cost me an average of $50 year for Gull
tivation. My neighbor has done about
the same with his. Our crops of oranges
varying from $3.50 to $3.50 per year as
a net income with the prospects of quite
an advance in the future. The natural
growth of pines and oaks on any tract
of land will serve as true index to de-
termine how your fruit trees will be. If
the pines and oaks are tall and slender,
your fruit trees will be likewise, when if
low, spreading and bunchy the same. 1t
serves true index in another particular
to determine the natural strength of
soil-fOr instance, if the oaks or pines are
hard and dwarfed in appearance, with
top twigs dead and sickly, set it down
that the land is valuless for almost any
purpose. Any ordinary observer will
know this to be true. Again, the amount
of vegetation, it's vigor as we'll as guam
tity and diversity will clearly Indicate
the strength of the land.
No State, perhaps, in the Union has a
greater diversity OF soil than Florida.
There is high table or fiat lands and low
fat lands, high rolling, medium rolling,
high black land, and low black land,
deep yellow and light yellow, light grey
and salt and pepper, or lead color, some
high and spungy, with coarse, porous
soil, others high, but firm where roads
will pack; low OF the same character,
very compact, with quite a lot of land in
Florida of different character unworthy
of description, being too poor even to be
made available for any purpose.
The classes above enumerated are the
kinds that are used in Florida for both
agriculture and horticulture. Some first
class to be found in all those mentioned
and on which are good groves, and where
field crops, vegetables, ETC., are grown.
When it comes to adapting any defined
mode of managementin the caring, prun-
ing, etc. OF an orange grove it is simply
absurd.
I have often been asked in commenting
on the various modes contended for,
"Who is right?'' My reply is always the
same, "Probably all are right and
nothing strange about tiff they are. Well,
why? Simply that their soils possibly
differ in many ways. Each grower must
determine for himself the best way. Sure
ly it cannot make such material difference
as some thrifty bearing groves thatcome
under my knowledge have been planted
and cared for by men absolutely too ig
norant to reach a conclusion by any
process of reasoning, who are unable to
explain the cause or results of the simp-
lest problem in analogy.
| do beg to differ with the theory of
some who are trying to establish the
mode of no culture for grove. 1t is con-
trary to every principle of experience,
theory or commonsense, and, if adapted
generally, will explode in due time for it's
adherents to feel the result of their folly.
Allow me to say, however, that where
groves are set on low hammock, with
mari foundation or other rich table lands

| Commissioner Jacob Stahl Is rapidly
gaining in favor with the voters in all
parts of the county. There was in the
opening Of the campaign little dissat-
isfaction in the south part of the
county, it being claimed that Stahl had
not paid proper attention to that local
ity, but after it was discovered that
the total levy for bridge purposes
amounted to $4,000, and of this sum
10000 was used to pay bridge bonds,
leaving total of $4,000 to be used in
the entire county, and that Henry
township alone had received $4,000 of
this amount, the people readily
observed that they had had full pro-
portion of all that was due them and
are now rallying to the support of Mr..
Stahl with will. From all parts of
the county come words of encourage
ment and praise for him and his cleo
tion is an assured fact, and the boys
may bank on it. He is not only a
gentleman but very competent officer
and the county cannot afford to put a
new man in his place, no matter who
the opponent may be.

We notice the name of William
Slough ON the Republican ticket fol
Auditor in Williams County. The
nomination of Mr.. Slough is an excel
lent one, we believe. He is a perfect
gentleman, man thoroughly capable
of performing the duties OF Auditor.
He was II member of the gallant old
Tooth Regiment, II brave soldier, and
has earned the right to an office in his
county. The Republicans of Williams
county will have reason to be proud OF
him if elected, and the JOURNAL and
hundreds of friends in old Wood county
would be glad of an opportunity to vote
for him.

remark, there are many more men in

A Scandalous FaIsehood
ABOUT NOAH S, JONES, THE REPUB-
LOAN CANDIDATE FOR
SHERIFF,
Proven Untrue, and is Resulting in
Jones' Favor.

! The Bowling Green Democrat last
week devoted "a whole column, headed
by grand display heading, in which
that paper claims that Doe N. S.
Jones, the Republican candidate for
Sheriff, of Wood County, ut one time,
while employed in running u bowl fac
tory for Rogers and Chapman, ut Dun
bridge, was engaged in stealing timber
from Robert Dunn, of Bowling Green.
The fact that the Democrat would stoop
to publish such an article for the
express purpose of making few votes,
when they knew the report was not
true, shows how badly pushed the Dem
ocrats are for material to catch votes
with.
While at Bowling Green on Tuesday
asst, we met Mr.. Dunn and learned
from him that there is nothing in it,
and that he is earnestly supporting Mr..
Jones for Sheriff, and the reputation
of Mr.. Dunn is such that no man will
believe he would support candidate
for Office il he did not think him worthy.
We publish the following letter from
Mr.. G. F. Chapman, of Perrysburg,
who was the owner of the mill and the
employer of Mr.. Jones, at the time the
affair is said to have occurred:

If we were u Democrat, we would
certainly leave the party,if for no other
reason than because its cause is being
championed by that sneaking ,cowardly,

more than we can understand.

The names of those two officers John
Wilson, Auditor, and A. J.. Muir Clerk.
will go down to posterity as being
among Wood county's most famous and
worthy officials. Never in the history
of this grand county of Wood, the
garden of the State, has the business
devolving on the Auditor been of such
magnitude as during the past few years
of the oil and gas development of the
county. Property amounting to mil
lions of dollars must be looked after
and the indomitable will. strict
regularity and rigid economy and
honesty of our Auditor has been such
that the people have been served in
such manner that complaint or
dissatisfaction has been unknown.
What is true of the Auditor is equally
true of the Clerk. Mr.. Muir, while
the youngest officer in the county,
is by no means lacking in any of the
qualifications of good officer. The
business of the Clerk s Office has been
conducted in a systematic and careful
manner, and the gentlemanly Clerk is
ever ready to render any assistance
possible to people desirous of securing
information connected with the Office
Both these officers having served their
first terms have had opportunities to
prove their fitness for the offices they
occupy, and their official records speak
for them in stronger terms than can
the ablest writer. It's only question
of how large their maiorities will be.

The truth is Jones is an honest up
right citizen, was faithful soldier and
has all the necessary qualifications for
the office of Sheriff, but has the mis-
fortune of being poor, while the Demo-
cratic candidate for Sheriff is rich in
money he has inherited, and is using
every possible means to scoop in the
Office of Sheriff.

Mrs. G.. M. ANDERsol


The JOURNAL had the pleasure of
going to Ottawa county not long since,
and while there took particular pains
to enquire concerning the standing of
Jones, and we can. say that of the many
people with whom we conyersed, all
knew him, and they all spoke of him
In the highest terms. He will be elected
next Tuesday, and all the slush that
has been poured out upon him by his
political enemies will be of no avail
1t will be Sheriff Jones after Tuesday.
1t was also stated that Jones had
charged II poor soldier comrade $40 for
aiding him in getting IL pension, which
is proven false by the following sworn
statement:

Mr.. Chapman is one of our foremost
citizens and the fact that he is support.
ing Jones is sufficient evidence that
there is nothing in the Democrat S
report.
In conversation with Mr.. Rogers one
of the firm interested in the timber
business, that gentleman said to the
Sentinel:
Jones never thought of wronging

ply II misunderstanding of parties. l.,
as one of the interested parties, intend
to support Mr.. Jones to the last"
Not being satisfied with the timber
lie, the friends of the Democratic can
didate for Sheriff have gone down to
Ottawa county for the purpose of rak-
ing up the old dry bones of the past to
ascertaining if there is not IA few
shreads left upon which they mag feed,
and satisfy their appetite for roorback
beef. They even accuse him of trying
to rob the church contribution box;
and of OWING a bill; and any num-
ber of fool things which they know
to be false

the fight has been waged, and also

Cruelty to a Young Boy.

From Clignancourt. the famous ward
which returned Gen. Boulanger, there is
reported terrible case of cruelty to a
boy of 10. The parents of the child, it
is said, had shut him up in a wardrobe
for two years and half. and had starved
him. The police were apprised and on
going to the house described to them
they found the boy. who looked like
living skeleton. The parents were inn
mediately arrested. and were hooted Wig
orously by large crowd as they were
being conveyed to the station. The i'll
fated child died on its way to the Hos
pital of the Infant Jesus. The parents
were we'll off. and no explanation of
their inhuman conduct is forthcoming.
The mother of the boy has been sent
back to her dwelling, where she tried TO
jump out of window during the after
noon, but was prevented from carrying
out her suicidal intention.-Paris Letter.

"Churchianity and Christianity"

Arena by Rev. Carlos Martyr, ID.
1t is very vigorous and brilliant ar
raignment of the Church as an insti-
tuition for its lack of sympathy for, or
cooperation with, important reforms
in social and political fields. The ar
raignment is of the church, not chris
tianity, and the following paragraph
will give an idea of the nature of the
charges:
"The slave cried: Church Of the
living God, help me to liberty! And
Churchianity replied BE quiet. You
are black. Stay where you are, for
we are trying to send the free cOlored
people back to Africa Temperance
cries: christians! aid US to medicate
this cancer of drunkenness which is
eating out the vitals of civilization
And Chnrchianity responds: Did
not Paul advise Timothy to take a
little wine for his stOmach's sake"
Woman cries: Il am trembling be-
tween starvation and the brOthel.
Open to me broader avenues of Occu-
patton And Churchianity answers:
'Fie! For shame! Do you want to
unsex yourself? 60 home and darn
