Does Cold Weather Recur in Florida!

We take the liberty to print
the following interesting account
from % private letter regarding
former colds in the state:
"Henry Morrison (gon will re-
member him) lives on the river;
says that he can remember his
father talking OF a period In his
experience when he. passed
through about such weather as
we have been having the past
four years, when the few orange
trees around their houses were
frozen TO the ground and came up
from the roots, only to be again
cut to the ground, and so on
every year for several years. His
neighbors dug up the old stumps
and threw them away, but Mr..
Ms father did not, and finally
the cold cycle passed and he had
oranges and did not have any cold
again until 1886. [ can't help
thinking that there must be a
cause for such a change in the
temperature of the state, and
that it will run It's course and re-
turn to it's normal condition. Mr..
Hewitt writes here of extreme
weather in Southern California.
The fruit crop is ruined for an
other year, if trees are not in
jured. Twice In one week it was
19 degrees above, and at the time
of his writing the weather bureau
predicted a very low degree for
that time, but have not heard
from him since. Will most likely
hear again from him this week. -
