William Reyes who lives in the Moutrie
| neighborhood, a few miles south OF St. Angus
| tine, makes 800 year out OF eight scupper
| nong grape vines. This grape is native of
| Florida and grows withflittle or no care. II
| has thick, tough skin but a most delicious
| pulp. From the fruit OF these eight vines Mr.
| Reyes gets about $40 gallons OF wine every
| year, the wine bringing him from 81 to 81 q
| per gallon in st Augustine-or an average OF
| $3.50 net for the crop He raises his own cane
| and 'grinds' his own sugar, so that the cost
| Of that Ingredient is reduced to a minimum;
| and all other items Of expense or labor will
| not aggregate over 100; this leaves a clear
| profit of 1900 from the eight vines, not count
| ing the many bushels OF grapes that are eaten
| by the family or given away. Besides the ma
| tive scuppernong grape the growers In lower
| ST. Johns county cultivate half dozen other
fine varieties for the northern markets and
| for wine, There are now nearly 300 acres in
| grapes IN and around Moultcte.
| There was a case before the police court at
| Orlando Monday which had foundation for
a sensation behind It, None OF the inside
| facts were brought out on the trial; but Il is
| possible that the matter may yet prove Sc
| riOus. There were TWO cases, one for assault
| against one party and one for carrying con
| cealed weapons against the other. The mar
| who assaulted the other took pistol from his
| antagonist and then punished him somewhat
! severely, after which he took the weapon tC
an officer and surrendered himself for dis
| turbing the peace. Both men pleaded guilty
| so there was no testimony in court. But il
seems that the man who "toted the gun haC
| been writing rather ELUSIVE letters to the
| other mans wife. These she turned over Il
| her husband, who sought out the lothario anC
| took his gun away from him and then pro
ceeded to administer punishment. There il
| talk of taking the matter into y higher court
| In this case, the writer OF the letters threat
| ems to try to blast the reputation of the lady
