THE THERMOMETER 22 DEGREES
AT DAYTONA.

Thursday night was the best rain
for a month. Friday was cool and
pleasant, Saturday cold wave struck
the Florida east coast for the north
west sending the thermometer down
to 81 i-2 degrees Sunday morning,
and 80 degrees Monday morning with
a strong wind blowing. Ice was frozen
in shallow vessels in the open Sunday
morning, and Monday morning ice
was found in the same places and
water pipes in some instances closed
Tender vegetables such as coleas, ba-
mana plants, ETC., were badly scOrch-
ed but we do not apprehend that or
anges or grapefruit were materially
injured.
At this writing l p. m, Monday,
there is still a cold wind, but it is
working eastward, and should it blow
from of the ocean tonight there will
be no farther freezing. There was no
information from the weather bureau
although it was the coldest spell in
two years.
L: ter-The weather continued cold
Monday and the temperature fell
steadily during the evening and reach
/ ing % degrees by a self-recording
thermometer. All tender growth is de
stroyed and the general belief is that
oranges, grapefruit, etc, are worthless
as temperature Of 26 degrees is con-
sidered as fatal. How much damage
has been done to the trees is yet to
be ascertained but they will lose their
leaves and probably the small
branches at least. Fortunately trees
were dormant and not much damage
is to be expected from the splitting of
the bark on the body of the trees. At
its best, however, the freeze of Dec.
| 24-25, 1906, will be a great loss to
orange growers.-Halifax Journal.

Mr. Frank G. Sampson, the largest

worried over the recent cold spell.
He says that in the Mcintosh section,
while all the oranges have not been
shipped almost the entire crop has
been gathered and is in the packing
houses awaiting shipment and that
none of the trees are injured and that
the reports of the excessiv low tenn
perature in south Florida he thinks
are exaggerated. That he cannot be-

extreme portion of south Florida was

How to Make the Editor Happy.

Mr.. Frank Harris, the veteran edi-
tor of the Ocala Banner, published a
card in his paper last week in which
he said:
Our patrons and friends, stretch
ing out from Florida to Maine and
even to foreign lands, can make US
superlatively happy by remembering
us with a Christmas present in the
shape of the payment of their sub
scriptions 10 January l. 1907. This
token of appreciation will be just as
nice a Christmas present as we could
wish for
A g0odly number of the Telegraph's
subscribers tried this recipe for hap
piness on our editor and it worked
charmingly But there are still others
"a great many of them in fact who
have the opportunity to add 10 our
remembrance at the time will be
much appreciated. If all OF our sub
scribers who have not paid up TO Jan
uary 1, 1907, would do SO within the
coming week all the Telegraph's debts
could be cleared up and the saper
could start he new year witn clean
sheet The amount to eact individ-
ual debtor would be small, but the
aggregate sum would make things in
this Office run nightly smoothly.
Give us a trial.-Starke Telegraph.
Many responded to the Banners ap-
peal for which it returns grateful
thanks but there are others who have
not.
In the language of Frank Stanton:
Holiday times,
And holiday chimes;
But what we're wanting
Is the holiday dimes!
And the holiday dollars"
Send along the dollars, dear, good
friends, and make the New Year a
