Orlando Record: A strange character in
the shape OF negro crank could De seen on
the streets today. He is very bashful about
cOnversing with people, and will walk off
when spoken to without returning an an
swer. He has a large white canvas bag
hanging at his side, with several compart-
ments and tin cup attached to
It. He bears certificate which
states that he is able to tell what can be
found 800 yards beneath the surface Of the
earth, and also 600 yards out 70 sea; that
be is possessed of wonderful powers Of speed
and endurance, having left Tallahassee on
foot at the same time the fast mail started,
and reached Jacksonville before its arrival.
He carries a long cane which he swings fu
rlously about and gazes blankly into the
azure space of heaven as he wanders about
the streets. Many negroes are afraid TO
speak TO him, as they think they will be
hoodooed. He calls himself the lightning

deed to a lot in town in Florida, from a
railroad company there, with letter tell

the lot by recording the deed. For that

the company hired a clerk to record the
deeds, and they themselves received the
fee. There are about ten lots of the size of
the one they gave me to an acre, so they re-

the fees, and you could buy all the land
about that place you want for 81 25 an

Elmer Townsend OF Blue Springs arrived
at Ocala Thursday, went around to the
different social clubs and druggists, bought
samples of liquor and then went before
County solicitor Badger and lodged infor-
natlons When this fact became known it
produced quite a commOtion, and one of
the proprietors of a social club, it Is said,
hunted up the man Townsend and used
threatening language to him. Whereupon
the former thought it prudent to call on
the mayor and ask permission to carry a
pistol, which the mayor said he could do, if
carried openly. Mr.. Townsend got pistol,
put 1t IN the outer breast pocket of his coat
and went about his business Whereupon
the club men had him arrested for carving
concealed weapons, and he was brought
before judge COdsro, when Editor Hood
and Isaac Stevens furnished bail Mr..
Townsend's hearing took place Saturday.
When arraigned the court house corridor
was crowded, mostly by those who evil
IDENTIFY think ''social clubs" desirable insti-
tuition.

Ocalo Banner: NJ Serge Malyvan, the
talented and interchangeable manager of the
Florida Produce Manufac turing Company
at Leesburg, without being cognizant of
the interest which the subject inspires, has
solved the problem and forever set at rest
any doubt upon the question of profitable
disposition OF the surplus tomato crop For
some time past he has been conducting q
series of experiments with the tomato, and
has at length succeeded in perfecting a gen
erous and delicious wine which is equal to
the best sherry, and some connoisseurs
pronounce it superior even to his famous
orange wine, and predict that in the near
future the tomato will be a formidable
rival to grape, especially as the new law
allows such products to be manufactured
without the pigment of q license tax. NJ.
Malyvaus process for the manufacture of to-
mato wine is different from any process ever
used in the state before. II he attains the
same proficiency in the manufacture of
tomato wine he has attained in the manu-
facture of Crane wine, both the consumer
and the trucker may well rise up and "call
him blessed" We understand that tomato
wine can be produced and retailed at less
than 10 cents per gallon If such should be
the case, and the quality of the wine be as
high as some enthusiastic Leesburgers pro
nounce it, Nj. Malyvan will have added an
other industry to Florida. Marion county
is large trucking county, and it stands her
in hand to seize the new industry as soon as
1T becomes public property, or sooner, if she
can capture NJ Malyvan.
