the pleasure OF announcing that lion.

Spdrkman having considered the mat
ter earnestly anu matuTeIy. lie has
been chiefly impelled by the praCLiC
ally unanimous wish OF the people OF
his district, and the evident desire OF
many people in All parts Of the state.
His position in the house enables
him 10 be Of great material advantage
To the people nc represents, anu he
has been more influenced by this fact
than any and all others. Ills person
al preferences, ii he would permit
himself TO have any under the cir
cumstances, would have been in a
measure to a different course, but he
has heard 50 emphatically from all
people of the district and state that
lie could not disregard their wishes
He is moved by sense OF public duty
TO this decision, which will be vel
come intelligence 10 the people inter
ested and especially 10 the people OF

ness. To undertake this he has con
scented, and will be again a candidate
for the approval and denomination OF
bis constituents for his present seat
in the house Of representatives.
For which the Times is very glad

possibility Of any opposition TO the
congressman denomination and re
CARDS the matter as settled for the
coming term.-Tampa Times.

w. A. Fulton in Luck

Hon. W. A. Fulton is shipping this
week a carload of grapefruit from two
Of his groves near town. The load
consists of three hundred boxes, and
came from three hundred trees. Had
il not been for the dry weather at the
beginning of spring, which made so
many Of the blossoms fall OFF. he
would have gathered one thousand
boxes this season. He sold the fruit
to Mr.. Fuller of Tampa for s1O5O. Mr..
Fuller re-sold them for s1125 shortly
after their purchase. The trees from
which this fruit was gathered are
only three years old, but vigorous and
healthy. When We consider that
grapefruit are more tender than or
ange trees. We are foTCibly reminded
that We are we'll within the orange
belt.-Brooksville Argus.

The returns OF the freight department
of the Bangor & Aroostook railroad for
the month OF November show the total OF
the potatoes shipped over the road during
the month to be 67,551 bushels. This
brings the total shipments of the 1907 crop
to Nov. 80, up to 1854, 667 bushels. The
shipments of the 1903 crop in the same
period amounted to 3,4S2,665 bushels,

this years crop. This is decrease Of
little more than "A per cent. This tells
the story of the 1907 crop. The 1905 crop
was the largest the county ever had, but
decrease OF "A per cent. this year puts the
1907 crop far below the average
A decision in the superior court OF
Massachusetts, is OF interest SIS Affecting
some 600 members of the defunct State OF
Maine club, OF Boston. The club, which
had luxurious rooms in Ashburton place
for some months, failed to make finan-
cial success Of the undertaking and made
an assignment to its creditors. Frank
L. Simpson brought suit against one OF
the members for his years dues, for the
year, April 1907 to April 1903. 1t was
shown that the clubs bylaws made it
obligatory on members to pay their dues
in advance on April l. Assignee Simpson
declared that as the members had not re-
signed previous to April, 1907, they were
still liable for their years dues. Judge
Fessenden, N the test case, found in favor
of the assignee and ordered the member to
