Excerpt from Alachua Immigration Association: Office of Executive Committee, Gainesville, Fla In the preparation of the following pages I have endeavored to make a plain, unvarnished statement of facts in regard to the resources and capabilities of the County of Alachua. No effort has been made to draw a fancy sketch, or to indulge in rhetorical flourishes or poetic description, the desire has been to tell "the truth, the whole truth and nothing bu the truth, " with the assurance that a "cloud of witnesses" of unimpeachable character exist who will vouch for the correctness of every statement made. I regret that professional engagements have precluded me from devoting as much time as I would have liked to the work. During its preparations the Fall terms of the Circuit Courts have been in session, demanding the greater part of my time. The liberty has been taken of copying many paragraphs from the "Eden of the South, ' the trade editions of the Alachua Advocate and other similar publications, in fact my labors have been those of Editor and Compiler. As neither the Association under whose auspices this pamphlet has been prepared nor myself has the slightest pecuniary personal interest therein, no motive can exist for presenting other than a truthful sketch. If after reading the following pages many may be induced to come to "the Land of Flowers" and make happy and prosperous homes in Alachua County, where they will be cordially received, we shall feel amply compensated for our labor.
