The Pomelo.

The Pomelo, our now comparatively
despised grape fruit, has a bright future
before it.
1t is Delicious fruit to those who are
acquainted with it's merits, although the
acquaintance must be cultivated. Few
people like it on first trial, but, like q
masterpiece from the brush of one of the
old masters, or beautiful poem, welearn
to like it better as we become more &C
quainted with it's many good qualities,
and when once taste for it Is acquired it
becomes almost passion, and it is pre-
ferred to the most delicious orange.
A tradition" if we may use the ex-
preston, exists among the natives, that
it is panacea for allcomplaints incident
to malarious country. 1t is said to be
sure preventive of chills.
For the invalid, tortured ndconsumed
by burning fevers, nothing is SO CRATE
full and refreshing as full, ripe, delicious
grape fruit 1t quenches the thirst, cools
the burning mouth, and appears to have
a soothing and narcotic influence.
II the reputation of the Pomelo can b.
established on the grounds of it's medici-
nal constituents, it's future is assured, as
then instead of being luxury (Which it
truly is) it will be considered an indispen-
sable necessity, and being such, it's pro-
ducers, ketheproducers of the orange,
will be enabled to establish and maintain
their own prices. They will be in posi-

The Peanut.

This is about time to plant peanuts,
and for the benefit of those of our readers
who are not familiar with it's culture, we
reproduce the following, from whites
Gardening for the South:
Ground Pea (Arachis hypog@a) This plant ia
likewise known the Ground~nut, Pindar and
Peanut. Although not exactly belonging to the
kitchen garden. a few hills should be allowed a
place for the sake OF the little folks. 1t is trail
ing, annual, Leguminous plant, native OF South
America, from whence it was transported to
Africa and our own country. 1t is one OF the few
plants which ripen seed under ground. The yell
low, pea-shaped flower springs from the part Of
the stem near the surface OF the earth, and after
being fortified, the flower stem elongates, grow
ing from four to eight inches, turning downward
until the small tuberce which is to be the future
seed-pod reaches and penetrates the earth. The
seed OF the ground pea abounds in fine oil, which
is sometimes expressed for table purposes. This
oil renders it a valuable crop for fattening hogs,
being for this purpose fully equal to, and prob
ably better than corn. The vines are greedly
eaten by most farm animals. f,.f...l

theory should not be visionary. He
should be practical man and a conserv-

amount of money that il expended atthe
stations should be touched the authori-
ties should be sure that they have such
men in charge. Then let them try what
theories they may have. There is no
more important field forexpefiment than
fruit culture, which is now fraught with
SO much difficulty, in some directions, as
to almost paralyze private enterprise in

Mr.. G. L. TABER, of the Glen ST. Mary
Nurseries, presents our readers with a new
advertisement this week, which should be
well read. The fact that Mr.. Taber guar
antees his trees free from root-knot and
other diseases is worthy OF consideration
from those wishing to invest in nursery
stock. We have been through his or
chard and nursery, and never saw more
thrifty and vigorous lot of trees anywhere.

MORE attention was paid to the hay
crop of Florida last year, than ever be-
fore, and we trust that still more atten-
tion will be paid to it the coming season.
The Sanford Mascotte truthfully says,
the hay crop is one of our sources of rev.
enue. All it costs is thecutting and max
ing. Wherever we plant vegetables in the
winter we CAM cut from two to three tons
of excellent hay per acre in two cuttings,
and we often get larger yield than that
Florida farmers pay too little attention
to this.

What Can be Done in Florida.

We clip the following from State ex-
change. We cannot vouch for it's correct
ness, but simply offer it at it's face value,
and give our readers the privilege of dis
counting it if they choose.
Florida has an area of 81, TIA, 900 acres
of solid land, 3, 400 square miles ofwater,
nineteen rivers navigable distance of
1000 miles. 1t produces more than half
of the Sea Island cotton grown in the
United States, and it beats the world on
garden vegetables.
S. Jefford cleared from his 100 acre cab
bage patch, near Brooksville, $4,000.
Six hundred dollars is what d. j. Newson,
of Archer, realized for one acre of cucunl-
bers. Lupfer Brothers raised and sold
$3.50 from one-twelfth of an acre in Osce-
ola county, which is at the rate of$1 ,440
per acre. Mr.. E. M. Gray, of Ocala,
cleared $500 on two acres of tomatoes.
The WhiImors Brothers, of Kissimmee,
raised caulifower at the rate of three
hundred barrels per acre, which brought
$2,7OO.
Tt is estimated that 100000 crates of
vegetables were raised last season in the
Ocala section, and the net receipts are 81
to $3.50 per crate. Captain Phares, of
Yalaha with whom am acquainted),
raised Irish potatoes on one-eighth OF an
acre which yielded at the rate of $50
bushels per acre, and brought him 81 to
$3.50 per bushel. Mr.. c. E. Spencer, of
Jacksonville, raised large and profit
able crop of Irish potatoes on his place
at Lake Buddie the fore part of 1887,
then he planted same ground Oess than
one-fourth of an acre) with sweet pota-'
toes, from which he harvested ninety
seven bushels. A sweet potato weighing
thirteen pounds was a curiosity last year
at Silver Springs Park. Mr.. Dunway, of
Oakland, harvested from twenty rows,
each thirty feetlong, seventy eight bushels
OF sweet potatoes, orncarly ], 900 bushels
to the acre. Mr.J. Winkelman, also of
Oakland, produced from a volunteer
sweet potato vine, twenty large pota-
toes, of which the three largest weighed
respectively four pounds thirteen ounces,
three pounds thirteen ounces, and three
pounds eight ounces. Six hundred and
fifty dollars is what Wesley GiIlet, of
Manatee, received from half an acre of
eggplant, and more to ship. Ribbon
grass thirteen feet ten inches in height is
grown at Enterprise. Isle La Costa, near
Punta Gorda, will be one immense cocoa
nut grove ere long. Sixteen Thousand
two-year-old trees were recently sold in
Punta Gorda, the most of them to be set
out on this island. A cocoanut grove of
$4,000 trees is what Key West banker
has at Cape Sable. Y. M. Finley raised

DEMOCRATIC CLnRS

1T is very cheering to know that the
work OF organizing Democratic Clubs still
goes on and that their work OF publishing
and circulating the gospel according to
Thomas Jefferson is producing the very
best effect possible. Democrats are every
where satisfied that TO win in 1892 the
masses must DO brought to realize the ne
ccssity for tariff reform by clear and iorci-
bic explanations and applications OF the
iniquiiies OF tho tariff system. The Demo
cratic Clubs, convinced OF this, have entered
the field with timely publications in adj
vance Of any campaign, determined
TO use great deal OF the money
hitherto expended in useless parades
and displays OF fireworks in pay
ing for pamphlets, leaflets and postal
cards bearing messages OF the truth
NJ jefferson enunciated il. In all the
Northwestern States, and in many OF the
Southern, clubs have been formed and the
Reform Club OF New York is ably second
ing them in this work by the dissomina-
ton Of the most convincing Arguments for
tariff reform presented in tho most con-
vincing way. Everywhere the JeiIer-
sonian 'touch-stone' is invoked by which
to try the measures Of the hour. And
everywhere the people are invited to enter
these neighborhood parlameuts and de-
tcrmne for themselves whether their in
tercs,s are promoted 10y a system of taxa
ton which maintains monopolies, encour-
ages trusts, and, for that purpose alone,
annually transfers a thousand millions OF
their earnings to the pockets OF the pro-
tccled gentlemen OF the home market and
the manufacturers clubs, while conveying
only two hundred millions to the public
treasury"

EVANS---BOYLE.
MARRIAGE OF MR.. J. A. EVANS AND
MISS MARION BOYLE.
A Ceremony Which Awakened the In
terest OF Memphis Society Generally
The Personnel of the Contracting
Parties-Many Good Wishes.

"But happy they, the happiest of their kind
Whom gentle stars unite, and in one fate
Their hearts, their fortunes and their beings
blend"
--Tompson's Seasons"
Such was the greeting OF the legion OF
friends that filed Calvary Church yester-
day morning at $50 o'clock to witness the
marriage OF Mr.. Jacob A. Evans and Miss
Marion Boyle. The service was performed
by the pastor, the Rev. sprullle Burford,
ID. Tho ushers were Mr.. Levi Joy, Jr.,
Mr.. Lewis n. Starke, Mr.. Pat Farnsworth
and Mr. Ripley Farnsworth. There were
no other attendants, the whole ceremony
being as simple as possible. The bride
was attired in travelling dress. Mr.. Emile
Levy presided at the organ, and never did
the refrain OF the Lohengrin wedding march
tell OF n happier bridal. There was a good
wish in the heart OF everyone who had
come TO look upon the mating. Miss
Boyle, daughter of the late w. +. Boyle,
has been conspicuous in Memphis society
for her beauty, the amiability OF her dispo-
sition and the variety OF her accomplish
ments. OF cultivated mind, with q
surprising grace OF manner, Of that
high courage which accepts cheer
fully the obligations Of duty, devoted
10 her church and its ordinances, ready to
do the good thing her hand finds 10 do,
modest, self-reliant, sympathetic and full
OF worthy aspirations, Miss Boyle has You,,
the endearing regard Of all who have
known her. Her spirituelle face, eloquent
OF the virtues that give to womanhood its
glory, her eyes OF the hue OF the sky, her
figure as 1.-the and graceful as the willows
branch, her voice soft and muscal-thesc
are elements Of the physical personality
through which glows nature altogether
lovely. The gentleman who has won her,
Mr.. Jacob A. Evans, is OF q South Caro-
lima family, though for the past three
years he has been a prosperous cotton
buyer OF Memphis, being member OF tho
firm Of q. Il. Farnsworth x Co. He stands
high in the respect OF the community and
is universally esteemed, both for the at
tributes that command success in COM
mercial life and for the geniality and cour-
tesy which characterize his bearing. The
marriage is most felcitous.
"To love TO bliss, their blended lives were given
And each, too happy, asks no higher heaven"
II was. doubtless, matter OF regret to
the multitude Of friends Of Mr.. and Mrs.
Evans that, the ceremony over, there could
not be personal expression OF their good
will; but this was prccluded by the ar
rangements, Mr. and Mrs. Evans proceed
ing directly to the Memphis q Charleston
train for an extended bridal tour Of the
East. Nevertheless, they know that they
are followed by the most fcrvent prayers
for their long life, health, happiness and
prosperity. As Father Ryan has said:
God bless them both IN the holy place.

On human love fell the heavenly grace.
