Japanese Sugar Cane.
W. P. Balkom was in town last Fri
day and brought a sample stalk Of his
Japanese sugar cane that measured
ten feet and three inches of sold
joints. This is the largest that we
have seen, and we are wondering
what the Fair is going to bring forth
in this line any way.-De Funlak

The Fair and the Fever.
Howard CawthOn returned Sunday

railroad where he has been billing the
big air. He could get no purther up
the Yellow River road than Laure.
Hill on account of the senseless|
quarantine at Florala, which accord
ing to the FlOrala News, is a mighty
flexible sort of concern, the officials
admitting those they choose and shut

A Gadsden County Kid.
Byron Gregory, the 9-year-old son OF
Mr.. A. S. Gregory of Gadsden county
and a nephew of Mr. William Sauls VI
the Daily Capital gang, has ninety-fiv5
dollars in cold cash for his Christmas
money this year Bryons father gave
him a small piece of land near the
homestead for a tobacco patch, with
the understanding that if he did ali
the cultivation and gathering himself
that the proceeds would be his alone
to spend as he liked. Byron is a nervy
lad and ne tackled that patch cary
and often, when not going to school or
fishing. The only assistance that ne
had was that his father did the plow
ing for him to get his patch in conui-
ton for cultivation. There is a mora.
in this, and It also shows what cal
sden county can do in the way Of get
ting money out of its splendid soil

The Bay Country and Pensacola.
The Bay country which depends al
most wholly on water communication
with Pensacola is the most affected
of any locality in this section by the
present quarantine restrictions in Pen
sacOla. The freight boats now have
to load and then lie at the quarantine
station for five days before coming up
the bay. Fortunately the merchants
down there have laid in unusually
heavy stocks, so that their trade VIII
suffer but little if any Inconvenience, /
unless the situation should become /
much more serious than it is now

A New FLORIDA Pear.
Mr.. G.. d. Shaw has a pear tseeI
on his place north of town that is al
wonder 1t is a LeCOnte Seeding, but
differs much from its parent in char
acter. and quality This pear ripens
on the tree without getting mushy at I
the core, has a fine flavor and is
sweeter than the LeCOnte. This pear
is as heavy a bearer as the Kieffer, /
but excels that fruit in every respect |
except as a pHOjectile for piercing
armOr plate or bOmbarding foTtifica-
tiOns. 1t ripens late, coming into its
best showing after LeConte shipments
arc done. This spear was named the /
Florida" by DR.. Shaw and d. L. Pier
son after consultation, and has been
prOpagated to some extent by the
Summit Nurseries. There is little
doubt that this new peai would be
come a favorite with proper handling
as it is the best table pear ever
grown here.-Monticello News.
HUggng His Typewriter.
II is told that in a nearby town re-
Gently a local newspaper published a
paragraph stating that certain Dusi-
ness man of the town was in the
habit of hugging his lady typewriter,
and if he didn't quit his name would
be published. Before the paper an
peared the following week twenty
three business men called, paid up
their subscriptions, left orders for
twenty-three columns of advertising

Fair at De Funiak Springs.
From a catalogue and premium list
received at this Office, we are authOri-
tatively informed that the Gulf Coast
Fair and Agricultural Exposition will
be held at DeFuniak Springs, Novem-
Der 1st TO 4th inclusive. The premium
list proves to all that they are il
earnest and have offered some good
prizes.
The DeFuniak Fair will be an exhi-
bitiOn Of interest to all farmers and
fine stock breeders Of Florida, as It
will be more of an exhibition of that
character than a vaudeville perform
ance. Such fairs are for the educa-
ton of the farmers of the State:
where they can meet and compare
notes, also learn what viii be the
most profitable crops and stock for
their respective localities.
