hundred acres, which is to be laid out in

ecutor Thomas give his reason for dis
missing the action against j. D. GAVIN.
There appears to be a number OF in

The attorneys for the saloon keepers
in Norwalk, of whom indictments have
been found for selling liquor during the
time the Agricultural Fair was In
session, have filed a motion to quash the
indictments as they are not drafted ac-
cording to law.
Attorney Johnson has enj0ined the
authorities in Elyria from proceeding
further with the waterworks contract,
until he can be heard upon the validity
Of the ordinance upon which the bonds

Special From Florida.

EDITOR ENTERPRISE.-Th weather is
allthat could possibly be desired, there not
yet having been a frost. Thousands OF
people from the north are coming in to
escape the cold winter weather and when
they report leaving snow from ten inch
es to three feet deep, it makes us feel
better to be here, even if 1t is supposed
to be a torrid climate, and where rattle
snakes and aligatOrs run rampant three
hundred and sixty-fve and one-half days
in a year.
New strawberries are to be seen on the
market and by Christmas they will be
abundant, so il we can't have cranberry
sauce to eat with our turkey we can
manage to get along with plenty OF nice
ripe strawberries instead.
John Smith killed seven foot rattle
snake few days ago, so we won't have
that snake in our boots, even il we do
get EN- bad sometimes. Catching sew
enteen pound trout is what some of our
ladies have been doing for ammusement,
Of course professional fishermen and liars
catch much larger ones, but we draw
the line at wildcats. They are not de-
sireable except as dead meat and then a
little goes long ways. One good healthy
specimen invested our chicken coop, we
investigated with shotgun and the re-
suit, thirty pound cat that won't fur
nish home any more for colony Of fleas
or modest or make afraid our hens. The
moral is, keep your hen house door closed
at night.
One of our amateur hunters went duck
hunting one da1 last week and
bagged fifty-soven ducks. Two Others
went quail hunting and brought in one
hundred and sixty and it was said to be
quite rOor day for birds to. The crop
of sweet potatoes was good. One old
darkey says: Had some berry beg
ones sab bushel of em mighty nigh fill
a bahl sah."
The orange groves are doing finely
wherever they have been given proper
care, but we are sorry to say that there
are quite number of groves that have
been practically abandoned by the owner
while the trees are making brave effort
to grow; it is losing battle for them
as the weeds have the upper hand. Poll
tics are quiet; if you see pOpulist he is
very quiet with a tendency to say iii
wasn't him."
