Horticultural Report for 1904
X.Y.gz.

We are in receipt of copy of the
annual report of the Florida State
Horticultural Society for 1904. This
volume is well worth, to anyone in
terested in horticulture or agricul-
ture i'm the state of Florida, five
times its cost, and instead of the
membership of the society being five
or six hundred, it should run up into
the thousands. This report should
be in the hands of every grower in
the state, but as the society does not
receive any state aid in its publica-
ton. the distribution of the book
must be confined to its membership.
The frontispiece is a handsome pic
ture of the late Stephen Powers, for
a number of years the hOnored Sec
rotary Of the society. Anyone can
receive a copy of this book by re-
hitting 81 to the secretary as mem
bership fee. Beside the report the
members will receive the benefit of
the reduced rates in travelling to and
from the place of meeting.

sunday at the Christian Church.

''Three Glasses of Disciples" was
Mr.. Rowlands' morning subject, and
no more edifying sermon has been
delivered in Ocala. He dealt with the
rash or percipitant follow of Christ,
who acting upon the impulse of the
moment, and not counting the cost,
said 81 will follow Thee whitherso-
ever Thou goest." The second kind
of disciple was the procrastinating or
entangled follower who knows that
he should follow Jesus, but this per-
son has something to do and intends
to follow Him at some future day,
and he gives as an excuse "suffer me
first to go and bring my father" The
third kind of disciple was the .waver-
ing or irresolute one, who says: "Suf-
fer me first to bid farewell toEthese
in my house and 1 will follow Thee"
''No man having put his hand to the
pillow and looks back is Sftl. for the
kingdom of God, >" but all followers of
Christ should say, "Jesus, my cross
have taken. all to leave and follow
Thee"
The subject of Mr.. Rowland's
evening discourse was Casting the
first stone." The people, following
Christ, while upon this earth COM
posed a vast multitude, who sum-
moned Him for various reasons.
Some came for the loaves and fishes;
some for the purpose of being healed;
some to be taught the wayHof life, but
the greater number came as fault
finders, who were divided into two
class: the pickers and the kickers.
Mrs. T. H. Johnson and Miss John
ME Liddon, sang two beautiful solos
at the evening service, which, were
most acceptable and added much to
the beauty of the service.
Some improvements and enlarge
mants have been made in the pulpit.
The choir is now behind the minister
which is a decided improvement.

Equalization of Assessments

Complaint has been made to us that
recently the county commissioners, in
am attempt to equalize the taxes, have
been guilty of unjust discrimination in
the fixing of values as against persons
rather than equalizing values of prop
erty. We believe that there should be
some speedy, cheap and simple method
provided by law to protect citizens
from a repetition of injustices of this
nature.
We thank the court and its officers,
and the officers of the county gener-
ally. for courtesy and attentions shown
us during our service at this term.
Very respectfully submitted,
Frank A league, Foreman.

Busy-Accidents and Personals.

Patrick Driscoll owns four of the
best paying silver and gold mines in
the Chloride valley, OF Mojave county,
Arizona, and has an income of over
$4,000 year, yet he spends no more
than $50 a month for his personal
comfort. Many generous gifts. howev-
er, have come from the Driscoll bank
account to poor miners and their suf-
fering families, says Chicago Chron-
icle.
Driscoll is supposed to be worth be-
tween $1,200,000 and $1,600,00O. His
income from his mines is $4,000 a
month, and he draws about $4,000 a
year dividends on railroad stock in
which he invested in the early days.
He has no relatives as far as he
knows.
The old miner had experienced all
the prospector's poverty and hardship
until he was past middle age, when
he drifted down to the Calico mines,
in San Berdardino county, California,
in 1881. There he found a mine which
he sold for $4,000. This gave him his
first capital to deal with in mining on
his own account. From Calico he went
to Arizona, and in two years located
a base ore mine of silver, gold and
lead in combinations. The Diana and
Antrim mines became his. He invest
ed his profits in the Harqua Hala
mines and doubled his wealth in few
years. From that time he has been
prospecting to a degree undreamed OF
by him.
He has never changed his manner OF
living. He is over so and in fine health
