Happy Homes.

We copy the following sensible article
on the prosperity of those who have
settled in Florida, from the Palatka
Herald:
Sixteen years ago when we first pitched
our tent in Palatka, for a few years we
looked upon the orange business as more
fanciful than practical. But as years
progressed and the evidence accumu-
lated, demonstrating beyond the possi-
bility of doubt that the cultivation of
the orange would be a success, relieved
our mind of all doubt on this subject.
At this date of the progress in fruit
growing we are astonished at the in
crease Of wealth that now enriches the
orange grower, especially among men of
moderate means who came here with
little more than their energy, bone and
sinew, and determination to succeed.
Hundreds have built up for themselves
homes as comfortable and respectable
as you can find anywhere. AS general
thing they have enjoyed good health,
and as an evidence of their condition
they would not change their adopted
home and State for even the old home
stead of their youth. What is said OF
the market being overrun by the increase
of orange groves, and the prices lessened,
may be reasonably expected in time.
But it is well known that the largest
growers that have invested in the bust
ness, calculate that should oranges go
down to half cent esch they can make
forty per cent. on the Investment. Even
as low as this margin is there is more
money in it than can be found outside of
speculations, which are never sure. and
often ruin people who might now be in
dependent if they had turned their at
tention to this lucrative cultivation.
There is no danger in this business, uri-
less it comes from a change in climate,
which is by no means likely to take
place during the lives OF the present or

THE COTTON CROP.
Comparative Statement and Fig
ures from the Department
OF Agriculture.

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10 - The Feb
ruary cotton report OF the depart
ment Of agriculture makes the pro
portion of the crop sent to the mar
ket from plantations on the first OF
February, S94 per cent of the crop,
leaving 104 per cent to be marketed
Virginia, North Carolina, Florida
and Louisiana report 80 per cent;
Texas and Georgia, 81: South Caro-
lima, 90. while Mississippi returns
SO per cent, Alabama 81 and Arkan-
sas and Tennessee So. The average
date OF the close of picking is earlier
than last year by six days in Virgin
Ia, three in North Carolina, three in
South Carolina, one in Georgia, three
in Mississippi, ten in Texas, eight
in Arkansas and ten in Tennessee.
The date is the same as last year In
Florida and Alabama. The average
dates reported are Virginia, Deem
Der, 9Th: North Carolina, November
25th; South Carolina, November

ida, November 30th; Alabama, No

Der Both. From the returns of the
product, compared with last year, an
aggregate crop Of about 1866, 1866
bales is indicated, or about ~ per
cent OF the crop last year, and but
slightly different from the indica
tiohs OF the December report. The
comparison follows by states: Vir-
ginia 80, North Carolina 101, South
Carolina liz, Georgia 10l, Florida
102, Alabama LOG, Mississippi 80,
Louisiana 81, Texas 80, Arkansas SO,

Yell County News.
Darlauelle Post,

There was an old-fashloned twist
around in front OF Blackwel's sa-
loon Tuesday night, which taken IN
connection with the mayors and
magistrates records next morning
shows a net revenue to the county
of about $50.
While Jess and John Aiken were
chopping wood in the Brearley new
ground above town last week, their
saw struck hard substance deep
down in log. They proceeded to
cut it out with an axe, and found o
four ounce fragment of a conicaI
bomb shell. 1t was near the centre
of an Is inch log and doubtless was
imbedded in the tree at the time OF
the battle here in 1868.
The proposed new county takes q
strip from the south side of Logan
consisting of II sections, the lines
thence east the distance OF one
township, thence directly south
passing a mile and quarter west Of
Walnut Tree, thence east few
townships and south again, passing
one mile east of Briggsville and on
down to the Garland county line,
and after turning a corner thence
goes down the Garland county line
to the Base Line, thence west along
the base line through Montgomery
county to point due south of the
starting point, thence north through
Scott county TO the starting point in
Logan county. Gravellv Hill in the
Fourche Valley is about the geo.
graphical center Of this plat. The
petition is being largely signed.
1t appearing at the last term of
the county court that Elk treasurer
Mcclure was behind with the county
and not able to make satisfactory
showing, the court appointed r. Z.
Cole, j. f. Choate and R. j. Wood
ard committee to examine the
treasurer's books and report the
facts ascertained. Though the al
legged shortage has been talked Of
some time this is the first official ac-
ton taken, and, though there is no
occasion for any fears there is nee
essarily considerable talk INDUCED
in. No one suspects that Uncle
"Shy" has made way with the mon
ey, because in the firstplace he could
not do such thing, and in the sec
ond there Is no occasion for it. He
is not only perfectly good for the
amount but has given a gilt-edge
bond. The apparent shortage is be-
tween $4,000 and $4,000, but this, it is
thought, will be reduced by an over
hauling of the books. The general
opinion is, and we have not heard
any other at all, that NJ. Mcclure
has paid out money for which he
has not taken credit. HIS practice
of paying orders just any and every
where that they might be presented,
and only putting the voucher in his
pocket, has been frequently com
mented ON as being too loose man
ner for business Of such lmpor
lance. There is no doubt about its
being all Strengthened up in due
time but we sincerely trust that
Uncle "Shy" Will find that he has
not lost it. Though he can pay it
all and will pay it If 1t takes his
last shingle, it would financially ruin
him and we sincerely trust that such
will not be the case.
