The scuppernona Grape.

The ScUppernona Grape.
Now and for the next few weeks
is the time to plant scuppernOng
grape vines. We beg to inform our
readers who may be ignorant on the
subject that good nursery vines may
be had for % cents, that IL one such
is taken anu planted in the proper
adjacent TO the henroost or
the place where the wash water is
poured from the tubs-if it is watered
and fertiliZed when needed, provided
with a strong and capacious Slated
trelhs to grow upon, it will in two
years supply all the delicious grapes
needed by family. In a few years
more it will provide a bushel or two
of fruit to spare, worth at least two
dollars per bushel 1t will at the
same time furnish a pleasant shade
for the children to play under, orna-
ment to the yard or grounds with a
wholesome and comedy appearance,
and be altogether thing of pride
and pleasure. The special beauty of
the scuppernong is that it may be
multiplied by two or ten and stir pre-
serve these good qualities. 1t needs
little or no special attention, but re-
spends to it effusively. If man had
haf the money that is lost in Florida
by not cultivating scuppernonRs he
could build a railroad from Pensacola
to Cape Sable.-Tsmpa Times.

Mrs. Helen WIlliams-Post-are to be
tried again in Jacksonville, in jan

tried, that all those who had figured
prominently in that trial against her
would either be dead or suPplanted
by others before she would be tried
again. and also gave it as her opinion
that the conviction would not be sus-
tanned by the higher courts. 1t is
somewhat strange that her prophecy
has been practically fulflled.-Lake
