however, that we knock off over a cool million

This half-truth is to all intents falsehood,

saving of 81, 236, 685, or more than million

In Florida many grove owners accepted the

where almost all the trees are of young growth,
the. whole culture having been killed out no
longer ago than 1880, the weather had clean
sweep, and except in protected spots the trees
were killed. The truck farmers lost everything.
The profits from this industry during the past
few years have been so large that a great deal
of money had been invested in it. Although the
risk is great, winter crop is usually attempted,
because the reward i'll case of success is large.

A number of our capitalists have under
consideration the formation of land and
building company, for the purpose of buying
land and erecting cottages for annual and
summer renters. 1t is designed to build
comfortable and neat houses in a certain por-
ton of the city, where the houses can be sup
piled with gas and water. The matter is being
considered by men who can furnish the ne
cessary means, and who foresee in it a great
improvement to the town. There is every
reason why such an undertaking is soon to
prove success, and with the conveniences of
gas and water, and the prospect of our streets
being paved or macadamized, our city can
offer to the business men of Baltimore and
elsewhere such inducements as no other point
along the railroad within a short run of Balti-
more can offer. This will give employment
to large amount of labor, and add consider
able to the assessable property in our midst.
