Notwithstanding the fact that generally

For the past six or eight months Buck
ingham has been overrun with horse and
cattle traders from West Virginia. who
threaten. in time, to carry all of the cat
tie out OF the county. They know, per-

acres and a mule"-and take advantage

from the mountains they bring with them

OF which are generally old "rips' or
plugs" as they are called, and trade
them to the darkies for their cattle. gene
rally the most valuable part OF their
possessions. OF course, the old horses
soon die. leaving the darby nothing
whatever to show for his yoke OF steers

dozens OF traders from the mountains OF
Virginia and West Virginia can be seen
at the courthouse trading inter Sc and

Tenth Annual Meeting of the Flor
ida Horticultural Society.

That the Horticultural Society is
growing in favor from year to year
was evinced by the increased mem
bership at the last meeting held i'll
Orlando, on the 4th, 5th, 9th and 7tI
of May. The secretary reported that
at the close of the session 800 mem
bers had paid up their dues, that be-
ing the highest number reached.
Everything including weather was
perfect, so that no complaints were
heard. The Orlando people did their
part and fully redeemed their pledge
made year ago to entertain the
society royalty, and have the
membership larger than ever before.
When the presidents gavel fell at
1880 the opera house was well filled
with visiting and resident horticulture
lists and those interested in the vari-
Gus subjects akin to that profession.
The hall was beautifully decorated
by the ladies, who showed their deep
interest in all matters by a large at
tendance at all the meetings.
The hall was beautifully decorated
VIM. Crane Gray and the welcome ad-
dress by Mr.. W. L. Palmer, of Orlan-
do. His welcome was warm and earn
est and contained many pertinent
points.
The meeting was opened by prayer
by Bishop Gray and the, welcome adj
thorough humorist as well as an en-
tertaining and splendid speaker. His
response was a pleasant one given in
a pleasant manner to pleasant peo-
pie in pleasant place.
The president, Mr.. G. L. Taber, OF
Glen St. Marys, then delivered his an
nual address as follows:
