ORANGES FROM ROME.
Gathered From a Tree said to BE ZOO
Years Old.

Tallahassee, Fla, Jan. 3.-Col G. w.
Saussy, general passenger agent of the
Carrabelle, Tallahassee and Georgia rail-
road, was the recipient of a rather unique
New Years present. 1t consisted of or
anges from the monastery of Santa Sa-
birra, and came by mail from Hon. Wal
lace S. Jones, United States consul gem
eral at Rome, with the statement that the
fruit was from a tree said to be over 700
years old. The oranges were received in
good order.
As an evidence that this fine hill coun-
try, with its clay subsoil, is adapted to
successful peach culture, it is said that
there are on the banks of Lake Lafay-
ette few miles east of Tallahassee, liV-
ing peach trees that We're planted or set
out by the Indians during the first de-
cade of the present century. Persons now
residing here know that fruit was eaten
from those trees in 1922 As a matter of
fact, while the original trees may not
now be standing there, it may be true
that the trees now living and bearing fruit
are scions and sprouts from the original
stump that grew from the seed planted
there by Tiger Tail, when he was chief OF
the Tallahassee country.
