ThenCold Wave.

During the past season our Florida
gardeners have not reclined on fowery
beds Of ease; they have had apretty hard
time, though no fault OF therown. From
September to the latter part Of February
they we're afflicted with'a disastrous and
unprecedented drought; when this was
in a measure broken they were visited by
frost and a freeze. the like of which was
unknown, SO latein the season, since 1883.
1t is impossible to estimate the damage
done by the cold snap. Certainly it is
very extensive. Vegetables just COM
mencing to bear, such as cucumbers,
squash, beans tomatoes, etc., were in
most cases killed to the ground, and will
prove a total loss. Other vegetables of
more hardy nature that were not killed
were considerably damaged.
AS to the injury done to the coming
orange crop, it is impossible to estimate
at present. Our advises from different
sections are to the effect that old orange
trees were not injured at all, but
that in some cases where young trees
were full OF sap and growing
rapidly, they were killed. The young
growth and tender extremities of the
shoots of both old and young trees,
we're scorched and killed, but this
will not materially affect the well-being
of the trees.
The oranges of last years crop which
still remained On thetrees were uninjured,
although the thermometer registered as
low as c240. The orange, owing to it's
thick skin highly impregnated with oil,
makes it impervious to the cold in a re-
markable degree, and while it isundoubt-
eddy true that 24o would freeze the or
ange if long continued, still an exposure
for few hours to this degree Of cold has
no perceptible effect on the fruit.
AS to the blooms it is yet matter of
conjecture as to what damage they re-
.ceived.. 1t is generally conceded that the
blooms fully opened are killed in many
localities, but the buds, which were not
expanded, it is thought will come
out all right.
Fortunately the trees had all not
bloomed, and it is thought that there
will be sufficient buds yet to develope to
insure full crop.

Home Resources and Imported Cap
ifo1
iital.

| 4bdx.
The money brought into Florida dur
ing the winter by northern visitors, tour
lists and others, amounts to great deal,
and is undoubtedly a great help to our
| State and it's people, as is also the money
| spent by non-residents in the care of their
| groves, but it is a adpractice to depend
upon this imported capital for our sus-
tenance. Contingencies may arise, as has
been the case in the past, when this sup
ply will fail US. For instance during the
winter of 1S87-S8 and 188S-89 we had,
comparatively, but few visitors, and as
some of our people had depended
upon them for their revenue, they
were sadly disappointed, and their
financial condition was everything but
enviable.
The moral to this is Live at home,
and, as far as possible, be independent. of
imported capital. We are aware that
this is difficult matter in the orange re-
gion OF South Florida, in fact it is an i'm
possibility to follow the advise literally
Still every little helps, and there are but
few places anywhere in the State that
something cannot be grown thatwill ma
terially reduce the bill at the grocery.
In the first place the matter OF forage
should command the attention of the Or
ange grower. Every orange grower, it is
presumed, has one or more horses, and il
verythingis purchased it ordinarily costs
from $12 to $15 per head to feed them.
In some places in the orange growing Sec
ton of the State, as much as twenty-five
bushels of corn have been raised to the
acre, planted between the rows of young
orange trees This was probably an eX-
ceptional yield, and, of course, necessit tat
ed the application OF fertilizers. Still the
grower claimed that it paved him well.
However, it is question as yet unset
tied as to whether or not it pays to grow
other crops than orange trees on the
same land, but we are inclined to think
that during the infancy of the grove, and
where enough fertilizer is applied to meet
the demand of both the orange trees and
the annual crop, no harm. and possibly
some good, will be the result In any
event, as land is yet cheap in the State,
few acres could be set aside for "crop-
ping' purposes.
The matter of producing grain in this
section of the State is rather uncertain,
but there can be no question as to the
profitable production of forage plants,
either in the young grove or on land set
aside especially for the purpose. The in
diginous crab grass makes hay equal to
timothy, and the only expense connected
with the saving of the hay is the cutting
and curing of the grass. In addition
to the crab grass, we have the millet,
pea vines, peanut tops, etc, that can be
grown and cured with but little trouble
and expense. Many grove owners are
now producing all the forage required for
their stock, which is a great saving to
them.
AS to other things that may be pro-
| duced in connection with our orange
grove, there is of course, certain degree
of uncertainty, but this is the case with
every thing. A garden Is indispensable,
| of course the chances of drOuth and frost

Hoi FOR THE FA1Rl
Big Premiums for Tobacco, Fine Horses,
Lively Trotting and Pacing Great
Crowds Promised.


The GAINESVILLE Park Association
officers held a meeting Saturday and
added $lC0 to the Tobacco Board pre-
MUM fund, which is now $500, to be
given in premiums on various classes
of tobacco, as the committee may de-
eide. These premiums will be worth
contending for and will not cost the
exhibitors anything but the trouble
of carrying their tobocco to the fair
and carrying it home after the show
is over, and that is what every plant
er who takes any interest and pride
in his business ought to do anyhow.
Now go to work, cure your tobacco
nicely and carry ten pounds TO the
fair and show the buyers what kind
Of tobacco you have raised this year
and make them anxious for it.
If the farmers will bring in 200 or
more samples and after the show is
over all club together and sell the
samples in one lot to the highest bid
der, and prorate the proceeds, they
will see some pretty lively bidding,
which will 90 to establish a basis for
good prices this fall Every buyer
in the market would like to have
picked samples enough to make a
hogshead for first shipment and let
the foreign trade know what is COM
ing. In any event farmers ought to
take lively interest in this part of
the exhibition. The efforts of the
Association -dt serve encouragement
all the way through. The enterprise
is doing much good towards the de-
Vel0pment of the agricultural inter
est and stimulating the breeding of
valuable stock. The progressive far
mers are catching on to this spirit
and are enjoying some of the bene
fits as they come.
The Association is greatly encOur-
aged with the prospect. The exhibit
ton rings and trotting and pacing en-
tries will be full every day, and the
program is SO arranged that every
day will be full OF interest. 1t will
will be the finest exhibition of stock
ever seen in this section, especially
horses, and should the weather be
favorable the people will be here
from all quarters.

saloon Saturday evening, in which
John and Eaton Haynes, Ed. Moore,
JEFF Stafford, Robert Appleton, Jesse

the recorder. The fines were as fol-
lows: JEFF Stafford, $40 and costs !;
John Haynes, So GO and costs; Ed.
Moore, $500 and costs; Robert APP
pleton, $40 90 and costs.
The game was being run by Robt.
Appleton. A States warrant was
issued for his arrest and put in the
hands of Sheriff Station. Station took
one part of the city and instructed
Henry l.. Clark, the newly-elected
constable, to take another part, and
if he found Appleton to arrest him
and held him until he (Staton) came.
Clark found his man and informed
him that the sheriff had warrant
for him, and that he Clark would
stay with him until the sheriff came.
Appleton walked into the "Dew
Drop Inn" ostensibly for the purpose
of getting glass of beer, when he
kept on through the house and made
good his escape.

A Marrow Escape.

This morning the horses attached
to the cXpr, IS wagon made dash
for liberty, and came within a hair,
breadth of dashing themselves to
death over the river bluff at the foot
of Commerce street. While the driver
was delivering parcel TO the foundry
Office on Commerce street, the horses
took fright at something and started
mt a bold run down the street. just
rs the wheels Of the wagon cleared
the cut of the ferry road the horses,
seeing their danger, whirled around
and sent the vehicle spinning over
the far edge Of the road. II struck a
large rock on the brink Of the preci
pie and overturned, leaving the
wheels on the edge Of the blair aud
the top projecting over. The trace
hooks slipped and saved the horses,
which were thrown down in the
road. The animals escaped without
a scratch, and the wagon was but
slightly damaged.

taken to the tent III a furniture car,
into which he had locn lifted. When
the van arrived at the tent, Mr.. Farley

his cane behind him, walked ont of the
tent. evidently greatly relieved. His
arms were uplfted, and he praised God
in loud tone of voice. When he
reached the car he sat in his chair, still
holding his hands on high and calling
for praise for the Almighty. There
were II large number " persons ON the
