Some Good News.

A huge basket containing 1000
letters was sent from the office of
Receiver Ct. G. Stapylton to the
postoffice this morning. That
commonplace looking basket con-
tanned thirteen thousand dollars,
or it's equivalent, to be distribu-
ted among the depositors of the
old First National bank of this
city. Those letters contained
blank receipts for the deposftors
to sign and present or mail to the
office of Mr.. Stapylton in the
Merchants National bank, when
they will receive d check on the
bomptroller of the treasury for
five per cent. of their original de-
posit. The major portion of this
money goes to the people of Ma
rion county and will be very ac-
ceptable to our people. Mr.. Sta
pylton and Mr.. Massey have been
very busy for several weeks get
ting everything ready for this
dividend, as there is much work
connected with it.

The sick man knocking at the
door Of health gets In if he
knocks the right way, and, stays
out if he doesn't. There are
thousands of ways of getting sick
but only one way to get well. Do
whatever you will, if you do not
put your digestion In good order,
and make your blood rich and
pure, you will not get well. Rich,
pure blood is the only thing that
can bring perfect health. Con-
stipation is a disease of the blood.
A large part of all diseases are
traceable directly to impurities in
the blood, and can be cured by
eliminating them with DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. The
first thing it does is to put the
whole digestive system into per-
feet order. 1t stimulates the ap-
petite, excites copious secretion
of the digestive fluids and pro-
notes assimilation. 1t searches
out disease germs wherever they
may be, kills them and forces
them out of the system. The
"GolGen Medical Discovery" has
been used with unvarying success
for over 80 years.

them come to Lake Weir and if
a sight of our groves does not in
spire new hope and zeal in the or
ange business, we will pay the ex-
penses of the trip. Our trees are
booming and the present crop is
estimated at considerable over
two thousand boxes, this on North
Lake alone. Capt. j. L. Carney,
one of the most intelligent and
successful orange growers in the
state, owns a magnificent grove
on an island in the Lake. He will
ship from it about 500 boxes of
fruit. The large groves of Gen.
eral Robt. Bullock are coming"
He has had them rebudded and
expects handsome yeild in a few
seasons. Mr.. Marcellus Turnkey
has one of the best kept and most
promising groves in the neighbor-
hood, he will ship fruit this year.
The handsome forty-acre Rad
ford grove, superintended by Mr..
Milus Cooper, is in fine condition,
almost every tree has a good
showing of oranges. The exten-
sive Eagleton groves ged by
Mr.. Ed. Eagleton will have first
rate crop for the fall shipping.
The smaller trees are also in good
shape and we are willing to ''show
groves" with any section in the
state above the frost line. Lake
Weir is hard to beat on many
points.
It is conceded by all to be one
of the most healthful places in
Florida and certainly one of the
most delightful for home. There
is nothing in the surroundings to
produce malaria that bette nOir
that frightens settlers from SO
many places in our state. The
lands are high and rolling, sur

liquid depths makes man renew

here, even in the hottest weather
there is a cool, refreshing breeze,
making it a pleasant summer re-
sort. Already some of our cot
tages are engaged for the sum-
mer months. Hon. Alfred Aver,
of Mcintosh, will return with his
family the first of June. Mr.. w.
w. Acheson, of Lake City, will
bring his family in July, and we
hear it rumored that Jackson
vile D. D., wants cottage for
couple of months.
It wouldn't be a bad invest
ment for some moneyed man to
build road and run electric cars
down from Ocala. Business men
whose families leave town would
find it very comfortable and con-
venient to have their cottages
here, come down every night and
go back to business in the morn

MAKING GOLD BRICKS.

The bulk of the gold brought down by

and its purchase by the banks. All day

and the process was as simple as that

The casting was done in the shops

the day about $4,000 was handled. In
the Second avenue window of the con

of dust and nuggets, and a curious
crowd pressed around the yellow dis
play until il was finally removed, to be
converted into bright lump about nine
or ten inches long. threc-eighths OF an

pieces were worth 81 700 each.

done was blisteringly hot. II was above
