Semi Tropic Fruits.

To sections of Southern California
which are considered to be practically
frostless, it is undoubtedly a topic of
capital interest to investigate what
possibilities there are concerning the
growing, for the market, of fruits
that originally belong to countries
warmer than ours, therefore common
ly known as semi-tropic fruits. Hav
ing lived over four years in Southern
California and having taken a con-
slant interest in everything that has
been tried in this line, besides the
personal experience [ have had the
opportunity of having myself, [ be-

fruits only, concerning which posi-
tive data have been acquired already,
and which possess beyond contest a
true marketable value.
Among these [ will put in the first
line Cherimoya-Anona cherimolia-
by some people wrongly called the
custard apple. This has been known
in the country for over twenty years,
and plants are to be seen in several
places, chiefly in the Cahuenga valley
and round Santa Barbara; but it is
only of late years that fruits have
been marketed, in limited quantity,
fetching the very satisfactory price OF
ten to twenty-five cents apiece. Still
both fruit and plant are so little
known to most people that I will be
allowed to give a brief description of
them.
The Cherimoya is native of Peru
and probably of other parts of South
America; it is only a small tree,
growing rather in bushy and
spreading shape, thiclly covered with
oval leaves, beautifully Overlapping
each other, and which eNhale a pow

produced right ON the Stems and

the earnings of others in manner
that does not build up the interests
of the community, he is not, to say
the reast, a good citizen.
The best citizens are those who
have that sort of sagacity which en-
ables them to live and prosper by en-
couraging legitimate enterprise and
by lending helping hand to efforts
made in the direction of higher civil
ization.
If the citizens of Florida would
unite in one grand effort to properly
encourage settlement and investment
in this state, success would most as
suredly crown their efforts.
Let the people of other sections be
righteously enlightened as to the OPP
portunities afforded for investment in
homes and business in this state, and
at the same time assure them that
they will be amply protected and en-
couraged and there can scarcely be
a doubt that a stream of immigration
would in a short time head it's way
for Florida.
The building UP of the material in
terests of Florida rests with her own
citizens. If "a broad, liberal and pub
lic-spirited policy is pursued; if those
who are seeking investments in
homes and business can be convinced
that we have good government and
intend to maintain it; if we are kind
generous and just to those who come
among us; if they are made to under
stand that we are anxious TO share
with them the benefits to accrue as
the result of the development of nat
ural resources; if we can satisfy
those desiring to invest that they will
be heartily welcomed, and that the
citizens of Florida hold paramount to
all either considerations the promo
tion and advancement of the materi-
al interests of the state, there will be
no trouble about a prosperous future.
Every city and hamlet in the in
terror of this state, as we'll as every
seaport city or town, can be made 20
grow and prosper, if the people unite
as they should in an effort to help
themselves and offer encouragement
to others.
To advance we need, and must
have, more capital and more popula-
ton, and to secure these essential
needs should be the aim of every good
citizen.
Let us do all in our power to turn
the tide of immigration this way and
place Florida in that proud position
which nature intended she should oc-

Free Silver Would Not Be Plentiful
In de,

In deciding the pending financial issue partisan
politics will not be taken into consideration by con-
sstently conscientious voters. It is question above
ordinary campaign methods. The welfare of country
is of greater Importance than the maintenance OF party
organization and uphodng of sound monetary prin
cples of consequence than the preservation OF
political lines Nor will the effort to influence labor
against capital the producing classes against their sell
ing agents, be generally sustained The interests or

thoroughly welded that harm to involves injury to
the other Therefore such attempt will be looked

The proceedings went on quietly, and tne

field caught fire. and the blaze ran anung
