The Daytona Daily News

ORMOND is five miles north of Daytona, located on the western bank of the Halifax River. The location of the town permits of good drainage and perfect sanitation; the elevation is superb and ideal for winter homes. A wide bridge connects Ormond with Ormond Beach. Many fine residences are maintained on either side of the river, most of them embellished with sub-tropical flora and shrubbery, besides thrifty orange and other citrus fruit trees.

The town is very cosmopolitan, has an excellent graded school, several churches, a fine public library, up-to-date places of business and comfortable and convenient hotels and boarding houses.

Ormond has many of the Florida attractions-fine fruit, good fishing, excellent automobiling, safe boating, salubrious climate and pleasant walks and drives.

At Ormond Beach is located the large Hotel Ormond, and its lesser sister, Bretton Inn. The former occupies a position overlooking the Halifax River, while the latter has as its outlook the magnificent beach and the broad Atlantic.

The walks in all directions are particularly attractive, and the arbors, shady and inviting spots and romantic nooks are crowded with rustic seats which are mute invitations to enter into the enjoyment thereof.

Besides the broad, smooth ocean beach there are many drives for carriage or automobile-long drives and short drives; drives through groves of golden oranges; drives through dense tropical forests to Spanish ruins; drives to the ancient Causeway built by the slaves of planters of long ago, and drives to the plantations of hospitable settlers, whose places are replete with the interest of Southern fruits and flowers.

One of these interesting plantations is Number Nine, located on the peninsula, five miles north of the Hotel Ormond. Here you see a fine orange grove, together with great varieties of other sub-tropical fruits and flowers.

Five miles further on you come to Moundgrove, one of the finest orange groves in this section of Florida. Moundgrove is on the headwaters of the Halifax River and is amid pretty surroundings. The place is reached by a good road passing Number Nine and is a drive all tourists may enjoy.
