SOUTH FLORIDA,
Fresh snaps and New Potatoes
In February.

An extract from a letter from Mr.,
Thomas j. Altman, of Pine Level,
Florida. to a friend in this city, is
given below, and will be found inter
esting:
II shall give my entire attention now
to my orange grove and to vegetable
raising. The latter industry is going
to be u great thing here. 1t is just
getting under good Roadway and will,

thing else. l wish you could see some
of the gardens around Pine Level. |

mile from town, and has one
Of the finest gardens in
this section, consisting of vegetables
in great variety, of which | will only
mention snap beans and Irish pota-
toes. How are they for the middle of
February This has been an unusually
mild winter sven for South Florida
only one light frost, which did little or
no damage to vegetation. When we
consider the many advantages we pos
sess-our fertile soil adopted to the
growth of every variety Of vegetables,
our extensive prairies which Craze
thousands Of cattle and sheep the year
round and seem absolutely inexhausti-
BILE, and above all our genial climate
we are led to the belief that our nat
ural advantages are without a parallel
anywhere; andwhen our want Of trans
portation, which has so long been our
sole impeachment, shall have been
supplied, South Florida will rise
at once to hat dignifed posi-
ton which her natural resources
entitle her. | will now give you a
brief description of this quiet village.

Oharlotte's Harbor and not far from

Grain Elevator.

The new grain elevator vent into
the elevating business last evening for
the first time. A carload of corn.
weighing over q, 900 pounds, was lifted
LOG feet by a belt 2l2 feet long, aud the
grain was dumped into a bin zeal the
top of the structure. Not a kernel
was dropped in the movement, and the
job was a decided success in every re-
spect. The corn was sold by r. B.
Sims & Co. to r. 9. Buchanan & Co
for 74c per bushel, and il now lies in
the elevator the property of the last
named firm.
This afternoon between 2 and 8
o'clock another carload Of corn was
raised and dumped just like the 6rst
named, the operation being witnessed
by numerous parties interested as well
as several invited guests.
The Memphis grain elevator is now
in complete working order, and will be
open to business within q few days.
Its capacity is 200 900 bushels Of
grain.
The tariff rate of charges have moi
yet been fully decided upon, but will
not exceed the elevator charges at st.
Louis and may be ic per bushel less.
The st. Louis tariff is tic per bushel
for the first ten days and Ic for each
ten days thereafter. This includes
moving in and out Of the elevator.

Who Shall Lead the Democracy?

Who Shall Lead the Democracy?
EDITOR LEDGER:--Are you not a
little premature in suggesting the
name Of a leader Of the Democracy in
the proposed re1nion Of the scattered
elements of the party2
1t seems TO me that the order Of
events should be first a basis Of re-
union, fixed by a general committee to
BIO composed in about equal numbers
Of high tax and low tax Democrats.
These are the discordant elements
that must be united to effect a recon
structed aud reunited Democracy.
The next step would be leadership,
and the mar chosen should. be accept
able to the reunited party. This seleo-
ton, like any possible platform basis
Of reuniting, must be made in a spirit
OF compromise, and such compromise
would scarcely consist with the idea
Of reunion, unless the leader chosen
should be some n whose record is in
accord with the platform, and whose
political relations TO tire two elements
are not seriously discordant.
Ii a compromise is practicable
such an one as will bring high and
low tax Democrats together in support
Of any man for Governor-that man
must be some one who would be at
least approximately acceptable TO both
extremes. Aud now that you have
named Governor Marks, allow
me to suggest Judge Sneed, a man
whom all will trust to protect the
honor Of the State and the rights ofthe
people. CITIZEN.

welded TO LAURA.-She was beauti-
full lie loved her devotedly, and happi-
ness seemed to pervade their every act:
Laura's blooming cheeks, dulled her
sparkling eyes, enfeebled her constitu-
ton, emaciated her beautiful form, I'M
strung her delicate nerves and untitled
her for active life. With an aching
heart her husband consulted doctors,
administered their medicines and
talked with friends. Notwithstanding
all this care and attention, there ap
peared no relief for her aching head,
that painful back, that irregular uterine
action and that emaciation. Another
friend called who had seen such sick
ness and at once suggested the use of
DR.. Dromgoole's English Female Bit
tiers, as he had known it to cure similar
cases. Her husband procured it at once
and placed her upon its use. He soon
had the satisfaction of seeing Laura
restored to health again.

We bad light rain on the morning of

A good old fashioned rain is beginning
to be needed, but we are thankful for
the small shower yesterday. The cotton
is doing pretty we'll. SO we must not
complain. | went on a flying trip to
Washington last week. The various
crops of corn near the railroad may be
put down as some good corn, cane and
cotton while much of the same does
not show to good advantage from the
cars.
Washington is nice little city, and
the inhabitants are hospltable and kind
toward strangers, but the day we were
there the place reminded us somewhat
of Goldsmith's deserted village" 1t
may be that everybody had gone to the
various summer resorts. That's the
way we fixed it in our mind anyhow.

Owing to recent complications be-
tween the English and Egyptian gov
Garments, the Egyptians went to work
on the forts and Notifications at the
city of Alexandria, as if preparing for
war. Admiral Seymour OF the English
fleet ordered this work to stop, or he
would lombard the forts. The work
stopped for awhile, but was again re-
sumed; and at 7 o'clock last Tuesday
morning the English fleet began to
lombard the forts, the Egyptians re-
plying with vigor. In a few hours
some of the forts were demolished, and
most OF the guns dismounted, and the
Others silenced. 1t is not known yet if
the war will continue.
