Potash.
Fernandina, Fla.

We have been, and shall be in constant
hope, until we hear OF the discovery of q
mine of potash in Florida or some other
State in the Union. Potash is one of the
important elements Of plant food that
has to be supplemented to all soils to en-
sure good returns to the agriculturist.
Only few years since, potash could BIZ
obtained at reasonable price from Ger
man Kainit, which sold for $40 per ton.
But syndicate monopOlizeI the ship
ments of all Kainit to this country
hence the price was at once advanced
more than so per cent. By the way,
what fortunes the fertilizer men, most of
them, have made since the war. Many
of them are milliOnaires and many more
will be, unless the farmers do their own
mixing, for that is what the manufacture
ing of fertilizers amounts to. Phosphate
acid, potash and nitrogen are the chief
ingredients OF a complete fertilizer, and
the farmer can do the mixing himself and
thereby save SO per cent. Manufacture
ing fertilizers is. an inviting field to AL
lance men. Liberal fertilization and
careful culture has placed the state of
Georgian the frontranks of agricultural
progress. Let Florida do likewise. Geor-
gia has no natural advantage over Flor
ida, in fact naturally Florida has much
the advantage in fertilizers. Phosphoric
acid, inexhaustible nitrogenin muck beds
without end. potash is only needed to
put us in position of independence I'M
equaled by any otherland under the sun.
Carefully save and use all the ashes. that
contain potash, until the mine is found.

had he planted on the keys and on the
main, trusting to nature, and an occa-
sional visit from himself to the'r preser-
walton. The Agricultural Report OF the
Land Office speaks of many solitary
trees, which, for some unknown reason,
have not multiplied. Disston's surveying
party found coffee, all, undoubtedly,
the result OF DR.. Perrine's planting.

THEY FOUGHT TO A FINISH.

swipes the Newsboy Knocks Out Jack
Brennan in Five Rounds.
New YORK, Dec. 2S-"Swipes the Newsboy," !"
of This city, and Jack Brennan, of Brooklyn,
fought TO finish on Long Island to-day. Bren-
nan is strapping big fellow, nearly six feet
high, and weighs about $50 pounds. Swipes is a
bantam of about l2O pounds. and when the two
men entered the ring the contrast was some
thing remarkable. Swipes started in the fist
round as though he had ''cincn." but before
the round was over ne stopped one OF Bren-
mans swinging right handlers with his face,
which dazed'him for some seconds. Brennan
could have finished him there and then, but in
stead stood till Swipes recovered.
In the second round Brennan forced the
fighting. while SwIpes acted on the defensive
and let his opponent tire himself. Swipes was
knocked, or rather pushed through the ropes
in the early part of the third round. and later
on, during some hard in-tghtlng, Brennan
back-heeled Swipes and threw him heavily to
the floor. Brennan was warned against this
style of unfair lighting
Swipes changed his tactics in the fourth
round and began to play for the big fellows
heart and wind. He got in several etfectual
blows on Brennan's stomach and the latter
seemed very glad wnen the round was ended
In the fifth round Swipes went at his man in
the same style and suon had him So weak that
he was able to change his point of attack to the
head and face. He had Brennan falling all
over the ropes and would have knocked him
out before the close of the round had not
Brennans seconds thrown up the sponge.

THREE LITTLE BURGLARS

Rob Two McKeesport Stores, but Leave
Some of the P1under Behind.
Officers Tucker and Tillbrook, of Nc
Keesport, came to this city last night in
quest of trio of youthful thieves who
robbed two stores there early yesterday
morning. The boys were "Fatty" Herline
aged Is, and Frank and Joseph Sayers, aged
and II years respectively. Some time yes
terday morning they robbed Jerry
Mahoney's jewelry store of lot of gold
rings and other jewelry. Then they went
to Bachmann & Marks clothing store, un-
der the Opera House, and rugged themselves
out in an entire new outfit OF the best they
could find. After turning everything up
side down, they went out the back door,
which they lett standing open. In donning
their new clothes they forgot to remove the
stolen jewelry from the pockets of their old
suits, and it was found in them by the
officers.
Fatty" Herline is remarkably fat as
we'll as bad boy. He looks to be 90 years
old, and was only recently tried in court for
horse stealing. The other two boys are
diminutive, but said to be we'll advanced in
crime.
