Orlando Register: certain Irish
citizen of Winter Park shipped a lot of
fine peaches to Key West commission
merchant, and failing to get returns or
response to his letters of inquiry concern
ing his shipment was beginning to give
the lot up as gobbled by the aforesaid
merchant, when a happy thought struck
him. He Immediately wrote the COM
mission merchant: "Faix have another
foine lot of paChes coming on, shall | sind
We some wary day2" A quick answer
came back, enclosing check for the first
lot sent at good prices, and saying, Eyes,

to stop" The son of the Emerald Isle SAYS
he has a good lot of late peaches coming
on, but they will never be ripe enough to
send to the Key West broker. He CON
graduates himself with the reflection
that his little dodge brought him returns
that he would never have seen otherwise.
Braidenton Journal: More than thirty
years ago when this river first came into
public notice the great facilities offered
for obtaining three valuable articles of
commerce attracted the early settlers
sugar, cedar and cattle. The early
trade in these paid beautifully, but
the two former branches have in this day
disappeared entirely, and the cattle in
dustry is one of greatly reduced proper
tiOns. Vegetables, oranges and fish are
now our exports in tremendous quantities.
and we believe that the advance of years
will see these supplanted in great de-
gree by others of greater prominence.
A collision of governments re
suited in the destruction of
the sugar industry but its fortunate free
dom IRON frost will some day restore
South Florida to it's position as the great
sugar country of the United States in this
respect. Our county's mineral wealth is
constantly the subject of fresh discover
les Its great phosphate beds lying on
the shore of the south's greatest harbor
will not remain undistli~bed for very
long. Clays are found beneath it's soil of
the varieties which are choicestlto the
brick-maker, the potter and the painter
Lime of excellent quality only awaits the
building of furnaces to take its place in
| commerce. Future improvements in
| transportation will certainly find Manitee
! county among those most noted for min
eral wealth as well as the most prominent
! for fertility.
