Who does not know women and
young girls who are continually in
tears? Who always sees the dark
side? Who have frequent fits of mel
ancholy without any apparent cause?
The intelligent physician will know
that it is some arrangement of the
complicated and delicate feminine or
gans. The young girl suffers, bodily
and mentally, ia silence. There is I'M
due WEAKNESS, unexpected pain, I'M
reasonable tears and fits of temper.
DIR. Pierce's Favorite Prescription ex-
erts a wonderful power over womalls
delicate organism. 1t is an invigorat-
ing tonic and is specific for the pecu-
liar weaknesses, irregularities and
painful arrangements of woman.
Careless, easy-going doctors frequent
ly treat their women patients for bill
iousness, nervousness, dyspepsia, liver
or kidney troubles, when the real
sickness is in the organs distinctly
feminine, and no help can come till
they are made perfectly strong by
the use of DR.. Pierce's Favorite Pre-
scription.

Robert Mcmillan, an employee of
the Southern Express Company, was
run over by Plant System passenger
train No. 7S, at Gainesville, Friday.
Mcmillan was making an effort to
board the train while in motion. The
shock threwhis body half way around
and his legs caught under the trucks.
Both will have to be amputated just
above the ankle. He was slightly hurt
on the head.
He. McCloud has established can

Joe M. Haskew and Chas. Small

on the steamer Gray Eagle, where
they will go by canoe through the
canals into Lakes Flirt, Bonnet and
Hickpochee to Olzeechobee, thence
down the south canal through the
sawgrass into the Everglades, then
south and west into some of the nu-
merous streams that make back from
the Gulf and upon striking the west
coast they will proceed northward to
Myers. This is route that has never
been explored by any white man, and
if the boys succeed in making the

of. They took provisions and ammu-

Last Tuesday Fort Meade was Wis
tied by one of the most destructive
hailstorms ever seen in this section.
Hail stones of enormous size covered
the ground and in some places bas-
ketsful could have been gathered. So
far as we could learn the vicinity of
Evans & Gartner's tobacco farm suf-
fered most, where the tobacco was
almost entirely destroyed. Of course
the tobacco will sprout again, but it
will make it later and it is probable
that the quality will not be so good.
Mr. Evans reports that several chick
ems and two pigs were killed by the
hail.-Ft. Meade Times.

A leading grower, who has been
well over the tobacco growing Sec
tons, reported to Col. Curtis at Ocala
Friday that the total crop in Marion
county this year would amount to
1000 acres. AS yet it is very much
scattered in small tracts, the Belle
view Company leading with fifty
acres, but by another year it will be
consolidated into larger tracts, that
will necessitate the establishment of
several large curing-houses.
Why not grow a fine quality of
lemons in Florida? There are thou
sands of acres of land in Lee county
where the finest lemons can be
raised, as safe from injury by frost
as they are in Sicily. We tried rails
ing lemons, but we planted too far
north. Plant below the Caloosa-
hatchee river. That region is the
home of the lemon, and is destined to
be planted out in large lemon groves
in the near future.-Tampa Morning

The Florida Extract company, To-

able that consignments will be made
to England, Germany and other Euro

gets little better known.-Titusville

While the magnolia grandifora is
indigenous to nearly every county in
Floria, it is rather odd that the tree
is not found growing wild in Lee

It is said that the Cuban Junta has
about decided to attempt to run no

expeditions are run to send them out
from some other point on the Allan

Pertinent Reply.


Pertinent Reply
1t is reported that Mr.. Tyler. from
the time of his election to the vice
presidency of the United States until
the death of General Harrison, kept
no carriage, owing TO the insufficiency
of his salary. When, however, he
found himself elevated to the chief
magistracy of the country, the finan-
cial difficulty being removed, he de-
termined to set up an equipage. He
bought a fine pair of horses, engaged
an Irish coachman, and proceeded to
look about for a vehicle to suit his
tastes. He heard of one which was
for sale by gentleman residing in
Washington, and went to look at it. 1t
had been driven only a few miles, and
was in excellent condition, so that the
president, after careful examination,
felt satisfied with 1t. Before finally
deciding the matter, he took his Hiber-
MAN coachman TO have a look at the
carriage and give his opinion of it. Its
jist the thing fer yer honor! reported
Pat, cycling it critically. But" quer-
led Mr.. Tyler whimslcally, do you
think it would be altogether proper for
the President of the United States to
drive a secoDd-h hand carriage, Pat"
And why not?' asked Pat, with Il

The woman with Junoesque hands

if you turn a microscope lens wrong

will be that the object looked at will
seem smaller, rather than greater.
The person who is to have his or her

which II is desired to manipulate in the

and the trick is done.
