DIR. Kenwbrthy had better retract
his hard words, for Jas. H White, ola
dian river i reported . being ~ crack
shot" At fifteen paces IF anything should
happen, the Doc might find place less
humid than Florida. That is, we think
so. The new revision has unsettled us q
little on that point.-A number of our
readers have re uested as to publish GER
tain of the laws passed and amended by
the last Legislature. As soon aslthe d.
gest is printed, which we understand will
be soon as the printers are at work on it,
we viii begin d r publication. We trust
the next Legislature will authorize the
publication, in the newspapers of the
State, of all the new laws passed and
| amendments of the old ones.-P dLdtkG
Journal
We understand that Col. Allen, the
very efficient ID anager of the J., p. & NJ.
Railroad, says that the Monticello Branch
will be abando ned, the main line of road
road straighten ed and brought by Month
cello. The SOC ner the better, for both the
company and this town.-The Monticello
and Quitman Railroad enterprise is delay
ed by the movements of parties vastly
more interested than the citizens of Mon
ticello and Jefferson county. When they
realize the importance of the road, our
citizens will make prompt response
We are advised that twenty-five or thirty
colored men, principally from the Aucilla
river section of this county, took the train
on Tuesday with the expectation of ac-
quiring wealth and fame in the malarial
swamps of Louisiana They were all
likely laborers. -Moticell0 Constitutions
DR.. 4. H. Mason's pamphlet, descrip-
tive of Orange county, will contain about
twenty-five pages of reading matter, be-
sides advertise ments. 1t is desired that
all the principal towns and settlements in
the county he represented in the adver-
Using pages, written out by those &C
quainted with the history of each locality
All who wish their locality or business
included must forward the manuscripts at
once, as the "copy" will be sent to the
printer in short time. The price for ad-
vertisements is $40 per page; IS for half
page, and 50 for one quarter of page.
Four thousand copies will be printed of
the first issue, and sold to those desiring
them at actual cost. The printing and
binding will be of the best style, and the
whole as creditable to the county as it is
possible to make it in space of time devo-
ted to its preparation.-O Orange City
Times.
We learn that several parties intend
planting fall gardens to supply the local
market. Generally the people of this
community, through the winter months,
depend upon Northern growers for vege-
tables which can be grown at home, and
it is time the change was made There
is no use in bu ying abroad what can be
grown at home.-We understand that the
contract for building the county Jail has
been awarded to Messrs. Thompson &
Hart. We trust that it will be more Sc
cure than the last one. Our Commission
ers will doubtless see to it that it is. A
brick wall foot thick will not alone pre-
vent the escape of prisoners. We do not
remember who built the old jail that was
burned, but it was certainly poor affair
Messrs. Thompson & Hart, the present
contractors, we hope will undoubtedly
construct it as to keep prisoner secure

Mr.. J. L. Inglis, of Madison, and Mr..
G. c. Keathley, of Brooksville, have pur-
chased for themselves and others the Eu-
banks tract Of land near BrooksviIle, in
fernando county. This is the largest
transaction in real estate as yet in Her
nando county. There has been a good
deal of senseless talk about yellow fever
in town this W eek. The people may rest
assured that when there is any danger
from yellow fever that we will not with
hold the facts Until then we hope that
the country people will pay no attention
to the idle rum ors stated in Tampa about
yellow. fever.+Mr. Van Fleet writes us
that full corps of engineers left Jack
sonville on the 9th inst, to meet the corps
surveying the route of the Jacksonville,
Tampa and Key West Railway from this
place. This first corps keep well, and,
we suppose, ID ust be fully half way the
route. Mr.. AN Fleet and General J. B.
Wall, attorney for the company, expect
to arrive here to-day.-Idmpd Tribune
