How Ills Done in Brevard

Frank CONS took has sent to the FaIni-
ly Store of Cap tain Reid an assortment
of fine pineapples from his place at Nal
abar, in Brevard county. He was in Pa
latka for some time, and then sought lei
sure. health and prospective wealth on
Indian River. Here he began in the I'M
broken woods, and took time only to
hunt with us occasionally OF go down to
the inlet for a cargo of oysters. Fish
could be caught at his door, the deer eat
his potato vines, and the ducks were to
be found around the point of Cape Malta
bar bv the hundred. The mosquito bit
him. his dog died. and sometimes he got
out of ammunition or tobacco. But he
put out orange trees and pineapples, went
hunting on Sunday and caught fish
every morning. Within two hours he
could load his tables without expense
with some of our cOstliest delicacies.
And he could cook, too, or we thought
so, at the end of a days tramp through
the lagoons and sand-hills west of the
cape
Now it is all over, and Frank viii get
him a steam yacht, build him a house
with screens to keep out the mosquitoes,
and be able to get his mail onceamonth.
He will call a servant to light his pipe
and make his boys do his fishing For
the pines are in fruit and his orange trees
cover many acres. Often have we slept
with the future millionaire under the
same mosquito bar and laughed in con
cert at the millions who suffered, like
Tantalus, just beyond the reach Of grub

SOME SQUASH STORIES
Some Healthy Yarns on An Innocent
Vegetable.

The big squash at Haughton Bros.
store has excited a great deal of atten-
ton, and developed a commendable
spirit of rivalry among the numerous
people who stopped to see it, as to which
could tell the biggest squash or pumpkin
li-stOry. About nine men of every ten
at first doubted the fact that it was a
squash at all, and We're willing to qualify
that it was only a large sized pumpkin.
The president of the Clabber Club could
not be made to believe there was any
squash about the thing. 4 tell you.
boys" says Eo, this pumpkin reminds
me nightly of Tennessee. We raise
pumpkins as are pumpkins there. There
was pumpkin vine in my county grow
ing on the banks of a little creek about
fifty feet wide. Will you believe it, that
pumpkin vine spread out and reached
across that creek and bore a pumpkin as
big as-welI you may know how big it
across the creek on the vine, eat a hole
in the pumpkin and raised a numerous
family of pigs in the hull"
That was a pretty good pumpkin,
Judge, said Mr.. j. c. Jackson, ''but |
have often seen them in North Carolina
that weighed over four hundred pounds
each, and that's fact"
This little squash. that your stories
make it seem so small, is not to be
sneezed at, although in the northwest
they are grown to twice the size of this
one" said Mr.. Haughton. This 62t
pounds is good enough for Florida"
"Pshaw, that squash is nothing. said
Major Royal" ''Why up in Virginia a
Methodist preacher told me he saw
squash of the same variety as this one
that weighed six hundred pounds. Old
Virginia can't be beat when it comes to
raising vegetables"
Gentlemen" said DR.. Estes, Il have
been out in Kansas, and the way squash
es and pumpkins grow out there is a
caution. [ saw one once that was as big

Honest John.

Mr. MangOld is another one Of our cit
liens from southern Illinois who has long
known John. A. Logan. That an attempt
was made in bis rame to enlist troops for
the confederacy, by his immediate kin
bred, Mr.. Mangold knew. but he also
knows that Logan hurried from Wash
ingtOn and repudiated the whole thing
His wife was a tire-eating secessiOnist
and Tom Logan, a disreputable brother,
would curse John while making his
Union speeches. On one occasion John
declared he could speak no longer unless
the audience would put him out, and
this was most roughly done. Mr.. Man
gold hos known Logan since 1887, re-
members him when he was ''shgbt,awk
ward and spindle-shanked'', and when
his wife was by far the better man of
the two" He has often heard Logan
boast of his descent from the celebrated
Indian Chief Of the same name and be
lieves that with many faults, in the blood
he has at least some Of the virtue of no
nesty and franIness derived from the
same source. His bad grammer is ascrib-
ed to his lack of early opportunities, fol
he was broughtup in the mining town Of
Murfreesboro, at that time one of the
toughest in the West.
Mr.. Mangold is strictly independent il
politics, thoroughly posted i'll current
events, and avows his intention to vote
for Blaine aud Logan in the event
that we nominate war men.
