A Bili Of Exceptions Flied In the
Case Of Norton vs.. shelby
County.

A bill of exceptions was filed today in
the United States Court by Extein Nor
ton in the case of Norton vs. the County
of Shelby, suit to compel the payment Of
bonds issued by the Barbour Lewis Com
.m~issioners to aid in building the M. q o.
railroad, The bill is simply a history of
tho case, which is already familiar, and the
intention in filing ii is to bring the matter
before the United States Supreme Court.
The County Court refused to levy a tax
to pay the bonds sometime since. and
when the case was carried before Judge
Stanley Matthews, Norton was again de-
feated.
The County Court claims that the Bar
bour Lewis Commissioners were not a
legal body, Iwhile the representative of the
railroad argues that the county afterward
ratified the action of these bogus commits
sioners by levying a tax to pay the interest
on the bonds issued by them. The county
comes back with the plea that an utterly
null and void proceeding cannot be rati-
fed by any subsequent proceeding, and so
the mill grinds on.

Florida Letter.

A recent letter from Tampa, Florida, to

of immigration is setting in, and land
which sold before for five dollars, is now
worth fifty to one hundred dollars. There
are few desirable homesteads left, and
most of the State lands in that section
have been bought up by other parties who
do not care to sell now, but are holding
on in expectation Of big prices. The i'm.
migrants include people from all over the
United States, but principally from the
East. They are nearly all pretty well
fixed financially and seem to be perfectly
satisfied from the readiness with which
they invest. A railroad is being rapidly
pushed along the Gulf coast, with a branch
to Tampa, and terminating at Charlotte
Arbor, two or three hundred miles further
down. Oranges are worth from one to

buy prefer to pull them and prevent
