Ing Forward Rapidly.
Orlando. Fla. June 19-The grape har-
vest OF this section has begun in earnest
The crop this year is large, and the
fruit is Of exceptional quality. The fruit
clngs to the stems with as much tenacitv
as raisins, and the first shipments are
reported to have reached the market in
prime condition.
Shipments are now going forward from
the Niagara vineyard at the rate of car
load per day. A horse railroad connects
the packing houses with the railroad. a
mile distant, and adds materially in the
shipping process. At this time the force
employed in the picking, grading and
packing departments numbers nearly one
hundred persons. Many Of these are wo-
men and girls.
The fruit Is ripening evenly and rapidly
this year, and the harvest season promis-
es to be short The vines will have to be
gone over a second time as not all of the
clusters are fully ripe now. II will also
occur that some of the vines will produce
few punches of a second crop ripenIng

the Terrell Ticket.
Brunswick, Ga, June 19.-Hon. Harry r.
Dunwody returned to-day from Griffin,
where he was on a visit with the special
legislative committee. Regarding the pub
lished report that he would be a candidate
for attorney general on the Terrell ticket,
one year hence. one of his friends, a prom
inent politician, stated that the report
is calculated to do Senator Dunwody an
injustice, inasmuch as he is not party
TO any such move as outlined In the pub
lication. It can be authoratively stated
that he has not talked with Mr.. Terrell
or any of his friends In regard to such a
move, and Is not aware of any plot being
on foot TO overthrow the chances of Mr.
Fleming duBignon, or those of any one
else for the governorship. in this section
Of the state" Continuing on this line, the
speaker stated that Senator Dunwody did
not even consider the time opportune to
discuss the gubernatorlal question.

Seat of MaHhingtOn.


Tennille, Ca. June 1.-The subject of a
change of the county site Of Washington
county is agitating the minds OF not a
few of our citizens at this time. The
ordinary's call for vote of the people
upon the subject of Issuing $4,000 of bonds
for the purpose of building a court house
in keeping with the strides of progress
of the people, and to place Washington
up with the counties adjoining her, has
given an opportunity to the friends of a
change of site to work the matter, and
there are efforts being made to get vote
on this subject Tennille wants the court
house, and as there are railroad facilities
from the four points of the compass
through the county there can be no doubt
but that we are in the exact locality most
suited for the county seat.
