the editorials correspondence, book reviews, scien
ttc matter, lectures, literary mscelIaney, etc., for
which The Tribune is famous. Like The Weekly
it contains sixteen pages, and is in convenient forn
for binding,

thirty miles long, running southeast /;
and from five to nine miles wide,

ask space for word or two in
regard to Volusia and its neighbor.
hood. AT Volusia there are three
stores, all doing well. L. NJ. Eldrich
has recently erected a steam gin,
which promises to the place, benefit
ing both the merchant and the cotton
grower. Here, too, are several
young groves, most of which are
bearing. Three miles out of Volusla
we come to the "Orauge Bell" Here
are several groves. l will pass on to
the young groves Of J. L. Beese. He
commenced clearing laud on the 18th
Of July, 1878. He prepared the land
himself and is was no small job. He
has forty acres fenced with a good
log fence and has in grove 1874
trees, Of this number 1,4O0 are bud
ded, $50 for himself, the balance tor
other parties. In addition TO the
young groves Mr.. Beese bought, a
year ago. the place known as the
Cashing place, which joins his other
land. Next We come to the Arcadian
Grove, owned by L. f. Drudy; a
fine grove of several hundred trees,
some few bearing. Mr.. Drudy has
charge of several young groves be-
longing to other parties. MIR. Drudy
will sell land to parties desiring to
purchase and employ him to make
groves. l say happy is the man that
has the money to have his grove
made Tor him, when he can get such
men as J. L. Beese and L. f. Drudy.
In this neighborhood Mrs. Elridge's
homestead is situated, on a beautiful
lake one mile long and one.halt a
mile wide. In short time much has
been done; a young grove started
besides ornamental shrubs. We next
come to Piersonville, settlement OF
noble hearted Syedes. Here are
several young groves just coming
into bearing. The owners will get
titles for their homestead next spring
and will sell land to any one desir-
ing it. l Will say to any one desir-
ing to settle here, we extend hearty
welcome. Ournew settlers are much
pleased with the county.
