SPEAK OUT!


Publicity is what the people want.
Let the public speak on the subject.
There has been too much claim-too

Claims made by strangers are not
proof.
There is only one kind OF proof for a
Providence citizen.
The experience OF people we know.
When friends and neighbors indorse.
Make public statement of their case.
There can be no question about such
evidence.

Fall River Mil Stocks.

Transactions In Fall River cotton mill
stocks for the week are reported by
G.. Nj. Haffards & Co. as follows:
The Florida agriculturist. [volume] (DeLand, Fla.) 1878-1911, 1899-05-10
FLORIDIANA.

purchased tract OF land near Tampa,
where large building will be erected
to be used as a warehouse and mat
tress factory.
The Selden cypress door manufac-
tory at Palatka employs $50 men as a
regular force and extra hands at times.
1t uses annually 100000 feet of cy-
press lumber.
Dade City growers are getting rich
from their strawberries. One grower
received recently $500 net for sixteen
bushels of the luscious fruit. The in
dicatiOns are that the berries will still
command excellent prices because of
the recent cold weather higher north.
Henry Reynolds has about four
acres of Irish potatoes just south of
town, from which he expects to gather
200 barrels, and at the present price,
his pockets will be considerably
swelled. Henry smiles as he views his
"patch," and, indeed, he has right to,
for it certainly is a beauty.-Ocala
Star.
More rice is planted at Knights this
spring than ever before. Every farm
er has his patch, ranging from two to
twelve or fifteen acres. There will be
enough grown to warrant the estab-
lishment of a thrashing machine in
connection with the cleaning mill,
which a progressive miller will set up
near the station.
An enthusiastic meeting of the mel
on growers was held at the Office
of the Florida Fertilizer Manufacture
ing Company at Gainesville recently.
The meeting was fraught with much
interest. The question Of refrigeration
was discussed, and it is evident that
the Macarthur car will be used in re-
frigeration.
Orlando Reporter: Florida grows
the very finest fibers. Immense sums
of money could be derived from pine
apple leaf fiber. On our rich prairie,
muck and hammock lands a constant
invitation is given to the thrifty farm
er to take possession. Hemp and flax
would no doubt yield satisfactory re-
suits.
The race for cattle ranches is still
going on. The Summerlin Bros, Of
Barlow, leading stockmen on tue Kis-
simmee Valley range, have just COM
pleted the purchase of seventeen ham
dred acres of fine pastures at Lemon
Point at the north end Of Lake As
simmee, which they will stock with
choice cattle for the market. The
name of their new pasture is the
"Seminole Rancho -Kissimm Ga
Zette.
Capt. r. e. Rose, of Kissimmee, is
doing more for the State OF Florida
than all the politicians ever did. He
is striving hard to develop the State.
Sugar cane is now his hobby, and he
is demonstrating to the world that
Florida could, if properly developed,
produce all the sugar consumed in the
United States. We hope Capt Rose
may live to see every acre Of low ham
mock land in Florida planted in sugar
cane-Mayo Press.

Fla, secretary and treasurer OF the

System are so heavy at this time that
it is necessary to attach an extra ex-
press car TO accommodate the bust
ness. This means an extra big profit
for the express company, and it is to
be hoped that it will not get the lions
SHARE but that the "men behind the
plows," whose hard work made the
crop. will be proportionately benefited.
No matter what may be our views
religiously or politically it is our duty
as citizens to offer encouragement to
all efforts in behalf of the maintenance
of good government. The taking of
human life without authority Of law
is crime for which the perpetrator
Of the deed should under no circum-
stances escape the penalty Of law. No
matter where the murder LIS commit
ted, whether it be in Georgia, Florida
or any other state, the murdered should
be hanged according to law. Let it
once be understood that no guilty man
shall escape, and the crime Of murder
will be greatly diminished. Under no
circumstances should assassins or
would-be murderers meet with encour-
ement.-Gainesville Sun.
Lakeland Sun: The truck growers
are still shipping vegetables from
Lakeland. The entire gross receipts
realized from the sales of truck ship
ped from this section during the pres
ent season will be about $15O,OO0. Dur
ing the heavy orange shipping season
before the freeze very few points in
Florida received as much money from
the sale of oranges as this section has
received from vegetable and straw
berry sales, and one can readily see
that Lakeland is in a splendid finan-
cial condition.
G. w. Franklin reports that thous-
ands Of packages Of vegetables are go
ing forward to market from all over
Florida, and he aprrehends a speedy
fall in prices. Cucumbers are bringing
very satisfactory returns.-Leesburg
Commercial.
Strawberries shipped here from 9th
er places are retailing in this market
for 10 cents a quart. Which is ridicu-
lous, for we ought to raise right here
not only plenty of strawberries for
home consumption, but bushels also to
ship. There is no better paying crop
and we have an abundance Of Suita-
BILE lands Leesburg Commercial.
A mortgage securing the first bonds
of the Gainesville and Gulf Railway
was filed in the clerks Office at
Gainesville Tuesday. The mortgage is
held by the Standard Trust Company
of New York. The bonds call for
$15O,OOO in denominations Of $1,000
cash, and are issued to pay off the in
debtedness Of the road and make the
extension to Sampson City. It took
SIS worth of revenue stamps to cover
the drawing up Of these papers,

ADJUSTMENTS.


The thorough and emphatic success
achieved in "A Runaway Girl" by
Augustin Days Musical company, in
New York and Philadelphia last sea-
son, was very gratifying to both
members and management. But even
then they had no adequate idea of the
proportion of their success until they
reached Boston and Chicago, where it
could be measured in omparison with
the other big comic opera prodIc-
tions of 1898 and 1899, notably De
Wolf HopPer's "Charlatan, Francis
Wilson'S Little Corporal, Alice
Nelson's Fortune Teller" and other
musical successes. In the principal
cities of the union "A Runaway Girl'
found out where il was at. and to its
praise be it said that by common con-
sent the critics of the papers pub
lished in the leading centers of Eopu-
lation voted it, and many of them. in
the literal words 1.-The musical gem
of the season." and it bids fair to
outshiDe all others this season. Taken
all in all. it was a notable triumph for
Mr.. Daily as well as the authors
and composers of the opera, as the
sprightly Runaway" was the fourth
and last of the big comic productions
of the year to be beard in New York,
and at time when theatre goers had
been surfeited with light comic opera,
and naturally IA Runaway Girl"
came before the New York public in
q somewhat prejudiced light, but all
this was knocked to smithereens.
however. before the curtain had been
up two minutes on the opening act.
and Mr.. Days superb company and
the dainty comedy set to music had
won hands down" II further proof
be needed it may he said that "A Run
away Girl" played to over $50, 900 in
the first three weeks of its New York
run at Days theatre. and it's closing
week at the Fifth Avenue theatre in
the same city, where it had been
transferred 10 make room for The
Great Ruby, amounted to nearly four
teen thousand dollars. This excellent
company, presenting "a Runaway
Girl" which is voted the brilliant sue
cess of two seasons, will be presented
in it's entirety and for the first time
in the three cities, next Thursday
evening at the Burtis Opera house.
Leonard's Two Jolly Rovers, :"
which will appear in this city Sunday
evening, will introduce those popular
comedians, John F. Leonard and Sher-
man Wade. as The Rovers," two
funny and original characters, they

Nasal Catarrh quickly yields to
treatment by Ely's Cream Balm, which
is agreeably aromatic. 1t is received
through the nostrils, cleanses and
heals the whole surface over which it
diffuses itself. A remedy for Nasal
Catarrh which is drying or exciting to
the disea sed membrane should not be
used. Cream Balm is recognized as a
specific. Price so cents at druggists

dia'ely disappears when Cream Balm
