Mount Olive.

Putnam county is to have q new town
on the Florida Southern railwey, about
three miles this side of Hawthorn, where
a large body of land will be opened up
for settlers. The town is to be called
Mount Olive, and is beautifully located
on what is supposed to be the highest
point of land between Palatka and
Gainesville, in an old settled community
where people have lived and prospered
for forty years. The town plot was
placed on file at the clerks Office ye:ter-
day. 1t is laid out with wide streets,
ami every lot is q corner lot. 4 large
freight depot is to Re erected soon, and
other buildings will be commenced. 1t
may be safe to say that this is one of the
best sections of Putnam county for either
farming or fruit raising, for in this vicin-
ity may be found some of the best orange
groves in the State, and also many valu-
able farms that have been in cultivation
for many years. The country is high.
rolling pine land, underlaid with fine
body of clay, and has always been noted
for health and for good sweet water.
The land is the property OF Mr.. \. Mon
roe, of McMeekin, but the selling of it
is in the hands of j. III. Moore, of Keu-
ks, Fla.

Public Opinion.

The fact of the matter is that both of
the editors of the Times Union and the
Morning Nelrs tell the truth and false
hoods in the ssme breath: for when they
call each other hypocrites and Repub-
licans they tell the ruth, but when they
say they are Democrats and gentlemen
they saw what the community knows
and they know is not so. Mr.. Graves
as a gentleman and a Democrat has
shown his good sense in abandoning a
fight in which there was no glory or
profit; he can well afford to let two such
scamps as Varnum and Jones fight it
out.-PeHSdcolidn.
