seem az though the raising of chickens
and the egg business ought to pay well
in this section. Only for a short time
in the spring were they below twenty
five cents dozen, and they have been
scarce at that price. 4
There is also no doubt but what monelta
can be made in the chicken business X
anyone would go at the business sys-
tematically. But it takes work and pa
thence at chicken raising, and a little
knowledge of the business.
1t is certainly fact that eggs and
chickens are higher than they should be
in this part of the State. Gainesville

The True Democrat has heretofore
urged the advantages and profit of
poultry farming for the people of this
region, and again repeats its conviction
that no industry is so we'll adapted to
this climate and none more likely to
yield satisfactory profit upon mOder-
ate investment than the growing of
poultry and poultry products.
In furtherance of the purpose in view,
we urgently recommend that those who
are so situated as to be able to apply a
part of their time and attention to this
industry should send for some good and
reliable poultry journal and give atten-
ton to the study of the requisites and
appliances necessary to the successful
practice of the industry. They will
find abundant encouragement from such
publications, as we'll as from the ex-
tremely remunerative prices which such
products now bring in the home market.

The exercises of this school will be-
gin on Monday, October 2, under the
most favorably auspices in it's history.
During the two years just completed
the enrolment has increased Ga per
cent; and the increase in the quality
of the work accomplished has been in
about the same proportion. On account
of the great overflow in patronage, the
board of public instruction has decided
to provide the most ample and approved
facilities for conducting a graded and
high school second to none in the
country.
10 the faculty have been added six
teachers who are graduates from some
of the greatest colleges of Virginia,
Kentucky and Georgia; and who, by
years of experience in the school room,
have become eminently fitted for the
work TO which they have been assigned
They have been selected with an eve
singled upon department work, and the
board takes pride in announcing to the
parents of Tallahassee and Leon county
that but few colleges can boast of
more happy selection of teachers. The
