"Col. L. A. Hardee has just sold six
thousand five year old orange trees to
Mr.. Eugene S. Vacher, Superintendent
of the Welaka Orange Company, who
have, it is said, 100000 invested in Flor
ida. Their grove is very large one,
covering some $50 acres. The grove was
commenced about year ago" g
Lake City Reporter: g We have eaten
some LeConte pears this week This
fruit perfects well in Columbia county,
and we trust every farmer will make it
a point to have dozen or more trees, at
least, upon his place. The yield is enor-
nous, and the demand in market cannot
well be overrun, consequently the profit
from an orchard will be fiattering"
Tampa Tribune: g Most of the orange
trees in this section have put on second
crop of fruit, which, if there is no disaster,
will give pretty fair crop for the early
summer of next year. Carrying their
fruit uninjured through the winter is one
of the special advantages in orange grow
ing in these southern counties, fact well
worthy of remembrance by those seeking
homes in Florida with view to orange
growing"

Key West Democrat, "Our retiring
postmaster, Hon. j. B. Browne, is one
of Key Vests early and most honored
citizens. He has been called upon to fill
most every position within the gift of the
people of city and county. He has rep
resented us in the Legislature when it
was an honor to be there; he has several
times presided over the city as mayor,
and whatever place he filled, he held it
with honor to himself and credit to his
constituents. AS postmaster he has SER
we'd us well and retires with the universal
respect of the people of this place"
Mariana Courier: "Mr., Frank
Philips brought to our office last week
two of the finest specimens of corn we
have ever see produced in Florida They
came from the plantation of Mr.. Amos
HaU Of ha
ing farmers of the nineteenth century.
We hear that he has $50 acres planted in
corn, all of which will equal these SUI
periOr specimens If we had few more
such farmers as Mr.. Hays, how much
better the financial condition of our
county would be. We will wager Mr. Hays
has not purchased pound of meat since
the war; he is one of the few men who
makes what he consumes.''
Bro Finley, of the Lake City Repor-
ter, says: I" We have been drinking for a
week past tea raised by Rev. Mr.. Fife, of
FOUR county. 1t was prepared by that
gentleman from this seasons growth
To say that the beverage is delicious,
and very different from the stuff we buy
for tea, is stating simple fact. There
is no comparison between the two; those
using the home tea will never desire to
draw tea from the manipulated mass we
purchase for that article. Mr.. Fife has
been resident of this county for six
years, and is fast surrounding himself
with all the comforts of life. 1t has been
demonstrated by several parties that an
excellent article of tea can be grown in our
county with no effort"
