Pensacola Gazette: ''Very few Of our citizens
appreciate the extent of the Louisville and
Nashville Improvements in our city. The con-
tract 10 repair and extend the company's old
wharf was $30,000,g not including 5000 for
buildings The paid S25 900 for the Muscogee
wharf, and the contract TO rebuild it anlounrs
to $4,000, with $4,000 for warehouses on the
same. A joint passenger depot is to be built
on the hfll in conjunction with the Pensacola
aud Atlantic Road, with gas, wash rooms. wa
ter closets and town clock, costing S15,t0
or more. These figures are ABSOLUTELY correct,
and show an expenditure in our city by this
crushing monopoly OF S152, 500, allowing that
they pay one half the cost Of the union depot
The creOSOted piles used in the company's
wharf improvements are indestructible by the
teredO worm or decay, and cost from eight to
ten dollars each. Is there citizen in our midst
illiberal enough to doubt the interest the Lou
isville and Nashville feels in Pensacola Such
expenditures mean business and will add TO
Pensacola's steady growth Superintendent Z
Q. Saltmarsh is watching all the points and is
Grising the work with skill and eLergy."

and so he is. But in Florida 81 900 in money is
realized per acre. There are now in this county
a number of instances where 10000 oranges
will be gathered of of one acre of ground this
season. These oranges will net the owners at
least SIS per 1,C0l. Tuis is an income of over
1O0O per acre. The western farmer does well
to obtain $40 per acre. but the Florida orange
growers do better to obtain $1,000 per acre"
Under the caption Railroad Lands the
Mariana Courier saws: 1--WE have seen letter
from Captain W. d. Chipey in reference to
the railroad lands. from which we gather the
following: The company will place its lands
upon the market as rapidly as the titles are
RECEIVED The object of the company will be
to pOpuiste its line and bring immigration into
Florida The price asked for these lands will
be reasonable, but cannot n0g be definitely
stated-it will be governed by the demand,
quality and rate at which private lands are
held at the time Of ssle. The company says
Captain Chipley, will certainly deal with the
utmost kindness with any occupants they may
ind upon their lands, and where known to
have been occupants prior to date of the COM
pany's charter they will be given preference in
selling the lands for g reasonable time, say six
months"
