Albert Turner was here from Bar
berville last Saturday with wagon
load Of corn for sale. Many Of the
farmers OF the county took the Rec.
ord g advice last spring, and planted
full field crops, the corn being the
principal crop planted. As conse'
quence they have now more than
corn enough for home consumption
and for the next twelve months,
have it for sale, and get paying
prices for it. Il is the best paving
crop OF corn ever known in VOlusia
county. With plenty Of corn, hay,
fodder, peas, potatoes and syrup at
home, saves the farmers a great ex.

That Florida has become famous
by the insanity divorce bill, passed
by the last session of the legislature
presumably for the benefit Of Mr..
Flagler, is shown by the fact that
persons are coming all the way from
Missouri to Pensacola to take advan-
tage Of the law. Marshal Credible
received a letter yesterday from a
MIR, Chase, in which be informed the
Marshal that his brother, Willard
Chase, had left his home in 81. Jo-
seph, Mo-, for Pensacola, and il WINS
his suspicion that bis brother WAS
coming here for the purpose of No
cu'tnga divorce under the Florida
law, which makes insanity grounds
for divorce. He said be had heard
of the Florida laws, and as his brotl.
er's wife was an inmate Of an asylum.
and hat been for several years, he
feared that this was the reason why
Mr.. Chase had departed without in.
forming him or bis family as to where
he intended going, and had only
dropped a few remarks about Pen.
sacolA before leaving bis home. The
man who is said to have lett for Pen
'acoia has resided in st. Joseph, No,

eddy short the present season, the
price Of the staple has decliued two
cents per pound since the season

five cents less than it sold for last
