Mr. Carlisle had little to say for his
early Christmases. In fact, sad as the
truth is, in the interest of history, it
must be recorded that John G. Carlisle
had no Christmases at ALL
As the son of a small farmer, he had TO

of hentOn county were very poor in those
days, and the Carlisle family were in no
better situation than were the majority.

CHRISTMAS IN ALABAMA.
Many of MIR. Cleveland's cabinet had
merry Christmases when boys. Hillary
A. Herbert, the Secretary of the Navy,
whose home is at Montgomery, was born
IN Laurensville, S. c., and is now about
% years of age He early moved with
his fathers family to GreenvilIe, Butler
county, Alabama. He is, as a cabinet
officer, very busy, and very difficult to
meet; but when l limited TO him that
would like to know about his early Christ
mas, he gave me all the time wanted.
Never shall ! forget the positive de-
light, the tenderness and the feeling with
which Mr.. Herbert spoke of his youthful
Christmases down in Alabama.
MY father" he said, ''owned large
plantation outside of Greenville, and it
was here that we used to hold our cele-
0rations. The occasion was one unending
round of pleasure, not for day, but for
week. All the slaves we had about
thirty in those days-used to join in the
merrymaking; and l can truthfully say

If necessary; say anything you please; it
won't do any good; it perhaps will do no

For the sake of the truth Of history,
TRUST that young Mr.. Carlisle may live
long enough to find that even a humble
newspaper man is not without a sense of
the dignity of his profession. l am very
sorry that Mr.. Carlisle had no Christ
masses when a boy; but even the fact that
he had none will be of great general inter

THE GREATNESS OF FLORIDA.

During the session of the Agric ultural
congress at Chicago recently, Mr.. Wash
burn of Florida being called upon for
few remarks on the tropical fruits of
this State, said: 81 have travelled over
twenty-five States and Canada and | must
say that think the people of the United
States know very little about Florida.
One reason why it is not more widely
known is on account of the fact that the
Seminole Indians were bar to settle
ment for $50 years. 1t is true we have
swamps, and we have the everglades, but
there is no malaria in the country;and we
have less sickness there than in any pOr-
tion Of the United States. A year ago
last January | planted potatoes upon
some of our poor land and raised 220
bushels to the acre and sold them at So
a bushel. In February planted water
melons and took off large crop. In
Nav planted the land with sweet pota-
toes. and | took off 500 bushels of sweet
potatoes as good as ever grew in the
world, | think. So you see that we can
raise two or three crops in a year and
that it pays us to fertilize the land. A
family can live on an acre of ground in the

TYSEN'S PROFITABLE FARM.

Mr.. j. r.. Tysen, of Jacksonville, one
of the leading wholesale grocery mer-
chants of the State, contributes an inter-
esting chapter to the current issue of
Florida Life, about what he knows con-
corning Florida farming. The article is
most readable one and points moral
to the farmers of Florida-this same
moral has been pointed and hurled at
these same people many thousand times
during recent yours, but as Mr.. Tysen
emphasizes the moral with statement
that he quit farming and went into the
business of selling his cO-lab orerS mater
ial which they could and should have
raised on their own land, we trust that
they will pay more attention and profit
by it,
Mr. Tysen tells how he commenced
farming and the hardships he had. He
purchased a fine place on the St. Johns
River nineteen years ago, which con-
tanned a long wharf, "around which the
black bass gam boiled in their innocent
glee." etc. He built fine barn and
stocked his farm. He then recounts his
trials and his hardships which termi-
mated in his going to Jacksonville and
opening his grocery store. In conclusion
he says:
Since that time have quit direct farming and
gone into partnership with the farmers and am
supplying their commissaries. I am furnishing
them with sugar raised in France and the West
Indies, although we have whole counties OF the
best sugar lands in the world. procure them
car loads of canned fish from Alaska and Oregon
although our waters TEEN with equally as good
fish which when canned can hardly be told from
their salmon. sell them thousands OF pounds
of sailed and canned meats from Chicago
and Kansas, although we have hundreds OF miles
of the finest grazing lands in the world and hogs
will get hogfat on the pine mast in the woods. I
get them thousands of cases of tomatoes canned
in Maryland, al hough tons and tons of them rot
on the vines in Florida. They pay me for hun
dreds of cases of oysters and clans canned in
Baltimore. although the bays and estuaries are
full OF them of most excellent flavor. l even sup
ply them with pineapples canned in the Ber
mudas. AS for hay and grain do declare have
made money enough out of them to pay for that
old farm was beguied into experimenting with
ten times over. Why do they not raise their own
fodder? A thrifty colored man at Orange Park
keeps mine and several other families supplied
with nice fresh butter yet sell thousands of tubs
yearly, bought in New York and Illinois, and Of
ten wonder why they don't make their own but
ter as easily as that colored man does.
