sample brought us measures four feet in
length and is of very fine fibre. As an
article of industry the jute is said to be
very profitable, as the crop comes in i'm
mediately after the cotton crop is gathered,
and while it is not in the way of raising q
cotton crop it pays much better than cot
ton.
Columbus (Ga) Enquirer San, 10th
inst: " The steamer Caddo Belle brought
up the first Florida oranges of the crop of
1923 last night. She brought eight
barrels and seventeen boxes. They were
raised on the lower river, but we failed to
learn who the consignors were. This is
several days earlier than the first were
received last year."
Mariana Courier. "There is moth
ing in which man could so proftably
invest his money as in a hotel at Mariana.
The amount of travel to our town is simply
immense for place of its size and large
commodius hotel could command it ALL
If no one man has sufficient means to erect
this building joint stock company should
be formed and the hotel put up"
Lake City Reporter: "The sweet
potato crop is very fine, and the average
by far the largest ever planted in this
county. One thing should not be per-
mitted by the farmers, viz: the planting
of different varieties in the same field.
Nearly all the potatoes grown here are
hybrids; such are inferior to the distinct
varieties. The best always command
good price"
The Jacksonville Union of the Cpd
says: " Visitors and settlers have already
commenced to arrive i'll this city in large
numbers. Scarcely train arrives with
ont a number of strangers, and frequently
as many as fifty or sixty arrive on a single
train. The hotels and boarding houses
are all well filled, some of them finding it
difficult to accommodate the guests Soon
our large winter hotels will be booming"
-Palatka Herald 10th i: Con Friday
last there were present at the Finley re-
ceptiOn the MintOn brothers, numbering
nine-all voters. Among the Minton
connection there are thirty-six voters, all
Democrats. If there is any other county
in the State that can beat this we would

brothers is six feet high"
- Helena correspondent Sumterville
Times: A fig cutting inserted in my
grounds last February yielded crop of
ripe figs in August. Is not that prod
ICY? A sprout from the cutting of
LeCOnte pear came out Of the ground in
March last and in August it measured ten
feet, then cut off four inches at the top
to stop its skyward tendency Trees have
nothing to do but to grow at Helena"
-Palatka Herald: "Palatka, no doubt,
has one of the best organized political
clubs in the State. OF course it is Dem
ocratic and will WELD powerful infu-
ence. Our leaders are wide awake and
feel the responsibility that rests upon
them. No pains or expense will prevent
them from carrying the war into Africa
Defeat is not contemplated, it is not in
the vocabulary. This club, and all clubs
are expected to come up TO the full meas
ure of their several duties, and will do it,
The expense of keeping up the organiza-
ton will require some sacrifice. No as
>essment will be made, but every man,
every patriotic citizen looking to the tri-
umph of good government, will feel it to
be not only a duty, but a privilege, to
sustain the party by every means in their
power. The people of this country have
had enough Of carpet-bag rule Will the
humiliation and degradation of the dark
days of Republican rule in this State and
the South be forgotten? No never God
God help us when we forget we owe to
our homes and country. Let no personal
consideration prevent us from doing our
duty"
