Mrs. J. Q. Boatwright, living four miles south
of Tallahassee. was in the city on Saturday with
four pounds of silk cocoons. Those who are
familiar with the industry say they were rs fine
as they ever saw. Three years ago . friend in
Germany sent Mrs. Boatwright o number Of
eggs, from which she raised 800 worms. Now
she has lot of cocoons and large number of
eggs for sale. She is well pleased with her expert
ment, and says the work Of caring for the worms
is quite light and pleasant, requiring very little
time and attention.
3Mrs. Boatwright has not yet succeeded in hnd-
ing purchaser for her cocoons. but she will
write to the Woman's Silk Culture Association,
of Philadelphia, for information upon the sub
ject, and we hope she may find sale for them at
remunerative figures, and thus be encouraged TO
continue the industry, which was extensively en-
gagged in years ago in Leon county, when many
were successful cultivators and made the indus
try profitable

Lake jackson route because of apparently in.
surmountable obstacles which prevented the con.
tinuance Of the line BY that route They left town
again this morning, accompanied by Judge Byrd
TO investigate Lake Miccosukie region, through
which they expect to locate the road II the route
is deemed feasible We learn that the people Of
Thomasville are manifesting much interest In
the building Of the road which promises such de.
cided advantages to that enterprising town, with
its rapidly increasing industries and great influx
Of Northern residents and winter visitors. Its
superior railroad facilities and advantages has
enabled our sister city 10 lead in the past few
years, but there Is a good time coming" fol
this place, and that good time will date with the
completion of the Thomasville, Tallahassee and
Gulf Railroad We are hopeful, and believe We
already see the dawn Of brighter days.
