Orange Groves and Settlements.
LAWTEY

LA W AL
From Our Travelling Correspondent.
Lawtey is wide.awake town, on
the Atlantic, Gulf and West India
Transit Railroad, sixty-seven miles
from Fernandina, which takes its
name from the Lawtey family resid.
ing here. Mr.. Lawtey is one of the
first settlers and business men of the
place, though he is not now doing
business here, but formerly carried
on an extensive turpentine business.
The land about the station appears
to be low, though not wet, but on
walking off short distance from the
track, on the east side, gradual rise
in the surface of the country can be
discovered. An efficient system of
draining now carries off the surplus
water in dry time, and could those
ill-tated Chicagoans see the place
which they left, two years ago, dis
gusted and heart-sick, they would
hardly believe their eyes.
The coming of the Chicago colony
to Florida, and their subsequent
troubles, were directly the result of
the excitement created and kept
ablaze by newspapers, hand-books, and
agents, never stopping in their praise
of the State, within the bounds of
veracity.
1t is with the object of bringing
more clearly to their mind the evil Of
beguiling poor men with families
away from their homes, only to meet
with suffering and loss, that we again
remind the public of the failure of
the first colony here, and contrast
that failure with the successful
growth which has been quietly going
on for the last two years.
ORANGE GROVES.
On the heels of the last retreating
'olonists came Mr.;E. G. Hill, shrewd,

cessfully grown. He commenced op-
erations two years ago on wild, sour,
pine land, and has to-day 1000 fine
looking young trees-sweet seedlings
with the exception of 200 budded.
A grove of 500 of these seedlings set
in rows forty feet apart and four feet
apart in the rows, planted among the
pine trees, looks as well as any grove
of its size we have yet seen. He also
has 200 lemon trees and fifty grape
fruit. He is experimenting five
groves Tor as many different men in
the North, who think of some day
coming to Florida to live. The gen
tlemen are: S. A. Bailey who has
twenty-five acres and 1000 sweet
seedlings five years old; G. Matti-
son, forty acres, 800 trees; D. Hutch
eson, twenty acres, 800 trees; G..
Christensen, forty cles, 800 trees !;
William Richardson, twenty acres,
800 trees. These gentlemen are all
of st. Louis. He also has charge of
forty acres, 200 trees, for Mr.. VIM.
c. Magill, of Chicago, and forty
acres, 1000 trees, for Mr. Lewis w.
Sayles, OF Michigan. All the above
groves are looking well. Lawtey
now has $4,000 orange trees set out.
Others settled about the same time
as Mr.. Hill, buying land and ditching
One year ago Col. V. J. Shipman be.
gan work on seven acres of new land,
where now he has erected a fine resi-.
dence. This lot fronts on the rail-
road 200 feet from the track, very
pleasant site, and commands a good
view of the town. Mr.. Shipman has
put quantity of muck and stable ma
nure on this land. His trees, set out
last January, are in excellent condi.
ton considering the time they have
had. They are in rows thirty-two
feet apart, and sixteen feet apart in
the row. They consist of $50 sweet
seedlings seven to eight years old ;
100, two years from bud; 100, three
years from bud, set out in September
last; 600 sweet seedlings, four and
five years old; 5000 sweet seedlings
in nursery, one year old.
He is also trying peaches, plums,
the pie.plant, etc. The pine trees are
allowed to stand in the grove as a
protection from frost in the winter.
This is a practice seldom seen among

HOUSEHOLD HINTS.

A plentiful supply of mint will drive away
rats.
Gelatine put into fruit jellies causes them
to moln.
Never leave food about a sick room if you
don't wish to disgust the patient with every
thing.
A piece of charcoal, to be changed occa-
sionally, should be kept in every refrigerator
a purifier.
If there is wet or unsightly place that can
never be made to look well, choose that spot
for your ferns.
Milk, butter and all strongly favored edi-
bles should be covered if kept in a refrigerator
to prevent the absorption of the fayors by
the former.
One blossom allowed to mature or go to
seed Injuries the plant more than a dozen new
buds. Cut all your flowers before they begin
to fade.
Never serve bcef-tea or broth with the small:
est particle of fat or grease on the surface
Whitley brown paper laid on the broth will
absorb the greasy particles

Abuot the Farm.

The interval between harvest and fall plow-
ing and corn-cutting can be well filled in with
profitable employment on the farm, in attend
ing to the small things that are overlooked
while more important matters were on hand
The persimmon and sassafras sprouts that
have shot up all over the field and meadow
should be cut down Just below the surface OF
the ground and there will be no more trouble
from them this year. The jamestown weeds
that have grown up rank and high around the
stable, hug-peu and back yard and the nu-
merous varieties of weeds in the meadows that
neither cows, hogs nor sheep will eat should
be DESTROYED before the seeds mature and are
scattered all over the farm.

Medical Properties of the Lemon.

Since the regular arrival of vessels in
the larger cities with tropical fruit, the
supply of these luxuries has become i'm
mense of late, and, in fact, they are
plenty all the year through, and prices
are now within the reach of all. Lem
ons, especially, are valuable through the
heated term. and formerly sold at from
six to fifteen cents apiece, when scarce.
Now the best quality Of fruit can be
purchased at twenty-five cents per doz-
en-, and in the winter season, nearly all
the time, ut from two to five cents
apiece.
In reference to the virtues of the lem
on, an eminent physician has this to
say: Lemon juice is the best anti
scorbutic remedy known. 1t not only
cures the disease, but prevents it.
Sailors make a daily use Of it for this
purpose. advise every one to rub
their gums with lemon Juice. to
keep them in health. The hands and
nails are also kept clean, white, soft
and supple by the daily use of lemon in
stead of soap. 1t also prevents chill
blains. Lemon is used in intermittent
fevers mixed with strong, hot, black
coffee, without sugar. Neuralgia NAV
be cured by rubbing the part affected
with a cut lemon. 1t is valuable
also to cure warts and to destroy
dandruf' on the head by rubbing
the roots of the hair with it. In fact
its uses are manifold, and the more we
employ it externally the better we shall
find ourselves. Natural remedies are
the best, and nature is our best doctor,
if we would only listen to it. Decided
ly rub your hands, head and gums with
lemon, and drink lemonade in prefer
ence to all other liquids.

Symptoms Of a Diseased Liver.

DAM in the right side, under the
L edge of the ribs, increases on pres
sure; sometimes the pain Is in the left
side; the patient is rarely able to lie
on the left side; sometimes the pain is
felt under the shoulder blade, and it
frequently extends to the top of the
shoulder, and is sometimes mistaken
for rheumatism in the arm. The
stomach is affected with loss of appe-
tite and sickness the bowels in gen
eral are CostIve, sometimes alternative
with lax; the head is troubled with
pain, accompanied with a dull heavy
sensation in the back part. g There is
generally a considerable loss of mem
DRY, accompanied with a painful SEN
sation of having left undone some
thing which ought to have been done.
A slight, dry cough is sometimes an
attendant The patient complains of
WEAKNESS and debility; he is easily
startled, his feet are cold or burning,
and he complains of prickly sensa-
ton of the skin; his spirits are low;
and although he is satisfied that exer-
else would be beneficial to him, yet
he can scarcely summon up fortitude
enough to try it. In fact, he distrustS
every remedy. Several of the above
symptoms attend the disease, but cases
have occurred where few of them ex-
listed, yet examination of the body,
after death, has shown the LIVER to
have been extensively deranged.
AGUE AND FEVER.
DR.. c. MCLANE's LIVER PILLS, IN
CASES OF AGUE AND FEVER, when
taken with Quinine, are productive of
the most happy results. No better
cathartic can be used, preparatory to,
or after taking Quinine. We would
advise all who are afflicted with this
disease to give them a FAIR TRIAL.
For all bilious arrangements, and as
a simple purgative, they are unequaled.
