eVeryWhefe. and thousands upon tliou-
sands spring up every season, where
the nuts are washed By the rains o.
dropped BY the birds which feast upon
them. II these trees had been budded
with merehantable varieties When
young they would now be producing
thousands Of bushels Of the finest nuts
annually. But Of even these inferior
varieties Tallahassee sells hundreds Of
dollars worth each year.
There are quite q number Of grOvesyOf

but actually contributes considerable
funds to the State treasury. A recent
issue Of the Pensacola News said Of
him:

sum for two years.

the Legislature escaped
Very thoughtless in that Tallahassee
mob to permit the members of the
Legislature to get out Of town before
It set about Kidding the community Of
undesirable citizens.
That Tallahassee mob was a few days
late. Think what a service il could
have rendered the State by getting
busy before the Legislature adjourned.
