Resumed Shipments Of Oranges Returned Home

Corre4pondence Of the Palataa Neus
FEDERAL PoINT, February 6.
The collector of revenue for this
county, Joseph Price, paid US visit
last week
The shipment of oranges has been re-
sumed. and the fruit will probably go
right along the balance of the season.
j. f. Tenney & Son have brought in a
sample lot of extra fine plows. They
are so far ahead of the ordinary cracker
plow in common use, that we call atten-
ton to them.
Bernard Abel paid US visit last week.
Mr.. Abel is an orange and vegetable
commission dealer in New York
Tillman Atkinson, who has been a
resident of this place for year or two,
returned home last week to Chester, S
c., sick with lung disease. His friend,
William Martindale, went with him.
The political pot viii soon commence
to boil, and this year we will have a
regular chowder in the place of the reg
ulation stew of former years. No
doubt the hearts of many aspirants for
county effiees are ralpitating wit
hopes for nominations and cleo
tons, whose owners will exhaust
their brain power to procure, and a word
in time may be in order Usually the
man who wants office the most is the
least fitted for it. A public office is a
public trust and the incumbent is a SER
want of the people not their masters. A
man who fails to manage his private af-
fairs judiciously can hardly be expected
to make a good public officer. A big
mouth or plenty of ''gas and CAB" may
amuse the rabble but fails to evince tai
ents of more than mediocrity A little
dog viii make more noise than big
one. Matters political are matters OF
business, and our candidates should be
selected with view to their fitness fol-
the positions they will be called to fill
not for their 'sgab or pretended past
services.
Mrs. Susie s. Folsum was thrown
from her wagon Sunday evening, strik

picked up insensible. No bones were
broken however, and she is getting along
as well as can be expected after so bad q
shaking up. @

The Lake Weir Chautauqua last year
was visited by thousands and none re-
turned disappointed. Beside the good 1T
did the many who attended it, the whole
State was benefited, as it secured the
attention of Prof Richard A. Proctor to
the merits of the State and led him to
resolve to be a resident of this land of
clear skies and balmy weather. The
programme this year promises to be as
broad and interesting as was that of last
spring and the success of the managers,
doubtless, will be even greater than it
