The editor Of the Oviedo Chronicle has
an advertising scheme of magnificent pro-
portions in his head. He says: "We have
just thought of scheme, as Col. Mulberry
Sellers would say, with millions in it, 1t
is to print the brands of our orange growers
on every orange wrapper used for next
season. Basng our calculation on the crop
Of this season, there would be l6,0OO,OO or
anges to wrap for the next crop. just i'm
agine what a grand advertisement it would
be to have this number of oranges scattered
over the United States and England with
every wrapper telling Of the fact that the
oranges were grown at Ovido and Lake
Charm, Fla. 1t would be worth thousands
| of dollars as an advertisement, and attract
the attention of the country to Oviedo as
| the greatest orange center in the union"

The Oviedo Chronicle prints the following
romantic story: Uncle Sam" said he was
going to do it, but there were few who
thought he really meant it, and so on
| Wednesday morning when Sam Taylor
| quietly made his way to tho depot, dressed
in brand new clothes, very few were aware
| Of his mission. This mission was nothing
less than a trip to Sanford, where, on
| Wednesday evenings fast mailn train, he
met for the first time the lady who was to
be his wife. The lady was Mrs Jenny Viel
OF Williamsport, Pa, with whom he had
! been in corr dependence for the past two
years, and, although she had never met
Mr.. Taylor before, her womanly instinct
aided her in at once picking him out at the
Sanford depot The happy couple were not
| long in finding a minister in the person of
