few first-class immigration agents since
the freeze. The people of that section
had but one idea; they talked OF only one
subject; they could see pleasure, profit
and happiness in nothing but oranges,
and since the February freeze acted as
cold sponge to the industry they are non
plussed and have not yet ceased TO ask,
where am [ at.
Mr.. White, turn to your file and read
the whole article 1t will set you right
on the orange industry
After personal visit to the far-famed
Indian river country, the editor Of the
AGRICLTURIsT in the issue of October 30,
again writes: "Orange culture is only
INDUCED IN here (Eden) in very limi-
ted way. The strong coast winds make
it impossible to raise the trees without
wind break, and to build one is rather
expensive. We saw two trees, however,
that had fruit on but not enough to glut
the Eden market.
"As far down as Melbourne the groves
are no better than one hundred miles
farther north and in some cases we think
worse"
Melbourne is fifteen miles and Eden
seventy miles south Of Georgiana, max
ing it that much more difficult to answer
Mr.. Whites own question, "wby will a
man write for the truth what he does
not know to be true?"
Cumulative evidence is plentiful show
ing that orange growing north of town
ship thirty two is extra hazardous, and
tb at it is worse than folly to expect to
succeed with tropical products in d semi
tropical climate, but on the contrary
that diversified crops are best for every
body.
The Lemon Bay correspondent of the
Florida Citizen writes, on December %,
regarding the citrus industry, as fol-
lows:
''The failure of the citrus fruit crop
in more northern sections of the State
has given an impetus to experiment
here, and small groves of few thrifty
trees are pointed to as evidence of the
adaptability of Biscayne Bay lands for
this branch of horticulture.
''F'ine orange trees at Biscayne Bay,
Lemon City, Miami, Coconut Grove, and
Cutler prove conclusively that the in
dustry may be safely ventured here, and
it is believed generally that this region
is destined to be the lemon, lime, and
orange and grapefruit producing sec
ton of the State"
However, there is no statute against
anybody investing money in orange
groves anywhere IN Florida.

EataI Shooting Affeay.

John R. Smith, of Morenci, was shot and killed by Lafe Gibson at Hamp- sons ranch on Eagle creek a week ago last Saturday. The Graham County Bulletin states that Gibson was em- ployed by Smith at his Eagle creek ranch, and during Gibson's temporary absence from the cabin some one broke in and stole tent. Smith, on his re- turn, accused Gibson of knowing where the tent had gone to. Smith used abusive language toward Gibson and finally knocked him down and kicked him m the face. Smith also threatened Gibson's life if he attempted to leave the ranch. Gibson did leave during the night and went to Hampson's ranch. where he told the men what had hap pened.
 The next day about o'clock Smith was seen approaching the ranch with his hand on his six shooter, and as he rode into the back yard in that position, Gibson put rifle out of the kitchen window and shot him through the hedrt, killing him instantly. After the shoot ing Gibson rode to Fort Thomas and surrendered himself to the law officers.
 John R. Smith has been a resident of Graham county for ten years or more and has always been industrious and attentive to his business, and had accumulated considerable property. At one time he was constable and deputy sheriff at Clifton and Morenci. He was one of the posse that killed the two Mexicans that were implicated with Chacon in the robbery and attempted murder of Paul Becker at Morenci last December and when Pablo Salcido was killed.
 John R. Smith was brother of Mrs. E. J. Eserhardy, of Globe.

The annexation of Canada has been an interesting subject of discussion for some time, but in Globe, on Saturday last, the conditions were reversed and the novel occurrence WIS witnessed oi the conquest of portion of Uncle 5am's population by Canadians; and il was accomplished without struggle, the besieged lending every assistance to the enemy. The tactics employed were well calculated to not only dispel opposition but to even entrance the victims, who, by means of seductive music and dancing, and inviting re. treatments, were begniled into sub mission and expressed gratitude to their conquerors.
 In order to enlighten readers on this seeming paradox, we will state that We allule to the ball given under the aus. pices of the Canadian residents of Globe. In point of attendance and for genuine pleasure it was all that could be desired, and the ladies and gentle. men who contributed toward the enter. tainment may we'll feel gratihed by the success achieved.

Electric Biiters.

Electric Bitters is a medicine suited for any season, but perhaps more gen. orally needed when the languid, ex- hausted feeling prevails, when the liver is torpid and sluggish and the need of a tonic and alternative is felt. A prompt use of this medicine has often averted long and perhaps fatal bilious levers. So medicine will act more surely in counteracting and freeing the system from the malarial poison. Headache, indigestion, constipation, dizziness yield to Electric Bitters. 5Oc and Sl. .O0 per bottle at II. c. Hitchcock's drug store.

An important strike of copper ore was made in the Hoosier mine 0 few days ago which is likely to restore the reputation which that mine formerly held as one of the greatest copper mines in Globe district. Fifteen years ago the Hoosier was sold by Woodson & Ellis to eastern parties for S8000 and soon became noted as rich copper producer. After exhausting an immense pocket of ore near the surface the work on the property was practically aban- doned, until purchased by the United Globe Mines, which company has done large amount of development, and the Hoosier is now one of the most valuable of the many mines owned by them.

 Dr. J M Ford and Hon J A.

Gap Tender and Witt Stanfield re. turned several days ago from the Deer Creek coal fields. The latter reports that the whole of Hawk canyon has been located, comprising an area twenty-five miles long by eight to fif- teen miles wide. The opinion is ex- pressed that many of the locations will not be recognized, as they show no evi. dence of coal or mineral, and in some instances several locations for coal have been made by one person, whereas the law limits locators to one claim of not moro than 160 acres.
