COLD FACTS AND FIGURES GATHERED BY
A PROMINENT BOARD OF TRADE MAN
AND COMPETENT AUTHORITATIVE IN
DUSTRY ONLY IN ITS INFANCY.

AT the request Of member of the
board of trade have made tour among
the farmers in our county for the sole
purpose OF getting the exact acreage
planted. Knowing you have at heart the
good of the county in general, Mr.. Editor
take this opportunity of giving you
facts which are open to proof from rec
ords kept by our efficient board of trade.
Our farmers all plant the second years
seed of pure Vuelta Abajo tobacco, and,
you will notice, plant in small quantities,
thereby ensuring more wrappers because
each one is enabled to give his small acre
age the best of attention. Those who
have from 10 to 81 acres have passed the
experimental stage, gained the expert
ence and are now making the tobacco
crop the crop of the year. They are all
men who have made a success of farming
heretofore and have now gone into to-
bacco raising, having proved it to be pre-
eminently the money crop for this sec
ton. l take pleasure in handing you
herewith a list of growers who are now
housing their crops This total of 420
acres will yield at least 100, 600 pounds Of
tobacco, which at 25 cents per pound will
bring into the county some $40, 900.
Many farmers will cure from 500 to 700
pounds per acre, and secure at least SO
per cent. of wrappers, which can readily
be sold at 40 cents per pound. We can
easily figure on $4,000 pounds wrappers
at 40 cents, say S32, 600; $4,000 pounds
filters at 25 cents, $4,000; and count on
getting S52 900 for Leon county's crop
this year.
1t has been shown by several years ex-
perimental growing that we can raise TO-
bacco possessing oil, aroma and burning
qualities equal to that raised in Cuba, and
there is no longer any reason for timidity
on the part of the handlers of cigar to-
bacco leaf. The board ef kradoof Taila--
hassee will be happy TO give all buyers or
packers any information they may want,
and do much to aid them in establishing
themselves in business here.

mOrs current is a tale which credits
the might doctors" with a diabolical
scheme whereby rope is lowered
from upper windows, with a crap
pling attachment, by means of which
passers by are drawn up into the dens
of the unknown terror.
Some medical students amused
themselves the other night with a
colored man, who came with a mes
sage to some one in the college. The
messenger stood in the middle of the
street, calling loudly for the object
of his visit.

down the sidewalk and began to ex-

to surround the enemy.

yell of terror which might have
aroused the sleepers of Congressional

darkness like a comet with a tail of

She was nice girl, " remarked J.

Her superfiuity of knowledge on

ton of returning the same. 1t came

call her that simply to disguise her

months ago to experiment in foricul-
ture. She had an idea of grating
night blooming radish on a chrysan-
themum stalk, or something of that
kind, and she turned the bay window
of the second floor into an infant con-
servatory.
The slight affection which she
formerly prOfessed to entertain for
me gradually shifted to the measly
collection of stunps and sprigs
which filled this apartment, and
when we were together her side of
the conversation was generally COM

A White Dinner.

It was white dinner and was
given in honor of the brides home
coming. The snowy tablecloth of
exquisite finenesS was a mass of deli
cate hemstitching and silken tracery.
The long white satin scarf was ex-
ceedingly ornate with its heavily
embroidered and fringed ends and
its center piece of mirrors, ferns and
white lilies, representing a miniature
lake upon whose smooth bosom
peacefully reposed two majestic
white swans. The table service of pur-
est white china, most delicately frost
ed silver and finest Venetian glass
ware, together with the snowy flow
ers, cleaned in the incandescent
lights above like the moon silvered
crystals of a winters night.
The menu, prepared by a cele-
brated French chef, was as nearly
white as the incorrigibility of certain
colors could be made to submit to
gastronomic ingenuity. The menu
cards were fairly dreams of white
and silver, and might have been de-
signed for that memorable night
when Lucullus dined with Lucullus.
The bride wore the ravishing vesture
of her bridal-a Partisan develop
ment of rich ivory satin, with foamy
cascades of rare old lace and garni-
ture of almost priceless pearls. In
Difference to the artistic idea of the
dinner the younger ladies were
gowned in white and the elder in sill
yer grays and pale lavenders. The
color line was only drawn at the
clawhammers of the gentlemen and
the compilations of the ebony faced
walters.
But why there? asks Philistine.
Since to be en- regle one must have
everything match, why not clothe
the gentlemen in white satin and
alabastine the walters? 1t seems
really sad to have one false note in
the harmony. Chicago Herald.

Jelly from Fruit Skins.

The very best of jelly can be made
of fruit skins and cores, such as are
usually thrown away. There is more
gelatinous matter around the core
and skin of all fruit than in any
other part. The skin of peaches, with
a few pits added, boiled in as little
water as possible, strained and made
up with sugar, pint for pound, yields
a most delicious red jelly. Adelight-
full jelly may even be made of apple
skins and cores, though it is improved
in flavor and jellies more easily if a
small quantity of the cores and skins
of ounces are added to it. A very
excellent jelly is made of grape skins
and s-aince ziSilspils S-.lsal fl'lslll-
titles. Pear skins contain less gelat-
nous matter than any other fruits,
but if used in connection with ounce
skins will make fair jelly.-Wash-

Improved nrethods of rontnnds.

''In former days the tool of high.
wayman consisted of an ordinary
sandbag or billy" said Chief of De-
tectives Desmond. Armed with this
weapon the footpad would lay in
wait in some dark alley, pick out a
belated traveller, and as he came by
step noiselessly up behind him. A
sharp blow on the head settled mat
ters, and the rObber would search
his victim at his leisure. The sand
bag was too unhandy to carry, and
it often led to the capture of danger
Gus criminals.
Nowadays foOtpads travel by
threes. They will walk up the street
together and a victim is selected as
he comes along. The garroters will
walk in front of him until a dark
corner is reached, and then purpose
ly make room for him to pass. The
pedestrian will in nine cases out of
ten take the bait and attempt to
hurry by. As he does so the tallest
of the three will throw his arm
around the victims throat and force
him backward. A second man will
deliver a quick blow in the stomach
which settles the traveller, and the
third man does the searching. So
quickly is the work done that the
victim seldom gets time to get de-
scription of his assailants. st. Louis

Spaniels, of which there are many
breeds, are supposed to have first
come from Spain, from which cir
cumstance is derived their distinctive
name. Charles l was an ardent adj
mirer of a small variety of this ami

ton of his pets, known the world over

How the soft pulsing of the harmony
Wrought in our hearts and drew our hands to-

Glowed like tropic shell, and in her eye

Turned toward us, rapt as though the voice of

Were singing with her; but she gazed on us
And sang to us, unconscious, DER the rest.

From the great harmony, yet calling to it,
And clinging near and Complying it,
