me announcement In the News OF
| st week that Horace Prior of Como
would begin suit against the town
for the Illegal sale of some of his
hogs which had been impounded,
is not causing any worry on the part
OF the town authorities.
Mr.. Prior was here last week and
the facts were laid before him and
not before any reputed agent, and
Mr.. Prior now knows exactly what
he has to contend with in his threat
ened suit.
The man who pretended to repre-
sent Mr.. Prior at the time the hogs
were imponnded had misrepresented
the facts to his principal.
The hogs were legally impounded.
They We're then properly adver-
tised and sold on the third day.
Neither Mr.. Prior or his agent
ever offered the marshal or any
other city official money to redeem
the hogs.
1t is not necessary under the ordi-
nance to notify the owner of the i'm
pounded hogs. That can not always
lie done. But the mayor, having
reason to believe the hogs in the
town pound belonged to Mr.. Prior,
as matter of neighborly courtesy
only, notified Mr.. Prior that his
hogs had been impounded. After
this Mr.. Prior allowed them to go to
sale.
There is Il strangelook to this case.
1t looks as il there was to be con-
certed action on the part of stock
owners outside the town to test the
right of the town to prevent hog
owners in the country from driving
their stock to the town for pasture.
This is the view taken by town Off
cials, will welcome the opportunity to
test the law. Its settlement will put
an end to controversy and bar the
hogs from the town. 1t is not
thought that Mr. Prior is a party to
this scheme, willingly, but it is the
impression that his case is to be
utilized as the basis of a test.
a census of Crescent City was
taken over Il year ago, 1t showed u
number of inhabitants sufficient to
make a. hog ordinance legal. This
census together with names of in
naDitantS is an open book and can be
seen by any man at any time.
The town council is prepared to de
fend the law and will not dodge the
issue in the courts.
The streets of Crescent City are
not to be made pasture grounds for
hogs. That is the pronunciamento
of the town council and it Is Il mani
fcsto which has the hearty support
of every citizen.

Wouldn't Listen to EXplana-

who knew everything looked in the

FORT BLUNDER.
How II Was That UUcie sam Bot
IL on British Soil.


Curious indeed is an American fort
which was built on British soil. How
many can guess what fort it is and
where located? The name is Fort
Montgomery, and the location is on an
island near the foot of Lake Champlain,
about half a mile northeast of Rouse
Point, N. Y.
A short time ago, when travelling III
that part of the country, saw this fort
and asked the name of it. "Why, that
is Fort Blunder," said my informant.
Did you never hear of itY' confessed
ignorance, and he explained matters.
1t seems that after the war of 1912
the government of the United States
became convinced that the entrance to
Lake Champlain should be guarded by
Il fort strong enough to engage any
British feet which might attempt tC
force an entrance to the lake, and Sc
Fort Montgomery was constructed at
a cost of nearly $500,000 1t was an
immense fertilization for those days
and was arranged for three tiers of
guns.
Just about the time it was completed
the joint surveyors fixing the line be.
tween the United States and Canada
came along and, after doing good bit
of figuring, announced that Fort Mont.
gomery was on Canadian soil. The
northern boundary of New York state
was the forty-ffth parallel, and this
fort was several hundred yards over
the line. Work on the fort came to an
immediate standstill, and the matter
was made the subject of u special
treaty.
1t was decided that in view of the
fact that the United States had not in
tentionally encroached on Canadian soil
the forty-ffth parallel should be bent a
little out of its course at this point SO
as to include the fort. That is why
the fort is called Fort Blunder." II

occupied by more than one or two men

Editor PALATKA NEWS:

Editor PALATKA NEWS:
The beautiful weather of the past
week has enabled the farmers here
to secure tons of as fine hay as ever
was put into barns.
Crops such us sugar cane, sweet
potatoes, cassava and cotton have
felt its effects also and are putting
on extraordinary growth. Especial
ly is this noticeable IN sugar cane
which gives promise of large yields
of syrup and replenished purses to
the growers. Our people are looking
more to some of the less complicated
crops for the future, move which
can but result in increased prosperity
among us.
The hundreds of thousands of tons
of sugar imported into the United
States, Notwithstanding the increas-
ed yearly output of our own mills,
warrants the assertion that in no
other is there greater surety to tho
FARMER of steady, profitable crop
than that of sugar cane, and to the
Florida farmer it is especially 50, as
our soil and climate is perfectly
adapted to its growth.
