Orlando, Fla. Aug. 22.-The case against
w. A Tillis for the killing of Joseph w.
Prevatt, at Geneva on Saturday last,
which came up for examination yesterday
was continued until the SOth inst. There
is but one witness to the affair. He Is
J. F.. Prevatt, brother of the man who
was killed and who went with him TO
Tillis' house at the time of the trouble
and who received a charge of bird shot in
the melee On account of his injuries he
was unable to come over yesterday. 1t
is thought that he will be out by the date
set for the preliminary.
Tillis was held in a bond of $1,000 which
was promptly made up by his neighbors,
who came over with him. He returned TO
his home with them lasa night.
Mr.. c.. S. Van Houten, proprietor Of
Modello Park pinery, reports that he has
just booked an order for $1,000 smooth
cayenne pineapple plants, and that he
has been obliged to decline orders for
still greater numbers for the reason that
he has not the required plants.
Other growers have calls for all the
plants they have to spare. There seems
to be no falling off in the demand. The
business is attracting the attention of
capitalists who see in it more and surer
profits than any other enterprise into
which they can put their money.
