A friend of mine, remarlxing upon the
Arrangement OF the local coal
dealers to the effect that they had
boosted up the price of anthracite, In
order that the public might not swamp
them with orders. and exhaust their sup
ply, said that II reminded him OF the de-
cision arrived at by a Seaconnet store
keeper. a few seasons ago. A lady took
hrr children 10 the little shop 10 treat
them TO sticks of candy. The jars We're
empty and the country merchant said
that he would not replenish his stock.
Whats the use er doin' it?' he asked.
"Fast's f,ll 'em up the darned city folks

nohow."

We wish to call special attention to
the tableau, Coming Through the Rye. d"
The Scottish characters were we'll i'm
personated by Miss China, Scottish lass,
and Miss Carrie JOrgensen, the Scottish
laddie. The entire tableau was skill
fully and thrillingly executed. 1t was a
rare treat-one that We should be glad
to have repeated.
Miss Laura JOrgensen then recited
1.-The Lesson to Lovers" in a manner
which completely captivated the au-

A Beautiful and Thrifty Grove

Last Sunday afternoon it was the pleas
ure Of the writer, in company with Prof.
Moon, TO visit Mr.. w. NJ. Browns orange
grove at LaCirange. They were met by
John Atkinson, the cOlOred man in charge,
who showed them through the grove and
explained the conditions Of the trees 10
them.
There are fifteen acIes in the grove;
about twelve acres are In bearing trees
and three acres in young, budded trees,
which, good weather permitting, will
come into bearing with IL bOuntIful crop
next season. The trees are all nlarycls Of
beauty, verdure and fruitiulness. There
are very few trees in the twelve acres
mentioned whose heavily-ladcn limbs are
not supported 10y props. Many trees have
cisnt Ia twelve boxes Of oranges on them
now, and II II believed that Mr. Brown
will gather $40 boxes from the whole,
which, at the low estimate of s. per box,
fob, will bring hlm Il very good sum
and he will, in all probability, get more.
The fruit is all of the smooth, golden
bright, thn-skinned variety, which al
WAYS commands highest prices in north
ern markets.
That our readers may better cOntem-
plate this beautiful marvel. We Will saw
that this grove was once frozen 10 the
ground and the trees are only five years
old from the roots. No fertilizer has been
used on tins grove, it being in tine edge of
Il hammock. Mr.. Brown has saved his
grove every winter, since the memorable
freeze of 90, by building fires among
the trees, ami he will do - again, when
ever the weather demands.

TTUsvHLE. FLA, FRIDAY. OCTOBER 26. 1900
Town Election.

The annual election of city officers
passed of quietly at the courthouse Mon
day. Very little interest was manifested,
as there was only one ticket in the field.
Only twenty-seven ballots were cast and
one OF these was mutilated and conse-
quently thrown out, leaving twenty-six-
straight votes cast, as follows:
For mayor, A. ID. Penney; marshal and
collector, MS. Jones, Jr.; clerk and treas
urer, C.S.Schuyler; c. assessor, John Henry;
aldermen, G.F. Duren and ]. NJ. Dixon.
This is by far the lightest vote eyer cast
at town election since this place was
incorporated, some fourteen years ago.

Appointment Cancelled.

The farmers institute, which was adj
vertised TO he held at this place Monday,
failed to- materialize, the speakers who
had addressed the people on various sub
jects at Miami, West Palm Beach and
Jensen, passing us by that day and going
TO Daytona, where they had an appoint
ment Tuesday. We are informed that
they had very good reasons for so doing;
as no arrangements had been made by a
local committee to receive them, provide
a place for speaking and for entertaining
them while here. This feeling of apathy
certainly does not speak well for our
town. Prof Stockbridge, MAJOR Healey,
Mr. Hart and others wanted TO stop here,
and even went to the trouble of wiring
for information regarding arrangements
made here for them, and failing to receive
such information nothing was left for
them hut to cancel the appointment. Ii
seems to us that our people are a little
blind to their own personal interests III
failing TO enlighten themselves OH agri-
cultural subjects when such an opportun-
ity as this has been afforded them. The
meetings at Miami, West Palm Beach and
Jensen were well attended and thorough.
