/ H. s. Kedney, Of Orange county, is
certainly successful rs m agriculturist
As IN experiment he ordered three kinds
of seed from New York seed house and
planted one-quarter of an acre Of pine
Land, enriching it with one sack of gu&no.
The seed were red Weathersfeld, silver
skin and Burmuda or red Italian, all three
of which produced large fine onions.
From the one-quarter acre he gathered
seyenty-five bushels of onions, and sold
almost the entire crop at home for three
dollars per bushel, which footed up would
make total of two hundred and twenty
FIVE dollars. At that rate, nine hundred
dollars per acre. This shows the produc-
tiveness of Florida soil when properly
worked and slightly stimulated. Energy
and well-directed work can accomplish
wonders.-S0ntord Journal
"A few days ago a party of several
near Benton went on q "drive for deer.
About twelve o'clock they came to Peo-
pies Bridge on the Suwannee and, being
warm and much fatigued, they concluded
to take bath. The party, consisting Of
about eight, Invested themselves Of cloth
ing and enjoyed swim. As most of the
party were employing themselves in dress
ing, young man named Nixon cried out,
Boys, must have one last SWIM" and
plunged into the stream. AS he reached
the middle he cried for help to his COM
panions, and they looked to behold him
held by the right shoulder in the mouth
of an enormous alligator The monster
sank with him, reappearing some two or
three minutes later upon the surface with
Nixon still in his jaws. Nixon cried to
his companions to shoot, but before gun
could be discharged he sank again, taking
Nixon under with him About two min
utes after he arose again and made for the
opposite shore, still having the Inflated
young man in his enormous mouth. Again
Nixon called upon his companions to
shoot, but, being afraid of hitting Nixon,
no one discharged his gun. The alliga-
tor crept some half dozen feet upon the
opposite bank, remaining about three
minutes, when, guided by sudden i'm
pulse, he plunged with his precious bur-
den into the river again, and, reaching
the middle, sank to rise no more within
the view of the party. A thorough search
was made, but nought could be seen of
the body or parts of body of the unfortu-
nate young man. The presumption is that
the alligator made for his lair, which
probably was near at hand.-Lake City
