Every year adds to the wealth of
Florida. The orange groves are begin
ming to bear and their crop is annual
ly increasing, and the tobacco yield
is growing greater with each success
sive year. These two crops alone
guarantee the prosperity of the state,
but there are others that do their
share towards increasing the general
wealth. Florida is not so much talk
ed about as the Klondike valley, but
it is a better place for the accumula
ton of wealth. Times-Union.
There is as yet no reliable estimate
of Florida's tobacco crop, but the crop
is very fine and will be worth many
hundreds of thousands of dollars to
enormous output of the tobacco crop
of Florida. Within the last three
years 5O0,OOO,OO0 cigars have been
manufactured in Florida, valued at
over $25,OOO,OOO. 1t is estimated that
the tobacco industry in Florida this
year will be over $1O,OO0,OO0. The
pineapple crop is very fine, and is es-
timated at 100000 crates.-Lake City

<Nr. G. d. Bryan and son Grover, OF
New Smyrna, were pleasant callers at
the Advocate office on Wednesday.
Mr.. Bryan recently purchased over
1000 head of cattle, and is now fenc-
ing in over six miles of land along the
Indian river bank, near Lyrata, for a
range for them. He will also have cat
tie pens erected near the head of In

his stock on board the cars of the f.

A wa terspout, in all it's terrible
magnificence and grandeur, was seen
Monday afternoon by Messrs. R. Don
Mcleod, ST., Nat r. Walker, Tom
Benton and the Breeze editor. The
party had been fishing along the
edges of Gull island, and seeing a
dark, dangerous looking cloud rising,
had started back to the mouth of
Spring creek When about half way
out in the bay they were struck by
small squall and, looking off to the
westward, they saw the waterspout,
whirling around at a lively rate, about
a half mile away. The clouds seemed
to bend down and catch the water as
it was carried around and upward by
the whirlwind. The phenomena is
awfully grand. and is interesting to
behold in spite of it's dangerous char
acter. The general course of the
wind was almost directly from the
waterspout to our boat, and we were
all figuring hastily on the best course
to pursue in case of capsize, when
the spout veered off southwark to the
Gulf, passing directly over the spot
to pursue our course undisturbed.-

CONSUMPTION CURED.

| was sick with hereditary con-
sumption for three years, and having
lost all of my immediate family, con-
sisting of father, mother, two broth
ers and two sisters, besides seven I'M
cles, nine aunts and several cousins,
who died with it, I was given up to
die myself. I met an old physician,
who prescribed for me. After TAX
ing one bottle of his medicine, my
cough stopped, and after taking
three bottles, [ was well. The testi-
mony of prominent physicians, min
listers of the gospel and business
men as to the truth of the above will
be furnished upon application. A
sample bottle of the medicine will be
sent to any address upon the receipt
of ten cents in stamps.

Jesse Mcdonald, the fourteen-year-
old son of VIM. Mcdonald, living
about nine miles north of Tampa, was
kicked by horse few days ago.
His jawbone was broken and badly

Pineapples are scarce this week and
the market price has gone up. Two
weeks will see the market full of fruit
again, as the second crop commences
to ripen, and there will be plenty of
the luscious fruit from then until af-

The Econlockhatchee creek is on

The turtling crafts have made
splendid catches on this trip and will
no doubt do well. The Mayfower and

Fears are entertained that hya-
cinths may curiously interfere with

What is my opinion regarding
the effect Of the new tariff on mems
clothing?" repeated the manager Of
an importing house. I've been 60
ing into q calculation, and l figure it
out that the suit of clothes that a
man bought for S35 last winter will
this season cost him $3.50 so. You can
change round the various allowances
on some OF the essentials of the suit,
the silks, serges, mohairs, italian
cloths, cotton mixtures for Innings,
velvets for collars, the faciDgs and
all the rest that might be got in this
country, but when you get it all
down and added up that's what the
figures say, 81 so difference. The
fact is that we must pay more for
our imported goods, and we must ask
more for them accordingly, literally
'ad vslorem,' as the bill says, and the
buyer who is not we'll off in worldly
goods must either pay the price for
the good stuff or else make the sec.
Old rate stuff do, aud that's the
whole gist Of the matter"
Twill prices advance to the retailer
right awayp
1T would be reasonable to suppose
SO, for although the goods that are
already on the shelves in any partic-
uIar house are enhanced in value by
the additional rates that tho next
relay will cost, that enhancement
is intangible, and the money that
must be paid out for the new goods
is a hard fact"
prices will undoubtedly be raised

er grades of goods, domestic and

nothing can take the place Of the

The carpet houses frankly admitted
that the tax Of from four to twelve
cents pound on the raw material
used in manufacture would have spe.
ciic influence on the selling price OF
their goods, and that within the next
two months increased charges at re-
tail would be noticed.
The hardware dealers gave the
same testimony; likewise the import
ers OF buttons, beads, fancy straws,
baskets and other lines. From hooks
and eyes, dress castings and bindings,
and other dressmskers' supplies and
essentials, up to diamonds, Crept pa

Tariff Effects on Prices.

The general consensus of opinion
regarding the effects of the new
tariff, as gathered from the whole
sale and retail merchants within the
last two or three days, is that the
prices on individual articles must
advance more or less perceptlbly
within the next thirty days, or, in
any event, by the time the fall shop
ping is we'll under way.
Il say more or less perceptlbly,"
said wholesale merchant, because,
in many cases, the customer at the
retail counter will not, in the natural
order of things, be able to discern
the advance, either because of the
slight difference in the quality Of the
article supplied at the same price,
or else because the price itself is in.

times in contrast with the procedure

with crackers, were handed round to
persons assembled. The whole house
