THE MORNING stillness is again broken by the rich song of the mocking-birds. We have missed them since June. Spring and fall are their special singing seasons in South Florida. Brothers Jesse Putnam, Arthur Moore and Lou Staton have been clearing away the debris left from the burning of the post office, warehouse, dental office and barber shop on August 8. Much-needed tree trimming and other improvements are being made. Dr. and Mrs. W. A. Walden of Fort Myers were recent visitors in Estero. They hold a warm place in the hearts of our brothers and sisters for the close attention they paid our late brother, Dr. David Richards, .in his last illness. Mr. Ernest F. Coe, founder of the Everglades National Park and an official of the Florida Everglades N ational Park Association, visited friends at the Unity September 2, en route to St. Petersburg where he was scheduled to deliver a radio address about the Park project. On September 4, Sisters Etta Silverfriend, Barbara Ehrisman, Bella Armour and Brothers Allen Andrews and Henry Silverfriend motored to the beach at Estero Island in the interests of some property located there. On, Labor Day Brothers Allen Andrews, Samu~l Armour and Roger Perry took a trip through the northern Everglades region to the east shore of Lake Okeechobee. When returning, they stopped at LaBelle, visiting our friends there, Mr. and Mrs. James Newcomb. Miss Bertie Boomer left on September 6 for Philadelphia to visit her sister, Mrs. Walter H. Thomas. Tuesday, September 6, marked the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of the Koreshan Home in Chicago, in 1888. Several members of the Colony arrived in Estero in December, 1893, the first large party arriving on February 6, 1894. On September 9, Sisters Barbara Ehrisman, Florence Graham and Adah Price, and Brother Allen Andrews motored to Miami, Sister Adah stopping off in Southwest Miami to visit her friends, Mrs. Katharine and Miss Josephine Daniels; the rest of the party went on to their relatives and friends, the Graham brothers, in North Miami. On our return trip we stopped at the" Rutherford Croton Gardens, where we observed hundreds of crotons, in hundreds of varieties in a riot of color -a wonderfully beautiful sight, this being the time of year for their highest colorings. Mr. and Mrs. Frank Lewis were our dinner guests on Sunday, September 11. We are always glad to have with us these Everglades friends. Sisters Emily Bessemer, Etta Silverfriend and Bella Armour, L. W. Bubbett and H. D. Silverfriend motored to the beach on Estero lsland Sunday Se ptember 11, taking the new road from the Tamiami Trail to McGregor Boulevard, which shortens the distance by ten miles from the old route. 1 Mrs. Eleanore Castle and granddaughter, Miss ~ Dawn Castle, returned from their Chicago trip September 13. They report a most enjoyable visit among their friends. Mrs. A. I.J. Camphausen and Miss Elin Lindbergof Fort Myers were visiting friends in the Unity September 14. Mrs. Marie McConnell of Tampa arrived by bus to visit her parents, Sister Abbie and Brother Wm. McCready, and friends, over the week-end. On September 17, Mr. Robert Graham of Miami arrived, bringing home his mother and sister, Sisters Ella and Florence Graham. Sister Ella had been vislting Robert for several months. Sister Florence returned after a week's stay. Robert returned the following day. We were sorry he could not stay longer . Sisters Ella and Florence Graham and Barbara Ehrisman are busy getting established in their new quarters over the bakery. N o one feels more keenly than they the loss of the building recently destroyed by fire. Their living rooms had been there so many years. Sister Emma Norton is as busy as a bee, making sheets, pillow slips, bakery and kitchen aprons, towels, holders, and mending bed-linen, etc., besides making gresses for herself. She is a master hand at making cordials and various mixtures which greatly alleviate suffering brothers and sisters. She often visits the bedsIde of a shut-in, and gives counsel to those who seek it. She also is very successful in growing ornamental plants. Quite a record for one who has. passed the four-score mark. Brother Arthur Moore, in addition to his store duties, is, doing excellent service in clearing up the grounds. Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Pierson and Miss Betty Berry of East Orange, N. J ., recently stopped at E~tero to see L. W. Bubbett. They are friends of Claude J. Rahn, now living in East Orange, but who formerly .resided in Estero. With thankful hearts we report that the tropical storm which was due to strike Estero September 20, veered to the east. Our sympathies are with the stricken people of the upper Atlantic coast, where the storm finally struck with tremendous fury. Brother Alfred Christensen is doing greatly appreciated work in the bakery department, as one of his many duties. Bella Armour, L. W. Bubbett and H. D.
