To Determine the Speed.

A person on a train will notice, if
listening closely, a click as each rail
is passed. If you take out your watch
and count the number Of clicks in 20
seconds you will have the number of
miles at which the train is going an
hour. This is always true as the rails
are of uniform length. 1t is system
that is used by railroad men when no
register is at hand.

good home paper when in a strange
place, and far from home and friends.

telling him how much | appreciate
the COLUMBIAN. 1t is as good as a
dozen letters from "Old Columbia"
Florida is indeed the LAND of
Flowers" The woods are full of
them. The yards are frightened by
the lovely roses aud lilies. The
weather is delightful, just cool enough
to be nice.
We had several days rain last week,
but it cleared off warm in spite of the
weather prophets predictions for cold.
The cotton is nearly all gathered, cot
ton sells at FIVE cents per pound be
fore it is gihned. They raise a fine
quality Of cotton here, the long staple.
1t takes long time for the crop to
mature, it is nearly eight months from
the planting until it is all gathered.
Watermelons are raised in great num-
bers, and after the watermelon season
is over the sugar.cane comes in.
They can raise fine cane here. l saw
some over ten feet high and twenty
two joints in one cane. We have
sugar boilings and all the syrup we
want to eat. Large quantities of pea
nuts are raised some fatten their hogs
on them.
Sweet potatoes are plenty and sell
ior from twenty-five to forty cents per
bushel. Irish potatoes are raised too,
but they do not turn out very well and
are apt to rot. They are hard to
keep. They sell for from one dollar
to one dollar and twenty cents per
bushel.
They raise great quantities Of COW
peas, also beans. Cabbage, radishes,
turnips and tomatoes can be raised
easily. The first three are being
planted now. Rye and oats can be
grown here but not enough to supply
the home market Corn does mid
ding well. The finest fruits can be
raised, pears, peaches, plums, grapes,
figs, pomegranates, persimmons, ber-
ries, lemons and oranges, and black
berries and huckleberries also. Straw
berries are ripe now. Near Lawtey
in Bradford Co., about twenty miles
from here they raise them to ship.
Here they raise enough for the home
market. Oranges are not very plenty
this season, but they are budding the
Satsuma orange on the trees that were
frozen down last winter. They are a
harder variety than the other.
MacClenny is thirty miles west Of
Jacksonville, on the Florida, Central

We are about four miles from the

MacClenny has about four hundred
