Mahlon Gore. Of the Orange County Re-
I porter, is working up an interest In the
/ approaching exhibition. His ideas and
suggestions are that each county repre-
/ sented have a tent of its own, large
enough to hold all the exhibits which
may be gotten up, and to have the name
Of the county painted on the tent, so that
every county will get the credit and beBe-
ft of its own product. There are many
advantages in this method, the greatest
! Of which is to save the expense of an eX-
position building; then, the tents can be
used for years at different places, for the
same purpose.

! Vinant always healthy boy,
about two months ago bacame afflicted

very snort time every symptom OF gallop-

every description were prolusely admin

one fine morning last week, in fit of ex-

sandspuf which was then remembered

welcome appearance aud which, in Its

| the cause having been removed. the boy
regained his usual health and spirits.

| Settle presiding, argument of counsel in
/ the case OF the Guarantee Trust and
Safe Deposit Company against the West
! ern Railway Company of Florida, (tor-

reserved it's decision. This action is

Large and increasing quantities of fer
| tilizer, are annually brought to Pensaco-
la for sale and distribution in the States
south Of the Ohio river and in the terri
tory west OF the ChattahoOehee and east
of the Mississippi. The Louisville and
Nashville railroad receives and stores the
fertilizers at this point, shipping it inland
| on the orders received from the dealers
and agents located in the interior.
There is now en- route to Pensa-
cola and due the present month, one
cargo of German kaInit OF 800 tons from
! Ham burg, three cargoes OF superphos-
pilates, aggregatIng 300 tons from Liy-
erpoOl and London, and two cargoes OF
salt from Liverpool. This trade is in its
first stages of development, and will,
when fully matured, result in the estab-
iishment at Pensacola of large fertilizer
manufactures that will utilize refuse fish
aud other material in combination with
the chemicals and materials now i'm
ported from other places.
Several years ago when little towns
first began springing up in Florida like
magic, a number OF Palatka gentlemen
formed company and purchased large
body of land near Reddick, where they
proposed to build up q thriving little in
land city. They went so far as to lay the
tract of into lots, gave the town an APP
proprlate name, cleared eff small piece
OF land and erected little building about
SX10 feet in size, and here they sat down
and waited Tor the rush OF purchasers
in search of the very desirable
| lots offered for sale. But the rush did
not come. The brush fence rotted and fell
| to the level of the ground. The little
! OF season after season, until it became
weather-beaten and as disreputable - to
! appearances AS tramp, ard stlll the city
| did not grow, and the song Of the birds
! by day and the lonesome hO0t of the owls
! at night were not displaced by the busy
| hum of commercial lie, and to all
| appearances the place was last de-
| generating to its original state.
| Alas for the hopes OF men! A family
/ OF negroes living a mile or SO away from
| the uudeveloped city, having use for an
clubhouse. drove their cart over into the
| very heart OF the city, and by main force
and with malice aforethought, lifted the
| building bodily from the ground, put it
! on the cart and hauled it to their own
/ premises, where it is being used tor the
! benefit OF the family. This was not pa
! per town. Not a line OF advertising mat
ter was even printed about it, hence It's
| untlmely demise, and the confisca-
! ton Of its chief and only public building.
