A Question of rrespass.
The lengthiest case in the Police
Court this forenoon involved a ques-
ton of tresspass. On the grounds
lately occupied by the Southern Oil
Mills is a quantity of decayed cotton
seed, upon which several gardeners
have had a longing eye. A few days
since a couple of them, Mike Sullivan
and Dan Callahan, loaded their wagons
with the manure, and started to drive
of, when they were stopped by Sam
Nichols, who had been left there in
charge by Mr.. j. H. Chichester. Cal
ahan and Sullivan paid no heed to the
but he was plncky and stood
his ground. A three cornered fight
then took place, at which juncturc
Sergeant Kunholz arrived and arrest
ed them all. The East was tried this
forenoon before Squire Quigley, who
took the matter under consideration.

Mr. J. T. Chastain, of Townsville, recently
sent some specimens of this fruit TO Col. Henry
ID. Welsh, a promenent fruit-grower of Philade-
phia, who submitted il to the Committee on
Fru, of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society,
which committee made the following report
thereon
PENNSYLVANIA HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY,",
HORTICULTURAL HALL, PHITA., Aug, 1881.
A special meeting Of the Committee on Fruit,
of the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, was
called at the office of the President of the Soci-
city on August 10, 1881, for the purpose of ex-
aiming into the merits of u new pear called
"LeCOnte," few specimens of the fruit having
been received by Colonel Henry ID. Welsh from
J. T. Chasan Esq, of Townsville, Ga.
The committee have carefully examined the
specimens exhibited, and reported as follows:
1st Sze-Large, about same as Bartlette
end. Color-Beautiful, bright lemon.
3rd. Skin-Smooth and glossy.
4th Shape-Obovate, oblong, pyriform.
9th. Stem-About one and half inches long,
strong, and set in slight depression.
9th. Calyx-Small and set regularly in an un-
commonly deep basin.
9TH. Quaity-Good, flesh firm, crisp, sub-acid,
juicy and slightly granular.
9Th. Ripens-From 10Th TO Both August in
Georgia.
The committee think very favorably of the
specimens presented, and from their bright color,
large size, attractive appearance and good quail
ity, the new pear will probably prove an acqui-
sitiOn 10 fruit-grOwers.

Below We give tabulated comparative state
ment Of the recapitulation of the Assessment
Rolls of Leon county for the years 1880 and
1881, which will be of much interest to the read
crs of the FLoRDTAN.
II will be seen that the number of polls as
sessed is rather larger than last year, although
far below what it should be In view of the fact
that at tile last general election Leon county
polled total vote of 1927. The discrepancy is
doubtless due TO the fact that by far the larger
number of qualified voters " of the county own
no propertEs and are therefore beyond the reach
Of the taxing officers.
The total number Of acres of land assessed for
taxation this year is 1 ,854 less than last year.
What has become Of the deficit? The number of
acres Of improved lands assessed this year Is
1898 moro than last year, significant fact, indi-
cative of progress and growth.
The number of horses asses and mules assessed
this year ID 81 less than last year, the number of
neat and stock cattle. 4S3 more; the number of
sheep and goats, IA less, and the number OF hogs,
1916 less than last year
The assessed valuation of all real property Is
327 482 more than last year; that Of NIL personal
property e406 more than last year and The total
valuation la both, 81, $50 more than laai year.
AS yet We have heard OF no complaints against
the assessments made, and if there have been
any before the Board Of County Commissi1ncrs,

The vines are planted about 80 or 50 feet

25 acres
Col. Martins wine cellar is large and COM

held over 500 gallons each. Every thing about
the place is neat and trim. Modern-bu barn,
sheds with stalls for stock, also others for storage

Col. Martin says the wine business pays its
