With the holidays approaching
And tho coming Christmas cheer
And the usual commotion
At the closing of the year.
Our thoughts arc now reverting
In happy. jingling rhymes
Of how to make these holidays
Appear like olden times.
Of course we'll have our dinners
With our turkeys and our pies,
And the same old story telling
And the swapping of big lies.
But what we lack in this dry place
To mako the wclkin ring.
Is some good old Tom and ferries
Or a bowl of whiskcy sling.
But what's the use of wishing
For these liquid blessings here
In this land of prohibition,
At the closing of tho year.
For there's not chance of drinking
Or our fiery thirst to quench
While Murray's on the look out
And Judge Pollock on the bench.
William Pope and Ed. Fuller owned
some wheat conformity aud about two
weeks ago some one stole 100 bushels o.

Under such circumstances is it any
wonder that her mind should have got
into such state, that at the time of the
shooting, when he definitely told her
that he would cast her off, that he would
not marry her, is it any wonder that for
a time she lost her reason, and fred the
shot for which she is on trial today"
Mrs. Andrew Morgan, of Hope, sister
OF the defendant was placed on the stand
Tuesday morning and testified as follows:
Mother was subject to nervous and
hysterical spells. The had three girl
children by her first marriage, and two
by second husband. Mary had stopped
with witness at Hope when she first
came to Hope, and had been at her house
a good deal. Witness bought Mary a
revolver and gave it to her when she was
going out with Duncan Parks boarding
car the second year. first knew Ole
Halverson four years ago next Christ
mas. when he brought Mary out with
him from Hope, and they stayed all
night. After that he was frequent
visitor, usually with Mary or to meet
her at my house. They were engaged
to be married.
He had given her an engagement ring,
after they had been going together for
some timo. They "cted very friendly
and atfectionatc. He would often kiss
her, and would lie with his head on her
lap. One time saw them when she was
combing his hair
They had arranged to be married at
my house October 10, and Mary had
made arrangements for house keeping.
She had provided her wedding dress, bed
clothing, some eilverware and other
household goods. Mary was consider
ably troubled by female Irregularities
when at Hope, which affected her ner-
vous system TO some extent. I arrived
in Grand Forks on the Tuesday after
the shooting, and stayed in the Jail with
Mary. who could not sleep. Mary had
visited Canada during the summer of
.96. Witness saw Mary soon after Octo-
Der at Hope. Prior 10 that time she
had been OF bright, lively, sunshining
disposition. Ole spent the Friday, Sat-
urday and Sunday before he went to
lnkster at my farm, with Mary Ole
had been in the habit of taking Mary to
church, to the opera house and parties
while he was at Hope.
Mary got letter from Ole about Octo.
Der ] which has since been destroyed.
That letter referred to his engagement
to Mary. but stated that he has decided
to give it up. He also said that she need
not answer the letter. It was addressed
to Miss Luxton, instead Mary, and
said that after what she had told him at
Mayville he thought they had better
part. She took it very hard but did NOT
seem to love him less, and showed no
evidence in any way Of any desire for
revenge
From the address of Atty. Cochrane it
appears that the defense will be iustifi-
able homicide while temporarily insane,
and this, with other points brought out,
will probably prove to the jury such was
the case and the chances are that she
will be acquitted.
Later.-Miss Luxton was on the stand
yesterday for about three hours, and
testified to about the same as Attorney
Cochrane outlined the defence.

A Manatee Grower.

j. w. Teasley, of Manatee, who has
been in the city for several days,
leaves for his home this morning,
several hundred dollars richer than
he was upon his arrival here. Mr..
Teasley is we'll known in Tampa as
the former general manager of the
Manatee Tobacco Co., and it is not too
much to say that he is one of the
most thoroughly equipped experts
who have thus far become actively en-
gagged in the new tobacco culture.
His connection with the Manatee To-
bacco Co. was severed some time
since for reasons of a business nature,
and Mr.. Teasly is now making his
preparations to engage in tobacco cul-
ture on his Manatee plantation on a
large scale the coming season.
The causes that have actuated him
in coming to this conclusion are such
as to interest all who are in any way
concerned in the success of South
Florida's new industry. Some time
ago Mrs. Teasley had planted out an
acre of Cuban tobacco upon a lot that
had been placed al her disposal for
the purpose. The crop was a heavy
one, being in the neighborhood of a
thousand pounds, and Mr.. Teasley's
business in Tampa was to test the
local market by seeking to dispose of
his wife's experimental crop.
When Mr.. Teasley came into the
Tribune office last night it was to an
nounce that he had been successful in
disposing of the crop to local dealer,

LIQUID SMOKE FOR MEATS.

Smoking meats without fire has
proved such a decided success that
even those who were disposed few
years ago to make light of the idea
are now using Krauser's Liquid Ex-
tract of Smoke. The liquid does away
with the risks and inconvenience at
tending the old smoke-house process
Meat smoked by the new method has
a genuine, delicious smoke flavor, it
remains moist and in perfect state
of preservation and is not infested
with insects. The extract is made by
distilling the smoke from hickory
wood and it is absolutely harmless.
The makers, E. Krauser & Bro, of
Milton, Pa, will send free to anyone
interesting printed matter about
methods of curing and smoking all
kinds of meats.

for shipment to Chicago, at a very re-
munerative price of IS cents pound
In other words, Mrs. Teasley's modest
venture on her one acre lot will yield
realm-a sum sufficient to provide her
with spring bonnets for several years
to come.
When Mr.. Teasley was asked what
he thought of the failure of many
growers to find market for their
crops, he replied:
IGNORANCE of the proper methods
of cultivating and curing. This talk
about no market for Florida tobacco
is all poppycock. The secret lies in
having good tobacco, properly rails
ed, properly cured and properly put
on the market. ANY man who has
such tobacco and who understands
local conditions, will find as little to
complain of as [ have tonight
''To whom did you sell your tobac-
co, Mr.. Teasley?" was asked.
IL sold it to the local representative
of Chicago house that stands ready
to take every pound of the Florida
crop that is worth having or handling.
Those who raise the other sort need
expect nothing better than disaster
and disappointment. AS for me, [
am going home to put in as big a crop
as [ can handle"
1t is understood that the Chicago
firm to whom Mr.. Teasley refers has
in view the establishment of plant
here for the manufacture of Florida
tobacco, and that it is only a question
of time when this outlet will be pro-
vided for the local crop.

Tobacco Culture on the East Coast of
Florida

The revolution in Cuba and the par
tial failure of the tobacco crop in the
island of Sumatra are seriously affect
ing the tobacco markets of the world,
and leaf dealers are casting about for
other sources of supply. 1t has long
been known that Florida can produce
the very highest grade of cigar leaf,
and that much of the high priced
Havana used by the best and largest
manufacturers is the Florida product
cured. betuned and baled by Cubans
according to the Cuban process.
With her semi-tropical climate and
enormous acreage of perfect soil,
Florida is admirably equipped by ma
ture to supply all demands for cigar
tobacco. Year after year her exhibits
have taken prizes over foreign tobac-
co wherever shown in the United
States, and today she jostles Sumatra,
Mexico and Cuba in the markets OF
Bremen and London.
Scores of Cuban tobacco growers,
exiled from their island home, are

Tobacco Association.

The next annual meeting of the
Florida State Growers Association,
to be held at Green Cove Springs
January Is and 49,, 1898, promises to
be the largest meeting of growers
ever held in the State. In addition
to the meeting, there will be State
exhibition, and Judging from the
number of letters received daily, it
will eclipse all previous exhibitions.
Nearly all the railroads in the State
have reserved space, and will exhibit
tobacco grown along their different
routes. Several of the larger cities
will have exhibits, under the auspices
of their boards of trade. All the big
growers of Gadsden county will show
what they have accomplished this
year. Fort Meade, Barlow, Dade City
will also be represented. Mr.. Canova
of Tampa will be on hand with the
same exhibitwhich appeared at Nash
vile, and Mr.. Wilder, late of Sumatra,
will make an exhibition of imported
Sumatra worth 81 per pound, and
bought in New York at that price,
side by side with Florida grown Su-
matra wrappers, and it will, it is
claimed, be next to impossible to dis
tinguish the difference between them.
A special excursion is being organ
lied in Chicago for this meeting and
exhibition, and a large crowd is ex-
pected, as the fare will be very small,
and it will be a convenient time for
western farmers to leave their homes.
Throughout the State there is a
feeling that this meeting, being held
early in January, will enable those
who contemplate growing tobacco to
get all the information necessary to
a successful crop, and the attend
ance will therefore be very large. Ev-
cry tobacco grower in Florida should
make an effort to be present at this
meeting, and join the association, and
thus promote the good work it has
undertaken to do.
The people of Green Cove Springs
are making elaborate preparations
for the reception of her guests, and
there is not town in the State of it's
size that has such hotel accommoda-
tion and other facilities for holding
such a meeting.

the high price obtained for same, have
awakened the interest of growers
everywhere. New settlers are enter
ing nearly every county in the state,
thousands of acres are being planted
and the tobacco industry bids fair to
be the greatest source of wealth to a
state already rich in her timber, phos-
phate, fisheries and tropical fruits.
No one disputes Florda's position as
the producer of the best cigar tobacco
in the world, and admitting this of
Florida in general, it must be conced-
ed without question to the East Coast
of Florida in particular, for here all
the conditions essential to production
of perfect leaf exist in the greatest
possible degree; perfect soil, semi
tropical climate, long summer season
and abundant humidity owing to
proximity to the Gulf Stream. No
where else can all of these conditions
be found in same combination.
A few years ago orange and pine
apple growing were about the only
industries accorded any attention by
the people of eastern Florida. AS
these crops paid about 5000 per acre
per year net, there seemed little need
for the horticulturist to worry about
summer crop. But the rapid devel-
opment of the tobacco industry in
Western and Middle Florida has
aroused the fruit growers along the
line of the Florida East Coast Railway
to a sense of the Importance of tobac-
co culture as an adjunct to their win
ter crop of fruits and vegetables.
Up to two years ago Putnam county
relied entirely upon her orange crop
as a source of revenue. Oranges made
the county wealthy, built the thrifty
town of Crescent City, San Mateo, In
terlachen, Welaka, Federal Point and
Satsuma. The knowledge that the
ideal orange grove land was
also the perfect tobacco soil, and
that the two crops could be grown on
the same piece of ground at the same
time, came to these people like rev.
elation. Three years ago not leaf OF
tobacco was grown in the county; to-
day she has a large and fiourishing
association of tobacco growers; cur
ing rooms and warehouses have
been established in Palatka, and that
town has in one season become CEN
trail tobacco market. At San MateO
and Federal Point tobacco is grown
in orange groves between the rows of
trees and without apparent damage to
them. Both the Cuban and Sumatra
varieties are grown here, and in tex
ture, flavor, aroma and burning quail
ties they challenge comparison with
the imported weed.
In ST. Johns county experienced to-
bacco growers from Cuba have settled
near ST. Augustine, and established
tobacco farms, where the crop is
grown and handled according to the
Havana method, and so successful
have these people been that they chal-
lenge the product of the famous Vuel-
ia Abajo district of Cuba. St. Au-
gustine has some of the best equipped
