Rev. William a. Crawford visited the
Woodstock Graded School on last Mon
day and delivered a very appropriate
address to the pupils. Our teachers are
always glad to receive the visits of
patrons of the school and of others
Many persons send their children to
this school, and have no acquaintance
with the teachers or their mode Of
teaching. Woodstock has made liberal
provision for the education of her chill
dren. Our public school is not confined
to the primary branches, but students
have the opportunity of pursuing an
academical and a collegiate course of
studies. To be able to fudge properly
Of the character and advantages of a
school, persons shouldvisit it, and not
depend solely upon the notices which
appear in your county paper. While
we appreciate the opportunities which
this school affords to our children, we
are not unmindful that there are other
schools IN the county of which our peo-
pie have the right to feel proud. We
could mention a number where the
teachers are well qualified, active, and
efficient and where their pupils give
evidence Of progress which is very
creditable. To all who have child.en at
school, we would say, visit your school
frequently. 1t will encourage teacher
and children and it will enable you to
judge intelligently Of the merits Of your
school.

Local Notices,

To THOSE WHO WERE SUBSCRIBERS
FOR THE DEMoCRAT.-The publishing
company of the DEMOCRAT have a
large number Of small bills for sub
scription and job work which they pro-
pose to send out for collection. Their
intention is not to harrass any Of their
old patrons, but merely to put the bills
where it will be convenient to pay them
any time within the present year.
IF their friends will reccollect that these
little sums aggregate large amount,
and represent seven years Of hard labor
they feel sure of an earnest effort to
pay them within reasonable time.
The bills will be sent to each township
with instructions to give good time for
payment and also to correct any mis-
takes that may exist. Every endeavor
has been made to keep the numerous
accounts correctly, but it is not to be
hoped that some mistakes have not oc-
CURED in such a large number of names.
It is earnestly hoped these accounts
will be promptly settled, and that all
our old friends will continue their
patronage Of the consolidated paper,
which we are trying to make first class
in every respect. At,

Fearing
that you may think that l came in con-
tact with tho Florida returning board,
and had been sent back to Washington
or Virginia, 1 will inform you of my
whereabouts. We had delightful trip
by way Of Washington, Gordonsville,
Lynchburg, Chlrlotte, Atlanta and
Brunswick, where we took steamer to
Fernandinos We went to Jacksonville
by rail, travelling four days and three
nights. Jacksonville is beautiful
city. the houses have yards in
front, full of orange trees laden
with fruit. The city is thickly shaded
with large live oaks that remain green
all winter. There are q number Of
handsome stores, on Bay street, in the
windows Of which are many curiosities
such as sea beans, alligator teeth, shells,
sc. The city has number Of fine
hotels Of which the ST. James is the
largest, where board is furnished at four
dollars per day. Nearly every other
house is private boarding house. After
spending eight days in Jacksonville,
we took steamer up the st. Johns river
for Millonyilie. The St. Johns is q
beautiful river. 1t varies from four to
eight miles in width. Along the banks
are wild orange trees full Of fruit,
palmettoes, and the entire forest is
plumed with gray silvery moss of fringed
texture. This moss is used for mattresses
and for other purposes. We saw num-
bers ofalligators, ducks, coons, white
cranes and variety Of birds. Some of
the passengers shot a number Of ducks
and alligators, from the deck Of the
steamer. One of the alligators, think
was some thing less then eighteen feet
long, but, of course, the boat did not
stop to permit the measure to be made.
After two days upon the river, we arriy-
ed at Mellonville, a distance of two hun
dred miles. After a day at Mellonville,
we came to Fort Reid, and boarded at
hotel kept by DR.. Spencer, of Virginia.
From this point, We expect to go to
Altamont and thence to st. Augustine,
the oldest town in the United States.
This is, indeed land Of flowers, but
it does not flow with milk and honey
The climate is delightful, the thermom-
eter has been standing all this week at
from 80 to IS degrees in the shade
Just like the first Of June in Virginia.
We have peas, radishes and straw
berries. Everything has the appearance
of summer. Many of the orange trees
are as large as apple trees, bearing
from eight to ten thousand oranges IN
season. This hard country for poor
man to make living. The soil is one
vast bank Of sand not suitable for agri-
culture and il takes from twenty to
twenty-five years to get an orange
grove in profitable, bearing condition.
A full grown orange grove Of four acres
will bring fifty thousand dollars. Flor
ida is filing up rapidly. Orange coun-
ty, which poled 70 votes in 1870, now
poles 1900, one thousand Of which are
democratic. Land is selling from one
dollar and twenty-five cents per acre to
two hundred dollars per acre according
to Improvements and location. The
most Of the people, who are here on
account of the climate, are men Of
culture. They live on former resources
while they rear grove Of orange
