The Fruit Stores.

Editor MORNING News: 1t is curious
to note that all of the parties indicted by
the grand jury of the city court for viola
tons of the Sunday laws are proprietors
Of fruit stores. No attempt, it seems, has
been made to stop drugs stores from sell
ing the differnt articles of merchandise
other than necessary medicines, which
they usually keep in stock and for which
they are glad TO find customers even on
the Sabbath day. What is the difference
between the two classes, under the law,
that such a distinction is made2 No law
can be enforced against public sentiment
in this free country and in spite of the
accidental conviction Of fruit dealer
last summer and his imprisonment in Jail
for six months for selling peanuts on
Sunday, think it will be hard to find ga
jury to convict another one on such
charge with the chance of so severe a
sentence being imposed, the mayor 10 the
contrary Notwithstanding. The fruit
dealers in this city are American
citizens and taxpayers and should not be
uniustly Disseminated against.

A Florida Snake Story.

balance Of my days. All around La xe Worth

RATHER As numerous as they are now thew
are not half as abundant as they we're a few
years ago before any organized effort was
made TO annihilate the whole serpentine
breed.
1T seems that a bright Tdea, involving the
wholesale extinction Of snakes, entered the
mind of William Jones who, up to that time
had been poor farmer struggling 10 support
big family. Now he is one of Inc solid men
OF the county, and he made all his money ~
the successful execution OF that idea. Re
knew that the ordinary razor back hog Of
Florida was great natural enemy Of snakes,
and he set to work to Systematically train a
whole drove OF hogs TO hunt down and de
stroy the reptiles. In little while he had
his swine as thoroughly trained in their part
as setter dogs are drilled 70 point quail lie
first cleared his own farm OF vast quantity
of big ones and then he Logan TO hire out his
hogs 10 his nelghJOrS who were snake
afiicted. The fame Of those razor backs
spread all over the land. and people whose
places were infested with rattiesnakes and
men who were clearing up new land sent for
Jones hogs.

Jones himself and he told me all about It.

also contained a record OF all the snakes slain
for the last twelve months. have every
reason TO believe he was stating the facts,
for he gave me warm invitation to visit
that would demonstrate the skill Of his snake
