GRAPE GROWING IN FLORIDA.

St Augustine Record: While there
is every reason to believe that the
ideas advanced by Mr.. George C. Huss-
man, the government expert in viticul-
ture, who declares that Florida is an
ideal place to grow early table grapes
for the market, his view that the
grapes of the muscadine or scupper-
nong family are worth but little atten-
ton. will hardly be accepted in this
section. Some of the finest grapes
which have been seen recently in the
market are grown within the city linn
its by j. c. Beach at his home, No. so
Rhode avenue. Mr.. Beach brought a
sample basket to the Record office to-
day. They were of the Black flower
variety, large black grapes, well clus-
tered and of a delicious flavor. Mr.
Beach has a vineyard a quarter of an
acre in extent in which he has six va
lieties of grapes, all of which save a
bronze grape are heavily fruited Some
of the varieties are not yet ripe and
from this fact he will have a success
sion of matured fruit. At present he
finds a ready sale in town and has
none to send elsewhere but is of the
opinion that they will pay handsomely
to raise for shipment. For wine-mak-
ing and as a table fruit they are in
demand, and as the several varieties
ripen at different times they can be
marketed all during the summer.

"No FENcEy NOT FAVORED.

Gainesville Sun: The Tampa Herald
is of the opinion that the mo fence"
question will be prominent factor in
the next Legislature. The Sun is of
the opinion that Editor Walpole was
never more badly mistaken in his life.
There is not a man in the whole state
possessed of such little sagacity as to
introduce a general mo fence bill in
the next Legislature. Local bills may
be introduced in a few instances,
where peculiar conditions exist but no
general bill will be offered, for it would
be indefinitely postponed" before the
clerk could read the second line of the
title. So far as Alachua county is con-
cerned there is not a district within it's
entire boundary where a corporars
guard favor mo fence" law, and we
believe the Herald will discover that
the question is very unpopular in the
rural districts of old I1illsboro.

Insurance figures.

Few people have any idea Of the
erormity Of the insurance business
Of the United States, it not only
exceeds that of any other country,
but is twice as great as that OF all
the rest of the world combined. At
the present time there is in the
United State: about $4,000 OO,-
900 of life insurance III force, in
Guiding assessment business, says
Leslie's Weekly. This means over
$3.50 for every man. woman and
child in the country, or $500 for ev-
cry family. The annual risks writ
ten by the fire insurance companies
are estimated at $20,O00,000, which
is $3.50 per capita, or $3.50 per
family. Thus it will be seen that
every family in the country on an
average has insurance assets Of over
$4,000.
