Quincy IIcrdid: Mr. Thomas ID.
Wilson, one of our most esteemed citizens
has voted at every general election that
has taken place in Quincy since the year
of incorporation-ls2S. His vote has al
WAYS been Democratic. Freights on
the Apalachicola and Chattahoochee riv-
ers are very low. 1t only costs ten cents
to get barrel of -four from Columbus,
Ga, to Aspalaga, ia this county, or Bris-
toll, or Apalachicola This is the reason
why all kinds of produce bring a higher
price at any of the river TOWING, than at
Quincy or Tallahassee.
PLANT City Courier: Mr.. i. Is. Col
Inns, of the State Land Office, at Talla-
hassee, returned home this week after
spending several days with his brother,
Mr.. VIM. Collins, OF this place. This was
State, and he is much pleased with the
prospects, and enjoyed his visit very
much. He is the owner of the bird rock
cry near here, which, he tells us, he thinks
of returning to begin operations on be-
fore very long. and there is no doubt that
an immense amount Of guano may be OBJ.
tanned there.
-Palatka Hvala: We have in the
Herald office a bomhShel that was fired
on the town during Tue war by the Yam
kec gun boats, some twenty years ago
1t has a shape like that of a metallic car
fridge and weighs about twenty pounds.
In the pointed end Is rourd hole, and
on the sides are three mortices. This
shell, which has been unnole4ted for
twenty-five years, WIS found in the ruins
of Palatka ust after the great fire in
November last. After going through
this test we suppose ii is not loaded, al
though we do not care to make a ham
mer of it.
= Barlow Express: As one looks
around Barlow and vicinity he is surprised
by number OF new buildings, partly or
wholly completed, the, enliven the land
scape in every direction. A recent connt
gives about fifty new dwellings, erected
since the opening of She railroad about
three months ago. MCBt of them are neat
and attractive cottages, quite number
are of two stories, while Sc, eral are ee-
giant mansions. The good work still con-
times with very bright prospects for
the future as the advantages possessed by
Barlow become better Known.
-Titusvillc Star: The survey corps of
the railroad have reached a point this
side OF the halfway house, on the Enter
prise and Titusville railroad. and the
right of way is being secured, and grad
ing being pushed rs fast as posi-
BILE. The company cannot secure as many
hands AS they wish to work, but In few
days will have large addition to those
already engaged. TIE service Of an
experienced hand in the line of pile
driving has been secured from New
York, and it is thought that this kind of
work can be accomplished at As reasona-
bic figure as throwing rp the bed of
the road
-Ocala Banner: Ocaia had the fourth
romantic marriage last Thursday-the
brave and lovely bride coming ali the
way from Chicago to :meet her lover
They met in Ocala and were made one by
the Rev. Ben Helm and were sent to their
new home at Gambler rejoicing p . AS we
were strolling through the city, pointing
out the many interesting features to
friend from the country, we passed near
the Ocala High School. ''Whs' building
is that 2" asked our unsop.iistcated friend.
"That is where they teach the young
idea to shoot" we replied, aud he inno-
Gently asked, is it a military school ~
We collapsed.
Clear Water Harbor Times. Some
one has sent us copy Of the Florida
Times Union, containing a marked art-
Gle written by a. H. CurtiSs on the Flori-
da Fruit Exhibit at New Orleans. This
article is written in defence Of Commits
sioner Sebring, and we presume the per
son sending the marked copy desired it's
publication in our paper. We, and we
suppose most of our readers, are satisfied
that Gen. Sebring has performed his du-
ties as Commissioner in praise wortby
manner, and as pro6tably for the State
as the limited appropriation would per-
nit, ard the long article to which we re-
fer is not needed to confirm us in the
opinion stated.
Jasper Times: JESSE lIorne's gin
ming establishment fifteen miles south of
Ellaville in Lafayette county was burned
last Saturday. Cause unknown. No
insurance. Loss considerable. Build
ings, gins, seed and shop tools were a
total loss, while the machinery is much
damaged. Mr.. Horne is an old citizen of
Hamilton, hard working, sober, indus
trious man. We sympathize with him
in his loss. He has lots OF pluck and en-
ergy and will rebuild as early as practical
