Really some steps ought to be taken
for meeting fire when the emergency
arises. Now it is a case of penny wise
and pound foolish. A fire breaking out
here in the present state of affairs would
be a dire calamity, as there is not the
slightest means of preventing its spread,
and the destruction OF the town would
be inevitable. See that something is
done, and that right early.
Bottom touched sometime since, and
prices now tend upwards. On Corn the

Still we are selling the same at the as
tonishing low figure of $1.75 per sack,

Good vegetables and beautiful flow.
ers cannot be grown from inferior Seeds.
If our readers would procure the best
they should purchase only those grown
and put up by old established and re-
liable parties. D. M. Ferry & Co, of
Detre it, Mich, whose advertisement ap-
pears in our columns, have been in the
Seed business for 27 years, and we believe
are as well and as favorably known as
any house in their business III he Unite /
States. Their trade extends to every
hamlet in the country, and they pride
themselves in sending out only the very
best of all varieties of Seeds. We
would advise all purchasers to procure
their catalogue before buying.
The Concert by the Florida Glee Club

to the AIRED and well-selected pro-
gramme of fifteen numbers without the
slightest WEAKNESS, and in numerous
instances gave evidence of decided APP
proval. The performers did more than
furnish a good entertain N ent; they
treated their hearers to some OF the
"elegancies of the profession which
were the fruits of patient study and
genuine musical cultivation. Yes, the
concert was more than good, it was very
good, and it is easy to predict, from its
character and management prosperous
career for the Glee Club. We wish
them all success.
