Orlando Sentinel: Work on the En-
terprise and Titusvile railroad is to be-

sho,els, spades, wheelbarrows, &c, are

Nassau County Record: 1t is esti-
mated that 1000 families have settled in
| Florida during the past winter. The
ma or portion of these new corners, from
what can be ascertained, are of class
| possessed of means sufficient to improve
the property purchased by them and to
live comfortably. They are generally in
telligent, moral and progressive. 80.
Freight conducker Parker, of the Transit
road, fell out of his car on Wednesday
morning while the train was running
with rapid speed. The accident hap
pened nine miles west of Fernandina
and the injured man was carried back to
! Fernandina for medical attention. His
injuries were quite serious though not
considered dangerous. Those witchery
laden critters-Oh, these blessed school
girls What streams Of rapture run
through the hearts of our young men as
they gaze in those bright eyes-dreamy
with drowsy splendor; soft cheeks-rosy
with delicate tinting; sweet mouths
ripping with rills of laughter; warm
hearts-pulsing with loves throbbing
and--and-well that's all.
Tampa Tribune: The Tampa L,lm
Der Co. has made contract to ship f:
schooner load of lumber to Boston -
$50, 900 feet or more. This is the frs
shipment of lumber ever made from
Tampa to a Northern port, and it is due
solely to the Tribune, the firm having
seen the card Of the Tampa Lumber Co
in its columns. Some person or persons
last Sunday afternoon set fire to the
woods over in the eastern end Of town
and for while the flames threatened t(
do great deal of damage, but, as it was
| it only scorched few cOons, roasted
some snakes and run out lot of rabbits
and hogs. One big buck rabbit stepped
on live coal and jumped about sixteen
feet. These fires are getting to be rather
monotonous. They do no good and may
result in great harm. Only last Friday
there was a similar fire in the northern
part of town, which came near burning
up lot of fence and damaging several
orange groves. 1t required the most
heroic effort to save them.
Orlando Reporter: Shipments of veg.
etable by the Il. o. Il A. r. r., are pro
| crossing lively. From Victora station
lone 1920 crates were shipped during
the last week in April and about 1000
crates the first three days in the present
month. These are mostly from the Lake
Apopka region are picked up by the
steamer Apopka and hauled across by
teams from Blue Point to the railroad.
This arrangement will no doubt prove
more satisfactory to shippers than the
lengthy transit by teams heretofore ne
cessary to reach other points of shipment
49,. We believe the City Council did a
wise thing when it purchased the chemi-
cal fire engines which have been here on
trial. The sale was consummatcd last
week in the shape of three notes of $40
This has been the first actual step towards
the organization of a fire department and
will make good nucleus around which
a perfect system can be built The en-
gines were ordered to be turned over to
the fire company, and the Orlando fire
department is ready for the next fire, but
we hope that the time will be long before
the engines will be used in case of neces-
sity.
-Brooksville Register: The work of
laying the iron on the Plant Investment
Co.'S. X. X. south from Pemberton's Ferry
is progressing at the rate Of a mile per
day. They have now completed some six
miles. The cutting of the right of
way and grading on the line between
Brooksville and Pemberton's Ferry is
progressing finely. Several camps have
been established along the line during the
week, and the prospects are that the COM
pany will have the entire route cut
through by the 18th I'VE understand
that it is the intention of the company to
push the work and complete the same
long before the time specified in their con-
tract with the Brooksville Railway Assoc
citation, and that they will have by the
18th of this month 800 hands at work
on the line. The Silver Spring and
Gulf Railroad will make bid for the sup
port of this town. We understand that
officers of this road will visit this place
during next week for the purpose of find
ing out how much aid they may expect
