they stimulate the digestive organs and
promote vigorous health.
AYERS PILLS have been. known for
more than a quarter of a century, and have
obtained a worldwide reputation for thcir
virtues. They correct diseased action in
the several assimilativc organs of the
body, and are so composed that obstruc-
tions within their range can rarely with.
stand or evade them. Not only do they
cure the everyday complaints of every
body, but also formidable and dangerous
diseases that have bafflcd tho best Of
human skill. While they produce power.
ful effects, they are, Mt the same time, the
safest and best physic for children. BY
their aperient action they gripe much less
than the common purgatives, and never
give pain when the bowels are not innamed
They reach the vital fountains of the blood
and strengthen the system by freeing it
from the elements Of weakness.
Adapted to all ages and conditions in
all climates, containing neither calomcl
nor any deleterious drug, these Pills may
be taken with safety by anybody. Their
sugar-coating preserves them ever fresh.
and makes them pleasant to take; while
being purely vegetable, no harm can arise
from their use in any quantity.

Our New Volume.

With this number we commence
the second volume of the new series
of our paper, and we are pleased to
be able to say, under most favorable
circumstances. New subscribers are
rapidly coming in from all parts OF
the country, and old patrons are fast
renewing their subscriptions, evident
tokens, we can but regard them, of
the appreciation and confidence, with
which the paper is held. We
purpose in every way, to keep it the
first paper of its kind in Florida,
and the country, worthy of the coun-
tenance and support Of not only our
own community and State, but of our
whole country at large, all through
which we are proud to say, our cir
culation extends.

County Commissioners.

We have given considerable space
to the proceedings of the Board of
County Commissioners. We doubt
not, but that they will be interesting
to our Florida readers, as also to our
numerous subscribers, all over the
country. The attention of a vast
number, is directed to this State and
its advantages for the purpose Of in
vestment and settlement, and the pro-
ceedings of our rulers are scrutlnized
with great interest. We are glad to
see that the officials of this county,
are willing to give, and rather court
the utmost publicity to their action,
as is seen in the official report sent us.

they planted the whole five acres in
sugar cane, and in the rows, Irish po-

toes are looking inely, and Messrs.
Sauls and Norwood have already
shipped some 1875 crates of cucum-

they may well challenge northern
farmers to do better.

Die-back and Rust on the Orange.

We commence. in this number, a
report of Professor Taylor on the
above subject. DR.. worthy, to
whom we are indebted for bringing
this subject to the notice Of the De-
partment, deserves the thanks of the
orange growers Of the State. He
has devoted much time and investi ga
ton to the diseases of the orange
tree and given this gratuitously to
the public. There are no cases of
dieback III our immediate vicinity,
but in our late excursion we noticed
some groves which were formerly
some of the most valuable in
the State nearly destroyed by the
disease. The cause was plain to our
practiced eye and We shall be able,
on future occasion, to give our own
views on the cause and the remedy
which appeared plain to us as the
disease is one that can he easily cured.
We are sorry that We have no
means OF portraying the plates quoted
by Professor Taylor, but will exhibit
them at the Citrus fair, wherever
held in the State.

Successful Settlers.

In a former article we alluded to
the success of some men who came
to this State without money and, by
industry, had accumulated valuable
property. Having obtained the sane
ton of some of them to publish their
operations we will commence as an
encouragement to others to go and
do likewise.
Mr.. B. F. Finical came to this
place four years ago, from Louisville
Kentucky, a friend having paid his
passage down. He got employment
by working out and having saved a
sufficient sum homesteaded 100 acres
OF land. He left $500 of debt be-
hind him in Kentucky and his family
whom he was unable to bring. Since
then he has paid off the debt, paid
for the passage of his family, has
twenty acres of land fenced and a
grove of 800 orange trees, some of
them just commencing to bear. He
has also several varieties of grapes;
one Catawba vine, three years old,
has about three hundred punches.
He has pine apples, guavas, straw
berries and other fruit in abundance
and has erected a large, two-story
house 32x42 feet. Flowers of all
kinds surround the house and his
family lis a picture of health. He
raises his own corn, potatoes, pump,
kins, ETC., and almost lives within
himself, as we may say. He has
sold 50 acres of his homestead, hav-
ing committed, and the 80 acres with
the improvements we witnessed are,
at the present moment, worth at
least $4,000. He owes no man any
thing and no man ever sees him loaf
ing about. When he can get employ
ment, he works out and when
he can get no employment outside
he works at home. His neighbor,
Captain Kirk, came here at the same
time with $1.75. He, too, has a COM

at Enterprise on Monday the 9th, his
Honor Judge VIM. Archer Cooke
presiding. An intelligent Grand Ju-
nv was drawn, but they could do lit
tie business, as his Honor, we under
stand, and most of the lawyers had
been summoned to appear as witness
es at the U. S. Court in Jackson
vile, in the election case of Lieut..
Governor Hull. They however rec
commended the levying an additional
two mill tax, which with the two al
lowed by the legislature, will about
if not wholly cover, the economical
expenses of the county government.
Judge Cookies charge to the Grand
Jury, was as usual, clear, forcible and
effective. The Court adjourned

fourth Monday in June.
