Crop, Prices and Condition.

The Jacksonville Citizen has received
information from correspondents in
every section Of the orange growing dis
trict of Florida, which leads it to esti-
mate the crop of this season at 100000
boxes.
From the letters received, says the
Citizen it appears that through a large
portion of the section from three-eighls
to one-half of the crop has already gone
to market. AS rule the fruit has been
good in size and quality, and the prices
more satisfactory than those that pre-
vailed last year. Growers this year are
largely selling the fruit on the trees
either to local buyers or large orange
shippers. This they find better than
shipping direct to commission men.
With the exception Of a very few places
growers seem encouraged to hope that
things are setting down on a firm and
reliable basis, and that fair prices will
be obtained for good fruit, well packed,
and placed in reliable hands.

ufactured by the Pe-ru-na Drug Manu-
featuring Company, of Columbus, Ohio,
has commended itself to medical men
and their patients as a specific for la
grippe and it's sequels. 1t fully approves
itself for this purpose, and is remedial
for all bronchial troubles. It's action is
both local and Constitutional, and it is
entirely harmless. The distinction &C
corded to it belongs to no other remedy
of which we know.

No matter at what part of the mucous

is located, Pe-ru-na is the only remedy
that will, under all circumstances, effect
cure in from seven to ten days. In

taken, a teaspoonful before each meal
and at bedtime. This dose should be
gradually increased to two tablespoon
fuls at each dose. If not cured by end

Mary's part, with that deepening love
