SECURE A HOME IN THE LAND OF FLINRs
DINSMOREl

One of the growing towns of the
South, is situated on both sides of
Savan~ ah, Florida & Western
Railroad, just twelve miles from
Jacksonville, Fla. 1t is high, dry
and level, and a successful hOrti-
cultural and truck-groWing section
of the State. DinsmOre can be
easily reached from Jacksonville by
railroad, by water route, or by an
hour and a half drive over an excel
lent plank and shell road.
DinsmOre is not one of the isola.
ted spots that is only laid out on
paper, but a thriving prosperous
town that recommends itself to
capitalist and laborer, to fathers
and wives who are vigilant over
their own interests and the welfare
of their children, to those who are
seeking homes and those who have
capital to invest for speculation. <1n
The Sland can be obtained at re-
markably low figures and on terms
suitable 90 the condition of every
purchaser. At the present SlOW
figures poor man can make regu-
lar payments on a valuable home
with less than the aggregate of
unnecessary expense Or money act
ually thrown away. IL is an in
Vestment that one cannot regret
and through which you will realize
manys times the amount invested.
The prices are for Front Business
Lots one acre, $65, $50, s35. Sec
ond choice, $25 $18. Third choice
SIS. Fourth choice $40. Fifth
choice, $5. 1t must be remember
ed that these are acre lots. o
We also have vegetable and
truck farms laid out adjacent to
Dinsmore, containing from FIVE to
sixteen acres each, which we offer
for the benefit of those who wish to
farm at SIS acre.
Our terms are one fourth cash
and balance in one, two and three
years. .
The chain Of title will be short
and strong. 1t is from the State OF
Florida to the Railroad and from
the Railroad to you.
Truck farming around DinsmOre
would be at the door of two of the
greatest markets in the South. Let
every poor man If with but one
dollar, commence to buy a lot in
Dinsmore. The fare from Jackson
vile and return is only twenty-five
cents. Think of it. There are
eight passenger trains PEI day and
the round trip will only cost twen-
ty-five cents. Trout creek, a large
streams spasses right through the
vicinity, thus affording pure fresh
water for stock, perfect drainage
and abundance of fish.
TAKE WARNING NOW, and
do not let this grand opportunity
slip you. = 1t is the very best chance
you will have to secure good
piece of valuable property and such
startling prices.
The merchants in Dinsmore arc
enjoying a good trade and the
town v is rapidly growing. Saw
mills are convenient for securing
timber to build, and laborers who
desire work can get from a dollar
and a half to two dollars per day.

THEY SAY

Ah there, Charles To River
View Sept. 10th.
What keen perceptions and thin
cuJecles some people have! "The
nlcked flee when no man pursueth"
is a true and trite saying.
What do you suppose that B. f.
P. wants with seven pictures of one
girl? He must be inordinately
smitten or something of the kind.
A great time at River View Sept.
10th. By all means purchase your
tickets.
Did ycu ever see King Marlieux
pucker his mouth to whistle? We
have, and most of us respectfully
beg to be excused from a repetition.
Those Ga. people have little or no
respect for the Messiah, Elijah or
the balance of the prophetic host,
as theya.a entertaining them in
the county jail.
There is a King Solomon among
the Ga. coons, and Sol. mas pro.
ceeded to surround himself with all
the kingfy concomitants of his illus.
trious predecessor, minus the
wisdom.
He is evidently wise enough to
look after his own personal little
self in charging his followers So a
pair for mugs with which to go to
glory on the 10th inst. Turn her
on, Sol, as it is just one day after
payday here.
After the 10th comes troubleous
times for them, as they refuse to
| till the soil, and, necessarily, must,
in few days, starve to death.
The ministers in protesting
against the fanaticism of Bell-ism
say they are a crazy mob; that there
is danger of more becoming so
they are extremely megre, indecent
and beastly, and that they will be
come paupers and thieves, and 9th
er bad things.
The Junior Excelsiors will go to
River View Sept. 10th.
All of this originated from the
fact of the education of several
girls as missionaries, one of whom
/ married an African chief, and re-
/ turned and opened vaudoO shop
[ inSthe woods of Ga, at which no
| whites were admitted.
To see a man wearing his coat In
| the streets shows proper regard
for the ladies, but Dave Garrett
says the novelty is destroyed by
Fred Dyson in going in his shirt
sleeves to show his shape Prophet
ic Dave!

Miss Sarah Lewis got husband
If not, ask Miss Gertrude Vance OF

Long Chase After a Horse Thief.
ATcHIsoN, KAN, May 1s.-Sheriff Scott of
Washington county has arrived here with
R. w. Kunes, horse thief who stole a
valuable horse belonging to Washington
county farmer April 4th last. The sheriff
had long chase. He travelled throughiNe-
braska and into Iowa, following the thief's
trail. In the latter state he pursued him
from county to county, until a few days ago,
when he overlook and run him down.in a
piece of woods about four miles from Mar
shalltown. kunes, aware that he was being
pursued, had secreted himself and two
horses, which he had stolen IN Nebraska, in
the timber near the creek that flows by Mar
shalltown.
When Sheriff Scott, who had tracked him
to his hiding place. came upon him, Kunes,
being determined and desperate character,
showed fight. When called upon to surren-
der, he instantly drew his gun and was in
the act of firing it at Scott when the latter
quick as a flash, emptied the contents of his
revolver into Kune's leg just below the thigh.
The shot stunned Kunes. He staggered
and fell, and before he had time to recover
himself the sheriff sprang upon him, and
single -handed and alone secured him. Hav-
ing handcuffed him, he assisted him to
mount one of his horses and brought him
back to Marshalltown, and from thence to
Atchison: and lodged hi n safely in the
county Jail from whence he will be taken to
Washington county for trial.

TOPEKA, May 17.-General Manager Rob
inson of the Santa Fe r.ilroad received dis
patches giving particulars of a murder and
daring ROBBERY, at the Santa Fe company's
coal mine at Carthage, N. NJ, known as the
San Pedro coal and coke mines, a short dis
lance south of Socorro, on the Carthage

Two Mexican desperadoes got across to
the Office from the rear and suddenly con-
fronted Superintendent Richards. Before
either Richards or Arnott could reach their
revolvers, they deliberately shot Richards,
causing his instan death. The robbers then
gathered up the cash n the fe amounting
to probably about $1,000 and before anyone
could be notified of the attack, the two men

congressional Plans Formulating
ror the Protection Of the Products
OF american Gypsum. OF Which
Kansas Has SO much.

wAsHHeroN, D. c., May GA very ener-
eetc effort is being made to discourage tie
importation of gypsum rock into the United
states from Canada, and thereby develop
the deposit of that article in New York, ILL
nous, Ohio, Virginia, Michigan, Iowa, Kan
sas, Texas, Alabama and Louisiana, as well
as to nurture" the plaster factories OF the
west. The movement is headed by Repre-
sentative Belknap, of Michigan, who has
spent large portion of the past month In
gathering data which he has placed in the
hands of the customs officers of the treasury
DEPARTMENT. The effort to carry his point is
being made in two ways, ~ to enforce tho
duty on gypsum rock imported into the
United States as fertilizer, but as he main
tains, for manufacturing purposes, and ~
to have the tariff increased from 81 to 81
per ton. The importation of this mineral In
Lass was 163, 600 tons, valued at S14S, 600 the
same being allowed TO enter free if used for
agricultural purp ses. The manufacturers
claim that, excepting about 1000 tons, this
entire amount is used In manufactures for
which the duty is provided. The article is
imported free under the head of plaster of
paris, or sulphate of lime unground." This.
it is urged by those who ask to have the
duty increased 100 per cent, is only another
name for ground calcined sulphate of
lime" Used in the manufactures. The effort
to increase the duty is in the interest of
western mills, as AGAINST large eastern en-
terprises, which Mr.. Belknap says, send
their surplus west on small margin, to the
the detriment of the western mills to such
an extent that in Kent county, Michi-
gan, of eight plaster mills three are idle,
and three are able to work but four months
in the year. the result of cheap Canadian
plaster used in the east.
