FROM SPRING GARDEN.
SPRING GARDEN. Fla, May, IS

SPRING GARDEN, Fla, May, 1878.
Mr.. EDIroR:-Localite items at Spring Gar
den are not numerous or brilliant.
The warm weather and business engage
ments have taken several of orr winter
residents North.
Mr. F. w. Lyman. wife and Two sons
were the first to leave, but had accom-
plished much while here; having cleared,
fenced. plowed and fortified five acres,
and put out four hundred orange trees Oh
the same, and built nice and comfortable
two story house. They are pleased with
Florida, and expect to return early in the
fall.
Major Norris, wife and daughter were
the next to leave. He also had been very
busy during the winter, building his large
boarding house and hotel; his large grove,
now coming into bearing claiming por-
tiou of his attention. He sold twelve or
fifteen parcels of land to various Northern
parties the past winter.
Mr.. C. Delano's wife. son and two friends
left week ago. Mr.. Delano is still here
enduring singleness-th think not blessedness
preparing to enlarge his grove of ten
acres. Mr.. Neff and wife also left some
ten days ago.
Mr.. B. F. Haines will remain some two
months yet. looking after his beautiful
twenty-five acre grove OF 1000 trees. then
viii go North.
Mr.. Isaac Stone leaves next week, bis
brave wife remaining some longer, their
large grove of about LOO trees requiring
some oversight. Mr.. Stone has not had
much leisure during the past winter, as,
besides looking after his own extensive
grove, aud preparing to add five acres more
to it. be has had in charge the preparation
of planting twelve new groves, embracing
some sixty acres, containing nearly five
tlonsand orange trees. Mr.. VIM. A. Cook

Pine Apple Culture.

There are so many people interes-
ted in this subject, especially in the
southern part of the State, that we
have deferred entering on it for a
week or two, to enable them to send
us their subscription AS we will
only print limited number of extra
copies, those who require a complete
file should lose no time in subscribing.

4 CABD.A-There was such "a large .aesL
enthusiastic gathering at the picnic on
Lake Jackson last Friday, and as all seemed
to enjoy it vastly, not only through the
day, bur far into the small hours of the
beautiful moonlight night. it is proposed
to have another, on the first Saturday of
next month, to meet during the forenoon
at the house of Mr.. Baker. All are cordi-
ally invited, but don't forget your baskets
and provender, as well rs your hooks and
lines for the fine fishing. SPORTSMAN.

County Fairs.

We attended the Central Florida
District Fair recently held at Gaines
vile, and was much pleased to wit
ness the exhibit made. Great credit
is due to those who were instrumental
in getting it up, and making the Fair
success. The display of vegetables
was first class, and the stock exhib-
tied shows the adaptability of the
State for the industry. Many of the
sheep, cattle, horses and pigs would
have drawn attention at some of the
Northern meetings Blocks of our
native woods polished, to show the
beauty of the coloring were an inter
esting feature, and must at some
s.Gss..:ze. is..ss sa;aa an industry that has
not vet received the attention of cap
italists, but we think will tend to add
to our wealth. 1t is too late in the
day for us to enter into particulars
of the articles exhibited, as they have
already been described in other State
papers. Columbia county is now
agitating Fair at Lake City, and
there is 10 doubt that they will have
good one.
The Orange county papers are ad-
vocating the holding of a County Fair
in Orange county, but no progress
appears to have been made in getting
it up. Why should not Volusia coun-
ty Join in and assist her sister county
in the effort? There are enterprising
people enough in the two counties to
make it grand success. Let there
be a fair at Sanford in July next. -
Will the Orange county people APP
point a near day when all can meet
and organize and go to work ? 1t
will enable the new settlers to behold
what progress has been made in the
growing of summer fruits, such as
grapes, peaches, plums, &C., &C., and
to make acquaintanceship for mutual
benefit. They should go still further
in this enterprise, and we suggest the
holding of grand "South Florida"
fair next winter, say two weeks be-
fore the State fair, where articles cred
table to be exhibited at the State
lair can be selected. The whole of
South Florida, from the Atlantic to
the Gulf, should make an appearance
at this fair. People from Brevard,
Hillsborough and Manatee can come
to it in their covered wagons, and
camp out, and bring along articles to
be exhibited. At that time of the
year it will be an agreeable manner
of travelling, and one that entails
little expense; it is at the time of the
year, also, when there is not much
work on the farm. There are men
in plenty who own property in South
Florida that are we'll off in this
worlds goods, and who we are sure
