The citizens of North Gainesville have
gone unitedly to work to complete their
hall building, and are making good pro-
gress.
A small colored boy was run over by
cart on Barling's wharf at st. Augustine,
Wednesday, and the small bone of one leg
broken.
Capt S. ]. Fox and Civil Engineer Philip
Prioleau went to Moultrie Wednesday TO
continue the survey and leveling of the East
Coast railroad.
Capt. S. J. Fox, the enterprising mana
ger of the East Coast railway, Ia now Just
getting over a hard tussle with the dengue
at st. Augustine.
Mrs. Ellen Phillips has just completed
and leased for five years handsome six
room cottage on her property south of the
barracks at st. Augustine.
Some of the gas lamps in Jacksonville are
left burning all day. One near J. B. Togni's
place, on Bay street, has not been put out
for two weeks, and many Of them have not
been lighted by night for quite as long a
time.
Ed Allen Of st. Augustine says that
Wednesday the shoalest place found at
high water on the bar was IA feet. The
bar has become perfectly straight and is
improving rapidly. All other portions of
the bar were not less that Is feet.
1t ia said that the boys on the quarantine
line at st. Augustine are peculiarly fond of
pilau: that the chickens in the neighbor-
hood Of the quarantine line have all gone
to safer places, and further that pet rab-
bits form an important item in the delica-
cies on the guards tables.
At Orlando Wednesday morning, at 5
o'clock, fire was discovered in tie upper
story Of the Wallace building on Church
street. There we're five rooms in the upper
story, four of them occupied as sleeping
rooms and one as DIR. T. T. Davis office
The fire was under full way before dis
covered, and pretty well destroyed the sec
ond story. One of the adjoining buildings
was slightly injured, perhaps to the amount
of SIS or 800. The loss on the Wallace
building will be about $500.

few days since. In traversing about
three blocks of State street we we're accosted

II is. II was taking pedestrian tour one
summer, up in the White mountain region;
there were two OF US, we had been t~amping
for about six weeks, and our costumes
looked much the worse for wear. We had
not fully realized this until one evening
when we sought shelter at farm house
We were CURLY refused and our departure
eyed with satisfaction. At our next stop
pipg-place, where we met with the same
reception, the fact dawned ON us that they
took US for genuine tramps. At the next
farm there were dozen cows standing
about in the yard, but when we tried 10

lence, and at last, utterly worn out, we sat
upon a spring-box near the road and filled
up with cold water. Now, cold water is q
joyous, gladstone thing to battle in, or to
partake # in moderation during meal,
but it is a wofully scant substitute for the
meal itself.
"That night we slept in a lonely barn.
In the morning wei held council Of war.

The kind woman's heart softened imme-

PERFECT CLEANLINESS NECES-
SARY
The Best and surest Way to Prevent
Yellow Fever.

Yellow Fever.
Editor Morning Neics:: In your issue of
Tuesday, Oct 9, is an article on yellow
Fever-How it is Propagated and How it
may be Prevented"-by DIR. J. NJ. Hawks
of Lynn, Mass, in which is clearly set forth
the plainest and most rational theory Of the
cause, nature and propagation of yellow
fever that has yet met my observation, or
heretofore been considered. The only point
of difference between DR.. Hawks plan OF
prevention and the one l would propose
would be to ''remoue instead of TO coUer up
with fine, dry, absorbent earth, etc as
suggested by DIR. Hawks, all accumula-
tions Of excrement and filth daily. Let
cities generally encourage, or, il possible,
enforce the use of open-air privies instead
of allowing privy vaults; allow the use of
water closets only where the sewerage is
perfect. Such being the case, there would
be no possibility of retained or decayed ex-
crement, and, according to the theory adj
vanced by DR.. Hawks, there would GER
tsinly be no food for the life and
propagation of the yellow fever
germs. Neither would there be 80
many epidemics Of other symotic diseases
Most certainly, il we can have pure water,
and pure air, our cities on the Atlantic and
Gulf coasts will be exempt from yellow
fever Now, since 1t is so important to
have pure air, would it not be safer, and by
far wiser, to remove all excrement and filth
from cityl Accepting this fact, then, is
it not practicable to carry the excrement
and filth from a city, daily, to some place
where such would be made inoffensive, and
utilized for agricultural purposes? The
cost of such perfect cleanliness would, OF
course, be considerable, but in few years
the health and wealth of places subject to
contagious diseases, would be very much
increased. No sensible man would object
to an extra tax for improving the sanitary
condition of his home. Inasmuch as 'clean-
illness is next to goodness" let physicians
encourage town officers to cooperate with
them in driving such scourges from their
midst. | trust DR.. Hawks opinion viii be
well considered, and if thought to contain
any principle that would lessen the danger
of yellow fever propagation, let proper au-
thorities take hold in due time to save our
cities from further distress from their dread
disease. SIDNEY J. LANIER, NJ. d.

THE DEMOCRATIC ELECTORS.
Men Who Have Been Named by The
Democrats of Georgia are Qualified.
From the Atlanta tGd.) Journal.

democrats OF Georgia are (lualined.
From the Atlanta (Gd.) Journal
Are the democratic electors in Georgia
qualihedl
That is an important question, for If
Georgia elects a man who under the law
cannot be an elector, his vote will be lost,
and Cleveland will suffer to that extent.
Hon. Robert l.. Berner, chairman of the
recent democratic convention, has written
letters To tho democratic electors, asking
such questions as will show whether or not
they are qualified.
In his letter he says:
The following persons are disqualified to
act as electors
l. Members Of the United States Sena te.
2. Members OF the House of Representa-
tives of the United States.
3. Persons who hold any office of trust or
profit under the United States
4. Persons who, having previously taken
oath us a member Of congress, or as an
officer Of the United States, or as a memb Der
If any state legislature, or Us an executi We
or judicial officer of any state, TO support
the constitution of the United States, shall
have engaged in insurrection or rebellions
against the same, or given aid or CO ufort to
the enemies thereof, unless this disability
has been removed by vote OF two-thirds
of each house Of congress.
Do you come under either Of these headsl
1t is also doubtful question whether ma
tional bank directors are eligible and if
you are connected with such an institution,
let me know.
Mr.. Berner has received answers from all
but two of the electors, and they are all
qualified TO serve.
He knows personally the two from whom
he has not heard and is satisfied that there
is nothing that disqualifies them.
SO Georgia is all right. She will elect
her Cleveland electors, and democrats all
over the country may be sure that Georgia
will hold up her end in every way

HOW SOIL WAS MADE.

Professor Agassiz says that all the
materials on which agriculture de-
ponds are decomposed rocks, not so
much rocks that underlie the soil, but
those on the surface and brought
from considerable distances, and
ground to powder by the rasp Of
glaciers. The penetration of water
into the rocks, frost, running water
and baking suns have done something,
but ice vastly more. In a former age
the whole Of the United States was
covered with ice several thousand feet
thick, and this ice moving from north
to south by the attraction Of tropical
warmth, or pressing weight of ice or
now behind: ground the rocks over
which it passed into the paste we call
the soil. These masses Of ice can be
tracked, as surely as the game is
tracked by the hunter. Among the
Alps, glaciers are still in progress.
The stones and rocks ground and
polished by the glaciers a easily be
distinguished from those scratched by
running water. The angular boulders
found in the meadows and terraces
of our rivers not reached by water
can be accounted for in this way

THE FRUIT CROP.
POMONA, n. c., May 4, 1888.

POMONA, N. c., May 4, 1888.
EDITOR PROGRESSIVE FARMER Dear
Sir :-About the 18th of April you
asked my opinion of the prospects Of
the fruit crop in North Carolina. If
I had answered at any time before
April goth, I would have reported a
fair crop of peaches and a good crop
of everything else, except cherries in
a few sections. The prospects were
never better up to April goth; then
winter set in and continued eight or
ten days with frost and ice, for sew
eral mornings. And we would have
had April oath, 1888, repeated if we
had not had cool, dry weather for ten
days previous to that time. In 1878,
if you remember, all vegetation of
tender growth and all fruit was killed.
1t was cooler: this last April than in
April, 1878, but this year everything
was we'll tempered and in a fair con-
dition to stand cold, and consequently
but little vegetation was killed and a
scanty crop Of fruit left. There is a
fair crop Of peaches and plums left in
a few orchards, under favorable cir
cumstances, but the most of them are
