CoLoNIZING COMPANY.

Orlando Record: The South Apopka
region, embracing Crown Point, Ocoee
Winter Garden. Oakland. Beulah and
Gotha, is recognized as one of the most
fertile portions of the state. For years
it has been noted not only as a special
ly good orange region, but as one
where diversified farming can be profit
ably conducted. Recently a combina-
ton of few progressive citizens has
been effected to bring this section to
the notice OF settlers and induce new
corners to locate there. The South
Apopka Land and Colonization Com
pany, with Mahlon Gore of Orlando
president, and Capt. B. M. Sims of
Ocoee, general manager. has been ef-
fected. The company will have its CT
fees in the Weber block in Orlando.
and Ocoee. Capt. Sims will do the
field work on the ground running
teams from Orlando TO South Apopka
three and four times per week to con-
vey homeseekers to and over the fav-
ored region.

Jacksonville Metropolis: The boycott
inaugurated by the coIored people
against the street cars proved quite
effective yesterday This movement be-
gan at mass meeting which was held
by the colored people at st. Pauls A.
NJ. f. Church on last Thursday night,
and which was well attended by a
large element of the most respectable
colored people in the city At this
meeting conservatism prevailed. No in
fiammatory remarks were made, and
those in charge of the meeting coun-
seled good behavior, but yet an orderly
and systematic boycott. What prompt
ed the meeting and its results was the
passage by the City Council of a bill
introduced by Councilman Dodge, Civ

to all patrons of the street car COM

Lawrenceville News Herald: Mr.. c.
D. Gunter, who runs a furniture fac
tory some four or five miles from
town. has two daughters that are fast
becoming expert painters. They paint
all the furniture made at the factory
and do it well. A few days ago they
painted in one day seventy-four bed
steads. That is, they put three coats,
one of paint and two of varnish, on
seventy four bedsteads, which means
that they, putting one coat TO each
bedstead, did the work comparable to
painting 222 bedsteads in one day.
Their daily job consists in painting
thirty-six. These young ladies are
about IA and 16 years old.

The schooner Sarah D. ]. Rawson
will be towed to New York by the tug
William F. McCauley. The McCau-
ley sailed last night, having coaled ard
finished all other preparations for the
voyage during the day. The Rawson
put into Savannah some time ago
leaking, while on a voyage from Fer
nandina to New York. She was thor
oughly caulked and otherwise prepared
for the voyage to destination.
The date for the arrival of the first
steamer of the new line between Sa-
vannah and New York, is about Nov.
20, though no definite information has
yet been given out. Inquiries are be-
ing made as to the plans of the COM
pany, but these seem not to be ready
for the public yet, or at least they
have not been announced. No an
nouncement has yet been made as to
whether general freight will be accept
ed, or whether the lumber exporters
have all the room engaged for them
selves for a time. Cotton men are in
terested to know how the increased
facilities are to affect their business,
If at all. and there have also been in
quiries from naval stores exporters.
The schooner Chas. s. Hirsch, load
ing lumber at the foot of Barnard
street, is a specimen of the latter day
sailing vessel. She is a four master,
and a large carrier. Every facility
for the convenience of those aboard,
and also for the prompt handling of
lumber has been provided on her.
She was built especially for the lum-

before midnight that for while prom

Three hurried alarms summoned over
one-half of the fire department of St

streams that fairly turned the streets
into rivers was all that averted the ca

The blaze found its inception In the
second story of the building, and
was discovered by William Gibbons, a
night watchman in that locality, at 11:2O,
he promptly turning in the alarm.
When the department arrived the
flames had reached the third floor, and

the Third street entrance to the building
hampered the department, and, though
many streams of water were turned into
the doomed building, it was over an hour
before the blaze was under control.
Adjoining the building on the east was
the Commercial hotel, three-story
shack. while on the west side was the

though 1t looked as if the latter building
would be destroyed, it was saved after
considerable work, the roof also being
