The doctor sat In silence for quite
a time, meditating upon the strange

from the distance, could be heard the
oaying of dogs, so that the doctor
knew he was being driven past farm

no one. At last the team came to a

The trio left the roadway and the
doctor heard the team drive off. Pear

Circuit Court Opens

The fall term of circuit court for De-
Soto county opened Tuesday morning,
with Judge B. II. Palmer, of the third
circuit, presiding, and States Attorney
Phillips in attendance.
Judge Palmer's charge to the grand
jury was one Of much force and pro-
duced a deep impression upon all.
Clearly he directed attention to the
work in hand and OF the necessity OF
conforming with duty in every pos
sible manner.
The notable record Judge Palmer
bears for thoroughness in everything
pertaining to his work on the bench
is in no way lessened at this term OF
court. Lack Of promptness always
calls for reprimand by Judge Palmer,
as several persons, who failed to be
present when wanted, found out to
their cost, heavy fines being levied for
the indignity offered the court and re-
tardment of work.

On Saturday, 18th inst, at Jackson
Vile, Capt. W. II. Johnson Of Punta
Gorda, entered the Pullman sleeper,
Portugal" 9. W. Gill, conductor,
which was attached TO the Atlantic
Coast Line Train 81, w R. Burt, con-
ductor, coming from Jacksonville to
Port Tampa. In the Portugal" were
n negro man, his wife and three chill
dren, all OF whom had secured sleeping
berths. Capt. Johnson laid the matter
before both conductors, who explained
that they we're powerlcss to do any
thing as the negroes had first-class
tickets over the line and also tickets
for berths in the Pullman sleeper
Thereupon Capt Johnson, accom-
panied by Messers J. A. Butler Of
Green Cove Springs, and L. A. shep-
herd Of Monticello, withdrew from the
Portugal and spent the night with
the "poor white trash" in the ordinary
passenger coach in front.
Capt johnson says that this is the
second time he has been confronted by
an attempt on the part Of the Pull
mans to force social equality on their
patrons. The first attempt came near
causing a riot with serious consequent
ces, but the second one was passed
peacefully for the sake OF the innocent
conductor.

thorities are lending encouragement

mans may eget lawlessuess Of a Sc

Jacksonville Society Circus.

Jacksonville is to have a genuine
society circus early in November.
This event will be the first Of it's
kind ever held in the State Of Florida
This society circus is to be und ertaken
by most Of the prominent members OF
the local Elks' Lodge, and in aid OF the
Christmas charity fund
The arrangements for the society
circus were made at the club Monday
with Louis w. Buckley, formerly OF
Jacksonville, but now an amusement
manager.
In the North and West these affairs
have met with splendid success and
have proved very en- tertaining and at
tractive. A society circus Is in reality
a burlesque on the real article, but on
this occasion the management will see
that the salient features of a genuine
tended circus will be furnished, as well
as the burlesque part.
The dates set for this circus are

guidance, assisted by the able efforts OF
States Attorney Phillips, the proceed
ings OF the court have moved quickly

being a negro. One a woman Of Punta

Gossip of the Orange Crop

The Packer under New York date of
Oct. 18th, says;
Florida oranges are beginning to
arrive in little larger quantities, and to
the credit Of shippers and growers in
that state comparatively little green
fruit lie coming now. The result will
be apparent when the movement Is at
it's height, and there is no doubt that
Florida growers will profit by this
evidently unanimous action in the
right direction. The largest shipments
up to this time have come from DeSoto
county where the packing houses are
nearly all in operation, and carlot ship
ments are going forward daily.
Reports from different sections Of
the citrus belt in the state, indicate
that the fruit is showing color. and ad-
vancing rapidly to maturity. In the
Miami district some shipments have
already been made, and Lee county
groves have sent few hundred boxes,
but it will be week or ten days be-
fore the crop will be in shape for pick
ing to begin. It is expected that some
oranges from Orange county will be
on the market this coming week, re-
ports from there indicating that the

MONEY WILL SOON
BE AVAILABLE
FOR IMPROVEMENTS
PROVIDED BY ELECTION

In very short time the bond cleo
ton Of Arcadia will bear fruit in the
form of the money derived to carry
out pi opposed public improvements.
Negotiations have been made by
which a New York firm will take the
bonds at 98 per cent, and the money
will be available as soon as legal for
malities, necessary to the sale, are
concluded.
During the trip Of @. @. Chollar to
the North he took up the matter Of
floating the bonds, with the gratifying
result above stated, and the city is
fortunate in securing such good terms,
as it lie seldom that town OF the size
Of Arcadia can so nearly reach par in
the matter Of a bond sale, and 1t is
evident that the purchasers were we'll
satisfied Of the resources of this place
and its advantages for development.
7 At that figure the sum secured will
be $29, 400, which, as soon as received,
will be turned into the various chan

These works are new school build
ing, water system and improvement OF

will be a source of qualification and an
incentive toward greater progress OF
the community.

fruit is far advanced towards maturity
in Brevard, Pasco, Volusia, Polk and
Marion counties the weather has been
cooler, and ideal for coloring the
fruit.
The report which comes from one
or two localities OF the state of sus-
picion on the part of the grower that
buyers have combined to fix an arbi-
trary price, finds little credence here.
Eastern firms prominent in the orange
deal have had their representatives in
the citrus belt looking for desirable
groves. and II the buyers have over
looked any section apparently it is be-
cause they have information showing
that fruit elsewhere will be ready for
market first, and naturally they are
looking to that fruit.
'Florida oranges are quoted here in
a jobbing way from 81 80 to 1925, and
grapefruit at $3.50 to $5 box and de-
mand ia good, and there is little danger
OF the market being glutted. The
Packer has received late reports from
its correspondents in the orange pro-
ducing sections OF the state, and sticks
to its first estimate of 100000 boxes
OF citrus fruits from the state.

This does not apply to schools which
