.--Palatka Herald: The cry, every
year, that the orange will overstock the
market, is not credited. Facts show that
the demand in fruit increases each year,
and prices keep up. Our Palatka and
Putnam county growers realized during
the past winter from two to two dollars
ard fifty cents per hundred. These prices
apply to the filing of orders to custom
er' In order to realize the vast changes
that have taken place within the last FIVE
years ust consider the fleet of steamers
that passed and re-passed last winter
loaded down to the guards with freights
and full of passengers. One wonders
what becomes of all the goods and pro-
Visions: shipped up the St. Johns river.
Nd one, unless he takes the time to travel
through the counties of Volusia, Orange,
Sumter, Marion, Putnam and other coun-
ties cam realize the vast improvements
hat hox do
every point of the compass, North, South,
East and West, have settled homesteads,
and form delightful communities.
On the 26th ut. there was row at
Archer, Florida, caused by whiskey.

dan to halt, and gave him warning that
he would fire if he did not deliver himself
W Jordan then opened fire, one of his
shots striking the Marshal in the abdo-
men. Jordan then defed and threatened
to shoot all who approached him. The
Mayor appointed posse to capture him,
but he was killed before they could take
him. 1t is not known who killed him, as
several shots were fired by persons not
idehti6ed. Marshal knight will recover.
Three negroes were arrested for aiding
and abetting Jordan in his riotous acts
and taken to Gainesville, where preim-
inaly investigation was had before Judge
Gardner on the 29th. One of them. Jim
Jonss, was discharged, S. w. Duncan
