The Welaka correspondent of the
PaIatka Herald writes as follows. "Or-
ange trees are looking we'll In this section.
The frost did very little damage. Those
trees that were hurt are putting out a
second bloom. Should we have a little rain
now it would counterbalance the effects OF
the cold. SO far, the old adage that April
showers make May flowers will not prove
true"
The residence of Mrs. Rosignol on Oak
street, Palatka, was consumed by fire few
days ago. The fire is supposed to have
originated from a defective flue in the
kitchen, 1t was one Of the oldest buildings
in the city, and burned rapidly, doubtless
owing to the dry weather. The residence
was insured for 5000. Most of the furniture,
ana bedding was saved, LncuRG damaged by
water and rough handling.
"It has been estimated" says the Tropi-
| cal Florida, that there is 10 this state 35O,-
| 600, 600 tons of moss hanging on our trees.
This, when gathered and cured, ia worth
cents per pound at our doors If 1t Is worth
| | cent pound it would amount to the enor-
nous sum of 81, 000, 900. 1t is used for mat
| tresses and all kinds Of upholster work. The
| demand for it is constantly increasing We
were present recently when New York
manufacturer offered cents per pound for
| cured moss at the depot Of u neighboring
town. 10 may be interesting to know that

| when Florida should make the mattresses

| industry been carried on more extensivelyG
| Why do we not find moss gatherers, moss
cleaners, moss buyers all over the state9 No
| one can answer this question. 1t is some-
| thing one can't find out. 1t Is the want Of
capital, says one. All the capital required
| to begin with is a rake. We once saw in a
paper that the reason our moss was not
worked up was because capital was timid
| and hesitates about going into new coun-
tries and taking hold of new enterprises
This is all bosh, mere humbug!
| Capital is never timid. 1t
| is the most brazen, bare~faced
quality In the world. II man invents a
whirHgig to keep flies of bald pate he can
| IN an hour get all abundance Of capital to
| push its manufacture and sale. 1t has been
| said by those who ought to know that over
| Sl00, 900, 900 have been invested in our phos-
phate in the past two years. That don't
look as though capital was timid. No;
money is seeking out every nook and corner
for work, and why it has not taken the moss
business by the forelock is a problem we
must try to flud OUT"

A fashionable Philadelphia church has

tion collector. The idea OF this in
genious mechanism is derived from the
cash railway OF tho dry goods shop, but
it possesses certain original attachments

ber Of beautifully decorated little bas-
kets Of brass wire through the congre-
cation at collection time: each basket,
of course, following a different course,
and moving with soemnity and sedate-
ness. A famous Spanish scientist has

when check Is deposited-checks gen-
orally being for larger sums than S2O-a

will proclaim the event throughout tho
