Prof F. B. Noodle OF Columbia county
was in Leon county the other day, says the
Tallahassee Floridid1l, with some tobacco
buyers from the west and east. Some very
satisfactory sales have been made through
his instrumentaliUy. On Sunday last Miles
Ii. johnson, who lives about six miles from
Tallahassee, sold his entire crop from his
seven acres at As cents per pound. Mr..
Johnson estimates his crop at fully 5000
pounds, which will give him the snug sum
of z. $50, or 1920 per acre. The sale was
made upon samples placed side by side with
Gadsden county tobacco, and the fact that
his tobacco took the preference speaks well

Jacksonville Metropolis: In 1874 this
city was all torn up politically on the may
crafty, which was being run by two repub-
licans, J. c. Greeley and Peter Jones. One
represented true republication" and the
other "the machine" Just which was which

fight between two wings of the Republican
party, the democrats not being in it. The
old Florida Union whooped 'em up for
Jones. and the Florida Republican, pub
lished then by G. w. Blew, bolstered up
Greeley. The fight was a hot one i,

democrats had to vote either for
Greeley or for Jones or take to the woods,
as they were in such big minority, that
they had no show whatever for running a
democrat However, each aldermanio
ticket was made up of all sorts and condi-
tions OF politics, and in order to catch the
democratic vote both Jones and Greeley put
| democrats on their tickets BY judloious
scratching the ticket showed up an intelli-
gent board of aldermen, three-fourths Of
which we're democrats. The democrats hav-
ing succeeded in ousting the republicans, we
see to-day "a similar feature inside the
Democratic party, each wing claiming to
represent the real article The two wings
OF the Republican party gave a few flaps
and the e. O. p. flew away. Let us hope
that the Democratic party will not be SO
scared by its two wings.
