feet higher than the celebrated Orange lake. This lake is only short distance south, and is located right in the midst of the Orange Belt" in country studded with numerous crystal lakes, rich rolling pine lands, without swamps or anything deleterious pertaining to it. It has six mills running by water power and several other factory sites not yet occu- pied and the water running to waste that will doubtless seon sup ply many hands with 8 livelihood ill working up the beautiful woods (which are now burned by the cord to get them out of the way) and other industries. It is stated in print that nearly one half of the oranges raised in Florida are grown within a circle of twenty miles of Hawthorne. We measured an orange tree in the grove of MT. s. B. At kins which measured about 8 foot from the ground six feet and four inches in circumfer- ence. It is said by Mrs. Atkins to be 23 years old and to have yielded a crop of Il, ,O00 oranges.
 In looking up the last years shipments from this little place, we found they had shipped 2, O01 crates ofvegetables, 16, $40 boxes of oranges, besides 531 bales of Sea island or long fibre cotton.
