Among the southern outrages, we
have not yet noticed the growing of

G. B. Crump, one OF Madison coun-
tvs thriving colored citizens who
has bough t place and owns several
horses, number of cows, and raises
his own meat, brought into our Office
on Thursday, three long cotton
blooms. This is quite early tor such.
He informs us that there are num-
Der OF other blooms in his field and
says there are any quantity of squares
in it. Church assures us that the diff.
terent crops in his neighborhood are
dong splendidly-MddiS0n Record

Florida mahogany, or as it is COM
monty called red-bay, inlaid with
curl pine, makes very handsome fur
niture. We saw some bed room sets,
the other day, that were manuiac-
Tired in this place, which would be
suited to the most tastefully finished
bed room. We refrain from calling
the name OF the manufacturer OF
these handsome articles of furniture,
least we may give otfense as he may
want it kept secret that he has them,
otherwise he would ADVERTISE
Tampa Guardian.
Can any one tell us who owns the
large black dog that follows apromi-
nent gentleman so assiduously around
town? A lew evenings since the
gentleman, accompanied by the dog,
was standing engaged In converse
ton before the Post Office; the dog
coming near, some one was about TO
kick him, when a bystander remarked
Don't kick that dog" he belongs to
the next Governor of Florida. The
way in which the "colored gemmie"
around laughed caused one to think
they had no faith in the saying.
Whose dog was it st. Johns
Weekly.
There has been more truck for
warded from this point already this
season than we believed would be
grown. Notwithstanding the reverses
the gardeners have suffered, they ap-
pear TO hope for better luck and con.
time to plant. The price OF beans
has been fair this spring, and thou
sands OF bushels from this point
have gone to market. The season
for shipping is nearly over, OWING to
the dry weather-Lahc City Re
porter.
This has been remarkably bad
sprirg tor the farmers. The rotten
cotton seed occasloned by the wet
weather during last fall, has caused
poor stands, and the very dry weather
Since planting has prevented much
that was good from sprouting and
has killed much that had come up.
From what we gather from those
who have seen and know the condi-
ton OF the fields there is but one
third as much cotton growing as
would have been had the year been
tayorable.-Luk,e CHQ Reporter.
