A Convention of Orange Growers
Held at Ocala,


OCALA, FLA, Feb. 10.-A. NJ. William
son, editor Of the Citrus County Phosphate
Field, called a convention Of orange grow
ers to convene in Ocala yesterday to
organize sell at home produce company"
There was quite an assemblage Of local
growers and interested parties. DIR. S. w.
Moody was made chairman and H. j.. An
derson was elected secretary. Col. Eichel-
berger, H. w. Long, S. W. league and Mr..
Williamson were appointed a committees on
permanent organization, to which John
Dunn and D. c. w. Smith were added. A
future meeting will name leading orange
growers of Marion and adjacent counties
on its board of directors.
STATE ORGANIZATION FAVORED.
d. c. w. Smith favored an organization
to include the state, the members of which
would pledge themselves TO let their fruit
rot on the trees rather than pursue the
suicidal policy of consigning to commission
houses.
Messrs. Smith. Williamson and Dunn were
appointed to draft suitable circular letter
inviting all the orange growers in the state
to meet in Ocala at an early date to perfect
such an organization as such persons would
deem requisite for their protection.
Pending the report of the committee the
meeting adjourned to meet in Ocala next
week. The date has not been fixed yet.

KIssIMMEE. FLA, Feb. 10.-The steamer
City of Athens left on Feb. 8 for her first
trip through to Fort Myers and return
with a good cargo of freight and quite a
list of passengers.
Our hotels and boarding houses are fill
ing up.
Large numbers Of fish are being caught
in the lakes.
Our water front presents quite "A busy
appearance with the rice mill. sawcmill, ice
factory and bottllng works running, to say

Several sales of land have been made re-
Gently to actual settlers
The st. Cloud sugar mill has closed down
after grinding up and disposing of very
satisfactory crop.
With the exception of a few cases of the
grip the health in town is good.
The Florida Midland Railway Companv
Will extend their road to the edge of Lake
Tohopzelaga as soon as the iron arrives
from New York.
The continued agitation in the papers of
shat back number issued in Florida of Coli
or anti-Call is amusing. One not CONVEX
SAINT with the situation would suppose that
the entire state was composed of Calltes
and antt-Callites. This is an issue passed
long since out OF the control Of the Florida
democracy. What's the matter with uniting
on some young, able, fearless democrat, free
from geographical, Coll or anti Call, ring or
anti-r1ng, or any other objection, to fill
acceptably the Office Of governor? And il
the convention Is representative, and no
doubt 1t will be, see IL it don't find the man,
II he does nqF offer himself sooner.

GETTING RID OF pAUPERs.

Suwannee county has an ingenious plan
of getting rid Of paupers. An aged and
obese negress arrived on the Florida Cen
trail and Peniusular train from Live Oak
this morning and went in search OF the
poor house. She was questioned by the
authorities and was reticent at first. Fin
ally it leaked out that one Of the county
commissioners of Suwannee county had
given her a ticket to Jacksonville, which
she said. he had informed her
called for "frst-class Judgement"
This latter she didn't find, and was dis
gsted in consequence. A ticket was bought
and she was sent whence she came. Such
jokes on Duval county are getting to be
quite common
