On Saturday last the citizens OF De-
Land aud vicinity were addressed by the
Gen. j. J. Finley aud Hon. Charles
Daugherty. The distinguished party
were expected in the morning but did
not put in an appearance until near P.
NJ, as the steamer was delayed some
hours. Quite number assembled in
the school room to hear the veteran Cen
erals able and eloquent speech which
was listened to with marked interest and
met with a good deal of applause. Before
closing he addressed the ladies present in
few appropriate words. On the Gen.
taking his seat the Hon. G. Daugherty
came to the front amid great applause
and delivered very good speech some
portions of which brought down the
house. Col. Broome was then called on
to say few words which he did in
most pleasant manner. The chairman.
Judge Lowry, of Beresford, proposed
three cheers for General Finley, which is
needless to say was responded to with
right good will, and the audience then
dispersed. The meeting throughout was
an entire success and passed off without
the slightest hitch.

of this country, even the production
of wheat Is being stimulated in that
country. While we IN the event of
war, would have our supply of essen
tial articles cut of. Hitherto all
tropical and semi-tropical products
introduced in the Southern States
have been by the enterprise of pri-
vate parties. This is national bust
ness and one that should be fostered
by national aid. We can render our
selves independent of other countries
for our supply OF commodities in
which we are deficient, for in Florida
State within our borders we have
a climate that can make good all
we require. The State is being set.
tied up by an intelligent class of peo-
pie much above the average. They
would willingly turn their attention
to the culture of many valuable pro-
ducts, but at present are ignorant of
the means to procure seeds and plants
and knowledge of their cultivation.
1t will he the object of those in
charge of the Gardens to disseminate
this information and give every plant
"a fair trial, to find out those that we
can succeed in. Almost every tors
eign country and dependencies have
gardens OF this description, which
have done vast amount OF good to
the inhabitants and a grand and rich
country like this shonld have one
worthy OF its Importance. An orange
grove in connection with the Gardens
would in few years render public
aid unnecessary as the product OF the
grove would pay the expenses. A
large income could also be derived
by selling the plants which would be
readily purchased.

Editor Of The FtOrfda 1gricultwist:
l observe thatIyou invite your sub
scribers to "writb up" their own sec
tions. Well, d shall take you at
your word and make small racket
in behalf OF tllrtlportion of St. Johns
county lying along the river Whilst
not all of the lands are adapted to
the growth OF the orange, large por-
tions OF it are and we have many
fine young GROVES just come into
bearing, while inI the region lmmed-
lately back of Pikoata and Hogarth's
landing there are some of the largest
and most productive trees in the
State. Between the mouth of Six
Mile Creek and Old Picolata there
are sixteen groves, all with but two,
or perhaps three, exceptions having
over one thousand trees each, and
one OF two thousand. Besides these
there is on almost every place small
groves of from fifty to two hundred
trees. Thus, you will perceive, we
are making quite some pretense at
orange growing. As farming coun>
try claim for this section high
place as to merit. Corn, rice, sugar,
and sweet potatoes claim the attent>
ion Of all who pretent 10 be farmers,
while all points along the river where
there are means of transportation are
becoming rapidly devoted to vege-
tables. To such an extent has this
local traffic increased within the
last two years, that it has been found
necessary TO build steamer to meet
its requirements. The steamer is
now on the stocks at Picolata and
will be ready to open business with
the orange crop if not sooner. She
will be seventy feet long, twenty feet
beam and stern wheeler. She will
navigate Six>Mils and Front creek.
Julington aud Black creeks; in fact
will go anywhere ON water after the
almighty dollar.
So you will perceive, we are really
alive. We have hood cheap lands in
abundance. Tlr are fancy lands at
high figures torsl Use who must have
the best going AN there are lands
at low prices, boix State lands and
lands OF private individuals, good
enough tor any ore; we'll adapted TO

before and purchased land and built
thereon a handsome residence.
On Mr.. Tays' arrival be purchased a
lot in DeLand anCkbuilt a neat cottage,
and in few days e and his family en-
tered theirn new hog NJ and looked forward
to many long aud Happy years. III this
they were to be isadly disappointed.
Mrs. Tays for TIM enjoyed fair health,
but nine days before her death she pre-
sentedher husband with another son and
in her weakened state this trial brought
on u fever and at last she died of ex-
haustion.
Mrs. Tays was good woman and was
ever ready to help the needy, and en-
courage those who were struggling to
do right. She was member of the M.
E. church, and expressed her perfect
Witness to die. She often spoke of the
bright home ready for her above, and her
only regret was the parting from her
husband and little children.
Mr.. Tays has the sympathy of all
Gus citizens, and deserves words of en-
enlargement in his efforts to he both
mother and father to the innocent child
rem now depending solely on him. We
hope that he will remain with us and
keep his little family united, remember
ing that in few years his daughter will
be able to manage household affairs, and
in spite of the present hopeless feelings
of his heart Goo will in our good time
give him Il pleasant home where the
society of his children will be contin-

SECOND EDITION



One night Of ten destroys a whole life,
The leaksge OF the night keeps the day
forever empty. Night Is sin's harvest
ing time.
More sin and crime are committed IN
one night than In all the days of the
week. This is more impraetically true of
the city than of tue country. The street
lamps, like file of soldiers with torch
in hand, stretch away in long lines on
either sidewalk, the gay colOIed trans
paTencles are ablaze with attractions |:
the SALOONS and billiard halls are bril-.
lianlly Illuminated music sends forth
ITS enchsntment the gay company be-
gin TO gather to the hauOts aud houses
and gardens of pleasure; the gambling
dens are afame with palatlal splendor
the theatres are wide open; the mills
OF destruction are grinding health, hon
or, happiness, and hope out of thous-
ands OF lives. The city under the gas
light is not the same as under Gods
sunlight. The allurements and perlls
and pitfalls OF night are q hundred told
deeper and darker and more destructive.
Night life in our cities is dark prob
lem, whose gloomy depths and abysses
aud ~hirlpools make us start back with
horror. Att night long tears are fall
ing, bl0od is streaming.
"fhey that sleep, sleep in the night
they that be drunken are drunken In the
night. Bot let as who are of the day
ba sober, putting on the breast-plate Of
iaith aud love, and for aR helmet the
hope of saivstion." Tbess. V, 7, 4.
