Drumming for the Florida Trade.


Our wholesale merchants will have a
strong competition this season for the Flori-
da trade. The Charleston Ecs5s and Courier,
noting the return Of the travelling salesman
of Messrs. F. W. Wagner 81 Co, Of that city,
from an extended tour through Western
Florida, where he "met with encouraging
success" says: 'The trade of that section is
well worth cultiyating, and the Wageners
have been doing all they could for some
years to bring the cotton and other Florida
produce TO this msrket- They do larger
business in Florida. perhaps, than any other
Charleston firm, and are persuaded that il
the territory we're well csnvsssed in the in
terest OF Charleston the Advantage to our
cotton factors and produce merchants
would be very great Tue bulk of the Florida
trade has been going to Savannah, but there
is no good reason why 1t should continue o
do So Charleston has the same freight rate 8
70 this section as Savannah, and with all
our other superior advantages there should
be large increase of traffic etween the
Land of Flowers and the City by the
Sea -

hauled him up on terra Jirnsa. The gator
measured ~ feet, and on close examination
it was found had been shot in three places,
over the right eye, In the side and in one OF
the legs. This probably explains the pres
enee OF his 'gatOrship so near the wharf. lie

of an hour she went to his door and

"Albert," she said, come out"
"No, will not" answered the Prince
within. "Come, go away; leave me
alone.'
The royal temper waxed hot at this.
"Sir," she cried, "come out at once (!
