same kind. Is it so, or did we dream it?
-. We have in our Office full ripe Or
ange, a three-fourths grown green one,
small green one and bloom, all OF which
were taken from the same tree at the
same time, from the grove Of Postmaster
Stanley. This particular tree bears con-
tinuously year after wear. Why cannot
a variety Of this kind be cultivated so
that we can have oranges from the tree
the year round -. Captain T. A Biv-
ems is recognizing the Hillsborough
Greys, military company at Plant City.
We also learn that Fort Meade has about
organized. All right, boys, go ahead.
We are anxious to have somebody come

Die. The Barlow Rifles expect to be the
champions, YOU know.
-Leesburg Commercial: The trustees
of the Methodist College, at their meeting
Monday. elected Prot Callawav, of Mar
vim College, Kentucky, to the presidency
of that institution. Prof. Hollngsworth
declined reelection because his phvsi
clan advised against further work in the
school room. We shall greatly regret to
loose Prof Hollingsworth, who is a model
Christian gentlemen and an able educator,
but We understand that he has worry
successor in Prof Galloway. John. c.
Love has had an artesian we'll ninety feet
deep bored on his place on the hill south
east of the Methodist College. AT that
depth he has secured abundance Of pure
water, which be proposes utilizing both
for drinking and irrigation purposes. A
pair Of small crawfsh were thrown out
OF the well; they were white in color and
without eyes, and the question arises,
how did they get there: The well was
bored BIZ X. II. Edmiston, of Gardenis.
-kissimmee Leader: Sometime ago
We had an item regarding Ex-Mayor
Hughey's young grove, which deluged
him with so many letters making addi-
tional inquiries that he threatened to
charge Us up with the postage, and if
that wouldn't do he would get even with
us some other way. Now that he has
gone into the dry goods business he pro-
ceeded to carry his threat into execution
the other day by catching all the dogs
he could and tying an advertisement of
Sears & Hughev's store around their

trick; but we presume they want TO try
all kinds Of advertising and our readers
will hear from them later, if not in this
issue Here is an item that may test
the credulity of some, but il is fact and
can be sustained If there are any unbe-
levers. Harry Artman bought Wy
audOtte cock and hen, of the Burpee
stock, and from the proceeds Of that pair
Of fowls, in one year, his sales amounted
TO $3.50, and he gave away four. Erv.
johnson bought the last Of his stock and
if Erv. does half as we'll as Harry did,
with the start he's got he'll be million
aire in short time. Mr.. +. {. Hall,
after spending considerable time in thor
oughly looking over California, has been
putting in the past three weeks with
headquarters at the Tropical, inspecting
the soil, advantages and resources Of this
section. As one result Of this inspection,
Mr.. Hall has purchased the fine place Of
T. q. Bassett, of IS acres ,ad joning the St.
Cloud plantation, and is still on the out
look for other pieces Of reclaimed land.
Mr.. Hall will put bis entire tract into SUI
gar cane this fall, and if he finds other
pieces to suit him there is no telling
where his Improvements may end. We
extend to Mr. Hall a cordial welcome,
and wish every forty acre tract Of our
rich lands was in the possession Of equally
active, energetic men.
Orlando Reporter: The weather we
are having now is simply magnificent !;
the cool, clear days are followed by
balmy, restful nights, and refreshing
showers fall at intervals To add to the
comfort and pleasure Of life, the far
reaching perfume Of the orange trees
hangs IN the air, reminding one of early
spring. O, it is worth while to spend
summer in Florida The tract of land
recently accepted by the county commits
sioners Of Orange county for poor farm,
consists Of ninety-ive acres of beautiful
ground lying near Whitner's Point, on
Lake Conway. The price paid was about
forty-two dollars per acre, which was very
low considering the quality. The further
movements Of the Board in the matter
are not known. Orange county truck
growers are ust now receiving returns
for their vegetable shipments. These
come in the shape of drafts and checks
on Eastern banks Nat Poyntz, Of the

his bank is cashing about two thousand
dollars Of these checks per day And
yet there are plenty of people who are
constantly putting themselves on record
with the assertion that Florida raises no.
thing but oranges and board bills.
| Count up what you are paying for house
rent and the sum which this item will
reach in FIVE years. Then count the cost
Of carrying five or ten shares of Building
and Loan Association stock, and see how
much better it would be to take the stock
and secure home of your own. The
man who has home of his own is a bet
ter man and more desirable citizen than
he who is content to spend his days in a
rented cottage. Henry Ditmar, who
has charge OF the big pumps Of the Or

pumping 100000 gallons daily Last
winter the daily supply was $4,000 gal.
Ions. The large increase is caused main
ly by street sprinkling, which is carried
on quite extensively at present, nearly
every business house on the principal
streets having its own hose. The full ca.
pacity of the pump is 100000 gallons
every twenty-four hours.
