VILE Times-Union: The continued wet
weather is damaging the cotton crop Sc
riously. The plant is shedding fruit bad
~ and in some sections rust has made its
appearance. 1t is feared what promised
some weeks ago to be a remarkably fine
crop will turn out a very short one. Other
crops, such as sugar cane, ground and
field peas. potatoes, etc, are good. Corn
not so good as last year.--The Chattahoo-
chez and Flint rivers are very high, COW
ering In some places the low land crops.
If the water continues to rise, In a few
days all the crops in the bottoms will be
above here, reports his loss now at l25
bales of cotton and 5000 bushels OF corn.
The city authorities Of Pensacola have
been unable to collect from the Western
Union Telegraph Company the city tax
Of 81 each upon its poles, erected on the
streets. Two weeks ago the city coun-
Gil instructed the mayor to proceed 10 en-
force the penalty against the company by
arresting the local manager, as 1t was
evident that the telegraph company did
not intend to pay the tax. The local
manager, Len LeBaron, was arrested and
brought before the police court Saturday
but, at the request Of City Attorney
Blount, the case was continued until next
Tuesday, to allow Mr.. LeBaron time to
consult an attorney. Ii Is understood that
the company VIII appeal from any judg-
ment against Manager LeBaron, and Will
test the legality of the tax in the higher
| courts.
II. Weston g. Co., lumber buyers Of
| Fernandina, have chartered the barge
| Forest Belle, which will arrive at Fer
nandina Aug. /, and load with 100000
| feet of lumber for Boston. The Forest
| Belle is a coal barge, whose carrying ca
/ pacity exceeds that of four average-sized
/ schOoners. The barge has four stout
/ masts, and carries a sufficient spread OF
/ canvas to give her Storage way. She
/ WIN be towed to Boston by the tug George
W. Pride. This method of shipping lum-
/ Der is new one in Florida, and has only
| been tried in the United States once be-
! fore, hence it is an experiment If the
4 experiment proves a success future ship
/ ments VIII be made that way. The result
I viii be so decided an economy in freights
4 that the shooners now carrying lumber
| from Florida ports to northern ports will
i hardly be able to meet the rates

/ night Mrs. Blair was arrested in Palatka
! Saturday morning by Deputy Sheriff Quig-
| ley of st. Augustine on a charge of lar
| ceny Of personal property preferred by
