Some New Industries.

The Jacksonville Union has the
following account of new invented
machine by a citizen OF this county ::
'"Mr. John Anderson, of Ormond,
Volusia County, has lett at the Office
of Commissioner French, a pair of
orange shippers, which we think will
be appreciated by orange growers.
In size, shape and appearance, they
look like an ordinary pair of pruning
shears. The popularity is that the
blades are convex, so thai they fit
close to the depression of the stem
end, thus cutting the stem close, an
important point, for if stems are left
long, they brulse oranges in packing.
The shippers are strong, simply made
and easily handled. These shippers
are the invention of Mr.. S. p. Sum-
mers, OF Ormond, practical orange
grower and most ingenious me-

which was adopted:
WHEREAS, The development of
this State is dependent to large de-
gree upon complete and thorough
railway system and
WHEREAS, The lands donated to
the State by the general government
were designed and should be used
tor the development Of all parts OF
the State; and,
WHEREAS, Charters have been
frequently granted to impecunious
adventures, whose sole object in OBJ.
tanning said grants aud charters was

Of the Florida Agricwlturtst:

Editor Of the Florida AgricwHurtSt:
Theresidents of the region adjacent
to the incipient town of "Tangerine,"
which is located two miles northwest
of Zellwood post,ofice, Orange
county, and lies between the beauti-
full lakes Ola and Beauclair, have tor
sometime felt that the merits OF
their region have not been made
public to the extent its intrinsic
worth justifes. This feeling has re-
suited il a call for a meeting of the
citizens to consider the subject of
an association which will aid the in
tending settler to obtain correct
knowledge as to the vacant and other
lands of this locality. The meeting
was held January 22d, at the resi-.
dence of Dudley W. Adams past
Master National Grange P. of
H. amid his thrifty young grove of
thirty acres, situated on the east
shore of the beautiful Beauclajr. r.
j. Wright, OF Lake Ola, was chosen
chairman ard j. II. Foster, of Lake
Walker, was selected as secretary.
Mr.. Adams made a statement as to
the object of the meeting which was
followed by informal remarks by the
majority OF those present. 1t was
then unanimously resolved to form a
Local Development Association.
Messrs. Russ, Marot, and Adams
were appointed as a committee to

The Fruit Growers Association

The Fruit Growers Association.
We reluctantly consented to &C.
cept the presidency of the above So
cietv for the second time, and only
did so in the hopes that our old
friends would rally around us and
place the association on the impor-
tant basis that such an institution
deserves. The adjourned meeting
will be held at Sanford on the 22ud,
aud we urge all old members to at.
tend aud give the new settlers the
results of their experience. All who
are interested in Agriculture are i'll
vited to become members and make
the Society so strong that it will
command respect. What weight
can 1t carry when the meetings are
composed OF halt dozen members ?
Transportation companies and others
will respect the wishes of large and
respectable BODY OF citizens, but pay
little heed to the voice of the few.
In unity there is strength and no
people need that strength more than |
those who have entered IN the Agri.
cultural pursuits ofthis State. Those
who intend to become members and |
those who seek information, should
make notes of whatever they desire
to elucidate. Other members should |
attend with treatises on such subjects
as will be interesting. The meeting
will be held in the stronghold of the
fruit growing country and we would
like so see delegates from every
county in the State ia attendance.
We will endeavor to procure the
services OF shorthand writer that

The State Fair.

Fhe holding of the fair a month
earlier than usual was one Of the rea-
sons that the display of flowers and
fruit proved failure. This was done
to please the hotel keepers who
wanted their establishments filled up.
The severe cold weather previous to
the fair should have been sufficient
reason, it anything, to have delayed
the fair beyond the usual time, at the
end of February.
There wasa fine display of poultry.
The pigs were not as good as on
former occasions.
In agricultural machinery there
was a scant exhibit.
The lady's handiwork and table
luWlries were not as numerous as at
other fairs, although there were some
very nice things.
There was a small lot OF native
wines; the bottles standing like sen
tinels on a bare table.
A. l. Bid well, as usual, had some
handsome pot plants.
The side shows were confined to a
double headed woman. The chief
attractions being the race and mill
tary parade.
We would advise the State Park
Association at the next fair, to pro-
cure large hall in the city in which
to exhibit the products Of the State.
This could be opened in the evening
al small charge of 10 cents, and
that stood IN forests m epocfis Of the

air buildings for the exhibit Of poul.
ry, agricultural implements, and the
OF the Jacksonville mer-
chants. Flenty OF people Woulo at>
end, for the races have attractions |
o many, and the sailing on the river
On fine days, is an agreeable pastime.
Devote the hall in the city to fruit,
flowers, lady's handiwork
and table luxuries. The Association
will make more money this way, and
the show would be more attractive,
as every lady who had pot plant,
would be enabled to show it, and |
strangers would find some occupa- |
ion for the long evenings in study |
ing the display at their leisure. Put

md we will warrants success.
