Perhaps II Great Discover,

1t frequently happens that after
long research and many scientific
experiments some simple means will

would be worth hundred, of thous.
ands of dollars to Florida. Refrig.
orator warehouses have been recon-.
mcndcd, preseryative compounds
have been suggested, but the great
want has remained.
We met upon the train the other
day our whllom citizen. X. W.
Smith, Esq, and he placed in our
hands an orange IN perfect condition
which, he said, was picked more
than four months ago, AMI before
the great freeze, and had been pre-.
served by simply being placed IN
dry sand covered from the air and it,
the open weather. He stated that a
cOlort,l man in Bradford county had
been IN the habit of successfully pre-.
serving the fruit every year in this
manner until April and May. The
simple process used was the familiar
one oi preserving sweet potatoes,
a dry spot being selected and a
quantity of dry sand procured and
the orange, were spread out in lay.
ers, each layer thoroughly covered
with sand, aud then another LAYER,
and So on, diminishing in size until
a cover was formed. The orange
given us by Mr.. Smith was sound,

flavor.
Now, can it he that the negro has
solved the question for us Of pre-
serving the orange We do not need
anything but dry sand to accomp.

to import that in Florida. We have
heard of this plan before, but it ls SO
simple that its very simplicity dis.
paragcd it, but like many an other
important discovery, the only thing
strange about it is that it has not
been tried before. We hope it will
be throughout the mex, winter.

This clothing that our
workpeople have made so

and the little money it takes

1t was the response we
looked for alter our gener-

perlence customers have had
in how long and true Oak

send along more work tc

earned money.

on Sunday night. He was In the act Of
getting ready to go TO the train when
he complained of pain In the region
Of his heart. At the time he was putting
on his coat, and with another exclarna.
tion Of pain rested his arm en- the sofa,
ard his wife reached him just In time
to prevent his falling ON the floor.
Drs. bravo and Patterson were sum.
moned at once, but life was extinct be-
fore they arrived, and it IL thought that
