Walter Robinson was in town Sat-
urday in the interest of inducing our
farmers to plant none but the best grade
of cotton seed. He says up to date
5000 acres haye been planted to cotton

is planted by the finest sea island seed.
We are glad to hear this, for good seed
insures good cotton.-Ocala Banner.
The Plant system of Florida, through
Col. D. II. Elliott, it's land agent, has
applied for space at the Atlanta exposi-

100 feet square, in addition to the one
already planned, which is to be 100 feet
square. The officials of the road say
that one building will not be adequate
to house the magnificent exhibit which
they intend bringing to Atlanta.
The vegetable crops hereabouts are

500 crates In all, leave the Biscayne Bay
every week now, The season is fine, and
in another month pineapple shipments
will begin. There are only about 100
square miles of territory on Biscayne
Bay, and not more than five per cent of
this is cultivated The population of
the entire section falls short of 800. All
things considered, the vegetable output
is creditable.
Florida raccoons are plentiful here
about and they keep up their reputa-
ton as fighters. One was found by Capt
Hurlbut's dogs on the railroad track
near the postoffice last night, and al
though both of the dogs are accustomed
to hunting all kinds Of varmints, they
had their hands full, so to speak, for

Three years ago, when Tampa had a
population of less than 1000, the post
Office department leased 25x65 foot
room for term of three years at $500
a year. To-day the population of Tampa
is Is, 900 to 10000, nearly treble what it
was when this room was considered
adequate. In the past year the post
office revenue has increased $4,000 and
will exceed 500, 900 for this fiscal year.
Postmaster Post says the patronage of
the office has increased at least IS per
cent this year, and the amount of mail
has creased in the same proportion.
Rev. J. P. DePass predicted some
weeks ago, while the pear trees were
loaded with bloom, that there would be
no pears, and now it turns out, in at
least one grove we have examined that
the crop will be short, to sly the least.
Mr.. DePass theory is that a certain little
insect is doing all the damage, and while
the trees look beautiful and green the
bloom was robbed of it's vitality by the
rapacious pest. Developments will be
watched with interest, and if there is no
pear crop it will be a great disappoint-
ment.-Levi Democrat.
A few years ago it was the accepted
idea that very little if anything could be
raised in this section of Florida except
orange groves. This idea has exploded,
and this spring nearly everyone is gar

too, and repaying the money and labor
spent on them. The finest Irish potatoes
ever seen in this market are offered in
the greatest abundance at our grocery
stores-and they are grown around De,
Land. Besides potatoes our markets are
full of beets, radishes, string beans, turn

bers, strawberries, etc.-DeLand Sup

Honors at Springfield.

SpRMeFIELD, Mas, Sept. 10. - The
tournament Is over, the racing season Of
1895 Is practically finished, and Bald,
Sanger and Newton have firmly established
their ownership to the title of champion
In their respective GLASSES.
There was a gathering OF 1000 yesterday,
and the track was in It's best condition.
The interest was divided between tho mile
open, Glass b. tho two mile professional
handicap and tho attempt of #. j. Titus to
beat his record Of last ycnr, when he rode
28 miles, 40 yards in an hour.
In the Glass b race Wells and Titus did
not appear. The sprint was not begun un-
I'll the crowd had almost reached the turn.
Except for the fact that Kiser had got a
good lead on Cabanne Bald, who was in
fourth place, would have been unable to
get through, but he saw the hole, made
dart for 1t and crossed the tape with q
good length to his credit leaving Kiser
and Cabanne to fight it out. Tyler and
johnson did not start, and Sanger was the
only man on the scratch. At the mile and
half mark he caught his field, and the
time card was hung out for 4.24 8-5, n new
worlds record for the two mile profess
sional handicap.
In the hour ride Titus began to break
records on the seventh mile, and had COW
cred at the end of the hour 81 miles and
1856 yards, beating the American record
but not equaling the worlds record made
abroad by Meixell two weeks ago.
Starbuck beat the five mile professional
record, paced by quad, and also the class
b record, finishing the distance in TO- II Is.
Fred Loughead, of Sarnia, Ont, reduced
the class A unpaced record of 5.03 25 for
