Albion Cor. Jacksonville Citizen: The
low price of phosphate has caused the
mines in this vicinity to run about half
time for the last year, and the price Is
said TO be likely to go lower If this report
is true, but little rock will be mined here
this year. The very high railroad and
ocean freights leave but small margin
for the miners The recent shipment of
Tennessee phosphate to Europe through
the port of Pensacola has caused some I'M
easiness among the miners of this vicinity.
The freight rate is said to be less from
Tennessee to Pensacola than it is from
this place to Fernandina.
T. V. Moore in Titusvine Star: A con-
sentative estimate of the Florida pine APP
pie crop for the present season, including
the Gays, Is 10000 barrel crates, 10000
standard crates The large output is
placed on the market in a period of two
or three months The natural increase
from year TO year Is 50 per cent. If this
business can remain in a prosperous con-
dition. the increase will be much more
rapid, and there will not be a dearth of
the fruit during its season in any of the
markets of orr country, though all foreign
fruit should be excluded. But the grower
does not wish for the wholesale exclusion,
only that such tax be placed as will re-
suit in preventing our markets from be-
ing made the dumping ground of ship
loads of inferior products which yearly
glut the markets when our own fruit is
going forward.

while rummaging around in an old I'M
used drawer in his room in the court house
last Wednesday" says the Live Oak Lead
er, Sheriff Hawkins came across a roll of
something wrapped in a musty piece of pa
per, yellow with age. In undoing the pack
age yon can imagine his surprise at finding
a roll of money, which. on being counted,
was found to amount 10 $4,29O.1O. Hereto
fore the sheriff and tax collector have each
had their offices in one room; and the
drawer in which the money was found
was one used by each of the officials to
throw papers of little Importance which
would probably never be wanted again,
and yet which they did not care to destroy
How long this package has been lying in
this drawer no one knows, as there is
nothing to indicate when it was placed
there. or who it belonged to-" The Lead
er fails to say whether the find consisted
of confederate money.
