containing $50 acres richest hammock land
fronting II miles on the beautiful Withla-
cOOchee river. Upon this place are 1000
orange trees that have ust commenced
bearing and will yield the present season
at least $4,000 oranges, and certainly over
100000 next year. Also $1,000 six year old
sour seedlings already budded, and one
acre set in Bananas. l propose to bestOw
on this place $500 more banana plants. l
offer the whole of this last mentioned place
for ST., 900 cash.
The locality of both these groves fully
insures against liability to injury from the
severest changes of temperature, and re-
gard this section of country as the very
best in the State for the successful cultiva-
ton of semi-tropical and tropical fruits
north of the Caloosahatchee river-First,
on account of the inexhaustible fertility
underlaid with shell mari Astounding in
phoSphates. Second, immunity from frost
on account of the large bodies of water on
the north and west for many miles. The
murderOuS freeze of 1885 did not kill down
the wild trees in this lOcalitv as the large
stocks plainly indicate, and the freeze OF
1876 did not injure the most tender leaf OF
the Lime. On account of this oranges can
be permitted to remain on the trees until
March or April, thereby insuring higher
price than if compelled to seek market,
earlier. while the strength of the soil in
sures full annual crop of fruit. Third,
safe aud sure transportation via the With
lacoochee to Cedar Key, q distance of so
miles and, ere long, the Railroad from
Waldo to Tampa will pass through or near
these lands.
AS home. this region is desirable, on
account OF healthfulness and of the great
abundance of game and fish. 1t is also one
of the best stock ranges in the State. The
land is high and rolling and the soil is well
adapted to truck farming.

in raising half-breed stock from COM

q description of the animals so pro-
duced, it is thought that they would

An astute political student reports
the discovery that General Grant is
an out-and-out foreigner and must re-
main such for term of years to come.
The argument adduced is to the eff
feet that when given the freedom
of the city of London, and other
cities in England, he took the oath
of allegiance to those corporations
and signed certain charters which
inevitably makes him subject of tho
Queen, even against his will. If the
point be we'll taken, the circumstan-
ces present novel case indeed.
