TRANSFORMATION.

We publish, in this number, the
report OF a meeting held at Lake
George Tor the purpose of devisng
some better system of getting our
products to market. The object is
one that will be cordially supported
by every one having property on the
st. Johns river, for, without direct
and speedy transportation, our fruit
and vegetable crops can never be
made remunerative. The boats, run
ming on the river at present, do their
best for the accommodation Of ship.

Gus and gentlemanly officers, but they
do not act with unity of purpose, and
cannot do so as long as their inter-
ests are at variance. Were there
some receiving houses at Palatka and
Jacksonville, where the whole freight
could be organized and trans.shipped,
the business could be better regu-
lated, but, as at present distributed
among number OF agents, no conf
dence is felt by the shipper in the
proper forwarding of his produce.

they were distinctly marked, but, for
weeks, no trace Of them could be
found; not until six weeks after they
got to their destination, in damaged
condition, having been sent from Sa-
vannah to Baltimore and from there
to Boston and back to New York.
We hope that mass meeting will be
called to meet in Palatka in October
next and take the subject Of trans
portation into consideration with a
unity of purpose and determination
to make it effective. We feel conf
dent that the owners of the river
boats will themselves join in such an
organization, as it will be beneficial to
them.

Advertising Real Estate.

We have SO many inquiries from
all parts of the county in regard to
lands, that we have determined to
make that description of advertising
a speciality, and invite those who
have property for sale, in all parts of
the State, to correspond with us and
learn our terms, which will be made
very reasonable. Small, improved
places are much in demand, and sell
readily. This is the time Of year to
advertise such property, as it gives
parties time to correspond before the
Fall season of work and planting COM

list of such plants are almost mex
haustible; not only OF fruits, but of
grasses, millets, starches, spices,
palms, oil-plants, etc. When the
plants have been propagated a just
and fair partition should be given to
every part of the State, and no better
plan can be adopted than leaving the
selection of those who should receive
them to the members of the Legisla-
ture from each county. They know
better than others who are likely to
take care of the plants, and distrib-
ute the increase to the best advan-

ture in Washington confined itself to
the Introduction of plants and seeds,
giving them fair trial, and then dis
seminating them throughout the Uni.

good than spending the funds in fur
nishing parties with products that
they can procure from any nursery
man. That is not the function OF
such an establishment, and causes a
waste of money that might be applied
to much better advantage. General
LeDuc has tried to make the institu-
ton as benefcialss possible, but it is
hard to overcome the greed of many
