When the change of schedule on the
Plant System from Astor to Leesburg
goes into effect next Monday, there
will be the discontinuance of trains
over the J. T. and K. w. track from
Astor to Sanford. When that road was
sold to the Plant System sometime ago,
this branch of the road was left in the
hands of Receiver Durkee, there being
no bidders for it, but all of the rolling
stock and equipment was sold, leaving
only the track. The mail service has
been withdrawn from the line and there
is not other business sufficient to justi-
fly the running of trains. -Leesburg

A few days since two white tramps
went to the home of Mr.. A. ]. McAteer
at Orleans, Citrus county, when he was
absent, and asked Mrs. McAteer for
somthing to eat. She fixed them
breakfast such as she had in the house
at the time, and handed it to them.
They objected to a hand OUT and
said they were not used to eating in
that way, and demanded that she fix
them breakfast and put it on the ia
bic, and at about the same time one Of
them struck her, knocking her down,
and as he attempted to rise the other
struck her openhanded. She was then
4o1I II, 4
ETC., and not make any noise. She pre-
pared the meal and they took their
seats at the table, displaying revolvers.
They then ordered her to kill and cook
a chicken for them, but she slipped out
of the room and started on a run for
her nearest neighbor, who armed him
self and went directly to the house, but
the tramps had left. He went to Iver-
ness at once and reported the
matter, and in little while
the sheriff was out with a
posse searching in every direction for
the scoundrels. Bloodhounds we're
brought to the place, but owing to a
heavy shower that had fallen in the
meantime the dogs could not be used.
The men are described as both being
of medium size, middle aged, dark MUS
taches; looked very much alike; had on
blue overalls; one had blue jumper
with red lining, and both had on caps,
and had revolvers.
w. L. VanDuzor left on Wednesday
for Dalton, Ga, where he has gone to
superintend the construction OF several
threshing machines of special design
that he has ordered for his espnosa
crop. This crop being new and ex>
perimenta1 one, none of the standard
machines are suited for it. For the
same reason all the seed drills and 9TH
er tools used by Mr. VanDuzor have
been specially made for espinosa. He
will be absent about ten days.-Kis-

Mr.. w. R. Healey of Longwood, was
here on Wednesday, in the interest o.
a Cassava factory, about to be estab-

space this week to go into details, but

farmers the profit of cassava culture
and to solicit the cultivation of large
area in cassava this coming season

A comparison between the cost u
driving cattle from Kissimmee to Tam
pa and shipping them by rail suggests
an obvious conclusion, namely that the
railroad rates are too high. A leading
cattle dealer estimates that on bunch
of say eight hundred head of cattle the
cost of driving per head is twelve and
half cents. The freight rate is sixty
cents with twenty cents added for
wharfage, etc. The difference is not
justified by the time saved or by the
gain in the condition of the cattle, for
if carefully driven the stock will not
suffer more than.if shipped. This par
ticuar dealer has decided to drive in
future any large bunch he handles, TN
less the freight rate is reasonably re-
duced.-Kissimmee Valley Gazette.
Mr.. D. w. Zimmerman made hur
ried trip to South Georgia last week
and gathered up a car load of cattle
from among stock which he owns vi
there, and shipped them to this city fo
Messrs. Lightsey & Lewis, to whom HI
had sold them. They arrived here
Saturday night and were taken off anc
driven to the pastures of the purchas
ers at Crooked Lake. Mr.. Zimmerman
brought thirty one head, the freight or
the car being $3.50 from Stockton, ;
station on the S. F. & w., between
Dupont and Valdosta, to this city

the second large lot Of cattle which will
be driven through the country on &C
count of the excessive rates demanded
by the railroad company. There will be
about three hundred head of cattle il
this lot and several hundred head will
be brought down later. It does seem
strange that cattle can be driven right
along by the side of the railroad for g
distance of two hundred miles cheaper
than they can be freighted, and that toe

way of educating farmers and convinc-
