foIEs Ihe Rockland Courier
sues an Item about the new
Gulf Coast breeze. [volume] (Crawfordville, Fla.) 1897-19??, 1898-02-11
We Accept The amepdment,

Referring to the Thomas radish, and
commenting on our remark that Wa
kulla was stepping to the front in pro-
ducts of the soil, the Tallahasseean
says;
mot stepping" my good brother
That item referred to a radish over
two feet long. Up here IL inches is a
long one, and IL the BRsEzE insists up
on the correctness of its statement, we
should think II more to the point TO
state wakulla is jumping to the front,
bounding to the front, running to the
front, racing to the front, "burning the
wind" in front, "out o sight" in front,
or some thing equivalent. Sakes O. live,
none Of us can ever expect to cath 'er,
and plain stepping don't half express
it,"
We did not see the Thomas radish,
but those from whom we received our
information will not drop an inch on its
length. In fact Mr.. Henry Raker,
whose veracity ranks along side of
George Washingtons famous little
hatchet, comes up this week and as
sures us that Mr.. H. K. Eubanks has
now growing in his garden near Craw-
rordville, radish that is even larger
than the Thomas radish. We will not
give the dimensions OF this mammoth
root, lest it drive the agricultural edi-
tor of the esteemed Tallahasseean to
suicide.
Yes sir, we accept the amendment
offered, and il there are any words to
made it stronger we'll use them. Wa
kulla is fairly skipping, skating, shoot
ing plunging to the front.
Why Mr.. j. J. Lanston has whole
garden full of turnips on the Sopchop-
py river, that are larger around than
dinner plates, The wife Of our worthy
county commissioner Mr.. Dock Ander-
son, measured one Of the medium sized
and it measured just 221a inches in cir
conference.
There is nothing slack about Wakul-
la county-except its editors pocket
book.

Visiting Punoceo.

OF Wakulla's fine mineral springs at
Panacea and the prominent people Wis
ting there the Tallahasseean Of last
week says: THE Panacea Hotel people
have recently been antertaing some
people prominent in the affairs of our
National Government. Last week the
Springs were visited by the Hon, d. W,
Murata and family, Of Boston.
Mr.. Murata was CONSUL General to
Australia during the Cleveland ad =
ministratioh, and has only recently re-
turned to this country, having been re-
lieved OF his duties there by his sue
cessor appointed by President McKin-
ley.
He predicts d great future for the
waters OF these Springs, and says It is
only a question Of TIME when their
merits will make them famous the
world over,
Col, Nathaniel Brewer and wife also
vert the guests Of the hotel few days
ago. they drove over from their de-
lightful winter home at Newport, and
spent the night here. Mr.. Hall was
here at the time, and took pleasure in
showing them the Improvements he
has middle, and outlining his plans for
the future"

Eggs Better Than Fat.

One and half pounds Of pure fat
was taken from a Tallahassee hen last
week and the Tallahasseean says; IF
Col Mcleod raises fatter chickens
down in wakulla we would like to hear
from him"
Our neighbor seems to forget that
very fat hens don't lay, and have to be
killed to be worth anything.
1t is the laying sort that we raise
down here in Wakulla and the world
can not beat them, 80 eggs were
gathered yesterday from Col. McLeods
barn yard, and he Is only small chick
en- raiser in Wakulla, and raises for
home use only.
Every merchant in the county ships
eggs, and every train that leaves Wa
Eulla carries eggs. Mr.. F. W. Duval
shipped lO4 dozen yesterday and lO2
dozen the day before.
The best feature of the Wakulla hen
is that she lays all winter, when dozen
of her eggs would pay for Tallahassee's
fat hen.

$50 Pound Porker.

A two year-old hog killed last week
by Col l.. j. Blalock, a prominent law
yer OF Americas Georgia, according to
the Times Recorder, weighed seven
hundred and fifty pounds after being
cleaned, ready to cut up
Four and five hundred pound hogs
seem to bee too common in that section
to mention in the newspapers since the
no fence law was adopted, but Col, r.
Don Mcleod, the farming lawyer of
Wakulla, who killed 81 head Of hogs
this season, says he was born and raised
near Americas, and remembers well
when that section Of Georgia used to
raise one hundred and fifty Founders
with an occasional three hundred
FOUNDER, and the farmers Of those days
then made meat to sell and had money
to loan, He says it will take at least
a half dozen Of his Wakulla county
hogs to make as much meat as Colonel
Blalock's one, but his half dozen prob
ably cost less than the Georgian's one,
and is half dozen times better for eat

Lost His Horse.

While driving in the lower part OF
the county last Tuesday Mr. Dock An
derson's horse stumbled and fell. Fail
ing to get up again, he got help and
put il on its feet, but it could not
stand. The injury seemed to be in the
loins, or some part Of the body. The
animal refused to eat and seemed to be
suffering, and finally had to be killed
to get it out OF its misery. The loss Is
very seriously felt by Mr. A. who is nei-
Their high salaried official nor bloat-
ed bond holder.
