Rev. A. a. Robinson of Hanetee
Dead-rhe Dead Man in the Buggy.
BRAIDENTowS, Fla. Nov. death
has again visited our community and car
ried off one of our oldest citizens-Rev. A.
A. Robinson of Manatee village. Mr.. Rob-
inson came to this place from Americas,
Ca, in 1868. His first wife died about ten
years ago. She was also of a prominent
Georgia family. She was Gibson and first
married Daniels. Her sister also married
a Daniels, the two hus snds being brothers.
Both were left widowers One efterward
married Rev. John p. Duncan, known
through South Georgia as 1.-The sweet
singer in Israel"
The other married the Rev. Adam D.
Robinson, and with him removed to Florida
among our most prominent people, being
noted for their intelligence, refinement and
piety. Mr.. Robinson was elected TO the
legislature in 1880, and after serving his
term was appointed state commissioner OF
immigration and agriculture, which posi-
ton ne held for several years, afterward re-
turning to the work of the ministry. HIS
death leaves a void in the church and com
munlty which will long be felt.

haps fatal burning Of Mrs. F. NJ. Cooper,

the flame. Every doctor In both towns has
been summoned to her bedside.

In passing Judge Graham's place, called to

seQuently the mail rider, who gave the first

SEEKERS AFTER ORANGES.
The country is being overrun with orange
buyers. Manatee oranges are always the
first In market. Having no frost, our trees
blossom In February. at least month ahead
OF those in East Florida, and as a con-
sequence the fruit natures just that much
| sooner. Thousands Of boxes have been
sold, but many are holding for higher
prices as the crop is 30 short.
Swell the primaries politics have simmered
down and we hear absolutely nothing about
the third party. 1t may be only sleepi ng,
but most people think 1t is dead and are
making ready to bury it on Nov. g. From
present indications the funeral will not be
very largely attended by its friends.
The A. G. L railroad having passed
under the control of a new company will
soon renew operatiops-as a Consequence
railroad stock and Braideatown dirt have
gone on a boom together.
