TItusville Advocate: There is good
ground to suppose that the theory advance
ed by Secretary of Agriculture Wilson, that
the English walnut can be successfully
grown in any of the southern states, is
correct We may be wrong not being
practical arboricultursts, but it would
seem to the initiated that land which will
grow one species of nut should be suited
to the growth of any other variety; that
the land of the hickory should be equally
adapted to the walnut. No cost is attach
ed to raising the nuts after the trees are
once planted and the experiment Is worthy
of trial

Judge 2. T. Taylor of Kanapaha threat
ems to sue the council of Gainesville for
heavy damages. While in Gainesville he
was on his way to a fire in his buggy.
The city fire wagon came on behind him,
but the judge thought that he had the
right of way and would not leave the CEN
ter of the street. The city fire team was
on the run, and struck the buggy, which
was turned over, and he fell heavily upon
the rock pavement. He received injuries
from which he will never recover. The
council has informed Judge Taylor that
they will not pay him any damages, and
that in their opinion his injuries were the
result of his own carelessness.
