An Old Citizen Returns.
FROM tho Gainesville Fla.) Neics.


Mr.. Caleb Higeinbotham, the first per-
son born in Gainesville, called at the
NetcS office yesterday. Mr.. HlgginbOtham
Is about go years of age, is an interesting
conversationalist, and is a well pre-
served specimen of Florida production.
He Informs us that he purchased all the
land upon which the tiourishing city Of
Gainesville IS now located for 80
cents an acre, which, at the time
OF the purchase, was considered q
high price; he says the land was sold at
auction, and that he paid &c. or l0c. an
acre more than he would have paid in
consequence of the fact that another real
estate dealer wanted the ground, and be-
ing man of foresight and nerve he bid
until the eXtraVagant price of zoe. per
acre was reached. The average
price for good land in those
times being zoe. per acre, it was
thought by many that the sum paid
by Mr.. Higginbotham was greater than
the land would ever be sold for again.
But fortunately for MIR. Higginbotham,
real estate, short time after his pur-
chase, took boom, and he disposed of
the land for the unprecedented price of
6Oc. per acre, thus realizing "A hand
some per cent. Being possessed Of a
snug sum OF money, Mr.. Higginbotham
removed from Gainesville to Levy
county, where lands could be pLr 'hased
at reasonable rates. He has since re-
sided in Levy county, not having ven
tured beyond its limits until n few days
ago. He was, of course, greatly surprised
AT the changed condition of affairs since
he disposed of his interest in Gainesville.
Much of the land in this city is now
worth $1,000 per acre, and real estate
cannot be purchased In any desirable To-
cation for less than several hundred dol
lars per acre. What was formerly a
plantation" is now the most populous IN
land city of the State. MI. Higginbotham
is on his way, as he says, to the est.
Johns river country" We had but few
moments conversation with him. When
he returns he promises to furnish us with
some Interesting facts connected with the
early settlement OF the ArredOndo grant.

TO be trying to get out of debt so as to
make an even start with the new year.
Americas Recorder: If bagging, ties,
picking and ginning would tall in proper
ton to the price of cotton, atarmer might
make a living profit. But those three
items are as high as when cotton brought
1Oc. and 12c. per pound.
Americas RacOrder:. We noticed on the
street recently wagon loaded with
bale of cotton and dozen sacks of shelled
corn. 1t looked liked mixed farming. 1t
used to be that the wagons came in loaded
with cotton and went out loaded with
corn.

of the same.
The building and loan association funds

He Knew How to Ride.

From the Albany (Gd.l Retos.
A tall, gray-haired farmer of Mitchell
county came to town yesterday, riding an
old crippled mule. In the course of the
day he imbibed pretty freely, and became
happy. He traded his mule for an old
brOken-do wn horse. obtaining, as we are
informed. $40 difference. The bride and
saddle were transferred from the mule to
the horse, and the jovial farmer mounted
his newly-acquired steed. The horse was
fractions and refused to go. The old
man put spurs to him, when he
reared and plunged frantically. The
crowd Of bystanders stood in breath
less suspense, expecting every mo-
ment to see the rider hurled to the
ground. They were mistaken. The old
fellow sat on the horse like an Indian, and
deiied his efforts to throw him. The Mar
shall and Officer COwan, who had for some
time observed the scene, approached the
old man and caused MIN to dismount, in
forming him that he was violating a CITY
ordinance and must be quiet. After
few moments pArley the old fellow was
carried to the guardhOuse and locked up.
We hated to see the old man go to the
lookup, for there was really no harm in
him. The scene he made on the streets,
however, justified the conduct of the
officers.

An Unknown Hero.
From the Raristta (Gd.) Journa,

From the Kdrfsttd (Gd.) Journal.
Mr.. Joseph NJ. Brown, general freight
agent of the Western and Atlantic Rail
road, is having Messrs. McClatcby Il
bailey to place the following inscription
on a headstone: San Unknown Hero.
He died for the cause he thought was
right" This headstone is to be placed at
a lonely grave found above Marietta, near
the railroad, supposed to be the grave of
a Confederate soldier. 1t is very credita-
BILE to Mr.. Brown to provide so appropri-
ately this memorial to mark the last rest
ing place of this unknown dead
hero. He was some mothers dar-
hing, aud perhaps when the cruel war
was over she wiped her tear-bedimmed
eyes, and through her spectacles
watched for the coming OF her soldier
boy, but he came not. Still she prayed
and gazed down the road and scanned
the face OfevePy passer by; every foOtstep
that sounded on the walk her eager
ears caught up with expectancy; her
heart beat faster and thrilled with hope;
her eyes kindled with joy; her wrinkled
face lighted up with a smile, and her old
arms, no doubt, involuntarily went out to
clasp to her bosom her darling boy; but
she was doomed to disappointment; it was
her neighbours boy who had returned and
not hers; and sadly she turned back to
DER old arm chair by the window, she
choked down the heart sobs and cleared
away the unbidden tears, and wondered
why her boy did not come. No tidings
came of his whereabouts. She did not
know that the boy whom she saw proudly
leave home in his new suit OF gray, in re-
Spouse to his country's call, at that mo-
ment filled an unknown grave. Perhaps,
after many years of waiting, she too has
gone over the river of death, and with her
BOY, will be shallOwy witness OF the
erection of the headstone to the memory
of can unknown Hero"
