Orange Blossoms from Florida.

Yes we have them here. The trees
are beginning to bud; and now and
then you can see full blown blossom.
Don't think our fruit is gone, for it
isn't. On the same tree with the buds
hang the rich yellow fruit. Though,
with US, the oranges will soon be a
fruit of the past. But we are not with
out fruit. The japanese plum is now
ripe, and peaches are as large as your
thumb.
We ,Floridians flare sumptuously
every day." have vegetables, fruits
and flowers all the year round. This IS
truly a tine country; good people and
good land.
We have just returned from Live
Oak Academy where we attended the
closing exercises of the school taught
by one Of our best young men, Mr.. +.
C. Witt. The day was gloomy, but
large crowd assembled to show the
high esteem in which our teacher is
held. The examination was good,
showing that teacher and pupils were
faithful to their work. The speeches,
dialogues and music did credit to all.
Mr.. Joe Feagle, Rev. w. A. Julian and
Rev. Inman delivered interesting ad-
dresses on education, in the order
given. At the close Of the exercises
Mr.. Wi t, our teacher, made touch
ing farewell address to pupils, patrons
and friends. He will leave US Monday,
26th inst, for NeT5erry College, where
he will prepare for the ministry. He
will not only be missed in the school
room, but in the church and Sunday
school. He was our superintendent
and teacher Of the first Bible class, was
always faithful to attend his duties.
We wish him success in his under
takings and hope our Newberry friends
will be friends to him.
We are having nice spring weather.
Some days are more like summer than
spring, yet we have some right cold
days, enough to make US draw our
chairs near the fire and think of snow
and ice.
A friend kindly sent US a copy of
your paper which we received tals
evening. 1t received welcome rarely
given to newspapers. Each one wanted
to see something from New berry and
of course we all wanted it first.
There, We have staid long enough
for this time. If We escape the waste
basket, we will come again.

Bachma an Chapel and Union Academy Chips

Owing to the inclement weather
there was 10 preaching at the church
last Sunday evening.
Gillian has found his wife and they
are living about eight days out of a
week now.
In mentioning the officers elected at
Bachman chapel, in my last letter, the
name of J. J. Kinard, one of the dea-
GOES, was omitted by the typo. OF
course it was an inadvertent error,
therefore Mr.. Kinard will be satisfied
with this correction. :
I have always heard the old saying,
'just wait awhile, yoHr turn will come,
sure" We have been waiting for the
past ten years, and although we have
occasionally put in word showing tue
necessity for a bridge across Thinner
mans creek, on the Pomaria road be-
low the Epps' Hill, by some means or
ether the County Commissioners, here
tofo:e, have ignored this section. But
our present County Commissioners
have seen that we are a needy and de-
serving people, and so Commissioners
Aull and Shockley met at the ford IN
mention on Monday, the 18th instant,
and let out a contract to build bridge
across said stream. The contract was
let to Mr.. James Richardson for $50 o..
The bridge is to be so feet long and TO
be completed by the 18th of May.
Thanks to you, friend Commission
ers, We have never asked for whole
loaf, but so lo2g as you give US a few Of
the crumbs we will not complain.
What is to become of our people, po-
litica!ly, God only knows. 1t seems
that it has got to be perfect bel! or
earth over the Dispt nsary law. We
| will still have but little to say upon
the subject. There are some features
I in the law that We like and some that
we dislike. But, taking the thing as
whole, we cannot afford {" swap the
Dispensary law for the old barraon
system. But, in short, dear people, II
our government is to be run according
to the liquor plan, I only say, Coo
have mercy upon US as whole people

the head of his classes. In 1881 he en-
tered the preparatory department OF
Newberry College, and graduated from
that institution in 1856, graduating

In 1887 Mr.. Henry entered theTheologl-
cal Department of Vanderbilt Univer"
sitv, Nashville, Tenn. At this cele-
brated school be remained two years,
and won for himself distinction as
student. In the vacation of 1883 he

Counties, Tenn. In 1889 he was ap-
pointed by Bishop Hargrove to the
church at ThibodauX, where he served
till conference, aud was then sent to
Morgan City, La.

lana Conference, aid the members OF
that body received him gladly and with
open arms. In the same year he was

dent.

REDLANDS.

A Gang of Robbers Unearthed-Bear
Valley Company Affairs.
REDLANDs, Jan. 13.-As the time
elapses it is becoming evident that the
percentage of fruit damaged by the
recent frost is small. 1t is too early as
yet to make any careful estimate OF per.
centage, but certainly it is not above 5
per cent.
The detection of the Ritchie caiion
gang of thieves and the recovery of a
large amount of stolen property is a
matter for congratulation. It seems
that for years this gang has occupied
that obscure canon without any visible
means of support. and has got susie
nance from systematic raids on the peo-
pie of Redlands, San Bernardino,
Cotton, Riverside and other towns.
Nor were they particular what they
took. Among the plunder discovered
were live hogs, bedding, harness, sacks
of grain. silverware, carpenters tools,
watches, etc. 1t is believed. too. that
evidence ia in hand to convict
parties of at least three cases
OF arson, buildings having been set on
fire to cover thefts committed. 1t seems
incredible that so much stealing has
been done without discovery. 1t is not
yet known how many members there
are to the gang, but it is evident that
there were at least dozen members.
Mr.. A. @. Chittenden of Marshall,
Mimi, is planning to build business
block in Redlands, and rumor connects
his name with project to establish a
new bank. He is very wealthy gen.
tleman and already has property inter-
ests here.
The directors of the Alessandro Irri.
CATION district are endeavoring to re-

ia to be hoped that nothing in the form
of personal strife will be allowed to fol.
low the affairs of the company into
the hands of the receiver. Every
citizen of this section is inter-
ested in the welfare Of the COM
pany, and great care should be exer-
cised to give all needed freedom of
action to those who are endeavoring
to unravel the snarl.
James Gardner Clark is at work pa
