FLORIDA'S ORANGE CROP.

Florida'S orange crop for the ap-
preaching season is cunSrrvatively eS-
limated at abuut ! 900, 900 boxes. This
is at wide Variance with the crop OF
Of 5,000.0 900 in 1S93-o4. the year before
the destructive frost. but 1t shows to
what extent the industry has recov.
cred from that catastrophe. Some Of
the growers were discouraged by the
frost into quitting the business, but
the majority pluckly reset and i'm
proved their groves, and are now be-
ginning to realize their handsome re-
ward.
In addition new lands in the far
southern part OF the Florida pennsu-
la and well below the frost line" have
been planted in orange groves and are
proving to be we'll adapted to the pro-
duction of the finest grades of oranges.
On these facts expert opinion predicts
that in five years the yield Of oranges
in Florida will he as large as before
the frost.

The majority OF the papers OF the
State favor the election OF Joe Power
to succeed his father in the Office OF
Secretary of State. No doubt he
would make very exceptional official,
and understanding the office work as
he does the people should retain him.
We trust the people uf C0ahoma
county will stand by Joe Power for
secretary Of State. Joe is a young
man of splendid ability and knows all
the workings of the 0ifice. in which he
has been for many years. He is thar
oughly competent. -. ,. T..

was referred to the election committee.

Works was read stating that an ordinance
was sent TO the Council granting the Con-

a specific purpose and other business should
not be taken up. The president referred
the communication To the railroad commit
tee. Mr.. Megrew said he would appeal
from the ruling of the chair, but before it
was necessary TO take the matter up before
the Council Megrew moved to adjourn, and
the motion prevailed. The ordinance ac-
