The Possibility .of the Grape Fruit.

A writer in the East Coast Home
seeker, giving description OF the
Richardson grape fruit grove, gives
the following wOnderfullfigures:
THE grapefruit trees are the won
der of ;hs Twentieth Century. Their
bearing capacity is simply marvellous.
When We say that many of these five.

boxes of ~ handsome fruit a. were
ever grown, we realize that many an
old oraTge grower will say That is
All impoSsibilltv." We are, however,
in a position To suostantiate the fact.
Many other trees held from seven to
ten boxes each. We can conceive how
one tree. under the most favored con-
ditiOns, r0uld De brought into extreme
~ Early bearing, but in this case the
whole grove, without scarcely an ex-
cepriOu, WAS heavily loaded with fruit.
One OF the trees bore heavily last
season, Mr.. Richardson receiving $50
in cash! FOR the fruit This tree had
more than all ordinary crop of fruit
this season. Thus far during the
tourist season thousands of people
have visited this grove; old orange

assaulted the woman, and in carrying
out his purpose had knocked the hus-

children nearly TO death. The brute
was caught with his bloody clothes
upon him.
Armed with shotguns and Win
chesters, the people marched 10 the
Jail and demanded the prisoner. Me-
Afae looked into the desperate faces
and shook his head. He did not
doubt that the negro deserved death,
but it was his duty to hold the negro
for the court, and he would try to do

The mot backed down before rs fine

stood waiting, rope in hand; lbut the
leader, who was match for the
dauntless sheriff, was not there.
When the examination had brought
out the whole revolving story, the
mob at once moved to the Jail and
demanded the surrender. McAfee
made the crowd little talk.
