obtained some time since in this section of the
State, will not be allowed to wane on account of
the summer weather. Talk it up and encourage

cord with our Madison contemporary, and deem
the fair the very best enterprise that could occur
in Middle Florida.
This section could very readily make fair
that would prove very attractive, and influence
Thousands of strangers to visit us, who have

ties can be supplied here necessary for the hold

Walker by name. In searching her house he
found any number Of old coins, twelve pocket
books, some of the goods stolen from the resi-
dence of Capt r. A. Shine some time since, and
in addition, recovered something over three
hundred dollars OF the money stolen from other
parties last week. From the smallness of the
tracks around the buildings burglarized the
officers were led 10 believe that the work was
done by boys, never thinking for a moment there
was woman in the land bold enough to under
take such work alone. The woman burglar is
