WINGHAM TO FLORIDA
rateresting Account ofliVinter Trip
by Dr. F. A. Parker
, In response to your request I take
pleasure in giving the "Advance -
Times" readers some inforMation re-
speeteng 'Florida and of that section
which I recently visited
To leave Wingharn during one of
the worst January blizzards with tem-
perature at ten below zero and arrive
after only foety-eight hours of travel
in a land where the sunshine is warm
and fruits and flowers are plentiful is
indeed a,pleasant and interesting ex-
perience. •
The trip dowe is lacking in interest,
especially in. the winter season, until
one comes to Sonthern TennaSsee.
Michigan, Illinois and. Indiana were in
the throes of winter and I noticed
ice ort tele ponds in decreasing
amounts as far south as Atlanta,
Georgia giving evidence of the severe
blizzard which had just swept the
country.
South of the Ohio river one is im-
pressed with the apparent poverty of
the land as shown by the farm hous-
es and general character of the farms.
These are dirty; the remains of last
season's crops are still in the fields
and no Fall fallowing is in evidence.
In Kentucky, tobacco and corn fields
and in Tennessee and Georgia, cotton
and. corn fields await the Spring for a
clean up,' Dead weeds are high along
the fences and the majority of the
farm houses are poor and the barns
are wretched. In hilly country the
land is badly gentled and it was no-
ticeable in sloping ground how the
farmers, had built and maintained
grassy ridges to offset the formation
of gullies by the heavy rains. Alto-
gether, the appearance of the Ken-
tficky and Tennessee farms would not
appeal in any respect to the farmer
from Ontario,
In Southern Tennessee the country
becomes mountainous; richly wooded
and ruggedly picturesque. "Look -out"
mountain. of Civil War fame rises ai.
rectly on the right as one enters Chat-
tanocfga. It is a 'high _ridge, well -
timbered arid taken with the general
roughness of the country, leads the
imaginatiOn back to the sixties and
the days when brother fought brother
through this mountainous land. Man\
small cerrieterics can be seen as one
passes through. these southern States,
mute evidence of the Civil War. '
Georgia is rough, pine covered and
thinly peppled. Judging by the farms
and farmhouses the land. is not tillecl
very thoroughly and nia,y possibly be
largely in negro hands. The pine
forest continue into Florida and lum-
ber camps and turpentine -refineries
are her and there. To prepare thc
pine tree a section probably four feet
long, seven or eight inches wide and
two inches deep is cut out near the
base,- the strip cut to a point and. the
turpentine drip from the tree is guid-
ed by metal insets into an earthen-
ware Jar resembling a flower pot. The
turpentine and lumber industries are
important ones in the South..
After skirting the north of Florida,
Jacksonville, the gateway of the State
is reached. Its splendid Union sta-
tion with commodious :waiting, room
and long platforms furnishes excell-
ent accomodation for the thousands
of touriste en route to a warmer lati-
tude. The lunch room provid.es a
good meal but one pay,s a real price
for it, while three blocks uptown the
same breakfast may be had for one
cinarter the price. I3utesuch is Flori-
da! Many, , institutions run for the
.inter season only but in tnat time
,nake a whole year's profit. They tell
us that the average temperature .of
Jacksonville is 55 degrees in January
and 82 in July .
Leaving Jacksonville I entered the
last lap of my journey, my destination
being. Daytona on the Florida East
Coast R. R., just el° miles south of
!he former city, The most interest-
ing town on this part of the joqrney
is Se Augustine.which teems with 'his-
toric interest. I will refer to St. Au-
gustine again.
At Hastings, 55ertailes south, is the
cenre of a potato krowing coantry.
Negroes were preparing and planting
seed for a second crop this season.
Here I noticed for tbe first, oranges
on the trees, and palm trees in the for-
ests were almost as numerous as the
pines, •
At Daytona . the orange, grape-
fruit and strawberry crape were ripe.
The green grocer kept a plentiful
supply of green peas, string beans,
lettuce, celery, (abbage, spinach end
Coma -roes always on hand to feed the
hungry Northerns, familiarly called
"Snowbirds". Many plants and
shrubs were in fell bloom. The bril-
liantepoitisettia—Floridals State Flow
er—wae 'prominently in evidence as
were also our moee familiar garden
flowers etich as sweet peas, *stocks,
marigolds and nasturtiums. These
beautify the. streets and homes while
the wide spreading live oaks drippieg
with feathery Spanish moss afford.

GAMBLE GETS FOUR YEARS
Kinloss Drover Sentenced to Four
Years in Penitentiary
Joseph Gamble, the Kinloss farm-
er and cattle &Over, who is, alleged
to have done a considerable busi-
ness in peeing forged., cheques,
would seem, if the' accuations are
true, to ita.veemet the fate of the pit-
cher that went to the well too often,
when he passed a forged cheque on
the Bank of Commerce at Walkerton
on Nov. Lath last for $35o For this
offertce fee was arraigned at the Spring
Assizes attt Walkerton last week; and
after a trial, which lasted from Mon-
day till Thursday afternoon, was ad-
judged by the jury as guilty of the
crime and was sentenced by thei Hon,
Justice, Mowatt, who presided, to four
years in Kingston peaitentiary. Two
other charges, that of cashing a forg-
ed cheque at Dungannon on Nov. es
bat and of forging another party's
name to the paper, had been indicted
by the Grand Jury, were not pressed
against the accused, in view of the
outcome of the Walkerton case
Mr. C. S. Cameron, K. C., of Owen
Sound, who appeared for the crown.
and Mr. B.G. Tucker, also of Owen
Sound, who defended the prisoner,
put up a stiff forensic battle over
the affair, the prisoner's counsel try-
ing desperately to establish an alibi
by producing evidence te show that
Gamble was elsewhere on the- day 'of
the Walkerton forgery, while the
Crown countered this by intimating
that the prisoner was crafty and
with his car could get about quickly
from one place to another, and hence
might be seen at different points
within a, very short space of time.
They produced unmistakable evi-
dence to show that Gamble was in
Walkerton on the day of the forgery
despite his protests that he wasn't
in Walkerton at all that day.
,Owing to the splendid. reputation
that the prisoner had harne prior to
his apprehension for the Walkerton
case, together with other sensational'
accusations that followed on the heels
of his arrest fora the forgery ordina-
tion here, lent peculiar interest to the
case and resulted in the Court RooM
being practically filled with spectators
from the opening of the trial to the
sentencing of the prisoner here last
week,
The charge of passing the forged
cheque at Walkerton, which was the
first of the triple complaints on
which the accused' was indicted by
the Grand Jury, set forth that he
had cashed a cheque at the Bank of
Commerce there .on. Nov lOth !eet
that had been drawn up on the •Mol -
son's Bank, Lucknow, purporting to
have been made out by A. McKinnon
in favor of one, Burt Thompson,
which latter person Gamble repre-
seated himself- to be at the Bank.
Mr. D. Robertson, K. C., who Was
the first whines, identified Gamble
as the man who had come to his of-
fice and represented himself as Burt
Thompson, and after havittee hint
draw up some mortgage papers, got
him to ,identify him at the Bank, •
Miss Cora W.ettlaufer, stenograph-
er Mr. Robertson's law office, posi-
tively identified the prisoner: she hav-
ing taken special notice of his double
set of false teeth.
Idr. L. G. Crozier, *tanager of the
Bank of Commerce,. aad Mn Jas.
Van de Water, accountant, in the
same Bank, were equally certain
about Gamble 'being the party who
cashed the cheque in their Bank.
Mr. Sam Mills, accoaintant in the
Bank of Montreal, identified Gamble
as the man who tried to get two
cheques cashed at his Bank the same
clay under Thornpsone's signature.
Mr. Markle, Manager of the Ont.
Savings Bank, there, told of a party
claiming to be Burt Thompson trying
to get a cheque cashed at his Bank
on Nov. teth, but coaldn't swear to
his identity,
Jerome Bruder, cashier at the Bank
of Commerce could identify the che-
que but not the prisoner.
Alex, McKinnon, farmer and cattle
dealer, whose name was used on the
cheque, claimed that he did not write

Provincial Officer Phippen and Mt.
Arthur Haines were driving . out the
lane from behind the Methodist
Church, the other afternoon when
one side of the cutter slipped down
on terra firma where Mr. McCool had
carefully scraped the sidewalk clean,
but alas the other side of the cutter
was high and dry on the winter's ice
and snow. Seeing the cutter tipping
Mr. Haines decided it would,be much
better to fall on the softer substance
and he had only two choices the side-
walk or Mr, Phippen. He chose the
latter.
Mr. Phippen's "rabbit" decided that
it was no safe place for her to be and
she'bolted with the cutter on its side.
No one saw 'the horse go around the
corner at the Baptist church in fact
there is a doubt whether it did or
not, as the owner holds some very
creditable cortificatei which the ani,
mal won for jumping high hurdles.
Mr. "Billie" Gray who was near the
scene is of the opinion that the horse
cutter and all flew over the Baptist
church and that it was while up in
the air that the cutter turned right
way up. Anyhow in the twinkling of
an eye the horse and cutter was fly-
ing up Edward St to the park Peo-
ple who saw the runaway claim that
the little driver was easily doing a
couple of miles a minute.
Strange to relate when Bailiff Phip-
pen and his passenger got the horse
land cutter there was not a scratch on
either, but the horse had pulled her
'shoes off.
A few years ago this little pony
13d. breakertracks
, was a reco on the
both as a runner and juniper With
't all its faults its owner loves it still
and has purchased a small buggy
:from Mr. Sneath to make it easier on
his pee Just try to pass this protta
,little beast on the road and. see if she
; can't travel some.
