j. II. Wylie the well-known nur-
seryman of Interlachen was in the
city early in the week. Mr.. Wylie
states that the great enquiry for cit
rus tree stock in all parts of this and
other counties, denotes a rapid revi.
val of interest in orange growing.
He believes that it will be but a short
time ere Putnam county takes its old
place as leader in orange culture,
but he is advising that growers bud
on sour and trifoliata stock, they be-
ing harder and better able to with
stand cold.

The Mother Hubbard Drill given
under the auspices of the Gem City
Guards at the Armory on Wednesday
night, while not so well atteded,
was a success socially speaking.
There were about SO present and
many more would have went out had
the weather been nice. The drill
feature of the entertainment occupied
about 30 minutes and the figures
were comical, entertaining and well
executed. A dance followed this,
making up an evening of genuine
pleasure until a late hour, when the
merry crowd of young people began
to leavefor home.
Misses Frederick Banks, Leila and
Nellie Downing formed a party of
young ladies that left for their homes

ing the past winter by rendering
many excellent vocal solos. Miss
Nellie Downing was popular sales
lady in Leo Jacobson's dry goods
store and by her obliging and cour-
teous manner won many friends.
The unanimous wish of their friends
here is that they may honor our
city with II visit next season.
