and on entering the grounds there
were seen two Caoe'adish bananas
planted out which were weighed
down with the large bunchesof fruit.
This was the work OF, Capt. Sirrine,l

hibit was under shed outside OF the
building and was most creditable to
the county. Such huge cabbages,

apples, loquats, Japan persimmons,
strawberries, anda very large Japan

tied by Col. Whitner. Our people
should pay some attention to this
fruit which we consider would be-
a valuable one to cultivate. Some
of the oranges were excellent, so
were the grapefruit, bananas and
citrons We were much pleased to
see such fine specimens Of pine-apples,
of two varieties viz: the sugar loaf
and red Spanish. Strawberries ex-
hibited in pots were superb. 3
:. In the other departments were
samples of grain, different kinds sugar
cane and sugar, arrowroot and cas-
sava starches made by Mr.. Sinclair
at his new factory in Orlando. Some
good samples Of carving in furniture
and rustic work. slSjC jas
There were SO many things of in-
terest that space will not allow us TO
note them all, and we will revert to
them from time to time. The ex.
hibit of poultry was unusually fine
comprising almost every known va.
1ety and breed. There were also
some good horses and pigs.

Who Is Mrs. yYinslOw !.


As this question is frequently asked, we
will simply say that she is a lady who for up
wards of thirty years has untiringly devoted
her time and talents Is female physician
and nurse, principally among children. She
has especially studied the constitution and
wants of this numerous class, and, as re-
suit of this effort and practical know ledge,
obtained in a lifetime spent as nurse and ply
stefan, she has compounded Soothing Syrup
for children teething. 1t operates like magic
giving rest and health, and is moreover.
sure to regulate the bowels. In consequence
of this article, Mrs. Winslow is becoming
wOrld-renOwned as a benefactor of her race !:
children certainly do RISE UP and bless her !;
especially is this the case in this city. Vast
quantities of the Soothing Syrup are DAILY
sold and used here. We think Mrs. Wins
low has immOrtalized her name by this in
valuable article, and we sincerely believe
thousands of children have been saved from
an early grave by its timely use, and that
millions yet unborn will share its benefits,
and unite in calling her blessed. No MOTH
Err has discharged her duty to her suffering
little one, in our opinion, until she has given
it the benefit of MIS-. WinslOw's Soothing
Syrup. Try it. mothers-TRY 1T Now.-La-
