Peters gives a glimpse of his trip from Port Perry to Miami, Florida. To the Editor of the Port Perry Star: Dear Mr. Farmer -- Leaving Port Perry, we went by way of Myrtle to Toronto, and then to Detroit, and it rained all the way from there to Rome, in Georgia, the second night. 1 never saw an acre of fertile land all the way through Kentucky and Tennesee. The country did not look as though it would raise grasshop- pers. Night overtook us at Rome and we waked up in Jacksonville--a new an pleasant place. There is a beautiful station here and very large railway yards, 26 tracks in all, I'm told. We stayed at Jacksonville one hour and then went south. The land was most- ly flat and wet. Place after place for ten miles south of Jacksonville you could see sections staked out for streets and building lots, with two or three litte houses on each. This is what is called the "Everglades" be- tween Jacksonville and Miami. We arrived in Miami after a trip of 43 hours and 45 minutes from Detroit. Yours sincerely, A. D.
