LEMONS.
We have done somewhat better with
lemons during the past week although
prices continue low but we feel that it is
now perfectly safe to ship first-class
lemons. We do not want rusty or scaly
lemons they are not calculated to &C.
ment a very warm bond of friendship
between the grower and the seller, and
consumers will not take them at prices
that will even cover charges.
GRAPE FRUIT.
Demand for this fruit continues very
limited and we do not advise shipments.
Wait until it is little better matured.
ORANGES.
There is a growing demand for oranges
at most of the fruit centers and we'll
colOred oranges of favOrite sizes will sell
we'll. We consider the top price to be
about $3.50 to So for choice to fancy
brights, Of sizes 17G to 200. Some few
sales are reported as high as So. so to 1915
but these are exceptional cases and no
large lines will 60 so high.
Russets are not doing very well, as the
fruit is still too sour. Some lots in re-
cent sales did not pay charges. Ship
pers certainly should exercise more dis
erection in the selection of fruit for ship
ment. The appearance Of the russell or
ange initiates somewhat against it's sale
in many markets. but when added to
this, the fruit is green and sour it's pros
poets are still further reduced. Do not
ship green russets.
There is an increasing demand for
good sized bright Satsumas and prices
are quoted, 50. rs to $3.00per box.
No demand for Tangerines or Mandar-
ms as yet.
Thousands of "drops" and thorn
scratched fruit is now going forward and
unless this fruit is very carefully selected
and we'll packed, bills for freight will
result.
LIVERPOOL SHIPMENTS.
Up to date we have had five
sales in Liverpool. The averaged ranged

more than one car lot at time from any

We are limited as to the quantity of fruit

RussetS are not wanted and we can
offer no encouragement for them at pres

A Correction.
q AgriculturiSt:

Editor Florida Agriculturist:
l see a little error in my article on
Unjust Laws, has changed my meaning
and does injustice to the AGRICULTUR1sT.
In the clause relative to laws now on the
statute books as it now reads "are such
advertisements as the AGRICULTURIsT
would recommend" l intended the
word not should have come in there and
to read as the AGRICULTURIsT would not
recommend.

he was not to be found.

while the sheriff and -is posse pursued
the fugitive, others cared for the sick

Down in southwestern Texas, lust
about midway between Houston in the
east and Ell Paso in the west, and very
neal to the Rio Grande, the Southern
Pacific railway has built over the Pecos
river the highest bridge in the United
States. Indeed its height of three hun
dred and twenty feet is only exceeded
by two bridges in the world-one in
the Andes of Peru and the other in the
Himalaya mountains. just before this
bridge was finished one Of the work.
men fell from it and was of course
killed. The county judge was sum-
moned from Langtry, the town nearest
the bridge, to hold a ''crowner's quest
The judge arrived with a great con-
course of people, all anxious to serve
on the jury. Proceedings We're begun
by examining the body of the dead man.
Upon this were found a loaded revolver
and forty dollars in cash. Perceiving
these the judge said:
There amt nothing to do about this
case, gentlemen of the jury. The mans
dead, and it's perfectly plain how he
met his death. But what I want to
know is, what was he doing with that
gun? That's agin the laws of Texas.
He amt here to explain, but because a
man takes it into his head to put on
wings and mount to the skies is no
reason why the great state of Texas
should be defrauded. Law is law and
justice is justice. l fine him forty dol

The final arrangements had been
hardly made when a newcomer entered
the store breathless and excited, with
the astounding announcement that a
dead man was lying On jeremiah Law
sons grave.
Even in this emergency the squire
proved himself equal to the occasion,
and after proposing to visit the scene at
once he suggested. las this is a solemn
proceeding in which it would seem that

Parson Venerable to go with u.s."
The others gladly agreed to this plan,
the more superstitious believing that
the presence of the mar of God would
condone for whatever untitness there
might be in this nocturnal meddling
with affairs they could not understand.
Accordingly the anxious party moved
swiftly, yet silently, toward the sacred
spot, led by their spiritual adviser,
whose thin hands were clasped nervous

lected to take with him. while his gaze
was turned alternately upward in rev.

The last mentioned was Reuben Fal-
coner, who at sight of the unexpected
procession started up with alarm, and
he would have fled the place but for
Squire Almont's stentorian command to
remain.
What do you want of me?" de-
manded the startled man.
Pray what business have you on this
hallowed ground and at this unseenly
hour?' asked the parson. who felt in
duty bound to say something.
Il calculate my errand here is as
