able means They will engage in truck
farming and fruit growing. The plan of
the Indiana farmers is not to build

Last winter, says an Ocala correspond
ent of the Times Union, Mr.. J. Medew,
prominent Cuban, visited Florida to
determine what particular locality was
best suited for tobacco growing. He
liked Ocala and returned here with his
family from Cuba yesterday, and will
grow tobacco extensively. He said the
tobacco plantations in the Vuelta dis
trict, including his own, bad been over
run and everything destroyed by the in
surgents,and the only leaf for this years
use is what is stored in this country or
the warehouses of Havana. Mr.. Medew,
when here last winter, secured fine
samples of Col. A. L. Eichelberger's to.
bacco, and showed it to a leading dealer
in Havana without telling him where it
was grown. The latter pronounced it as
fine as could be grown in Cuba.
