Mr.. j. R. Hill,s Retirement.

The announcement comes from

merchant of the east coast. With a
business not confined to Daytona

The above announcement of the
collapse of Mr.. Hills health will
not fall upon our readers with the
full force of appropriateness, but the
shock is there, nevertheless, and it
strikes a cord of sympathy in the
breast of every citizen of Crescent
City whose privilege it was to live
here when j. r. Hill was one of the
leaders in the business and social
life of this place as he later got to be
in Daytona. His friends here have
long known of his decline in health,
but they have hoped that recovery
was possible without the sacrifice
that he has been forced to make of
home and business. That he has de-
cided to make the sacrifice, and
make it without unnecessary delay,
constitutes the hopeful sign in his
case, and the News along with his
hosts of old friends in these parts not
only hope but confidently expect
to see him on his feet again, and
once on his feet Re will not long re-
main in the background in a business
and social way. Mr.. Hill still has
interests in Crescent City, and it is
thought that he may come here for
short rest. His friends hope so.

Lots of Orange Blooms.

One only needs to take trip
through the larger orange groves in
and about Crescent City to become
satisfied that the coming seasons
gives promise of return to our old
time prosperity. Many of the groves
are absolutely heavy with bloom,
and while it is impossible to pre-
dict the size of the coming season
crop from this show of flower, the
News believes it makes conserva-
tive estimate when it places next
falls crop of fruit from Crescent
City at from 10000 to $4,000 boxes.
Many of the trees are third larger
than last year, and thousands of
them that bore little if any fruit last
season will be laden this fall. Last
years crop amounted to more than
$500 boxes, and to one who has taken
the trouble to look over the groves
it is easy to believe that the coming
crop will be fully four times as great.
The Mccormick Il Hubbs trees
which had little if any fruit last year
are blooming generously this, and
the larger trees are capable of bear
ing at least two boxes. They have
from 1900 to 1900 large trees.
Capt, ]. w. Miller has 1900 trees
capable of bearing fruit. Last year
he shipped 72O boxes. The larger
trees both ON his home place and on
the old Burton & Harrison groves
are now laden with bloom, and any
one who harbors any doubt as to our
estimate of his crop will have that
doubt dispelled by looking through
his groves this week. 1t is safe to say
that he will have from 5000 to $500
boxes.
The big Williams grove is also
a pretty sight, and will be a heavy
bearer this year as also will the grow
es of Chas. Morrow and M. H. White
and dozen or more growers in that
section. Crescent City will soon be
on it's feet again.
