reliance of windy editors.

formed that about three hundred deeds
to the St. Andrews Bay lands have been
recorded up to few days since. :. Prof.

in the world. He is Wilt G to put up its
present crop of fruit, for size and quality
against the fruit of any half.dozen
trees in the county. We saw this tree
in the early spring and it was fairly Gov

hibit bis champion tree.
