Dear “Watchman:” This is another of Florida’s perfect days. As last week’s “Watchman” has not arrived we are a bit at loss to know what is going on in old Cen- tre county. It is usually so regular in its arrival on Monday that a miss is probably more noticeable than it oth- erwise would be. We are planning to end our present sojourn here on April 13th, when we expect to start north, stopping a day in Washington and arriving in Belle- fonte, Thursday morning, April 16. It has been a mighty nice winter here, but as things are beginning to look like the morning after the night be- fore we realize that the season is over and all but the permanent residents are getting on their way. The Royal Ponciania and other large hotels closed yesterday and while most of their guests had left those tarrying ’til the last bell, like we, have taken rooms for a short while longer at places that don’t close quite so early. Real estate is still advancing and éverything here is booming beyond anything ever known before. Just Tuesday night Paris Singer, a large operator, announced that he and some associates will spend twenty-five mil- lion dollars immediately north of Palm Beach, building two hotels and the largest and most beautiful casino and play ground in the world. They will put an aerial ferry, 100 feet high, across the Inlet ‘so that all ocean going steamers can run under it, then a new bridge across Lake Worth, six miles north of this. Last-evening’s paper came out stating that six other buildings, three of them hotels to cost a million dollars each, are to be put up in West Palm Beach at once, so they can be open for next season. One of them is to be located just a short square from where ‘we are.. The lot; 159x98 feet, was bought for $120,000. Small houses and lots are selling so fast that the Recorder of deeds office is swamped and weeks behind with en- tries of record. It is not only here that they are buying like mad, but people who have been touring consid- erably report the same condition all over southern Florida. When and how it will all end, of course, is a prob- lem only the future will solve. Sunday we went over to Ponciana chapel to hear Dr. Ward preach his last sermon for the season. It is a fine church and was filled to the doors. That night we went to the First Meth- odist church and heard a good sermon and splendid music. Next Sunday W. J. Bryan is to talk in the park in the interest of the Y. M. C. A., which is to start a drive to raise $450,000 in nine days in order to erect a new building on the lot it already owns. They do big things quick here. Those who are not on the ground to see with their own eyes will scarcely understand the optimism that impels them to talk of millions as glibly as we talk of hun- dreds at home. We are rather anxious now to get home as we feel that we have loafed long enough for this time. If I were in the real estate I would stay here and make hay while the sun shines. Many of the men and women who came here from the north only a few ! years ago are wealthy today and still | piling it up. | ! Wish you had some of the straw- berries, tomatoes, potatoes, beans, cabbage, carrots, turnips, egg plant, roasting ears and other vegetables we get fresh from the garden every day. The trip back to the canned stuff after we get home, will be a hard one for us, I expect, and we'll just about get used to it when our own garden be- | gins to produce, I suppose.

Fr oe ————— KERLIN.—Herbert Kerlin, who was born and raised near Bellefonte and spent his early life here, died very suddenly at his home in New York city at one o’clock last Thurs- day morning as the result of a heart attack. He was a son of Daniel and Eliza- beth Evey Kerlin and was born at Roopsburg forty-seven years ago, his father for many years having had charge of the Roopsburg mill. When he grew to manhood he began clerk- ing in the Bellefonte stores and for a number of years was employed in the store of Lyon & Co.
