The Right Way Of Managing a School
for Girls.

The old way Of managing colleges for
girls, where all the teachers are from
the same family, and the school run for
private gain, must give place to the
nEwer and better plan where the facul-
ty are selected because of their schol-
arship and the school managed by a
Board of Trustees for the public good.
This ia done at Monroe College, For
syth, Ga. The Board of Trustees who
control the school have selected fac
.ulty Of eminent scholarship and have
put the rates within the reach of all.
1t costs only $l25 for board and tuition
for the whole year. The advantages in
music, art and elocution are as good as
can be had anywhere Write for cata-

Sugar and Florida.

The proposition to promote the cul-
ture of sugar cane in Florida by es-
tablishing a sugar refinery in the
State which is now being discussed
by the Stale press should not be al
lowed to fall through, as so many in
dustrial schemes have done that have
been brought to public attention in
tAe same way during the past decade.
1t has been shown that the manufac-
ture of starch from cassava only
wants the necessary plants establish
ed to convert the possible production
of this article into immense wealth,
and that almost every acre of land IN
the State would produce it in abund-
ance. 1t has been demonstrated that
tobacco may be grown in Florida IN

other country in the world. Much has

cans, the culture of ramie, silk and

While capital invested in the culture
and manufacture Of these products
would return ample dividends and
give ornament and remunerative em-

present of more Importance than all
of them put together. Every farmer
in the State would plant cane if he
could realize money for his crop. Like
the cassava it would grow on any

My o.d comraCle, George Edmiston,
of Avon Park, has just been SO fortu-
nate as to have a number OF rips

to mature its fruiE in the State.
If all goes WEI, | may have the see

present of plant three or four years
ago. 1he description of this will. an
swer for his as well. l have just
measured some of the leaves and lind
them thirty inches long by about the
same in width, of a dark, glossy green,
smooth like a banana leaf, or rather
more like a thick, heavy orange leaf,
butt nothing like it only in color ana
thickness. The curious part abou,
this .eaf is in its formation and
growth. coming out from the stem Of
he preceding leaf. 1t bursts out from
the side of the stem Of the last leaf
formed, almost the full length Of the
Old stem at once, and then proceeds
TO unfold afterwards. 1t is almost
white when it first makes it's appear
ance to the light Of the sun, but soon
begins to change to most deAcate
light green, and finally to rich, CLOS
sy, dark green. Another singular
thing about this king Of tropical

ty to- seventy-fve holes, by actual
count. of various sizes and shapes, no
two leaves looking the same. Some OF
the holes are round, and not larger
Imam my penholder, others are three
or four inches in length, scarcely any
two eff them looking alike.
The blossom IS white, about six in
ches in length, and resembles a GAIA
,ily. But the fruit! How am [ to de-
scribe that? 1t resembles, just a ST.
tie, large pine cone, about ten inch
e,s In length, at first green in color,
but before ripen'ing turning to a
greenish yellow. 1t then puts one In

Drowned In Tucker Lake.

An awful fate met Mr. and Mrs.
A. III. Turner, prominent citizens of
Nevada, No, Friday afternoon.
Clasped in each others arms both
were drowned in fuckers lake. The
husband sacrificed his life in trying
save his wife. In company with a
party of friends, Mr. and Mrs. Turn
er went out to the lake on a fishing
expedition. Arriving at the lake the
parties took boats and rowed cut into
the water. Mr.. Turner and bis wife
were in a canvas boat and his brother
Will and a young lady followed
them. They had not gone far, how
ever, until the boats became separat
ed and Mr. Tucker, and wife were
quite distance down the lake in a
narrow channel on both sides It
which were myrisds OF water lilies.
At this point by Tome means they
were thrown out of their boat into
about eight feet OF water and about
thirty feet from the bank When
Will came in sight he saw his brother
and wife struggling in the water and
made all haste to render assistance
but before he could reach them both
sank out of sight. The bodies were
found side bv side and taken out
and laid under shade tree It was
evident that Mr Turner, in his at
tempt to save the life of his wife, had
gotten his feet tangled IN the long
stems of the water lilies and being
unable TO release himself became ex
hausted and went down.
