BAYARD AND SWEETWATER. 



Two Prosperous Towns between Jacksonville and St, Augustine, 



Judge A. O. Wright, of this city, has devoted the past year to developing the highlands on the 

 east side of St. Johns river, along the route of the Jacksonville, St. Augustine and Halifax River Rail- 

 way, has established two towns, and is arranging for otheri. Being the land commissioner of that rail- 

 road he has had special advantages in locating the most desirable points. In January last he Usrted the 

 town of Bayard, and to-day it numbers sixty souls. It has two stores, three boarding-houses, a post- 

 office, two saw-mills, and 'a public school. People are moving in from everywhere. Lots of 125x170 

 feet, sold only to actual settlers. It is very high, and drainage is perfect. Only eight miles from 

 " Old Ocean.'' Half an hour from Jacksonville, and less than an hour from St. Augustine. Pure air, 

 pure drinking wte , good soil, good grass. Ozone fills the air, and asthmatics instantly relieved 

 by its dry, balmy atmosphere. An orange grove on this place, the land was cleared in January, 1884, 

 orange trees transplanted in February, 1884; these trees bore oranges last year, and are loaded with 

 oranges this year, and not an ounce of fertilizers used. Six trains pass througnt Bayard daily.
