Thousands of Boxes Fine Fruit
Daily Leaving Wauchula---
Packers Kept Busy With
Christmas Orders.

The orange packers are now in the
midst of their holiday rush, and the
WauchuIa packing houses present
busy scenes. Oranges are selling at
about ten cents per box below the
price packers hoped to receive, but
there ia an unlimited demand for the
fruit at $3.50 {. o. b.
Up TO date. 81, 231 boxes of Oran
ges and grapefruit have been ship
ped from this station aud IL is now
going out at the rate of about eight
car loads per day
Alexander & Baird are the heav-
lest shippers this season, and this
week thirty men we're employed in
their packing houses, A. G. Smith
has shipped as much or more fruit
than usual and has twenty-five men
employed in his two packing houses
He will also have considerable fruit
to ship after the holidays. NJ. w.
Crocker, the Florida representative
of A. Il. Young q Co, of New York,
is handling a large amount Of fruit
here this season and has twelve men
at work in the Stansfield Il Beesou
packing house. J. III. Maddox has
the Townsend packing house aud is
shipping considerable fruit, as is I.
G. Wilkinson, who has the Rainey
packing house. That old reliable
buyer, w. e Scott, of @. Wilkinson
81 Sons, Philadelphia, has been in
Wauchula through the season. He
will probably secure as many a.
forty cars for his firm this season.
Another important buyer this season
is L. A. Taylor, representing Adam
Muller, of New York. He has al
ready bought about thirty carloads
for his house and continues TO buy
freely.
There has been considerable COM
plant from the markets about fruit
wasting, but our packers have re
ceived comparatively few complaints,
as the fruit from this section has
carried well. With cooler weather
these few complaints will cease.
The quality of the fruit was never
better. 1t is nicely colored, sweet
aud juicy and the buyers OF Wau-
chula oranges will have nothing to
complain of.
The crop is much larger than ex'
pected, and this station will ship
more than one hundred thousand
boxes of fruit this season.

POLK COUNTY AND THE FAIR.

We have been reliably informed
that in about ten days the full list
Of awards at the recent state fair at
Tampa, will be completed, and will
be published in the Times-Union
and in the Tampa papers, Polk
county is waiting patiently to see
what will be the outcome Of the
protest Of her commissioner, against
the injustice Of the award made by
the judges in the matter of county
exhibits. The fair management
cannot afford to sanction a mani
fest wrong. We hope and are al
most ready to believe that credit
will be given where it is justly due.
Bnt we shall see what we shall see.

POWERFUL MEETINGS.
Elder n. B. Taylor Holding Services
at Baptist Church.

Beginning last Sunday morning
Elder II. b. Taylor, of Murray, Ky,
has been preaching with great power
twice each day in the meeting house
of the Arcadia Baptist church. Some
opposition has been stirred up by
his pungent presentation Of the
truths of Gods word; but lasting
good seems TO have been done. Rev.
Taylor is terrific in the denunciation
of sin, especially in church members;
but he fortifies his statements so
strongly with scripture that all the
hurt ones can do is to howl. His
series of sermons on God the Father,
God the Son, God the Spirit, Satan
and man end tonight friday
Sunday will be the last day of the
meeting, Many visitors from the
country have attended.

The question why is a Limited train"
so called has been propounded TO a
general passenger agent who replies
as follows:
First.--It is limited as to its time.
Second.-It is limited as TO the num-
Der of cars and weight Of train.
Third.-It is limited as to the class
OF cars.
Fourth.-lt is limited as TO the num-
Der and class Of passengers permitted
transportation thereon.
This last limit is adopted so that
every passenger may have ample ac-
commodatlon and not be crowded or
interfered with by other passengers,
The fact that an additional fare is
charged on a limited train and, fur
Their, that nothing but first class tick
cts are accepted for passage tends to
limit the class Of travel which Is car

Realizing the necessity of securing
the best material possible with which
to re. build the burnt district, and at
the same time get material that is
as nearly fire proof as possible, the
Board of Trade took up the matter
of organizing a stock company for
manufacture of cement building
blocks, with tin result that stock
has been subscribed and plans about
perfected for the erection of one OF
the best. If not the BEST plants in
the state This is a move in the
right direction, and the business
men of Arcadia are to be commended
for the way in which they have
taken hold of this matter.
There Is no reason why those who
are going to build should not get the
best material obtainable and for the
least money possible. The use Of
cement blocks as building material
has long since passed the expert.
mental stage. it is recognized today
as ono of the best building materials
on the market, SURPRISING brick in
many ways; being stronger aud
having a greater fire resistance and
are cheaper LAID than brick. AS fol-
looks, there Is no material on the
market today that will make q more
substantial or better looking build

We are informed that the compa

GOOD Horse. GOOD Riasr.

Judging from the following story
which Arthur ]. smythe tells in his
biography of William Terrlss, It is evi-
dent that the practice Of betting on
horse races was among the great dis
likes of the popular actor. -
When any one asked him what horse
he was going to back he would say:
"I'm going to back little Ally I've
often backed before. I've never won
anything on II; yet. strange to say. I've
never lost penny"
"oh, whatever horse Is thatr' might
have been the inquiry.
"A little Ally called Common Sense.
ridden by Tommy Let 1t Alone" was
the invariabIe answer.-London Tele-

Tennyson once attended a dinner
where G. L. Cralk proposed ''The La

his children: TAX my advice and dlnna

marked, Surely, father. Cralk did not
use those words" "No, he did not. But,

The meaning Of the evil eye, the
"ophthalmos baskanos" OF the Greeks,
the "fascinarep of the Romans, was
probably far more than vulgar super
sltion. We find traces of 1t In almost
every country, notably to this day
among the canny Scots who inhabit the
western isles Of the sea, OF "Ulva dark
and Colonsay," OF Skye and the Heb
rides, and among the Turks, who dis
trust the evil eye Of the stranger. But
in old classical days the power seems
chiefly to have been used for the pur-
pose Of grieyously afllcting the live
stock Of disagreeable nelghbors. SO
we find TO this day in Ireland. parts OF
Scotland and the west Of England
where this belief Is stlll prevalent Ger
tainly, I'm some form or other, mesmeric
fascination by the eye has always been
known. But that any one person, with
no matter how evil an eye, should be
able to charm frightened animals to
any extent or number is ridiculous and
not seriously TO be entertained for one

A NEEDED IMPROVEMENT.
Alley Should Be Run Through TO
Oak Street.

We desire to call the attention Of
the city council to the fact that the
alley running north and south in
block 2s does not go through the
block. 1t stops at the land line, This
alley should be opened clear through
the block TO Oak street. This is me-
cessary from a sanitary standpoint
as well as for fire protection. 1t is
the only block in the city in this con
dition and the city council should
take steps at once to acquire title to
the strip OF land necessary to open
this alley.

Burned out Yes, but not put out
Of business, is what you can hear on
all sides in our busy, bustling town.
We have been burned out, but with
a characteristic determination every
business man has gone to work 70
rebuild that which was destroyed by
the fire
Arcadia is now one of the most
progressive towns in the state. Al-
ready tweve new buildings have been
completed since the fire, and yet
more material lie arriving daily.
There will be no let up until every
building destroyed by the fire has
been replaced by handsome stone
or brick one.
The city council has granted per-
mits to build wooden buildings TO
those who desire. for one year, that
they may be able TO do business un-
til the stone blocks can be manufac-
tured by the Arcadia Sand Lime
Brick Company. This company will
bs in operation in the near future,
and all the material necessary for re-
building the burned district will be
available.
Arcadia has a bright future ahead,
aud no one feels discouraged. The
individual losses were heavy, and Of
course we're hard on some, but the
general good that will come from
the disaster, is great consolation.
Ere long Arcadia will take her stand
among the leading South Florida
cities, and good will certainly accrue
from what now seems disaster.

Company Are Wide-Awake.
There are times when the strength
or reliability of a person or corpora
ton are tested to the utmost, and at
such times they will either prove of
value or 20 down. Such has been
the test here in Arcadia, and the
promoters of one of our leading in
dustries have met the situation in a
manner that has proved that they
are alert to the interests of the city.
The Arcadia Electric Light, Ice
and Telephone Company is laying a
200 wire underground cable along
Main street through the business part
of town. When this improvement
ia completed, no town in the state
will have better telephone service
than Arcadia. Manager Scott is un.
firing in his efforts in behalf Of his
customers and says the best is none
too good for them.
Ever since the disastrous fire, the
company, has been working with
might and main to get the system
in order. The fire destroyed much
of their valuable property, but by
hard work, they announce the serv'
