necessary to top 1t. DR.. Lowry had as
sociated with him one Edward st. Clair,
who claimed to be Connecticut man,
and knew everything about cultivating
and curing tobacco, and as the firm Of
Lowry and st. Clair they ran the farm.
They began cutting the under leaves
of the plants about the last of August,
and had pretty and dry weather in Sep
TENDER and October in which to gather
and cure the crop. A finer lot of tobacco
was never before seen in Florida. l sent
samples of wrappers" and "f1llers" to
the State agricultural fair then Q87D
being holden in Gainesville, where it
came in opposition to the numerous ex-
hibits from all parts of the State, and
the first premium was awarded to- this
tobacco over all other competitors.
Numerous parties came here to buy
it, and written applications came from
several states, and it could have been
readily sold for an average Of so cents
per pound, but unfortunately for all par
tics concerned McKeown and Keatnley
fled bill in chancery against Lowry
and st. Clair and myself, to enjoln the
sale of the tobacco, for debt owing
to them by Lowry and st. Clair. The
circuit court decided the case against
McKeown and Keathley, but they ap-
pealed to the supreme court, where it
was again decided against McKeown and
Keathley [18th Fla. 1861. By this time
nearly five years had elapsed, and worms
had utterly destroyed the tobacco, but I
spread it over my grove and plowed it
under, and my trees showed its good
effects for years after.
In the meantime, Lowry and st. Clair,
having lost the fruits of their labor by
reason of this law suit. became disheart-
ened and quilted the place. This ended
the tobacco culture here, but demon
strated the fact that no land in the
United States can produce better tobacco
than was grown on this fernando county
hammock; and Lowry asserted to me
that clear profit of $1,000 90 per acre was
almost certainty in raising Cuba to-
bacco on any of our good hammock
lands.
That cultivation of Cuba tobacco by
our people would be more profitable (not
even xcepting orange groves) than any
other business will scarcely admit of a
doubt, especially so, as all of our orange
packing houses could be easily utilized
for curing houses until again wanted for
oranges. But instead of selling this fine
tobacco for so cents or $1.0O per pound,
why could it net be manufactured here,
and produce five or ten times as much,
to say nothing of the employment of our
people and adding that much to the
material wealth of the county?

going to do the way ahat suits them, cos
what it may. At least, last weeks do
ings seem to confirm this view.
There is an organization here, of which
Mr. G. w. Franklin is forwarding agent
which seeks to secure unanimity among
the producers in the matter Of market
ing their crops. For this purpose, the
agency has selected responsible houses
in the chief cities, to which all shipments
are TO be made, and has also gone to con
siderable expense to obtain daily tele
graphic reports of the condition of the
markets. The chief design of the organ
ization is to beLeft the growers by secur'
ing better prices for their produce, and
this cannot be accomplished unless
there is harmony Of action and ready
compliance with the advices and re-
quirements of the organization.
Last week, however, our neighbors on
the south disregarded every considera-
ton and not only shipped their stuff to
New York, where CLINT was threatened,
but consigned to houses not authorized
to act for the assoc iation. AS result
of this conduct, they received probably
a net return of about As cents per crate;
whereas, if they had shipped through
the organization to the Western marke is,
they would have obtained about 80 cents
per crate.
The wisdom of concert of action
among the growers is forclbly set forth
in letter which Mr.. Fra1klin has re-
ceived from reputable house in Spring
field. Ill. to whom he wrote giving a
detailed explanation of the plan sought
to be adopted and practiced here. The
letter says:
eve will do all in our power to make
your scheme a great success. Our sup
plies have heretofore come from St.
Louis and Chicago, necessitating the re-
shipping of beans, peas, tomatoes, cucum-
bers, cabbage, ETC., by which we often
get the leavings Of those markets, stale
stuff unfit for use. Such plan as your
growers outline would insure us fresh
goods direct from the producers; and if
we could depend upon regular supply,
we could cover territory having a
radius of 100 miles around here-handle
large quantities to advantage and make
certain success for both your produ-
GERS and ourselves.
"Your plan is undoubtedly good
one. and we hope all the growers around
you will appreciate it's advantages, for
it is only by combining and acting in
concert with a view to securing proper
distribution of their stuff that they can
ever hope to obtain the best results.
zone season, for example, we induced
all the principal blackberry growers Of
this region to give us the sole handling
of their crops, and this enabled us to
make a judicious distribution and
obtain fair prices for the whole, and al
the same time the growers got home
market, something they had never had
before.
"Your plan is similar and will Ger
tainly achieve good results, if the grow
ers will only see their true interests anC
stand by the organization. If they will

A CURIOSITY.
A Pure White Deer Killed by Hugh
Mcdonald.

Hugh Mcdonald, a woodsman employ
ed watching the camps on Butternut
lake about fifteen miles northeast Ofthls
village, brought to the city Wednesday
evening, a snowy white deer.
This deer had been reported as being
seen q number of times last winter by
the woods-boys working there about,
but the story was given no credence
until Mr.. Mcdonald brought the prize
to the village.
1t is young buck, about two years
old, OF ordinary size. It's coat is OF a
snowy white hue, not a colorpd hair to
be seen, it's horns, which are in the velvet
are also white. Its eyes and hoofs are
both white, something old and exper-
fenced hunters claim they never heard OF.
Rumor has it that Mr.. Mcdonald has
sold his curiosity to all Amigo party
for $175.OO Henry Gansman the tax

BASE BALL. NOTES.

The brilliant and winning career Of the
home team was brought to an abrupt
ending in their meeting Of the Escanaba
ball club
Winning ten out OF fifteen games play
ed this season is not a bad record, but
to add four OF these defeats to the last
four played is painful indeed.
The boys played two return games
with the Escanaba's at their grounds on
the LIST and End inst, the Escanabas Win
ming both with ease. The team lett here
with but five players, expecting full
new out-field Of Milwaukee's best talent
would join them at Escanaba, but only
two Of the latter showed up. This left
our boys with but seven men, SO two
woud-be players were picked up over at
Gladstone.
The games were played and we believe
the Escanabas did not even have their
usual practice that afternoon. We pre-
fer to draw a curtain of charity ,'oyer the
games. as the less said the better, but be-
fore leaving the painful subject we can
not help informing our readers OF the
treatment accorded our boys.
Every entertainment and curtesy was
shown us by the members OF their team
and the citizens in general that could be
asked for. Although the article OF ball
our team was putting up should have
made us q fit subject for the ieers and
taunts Of the spectator, we Were liber-
ally applauded if ever the chance
occurred.
