In the imnmensuie immigration from for-
eign countries to Our shores, we notice
the tendency for people of each nation"
ality to settle whete there is some of his
own countrymen. I A northern man has
ideas and custom-whichl he is ,loth to
give up, and which, in many respects,
11 Y
are fardi ferent tltan those if his south"
ern brother. Be it, understood, I am not
writing anything io prejudice any onie
against the native people hliere. In my
dea!ings,,with them' I havs found them
vcourtious, accomnodating, and strictly
honest. A person may .t. e the hlhest
r,:1gar. for anoth. aniIat the same
nime h\ve many i,'faiq and customs who:l-
lyditerent. It I rs it natNral when a
northern man reos,it is delsirable to Fet-
tie in the sunny (-ourh 1ee i.se of ill
health or other re- on,s th-t he1 should
prefer to settle w.er(re northliern people
with nortl,,in i,.e' limive ,ne a head otf

f;r lnd ed-lue.te. I this res; r.t a north-

of the people now :- ttled in it, are re

The place now bearing this name, was
first settled during the winter of 1875
and '76, by a few families, mostly from
the northern states. In those days the
new-comner to this "land of fruits and
flowers," was compelled to have an
abundant supply of nerve and courage.,.
Nothing but the unbroken forest wahs to
be seen fr,,m the St. John's t4 Lakes
DeLancey and Kerr on the east and
wvest; aud from the Ocklawaha to the big
scrub on the north a-nd south. It was,
well called "Pine Island" by the hunt-
ers who frequented it in search of gamnie.
At Lake Kerr, about five miles from
Norwalk, was a large plantation owned
and occup ed byVr.. Williamson; wbhichb.
inth the adjoining country, is now the
site of Kerr City. .,,. .
A Abut two.in miles from Little Lake
George is tlhebuiiness center of the set-
tlement, of' Norwalk, surrounded bV
beautiful pine lands, which cannot be
excelled for'healthfulness. ,
The Kerr City itaepasses te entire
length of this i-litnd; and the Palatka &
Ochlawalat River railway will pass
through the most desirable portion of
this settlement. This ruad will be built
in the n-ar future, lprhably within one
year, and it is to be a "Standartd gauge
and a first class road in every respect,
and will open up the grandest Tourist
Route in the south-conuecItiing the -1am-,

-with another of the werld's wonders.- ,

A carefully prepared prospectus shows
Sausiliess of_$2,5JO a mile per annum

ably expect to be doubled the second

The fifty thousand orange trees now in
grove iu Norwaik alone, is .utlicent ,evi-
dence that somebody lives here, and the
fact that no doe, or can earn his hom-
ing l)Tofes.-.i,,n lly in this community,
should be enough to satisfy the most
sceptical of the healthfulness of the
iocliiy.

Upon our advent to the enterprising

Village of Kerr (City, the exc.i ting tale :
of Douglas' eneobunter with the contrary
waves t tLake Kerr during a gale was
glibly narrated to us by numerous spec-
tators, who really enjoyed thle dislo.ihi--
orture, and failure of said Douglas to
reach a port of safety. Although cast
about at the mercy of the relentless
deep, yet thie bull-dog pluck of the man
from Michiganu-, caused him to faithfutily
stay by the ship from 9 o'clock in the
morning utnil5 o'clock at night, with
untiring and undaunted v4or,. Aj"
