LoNGwOoD's NEW DEPOT.
Several Sundays ago, the passenger
and freight depot at Longwood, on the
South Florida division of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway, was
destroyed by fire and nearly everything
except the Office furniture lost The
ire caught from a passing locomo-
tive, and as no one was in the building at
the time, the flames spread rapidly. 1t
was only by heroic work OF the citizens
and favorable wind that the business
part of the town was saved. Today the
carpenters started in to erect handsome
new depot on the site of the one destroyed,
and the patrons of the road, as well as
the citizens generally, are highly de-
hghted with the proposed improvement,
and think it will give new life to the
town. With a new depot, new post
master, a new pastor drew. George w.
Hardaway, of Georgia) at the Congrega-
tional church, there is a general feeling
of newness abroad in the atmosphere.
BETTER STREETS AND ROADS.
Orlando and Sanford were among the
first of the smaller cities to go into the
street paving movement with clay, sand
and shells, and their worthy example has
been followed by a score of lesser cities,
the last to move being Maitland. Two
large citizens meetings were held at the
lockwood opera house, with Rev. DR.. s.
V. McCorkle as chairman and Mayor Sid
ney Herbert as secretary, and after full
discussion of the subject by leading prop
erty owners. the report of a special com
mittee, consisting of c. H Hall, William
Willett, S. n. Bronson, George T. Stith
and E. Turner, was adopted, requesting
the city council to order an election for
the issue Of s., 600 worth of bonds to help
out the movement to clay the streets in
the center of the city and put pine straw
on the suburban roads. The business of
the city has been immense this winter,
and the demand for better streets is i'm
parative.
A Scraps Book-We advise our readers
most earnestly to keep a scrap book Few
keep files OF papers and magazines intact
for future reference, and we do not think
IL advisable 10 90 so. AL une same Time
there are many items Of interest you may
wish to preserve The fruit culturist
should never let any fact pertinent to
his business get beyond his reach, and it
is not possible to carry all that ought to
be remembered in ones head. The same
is true with the amateur florist or
gardener. Either may want to prepare
some formula that was highly
spoken of at the Institute" and
printed in nearly every paper,
local or special. But when the same
is needed, we do not know whether
it is five pounds of the one and two pounds
of the other, or the reverse, for the re-
quired mixture. 1t is therefore highly
important TO have these little facts pre-
served, and the best possible way is to
get a scrap book, good one, too, and in
it carefully paste such items as will some
times be of Importance. DO not preserve
some ones sentiment or imagination, but
solid facts that you may want to apply at
any time. Then you will need an index
hook, so the subjects presel we'd can be
recorded in alphabetical order. This will
email Bile you to find just what you want in
less than a minute. One half dozen
scrap hooks are the most valuable part of
our library.
