cars, trains and autos running at
night. We are located right ` neat
the ,centre of the city. I would ra-
ther he farther out from the bustle.
It is just like the ,corner of King or•
Queen and Yong•e, - Toronto. Such
crowds, and the autos, you ear
hardly
cross.a street for them, on every et.,
froni 3 to 5 miles out, ` Hundreds of

toseo it while here. 'It is on a large
island_ on the Gulf, where they aro
going to make a great winter resort;
They have started to build a pillion
dollar hotel and they were excavating,
for ,the foundation when they came
across •about, 100 .skeletons of Span-
iards

in paper bags. I saw. about 100 bags
full of ,them :but there was a largo
number of heads sticking out on the
,side they were 'digging, it was` a sight
to .see. They are . going from , all
round to see it and I saw some trees
on the Island with signs on them one
500 years old, another 35b years .old.
I got sortie moss off the 500 -year one
'to bring back, and I else saw a bridge
they are building here. They say it
is the longest bridge in the world. I
walked over one last Sunday 3 miles
long and the piers here in St. Peters-
burg are nearly a mile long where the
steamers come in. , This is a great
sponge fishing place. • Numbers of
boats lying' at the ,pier loaded with
sponges selling them. They are cheap;
all sizes, same as big as "a wash tub.;
People are beginning to go North
now, there 'were 97 trunks at one sta-
tion here last night to ship north. It
will take a good'' while to get the
crowds moved as there are 50,0000
tourists here. There are a large num-
-her • of beautiful churches, some of
them are grand. Nearly every re-
ligion you_ can think of haste a church.
The derides ;have two churches., They
are crowded here, every other person
you meet is a colored person, all the
maids are colored and the. waiters in
the restaurants. I mailed you one
of the dailies, printed here, hope you
get it, °look' an the front page at the
left side, where they give the paper
away the days the sun doesn't' shine.
There are a lot of amusements going
on in the afternoon, and every night
to keep people busy but don't go to
any 'of them myself, don't. feel like it
The oyster beds are thick here you
can pick then up any where in the
bay and gulf. They'say about one
half of the business shuts up here
When the winter tourists go home and
also the hotels. There are a
great many hotels here and some
grand, 12 stories high, brick. . They
are grand inside, too. In some of
them you pay as much as $100 a day
for rooms without board, and as low
aso$10 a day for a room with bath
without. board. Most people go to
the cafeteria for their meals so there
is one every other door here, or a
restaurat;t. They areall packed
full every day and every house in
the city outside of stores, cite:, is a
rooming house where they charge $15
a week for rooms and bath.
Some -,of the prices here; may be
interesting; Groceries about the'
same as in Ontario, sugar; 5 lbs. 49e.;

Why Ford. miilnates
M y es
If you were to ask the next fifty
Ford owners you meet why they
prefer Fords, you would get a
wide variety of answers.
Some would say, "Because they
seem never to wear out;" Others
would answer, "Because they
`cost' so little." Many would reply
"Because I can get service any-
where;" and just as many,
"Because it is, the only car I can
affordto own" ,
All would tell you,"Because they
See. Any Authorized Ford .Deafer
y Use;k:•s
master a bad road inanyweather,"
a woman driver would respond,
"Because I can drive it so easily."
From the fleet -owners you would
hear, "Because I can buy two or
three or four Ford Trucks for the
price of one big truck-.
Wherever you might inquire yott
would hear expressed these basic
reasons why Ford predominates
4 -why, year after year, Ford sales
equal the total sales of all other
cars 'combined.
