/ hurried to the house and, upon entering,

few weeks ago the stockmen Of volu-
STA county organized themselves into an
/ association for their mutual protection
/ against the railroads. They employed Col
l.. NJ. Miller as their attorney, to institute
/ suits in all cases where the interests of
| the stockmen demanded it. Col. Miller
! mad several thousand blanks printed, to
/ be used by the stockmen in fling their
| claims against the roads. They held their
/ second monthly meeting at DeLand Thurs
day, and it proved to be a very lively one
! too A very large number of members
] present q 4 al
! by the association, Col Miller was in
/ structed to bring criminal prosecutions
! against all employees of the roads who
! violate the law and was given a large
number of claims for suits for stock
| Killed. But the sensational part of the
meeting was the presentation and unani-
| nous adoption of a resolution expelling c.
/ o. Codrington, the editor of the DeLand

! adopted the Volusia County Record as
| their organ.
! The holders of old issue of sanitary i'm
! provement bonds of the city of jackson
! Vile gain nothing by holding on to these
! bonds, as they win receive no interest on
/ the bonds after the date they were called
/ in. Some of these bonds have evidently
! been lost or destroyed as there is no
| record of coupons of some of them being
| presented for collection of interest for
| several years. One bond of the face value
! does not care for the interest, as no cou-
! pons off this bond have been presented
| during the past ten years. Due notice
| has been given time and again that the
| city was ready to take up these bonds
| whenever presented, and that no interest
| will be allowed after they are called in.
Inc c1tyS representatives in New York
| have redeemed a large amount of the
| bonds, and several thousand dollars worth
| have been redeemed by the city treasurer
| but there are still some outstanding that
! should be presented for redemption at
| once.

after discussing the matter thoroughly it
| was decided that the price should be set
at 81 per box on the tree for prime to good

| for fancy. Those present declared their
intention to ship to the Fruit Exchange

| A number Of the merchants of Gaines
| vile were highly indignant Friday when
| they We're arrested for doing business
| without a license. They did not hesitate
| to express themselves freely, or to cen
sure the county court, which is in session
there. The county solicitor filed bills
| of information against five merchants,
and at least ten more expected similar
| treatment. For years past merchants
have been in the habit of paying their Ii
cense tax between Oct. and TO- contrary
| to the law, which requires a license to be
procured for any business on Oct. l. No
| complaints have been entered against
! them heretofore, and they felt perfectly
| secure this year with their receipts tackled
| upon the wall, little dreaming that they
would be held to account for not having
paid it upon the LIST. Some of the cases
| have been nolle pressed. while the re-
| msinder have been dismissed upon pay
| ment of cost of prosecution. The costs
