THE KLINE SHOE 60.

Nothing in the Retail
Trading of this city in years
can compare with our record
in Shoe Selling for last Sat-
urday. We have practically
been doing the shoe business
of this town, and we have
sold thousands of pairs at
prices that were a revelation.
1t would seem as if every
pair of shoes we sold was tell
ing the story of the sale; how
we bought them at one-half
their regular price and sold
them in the same way.
One satisfied customer
brought another, and so on
ad infnitum. There's the
story of our success in shoe
selling. We will go on this
week in the same wav, but
probably the selling will be
bigger, as the attractions are
possibly greater than before.
We would advise intending
buyers to come during the
week, as it was impossible for
us to wait on one-quarter of
the customers who crowded,
or rather, over-crowded our
store last Saturday.

He urged upon teachers and directors
to live up to their great responsible
tiles. Directors should not allow per-
sonal feeling to interfere in hiring
teachers, but "civil service reform"
should prevail as long as teachers were

EVENING LECTURE.
George r. Vending was a very
warm, as well as a very brilliant, ora
tor last evening at the Y. NJ. c. A.
hall. He seemed to be suffering from
a cold, as he was extremely hoarse,
although the beauties of his eloquence
were not marred.
The lecture was filled with noble
quotations and apt illustrations. The
audience was large and appreciative.
His subject was Unseen Realities"
In beginning, ,he said that Material
ism is the most noted message of the
nineteenth century, but the current of
thought is settling away from it.
There can be no conflict between sci
ence and religion. Science stops at the
boundary of the realm of the spirit.
Heat, light, electricity (unseen real
ities), what are they? The wisest sci
enlist can not answer the question.
All forces of nature must be put in
motion by some interior force.
The Declaration of Independence is
the mightiest and most sacred docu-
ment since the writing on the Isle of
Patmos. Our court house is an unseen
reality-Justice.
The climax of his rapid and magnifl-
cent description of the mighty events
of the ages held every listener breath
less, and he retired amid enthusiastic
applause.
Professor Cogswell delighted the
audience with solo previously to the
lecture.

Letters expressing inability to be
present were read from Attorney A. ].
Colborn, Hon. T. v. Powderly and Cen
eral T. S. Osborne, who were to have
spoken. Rev. j. p. Topping, OF Sweet
Valley, was called upon to speak and
he responded in a similar strain to
those who had preceded him. His re-
marks were brief but soul l-nspiring.
Capt. L. C. Dart, Sf Wilkes Barre was
the next speaker. He stated that he did
not believe that all should be forgiven
and forgotten. In his opinion, those
who had attempted to foster sece ssion
and tear down the American flag, should
not be lauded. have monuments reared
to their memories, be accorded the
greeting of fellowship so abundantly,
but on the other hand their efforts
should be remembered and they be Piv-
en- to understand that having been
traitors their shame should be ever
before them.
MAKING OUR LAWS.
why" said he, II saw a man in the
senate at Washington who was ranked
as an officer in the Confederate army
and had lost a leg in the service. This
man was making laws, which you and
l are to respect. Is this right? Is it
fair? Is it decent? / think not, for 1t
was those very men who attempted to
disrupt the country"
Other speakers were heard who spoke
along the lines of reminiscence and
patriotism. Arrangements were con-
sidered in reference to the brigade
reunion to be held next year at Gettys-
burg. This matter was considered in
response to an invitation from Regi-
ments 149 and $50. 1t is probable that
143 will attend in a body.
The hymn my Country, 'Tis of Thee"
was sung and benediction pronounced.

THEY EXCHANGE GREETINGS.

After the roll call was completed a
general hand-shakinE followed. Com
rade greeted comrade and reminis-
cences of the old days were exchanged.
Frequent reference was made to the
| changed condition of the place. But
little remained to recall the three
months spent there in camp before be-
ing ordered to the front. This period
of greeting was brought to an end by
the calling for three cheers for the old
place and the old flagstaff which still
stands. The cheers were given with a
hearty goodwill.
Word was given to fall in line and
they marched back to the Opera house,

sections. Accepting the rainfall of
Jacksonville as representing the
northern section of the state, the
rainy season, as locally designated,
should begin about the first of May
with gradual increase until Septem-
Der, when the maximum normal for
the year occurs-S.43 inches. To be
exact, we find from charts compiled
by the weather bureau, that the prob
ability for rainy days for Jackson
vile, which will include a goodly por>
ton of the northern and northeastern
portions of the State, is as follows:
January, 80 per cent; February, 80
per cent; March 25 per cent; April,
"A per cent; June, A per cent; July,
As per cent; August, 46 per cent;
September, As per cent; October, 33
per cent November, 26 per cent and
December "a per cent.
Over western portions of the State
there is an increase in precipitation
from the last decade of May until the
same period in August. Heavy rains
are not uncommon, however, in the
last named section in December, JAN
uary and March. The minimum rain
fall occurs in May with a normal of
$40 inches and a maximum of 9.16
inches in August These deductions
are made from values given for Pen
sacola and Tampa. Combining the
values given for Jupiter and Key West
as representative factors for the
southern portion of the State, we find
an increase in rainfall beginning with
May and terminating with September,
the amounts for the two months be-
ing SIG and $40 respectively.

The Seasons Crop.

Officers of the Florida Fruit EX-
change, who keep themselves posted
on the condition of the orange crop
throughout the state, says the Times
Union, now estimate that the crop
will amount to between 100000 and
100000 boxes.
The bulk of the oranges will come
from the counties of Manatee and
Lee. Volusia county will come next,
with from $4,000 to 10000 boxes.
The crop would probably have
reached 100000 boxes had it not been
for the drouth in the spring and early
summer. This caused quantities of
small oranges to drop from the trees,
in the middle orange grow
ing section of the state.
In 1898 he probabilities are, freezes
and drouths barred, that the crop will
reach as high as 100000 boxes.
All of the orange growers are san
guine of success. They have now
tided over the worst period-that fol-
lowing the disaster of the freeze and
have restored their groves to some
thing like their old time beauty.
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1897-08-18

and their branches frequently reach
higher than the house. They are
crowded at all times with buds, flow
ers and spikes in all stages of devel-
opment. They will stand even con-
siderable frost and start out again
and soon be covered with fruit spikes.
Here is a good chance for landed
corporation or railroad to open up a
new industry for the people on it's
land or along it's line by experiment.
ing with fifty or one hundred acres
in beans. If the beans were raised it
would be but one season before a cas-
tor oil mill would be established in
some central locality which would
take all the seed grown the same as
the cotton seed oil mills do the cot
ton seed. This would give employ
ment to many that would otherwise
be idle, and bring money to the state.

Agricultural Progress.

Osceola county is fast taking the
place she deserves in the foremost
ranks of the State as an agricultural
county. Nearly all her farmers pro-
duce corn and sugar and syrup suffi-
cient to supply their own families,
while the St. Cloud farm produces a
large amount Of sugar annually that
is shipped to northern markets.
The pineapple industry, which was
started in this county only few
years ago, is fast growing in import
ance and many new pineries are
springing up in different sections of
the county.
The crop of tobacco that will be
planted this fall will be largely in
excess of any crop heretofore at
tempted.
The celery industry is now con-
siderable and the large profits that
can be realized from this crop will
insure steady increase in the acre
age.
The truck business now engages
more farmers than ever before in
the history of the county, and in
season the amount of various kinds
of vegetables shipped from this
point is very considerable.
Taking into consideration that
agriculture as pursuit was little
followed in this county prior to the
freeze, the showing she can now make
is high tribute to the variety of her
productions and the fertility of her
solls.-Kissimmee Valley.

Castor Beans.

Just before the freeze castor bean
culture was being tried near Orlando,
and large acreage set out. Since
that time we have heard but little of
it or on the subject of castor bean
culture. We would like very much to
know more about the experiment at
Orlando, and if any of our subscrib-
ers can give any information we
would be glad to receive it.
There is no question about the cas-
tor bean growing here, for we have
bushes that are now more like trees
and are continually bearing large
spikes of beans. With beans at $1.25
per bushel it seems as though there
was money in it for some one, espec-
tally families where there are children
who could gather and care for the
beans with but little oversight from
older people.
You can scarcely pass home in
the country that has not from one
to a dozen castor plants growing,
