find the opinion pretty general that
there is to be a very severe winter at the
north and west, and that we are yet to
have more bad weather here. Quite a
large number Of winter residents in this
county have already announced their
early coming and that there will probably
be a crowd behind them. Rev ri h.
Hicks, the famous St. Louis weather
prophet, insists that we are to have
another cold winter in Florida, and that
at the north and out west IL will be very
severe, commencing early and lingering
late in the lap of spring. If this be
true the hotels of Savannah as well as of
Florida viii reap q fine harvest. The st.
James, Windsor and Everett, at Jackson
vile, the Putnam, at Palatka, the Alta
monte, here, the Seminole, at Winter
Park and the famous Tampa Bay,
at Tampa, are preparing Tor
an early rush and a steady
one. Manager j. II. King, the popular
and efficient assistant 10 President Plant

preparing to open the Tampa Bay hotel
month earlier than usual, and with the
addition Of thirty new rooms Nearly
hundred bed rooms were added last year
and yet there was a continuous overflow
of guests. Everything indicates that
Florida hotels and boarding houses will
be well filled this winter and that our
usual winter residents will come earlier
and stay later Bishop Whipple of Min
nesota, is already on his way, having suf-
fered severely this spring by too early
return to his far off summer home. Mrs.
Halt of Ishpeming, Mich, left her elegant
winter home at Maitland in May only to
find her Michigan home covered with
snow, which gave her a severe relapse.
Unless a general wave of financial de-
preston sweeps over the country, the
coming winter bids fair to be prosper

auge crop has dwindled very much, there
is chance for better prices for the
ripened fruit about Christmas. The re-
cent storm, added to the previous one,
has made great deal of work for the
mechanics and laborers, and a big crowd
of visitors will keep the mechanics, Gv-
cry stable keepers, etc, pretty busy. All
about here the signs Of the times are ia
vOrable for an early and brisk opening of
business. Manager II. w. Priest of the

Abbeville, Ca. Oct 1.-THE Little
River Baptist Association, which con-
vened last Friday at Midway church,
near Rochelle, adjourned sine die yes
terday. There was a large attendance,
and good sermons were delivered daily
The most notable feature of the associa-
ton was the expulsion of the Pine City and
Pine View churches from the association,
which resulted from the adoption of the
doctrine of sanctification by said
churches, which the organization declares
to be antagonistic to the orthodox Bap-
fist faith.

There Is now on exhibition in the Peun-

the Worlds Fair the largest check ever
drawn in the United States. It's face
value is 14,949.O52 20. II was drawn

Commerce of New York by the PennsyI-
vania Railroad Company in favor of Kid

it is similar to any ordinary check, save
as to nsatness, in which it Is lacking.

Some detail of the provision made by the
Southern States for their poor and dis
abled veterans will lie interesting. 1t Is
not generally known that all the Confed-
crate States either grant pensions to or
have homes for Confederate soldiers. The
total number of pensioners and inmates of
homes in all these States-Alabama, Geor-
gia, Florida, Louisiana. Mississippi. North
Carolina. South Carolina, Tennessee, Texas
and Virginia-is 27.C55. and the amount
paid annually in pensions and the mainte-
nance of homes is about 81, ,126. 736. There
are also Confederate homes in Maryland
and Missouri with 270 inmates. which were
maintained last year at a total cost for the
two States OF $4,000. This sum included
improvements made during the year. The
regulations and methods vary so materially
in the different States that it has been
found impossible properly to classify the
payments.
Georgia heads the list Of single States.
having paid last year S445, 900 to 7400 pen

5000 veterans, and S260,000 to 1900 widows.
The State hasla soldiers home, situated on
a tract of 1l9 acres of land. which was

NAVAL RESERVES.
Fred III. Stable Elected
Commander.
Everything Passed Off Harmonic
ousiy-The Choice Made
Unanimous.

The officers of the four companies COM
prising the California Battalion of Naval
Reserves met at the rooms Of Company G
in California Hall last night for the pur-
pose of selecting successor to Lieutenant
Commander G. ID. Goodall, resigned.
Three companies in this city and one In
San Diego comprise the battalion. and this
is the third time in two years that An cleo
ton has been held TO fill this position.
The proceedings last night occupied but
little time. and were of an unexpectedly
harmonious nature.
Lieutenant Simpson nominated Lieuten-
ant e. II. Crocker and Lieutenant Schmie-
der placed the name of Ordnance Officer
Fred II. Stable before the battalion, the
two nominations being seconded respect
lively by Lieutenant Burke and Lieutenant
ST. John.
The ballot resulted 10 IA votes being
cast, of which Stable received and
Croeker 6. and the election of the former
as lieutenant commander was Immediately
made unanimous.
The new commander is graduate of the
United States Naval Academy al Annapo-
lis, of the class of 'S2, and has had the
benefit of seven years training aboard
various men-of-war. He first Joined tha
naval reserves as a seaman in Company c,
and was subsequently appointed surgeon
with the rank of ensign by Lieutenant
Commander Chandler. He was next
elected lieutenant, junior grade. of Com
pany G, and was selected for ordnance
officer by Lieutenant-Commander Goodall.
He is rising young physician and stands
high in the esteem of all members Of The

The election of Mr.. Stable was appar-
emily due In great measure to the naval
training he has received in The service, as
many Of the officers thought this TO be the
chief point OF merit in which any distinc-
ton could be made between him and his
competitor. and the gentlemen who urged
his election did not fail to work the point
