county, and almost exactly in the centre
| of the
Great Orange Belt.
This place is about twenty-five miles

We have daily mails, three general mer-

railroad from our Landing via DeLand to

prices.
For the information of invalids we will
add that, several good physicians are set

CHATTANOOGA, March IA. G.. Smith,
receiver Of materials for government works
at the Muscle Shoals canal, was robbed OF
5000 on Friday, while proceeding
from the bank at Florence, where
he drew the money, to the chief camp
on the canal. He had proceeded about
twenty miles, when he was suddenly con-
fronted by three men, who pointed pistols
at him and commanded him to throw up
his arms. They then disarmed him and re-
lfeved him of all the government money in
his possession, leaving, however, his watch
and twenty-one dollars of his private funds
After taking the money they forced Smith
to accompany them through a dense
woods for twenty miles and there left him.
He made his way back to the camp, reach
ing it on Saturday at noon, having searched
for it through the woods for nearly twenty
four hours. The men told him they had
been lurking In that neighborhood since
Christmas to commit the robbery, No eff
forts will be spared to effect their arrest.
