FLORIDA PAPERS.

Exposition.
OcalA, pronounced with o long and
both a'8 short, is henceiorth historic.
The eyes Of all America we're turned
TO OCala while the great alliance conven-
tion was in session there The New York
and other metropolitan papers had re
pOrters there from the frst. All Intelli-
gent, we'll informed persons understand
that the relation which the Farmers and
LaboreFs, Industrial Union bears 10 the
future Of this nation ls one Of great sig
nihcance. Magnatss and high officials
the country over eagerly scanned the re-
ports from chat dellberative body
Ocala demonstrated with waving flags,
decorated buildings, and iestal garb, her
realization Of the importance Of the OC-
Casion. Never we're a body Of people
more elaborately and genuinely well
coined. For the time being, at least, II
seemed as II all classes Of men, whatever
their business, whatever their politics,
whether ranking with the "classes or the
masses all believed that the "demands''
Of the assembled farmers we're essential
for each and all.
Ocala is u pretty little city Of about
1900 population. There ls fine central
public square, the court house therein.
Beautiful live oaks and other fine trees
all gracefully iestooned with the soft
gray moss are distributed throughout the
little "brick city" Well built, prosperous
business buildings surround the square
The Ocala house Is large and elegant
with every modern convenience. There
are fine residences with beautiful yards
filed with blooming plants and shrubs
Orange trees, laden with fruit, exquisite
roses, fine as any Of hot house culture
all In the out-of-dOOr December.
Ocala has the look OF all Florida towns
Gas we later observed) Of three-fourtha
neWness and one-fourth old age. Such
appearance ls quite legitimate. Poor
Florida, after the war, had hard lot
but the new Florida Of the last eight and
ten years has taken wondrous new life
and prosperity, and this new develop
ment is but just begun. Florida has
wonderful resources and a splendid
future. OF these great resources and
possibilities we shall write more here.
after The next FIVE and ten years will
see wonderful progress In delightful
Florida.
The seml-trOplcal exposition buildings
are about one mile from the court house
The grounds are beautifully laid out
The main building is large and Sttrac.
tive, built for permanent use, as 1t Is the
purpose 10 make these displays OF Florida
productions annually. The present OK.
position will continue ninety days. II
there is anything good TO eat, anything
luscious aud tempting not spread out on
those long tables we surely cannot re-
member to have heard Of II. Just "a
enumerate the delicious fruits displayed
would take q page Of THE ADVOCATE
Pine apples, numbeTless varieties Of
oranges, bananas apparently growing in
the building, wateFmelons. guavas, grape
fruit, lemons, shaddOCk, Japanese per-
simmOns-these are but a small part Of
the fruit display.

THE NEXT STATE ELECTION.

What General Merwin Says Regard-
 ing Ills Candidacy for she First
 Place on the Ticket.
 General Merwin says regarding his can- didacy for the next Republican nomination for governor, that, while not seeking or pipe. laying for the honor, he will accept 1t if it comes to him, and shall hope to receive the endorsement of his fellow citizens. General Merwin says regarding the outlook that he | considers 1t good. The chances for Q Re- publican sueeess are bright. There is, he continued, hardly possibility of an election by the people, but there is no reason why the legislature should not be republican by | handsome majority. General Nerwin at the last state election was the only republican candidate who received plurality of thu votes cast. He had 75, ,165 to "A, ,148 for hii democratic competitor, plurality of 1,019 and greater than any of the democratic can l didates received.

The Opening Feverlsh-The General Course of Prices DsWnward-Thc Close Active and Weak.

NEW 1ORk m6y St Railroad bonds were feverish and tho market showed greater number of weak points than for a long time, with . smaller and better distributed
 business than usual of late. Atchison incomes and fours and Texas Pacific seconds were the only ae-
 tive specialties and the dealings reached $s Canada Southern flrsts, Northwestern extension fours, Cleveland and Canton frsts, Fort Wayne thirds and Atlantic and Pacific incomes were the
 weaks spots while Burlington consols. some of the Louisville bonds and Ontario and Western frsts were the strong saues
 The stock market opened feverish and the gen. eral course of prices was downward. There were marked advances in Sugar and Richmond and West Point during the early dealings but Atchison was weak from the outset. The threatened war with the Missouri Pacific overshadowed all favorable factors and the stock dragged down the grangers, although Northwestern was a noted exception The progress made in the downward direction was small, however, until the last few hours, when a
 most vigorous raid ratted prices off rapidly espe' calIy in Sugar, Richmond and West Point and some ofthe other prominent stocks.
 The market closed very active and decidedly weak at the lowest points.

Value of Peas for swine.

A writer in the American Swineherd calls attention to the importance of growing peas for the swineherd. He says:
 "No feeder of swine can afford to go with out more or less peas, according to the size of his herd. It will not do to put them in ord- mary rich soil, as they are liable to grow too much to vines. We generally SOW from one to three acres, sowing those intended for seed in a separate plat, without oats, about half acre for that purpose. We have found it best on our sandy loam to plough them in. sowing two bushels per acre broadcast sand then ploughing them in five inches deep. Ii the land should be hard and baked drag 1t first so the the peas will not roll in the aot of ploughipg. After plouehiuR SOW two or three pecks of oats; drag them in. Those intended for seed when ripe we rake up with horse hay rake; Those for the pigs we commence cutting when peas are nearly ready for table use and feed to SOW and pigs by soiling, or we set @ movable fence through them and let the pigs harvest them patch at 8 time. A little watch should be kept upon the pigs, as peas are constipating and should be regulated with some other feed.
 "Ws use the common green or Canada pea, and SOW In April, so as to have them about the time of the year when clover becomes woody. and then the peas can be followed by a patch of sweet corn, stalks and all"

A Grocers Battle With a Refractory
 Cow.

D. M. Davis, the Shelton avenue grocer, had protractsd and exhausting struggle Tuesday with an unruly COW in his pasture lot. The COW was new acquisition and reigued supreme in the pasture, defying everything and everybody and imposing fear among all beholders except MT. Davis. He tackled the COW and tried soothing words, but these only exasperated the beast. He then seized thecow by tho horns and was thrown sprawling on to the wet grass. Noth- ing dadnted, he tackled tho beast again, and this time by his agility and strength tripped and threw down the animal. Up jumped the COW again, mad and furious, and down went MT. Davis on his back again. Three more rounds were fought, at the end of which the COW appeared tired aud surrender ed. The contest was viewed by several friends of Mir. Davis, who had doubted his ability to snbdue the vicious beast and who staid securely behind the rail fepoe.
