QUINCY
Population, 3,500. The judicial seat of Gadsden county, is one of the oldest towns in Florida, lying 189 miles west of Jacksonville on the main line of the S. A. L. Ry., it is easy of approach by
this railroad from the east or west or from the north and south by the G. F. & A. R. R. Being located on the Old 'Spanish Trail Highway, with good roads coming in from all other directions, approach by automobile is a pleasure to the tourist. Quincy is 24 miles west of Tallahassee. It is located in the heart of the tobacco belt, in one of the few best agricultural counties of Flori- da. The tobacco grown here is used for wrappers and binders on cigars and the quality is equaled only in the United States by the tobacco grown in the state of Connecticut. It has been esti- mated by those best informed that the 1917 crop brought the growers in the neighborhood of $2,000,000. The tobacco grown here is packed and prepared for the markets by the several large pack- ers. One company alone has thirteen large packing plants in Quincy.
The soil in Gadsden county is a rich sandy loam and produces in abundance any crop adapted to Florida. Corn, sweet potatoes, peanuts, velvet beans, rye, oats, sugar cane, some alfalfa and various other staple crops flourish in this splendid and fertile county. The contour of the land is gently rolling; enough so to break the monotony and afford good drainage. There is very little of the low, flat, sandy land such as may be found in the southern part of Florida. The public highways in Gadsden county are far above the av- erage, though no bonds have ever been issued for road building purposes. But the commissioners are making rapid strides in road building and have re- cently bought large road machines in order to carry on the construction of roads at a more rapid rate of speed. Quincy is known far and wide for its intellectuality and hospitality. A splen- did high school, giving a nine months' course, is maintained and interest in education is manifest in a marked de- gree. The religious faiths are repre- sented by the Methodist, Presbyterir Episcopal, Baptist and Catholic churches. The Methodist congregation

is now having erected a thirty thou- sand dollar church and the Presbyter- ian and Baptist churches expect to build new edifices in the near future. The city has electric lights and an ex- cellent water system. Banking facili- ties are afforded by 2 strong banks. Recently an election was carried to bond the city for eighteen thousand dollars for street paving purposes. Added to this, the two-thirds to be paid for by property owners will give Quincy twelve paved blocks at a cost of $54,000. A weekly newspaper, the Gadsden County Times, is published. A wide-awake organization, known as the Quincy Boosters' Club, will be glad to give any information desired by any one in regard to Quincy and Gadsden county. Tel., W. U. Exp., Sou.
