Five thousand bushels OF sweet pOta-
toes we're lost IN Taylor county by the
late freeze.
1t has been . severe winter ON potatoes
In Douglas county. Many OF the farmers
report a total loss, others nearly all the
crop ruined,
Reports received at McRae show that
the winter oat crop in that section has
been seriously damaged by the late freeze.
| Some farmers are resolving, while others
are preparing to plant other crops on the
land where oats were sown in the fall.
Douglas county farmers are omplain-
ing considerably Of the damage done the
small grain crop OF that section by the
late freeze. 1t is feared that the oat crop
IS almost a total loss, aud the wheat crop
Is greatly damaged. A patch Ofrye is re-
puted as killed, and this Is regarded as
the hardest OF grain crops.
Rome Courier: The demand for stock
is ON the increase in this city, and trade
has been quite brisk for several days past,
with plenty OF stock on hand to supply
the demand. The prices are as follows
Mules IA to 10 hands high, 500 to 500;
mules, 15l5 to 1851 hands high, 500 to s l25 ;
pug horses and mules $40 to SO; horses
7 $50 To $l25.
Mr.. p. G. Shepherd, OF Taylor county,
killed lew days ago a porker weighing
! 566 pounds net. We do not know the age
! of the hog, but certainly it was the larg-
est killed in Taylor county this season.
Its tusks measured 4 inches in length and
OF a curved shape. MIR. shepherd certainly
deserves the blue ribbon for fine pOrkers.
! Messrs. Pope 81 Beeland have killed per-
maps the largest number Of hogs of any
farmers in the county. They have already
killed abOdt - dne hogs. Two of these
pOrkers weighed 492 and 425. Is averaged
each $50 and 10 averaged each $50 pounds.
| They have yet to Kill more that will av-
erage $50 each. This certainly is a large
amount OF pork to be raised on one farm,
but il simply shows what can be done by
our Georgia farmers. AS to lard, these
gentlemen say they have never raised
such quantity before.
The TalbottOn Nelc Era, in discussing
the question, "Can we raise our meat 2''
says: I'VE maintain and can prove that
pork can be raised in Talbot county at
cost of not exceeding 3 cents per pound,
and there is more money in raising it for
market than there is In cotton at cents.
I'm December, 1884, we moved on our little
farm near town. We bought of T. A.
Freeman sow for which we paid him
$40. On Feb. II, 1885, the SOW brought US
eight pigs, grade Berkshires- of them
died. We turned out two of them for
breeders. On Friday, Jan. s, we killed
the SOW and five shOats and they Melted
us 1000 pounds of pork, worth in this
market, S65. The entire cost Of raising
these shoats and fattening them and the
SOW, including the purchase money of the
sow, did not exceed $50" The examples
OF other farmers are given which are CON

\ Little Romance with Much Truth.

About two years before the war, near q
pretty and substantial residence near a
prosperous little town beautiful young
girl, about II, was sleeping in ham
mock swung from two stately oaks In "A
grove. Sac was a pretty picture Of inuO-
eence and grace, and won the admiration
Of the jpassers. In meadow u the
rear, tat, meek eyed COW reelined in the
-hade, ruminatin0 the food she had gath
cred in tn cool of the morning. But,
what has the COW 10 do with the sleeping
gIrl, is propounded; well, wait and see.
Across the road from the house, the girl
and COW Is a meadow, a branch running
through 1t, and coming up the branch is a
boy with a gun. When in 100 Yards of
the girl, and about 1850 yards from the
COW, bird few up, sailed in the air to-
wards the COW, and the boy fired at the
bird, which flew on unburt, but the
COW received pretty strong dose OF
shot. She Immediately arose In fright,
dashed through the grove, caught the glrl
and hammock on her horns, and rushed
with her shrIcking victim about the lot.
TIE terrified girl became silent and the
crowd of relatives and friends in pursuit,
thought that she was dead. The wild
fury Of the COW as she rushed around soon
tore the netting loose, and the girl dropp-
ed unc0nseiOusly 10 the ground, uuhuTt.
She was picked up and taken in the house,
and on examination, only few minor
bruises were found. The boy. thinking
he was the innocent cause OF the killing
Of the young girl, disappeared. All

that he had persisted by his own hand,
but about siX years after the war, a tray

A remarkable circumstance has devel-
oped in Milton county, % miles from here.
Three men were out looking for stock.
They camped out one night and felled a
tree for fuel. The fall burst open the
trunk, and IN the hollow of the tree was
found a human skeleton. The skeleton
was lying with the head towards the top
Of the tree. and an Old pocketknife was
found in the stump. About the height
OF a mans head there were few indis-
tinct marks in the wood resem bling
letters, and on one side was small
hole about the size of a silver dollar;
both blades of the knife We're broken
off. The bones, knife and chips bearing
the letters were brought 10 Atlanta and
exhibited at police headquarters, where

the story of men who brought in these
relics OF an awful death to some poor
mortal. There are indications that the
skeleton must have been in the tree for
years and years. The poor wretch must
have climbed the tree and slipped into the
hollow to hide-lost his hold and fell TO
the bottom. What Undesirable agony
what untold horror must have been his

A GLANCE BACKWARD.
The Census Returns of Florida for $50
and 1SS5-COrreotinR an Error.

Editor Of the Morning Ne,cS Having
noticed quotations in your paper made
from Jacksonville city directory just
issued in relation to the population, ETC.,
in which 1t is claimed that Jackson
vile and suburbs contains a population
OF 2O,7l2 souls. l would refer you to the
official census returns made by the United
States government for the State of Florida
In 1880, and by the State in 1885. The en-
tire county of Duval, it will be seen, only
contained population of 2l,955 IN 1855,
and outside OF Jacksonville there are
about sixteen post Offices in the county to
be considered, TO eight of which number,
the same publisher of the city directory
gives population of 3,237 people in an
other publication made year ago. You
have great maay appreciative readers
OF your valuable paper in Florida, and |
am one Of that number, and would say
that its Florida columns are always hlled
with the best news pertaining to the state
of Florida. The Savannah MORNING
News unquestionably is paper that mas
a priceless value to the state of Florida
and its individual citizens.
| would therefore like to see It correct
with respect TO this census business. No

A Fox Hunter Falls Into Well and
How He Escapes.
From ne OoLun,6us tGd.) Sun.

From ne OoIun,6us (Gd.) sun.
A gentleman who lives in the eastern
part OF this county tells one of those
stories that few people will believe with
out seeing it," He says that he was out
fox hunting, and when the chase was at
the height OF its excitement his horse
ran into an old we'll thirty feet deep. The
horse WAS instantly killed by the fall, but
the rider was unhurt. The walls OF the
well had caved In at the bottom a dis
lance OF three or four teet, and the gentle
man says this prevented getting out by
digging foothoIds Realizing his situa-
ton, he began to call for heIp at the top
oil his voice, but no assistance came. He
was compelled to remain in the we'll all
night, and the next morning the stencil
| arising from the dead carcass OF the horse
was anything but pleasant, and he noticed
that buzzards were soaring over the spot.
Finally the buzzards began to alight in
the we'll, and 1t was then that bright
idea struck him, He decided TO eaten
the buzzards by the leg "a they came
down until he got a sufficient number to
carry him out. That be did, and when he
caught as many as his hands would hold,
he "Shewed'' at them, and they flew up,
carrying him out OF the we'll.
But still the fox hunter was in diem
ma. Inc bulZards new up 80 rapidly that
he could not turn loose when he reached
the top without falling back in the well.
Upwards the buzzards flew with their
human freight, and the fox hunter began
to despair of his life after all When about
100 yards above the ground the fox huuter
was just about TO let 90 and fall. when he
was struck by another bright idea. lie
decided to loose one bu2zard at time un-
I'll his weight would pull them downward.
Acting upon this plan, he was soon land
ed safely upon the ground.
The gentleman who tells this story tells
il in all seriousness and as though he ac-
tuaily believes 1t true, but it will be colder
day than any We had during the recent
blizzard before he can get anybody else to
believe IL.

The West End.

About one year ago the Second Street
Cable Road was put in operation. The
western terminus was then out in will
derness. A day or two ago a HERALD
reporter who was out in that part OF the
city, noted that for nearly mile beyond
the end of the road the hills are now
dotted with pretty homes. Along the
end of the Temple Street Cable the same
fact is observable. The Improvement
Company have sold out nearly all their
lots in that part of the city. It is the
intention of the Second Street Company
to double track the road at least as far
"A Bunker Hill avenue early next sum-
mer. The writer saw the new dummies
of this line in the car shops. They are
large. handsome and comfortable cars,
equal to any thing in their line in use in
any city. The company has received
advices to the effect that their new
cars are now on the way out
from ST. Louis. They will arrive in a
short time, and then the new cars and
dummies will take their places on the
road. The great increase in travel rem
ders these improvements imperative.
This enterprising concern has made a
very pretty park near the present ter
minus of the road. In this are kept

ton is being continually added to.
There is a sheet of water also in the
park, and great improvements are in
progress. These same people are now
making excavations at the corner of
Second and Fort streets, where they
will erect one of the most beautiful
blocks in the city. The offices of the
company will remove into the ground
