West Florida.

So much more has been said in the agri-
cultural press of this state about Florida
oranges, lemons and pineapples that the
far off reader is led to believe that all of
Florida grows that class of fruit, which is
grand mistake. West Florida has never
had an agricultural or horticultural paper
of note, consequently her advantage has
not been made knewn and the general
reader is led to believe that "up here" we
grow the above mentioned fruits
When one gets it into his head that the
aforementioned fruits are all that can be
grown, he will probably think he is too
old 10 commence to learn that kind Of
farming and abandon the idea of moving
10 Florida.
In this portion we have rich soil, not
sand, and grow all of the common field
products and would grow more if we had
new set of hands al the bellows.
In this portion of the state any farmer
that will exercise good common farm sense
can raise an endless variety of the cereals,
vegetables and fruits and at the same time
make money easier, and with less labor
than in any other state OF the Union.
Here he can farm every day in the year
in some shape or form, and plant some
thing every month in the year. No work
ing hard three months in the year to make
crops and then sit down and wait the
other nine months for the stock to eat the
crop.
1t will give us pleasure to enlighten all
of our foreign readers at every time on the
grand future that awaits West Florida.

A DISASTROUS FIRE.
r. C. AND p. DEPOT AT OCALA
BURNED.
HEROIC EFFORTS OF THE FIREMEN SAVE
THE CITY-FIvE CARS OF MERCHANDISE
GO UP IN sMOKE-THE LOSSES EsTI-
MATED AT $4,000.

OcALA, May 4.-Fire broke out shortly
after 10 o'clock last night in the Florida
Central and Peninsular depot at this
place, and in an hour it was heap of
smouldering ruins.
The Florida Central and Peninsular
loss is $1,000 including two cars Of mer-
chandise.
Agent John Dozier was under the i'm
preston that the loss was covered by the
insurance.
The loss of the Silver Springs, Ocala
and Gulf Railroad is placed at $15, 900,
including three cars of merchandise.
The cause of the fire is unknown. 1t
started in the Office. The current Of air
was strong in the south, and the heroic eff
forts of the Ocala fire department were
what saved the city, as a perfect shower
of sparks and cinders fell on George Cor
nucharrs buildings and set them on fire,
but the prompt work of the firemen extin-
gusihed the flames. Considerable mer-
chandize IN the depot belonging to our
leading merchants went up in smoke.
The fire created great excitement, and
drew an immense crowd. The temporary
quarters of the Florida, Central and Pen
insular, are in Captain McDavid's cotton
warehouse.

DICTATORSHIP.

The Tavares Herald of the current week
calls on the democrats of Lake county to
demand the resignation of Hon. VIM. A.
Hooker unless he will vote for Call. This
is high.handed measure, but it is only
another step along the road marked out by
Mr. Call, the idol of our contemporary.
For Mr.. Call once upon time avowed

senator's absence from his desk-and plac-

of the senate. For this Senator Call was
threatened with forcible ejectment from
the senate chamber.
Here is what General W. D. Barnes,
who was then president of the senate, said
some time ago in reference to this disrepu-
table conduct of Mr.. Call:

out upon his desk to be read and acted
upon. Judge Niblack being sent for. stated
tina, he had not reported the bill; that he
lett it on his desk when he went out of the
chamber then required the secretary to
state how he came into possession of the
bill, and he replied that Mr.. Call handed II

remarked in substance that such informed.
