TEA IN FLORIDA.
The Finest Kind Can Be Raised There

Gen. Wm. G. lie Due, former Com
missioner of Agriculture, sends us the
following old clipping from the Lake
City tFla.) Reporter of 1882:
Since YOUR notice of my raising
China tea in Florida number of per-
sons have. been attracted to the sub
ject of tea raising, and no doubt have
become anxious to know more about it,
and / don't know that / could do the
public a better service than to give
them short statement in regard to
this matter.
II obtained n small twig or switch Of
the tea plant, and planted it in my gar
den. but paid it very little attention.
watering it, perhaps, time or two.
This was in the hot Summer season;
did not appreciate it TO any consider
able extent. During that Summer my
tea plant grew up % or 80 inches in
hight. but the cold weather of the fol-
lowing Winter killed it to the ground,
and L feared at first l had lost it, but
as soon as the genial rays of Spring sun
came down upon il il sprang up again,
and that year it bloomed and bore some
seed. which fell on the ground around
the plant, AID soon sprang up in the
shape of young plants That was in
the Spring of 1881. Ending it so easy
to propaeste. / planted some five or six
additional riants, which grew off finely

the Spring OF 1882 found that my tea
plants were not dead. they coming up
from the old root and growing off like
they had been well taken care of. Sick
ness in my family prevented my giving

but this was not so palatable as might
be desired. ], however. cured some Of
the leaves. and succeeded in producing
most delicious tea. After this / gath
cred what leaves were on the plants-I
suppose not less than two or three
pounds. | am sure If i had picked the
leaves early enough that by the 1st of
September could have gathered six to
10 pounds, and this without the least
culture save that of pulling ont few
weeds There is no doubt that 1t would
nave done much better if the ground
had been well pulveriZed and enriched
little. The gathering is the only
trouble, and any child can do that A
plot Of ground 80 by 80 will yield an
abundance for any family, and the labor
IN cuitiVating ii requires only a few
hours in the entire season. Their. is
not the least excuse for any family in
Florida being without this lux,lry-|
none so poor but they may enjoy 1t

Future of Memorial Day.

Rev. W. l.. Pease, Cos. and b, 39tll
H., writes from Snohomish, Wash
Memorial Day, 1909, was solennIy oh.
served here by the G. A. r., the W. II. C.
and the l.. OF q. \. II. There were flow
ers in profusion ut rhe monuments and
graves, and abundant flowers at the hall.
Comrades, Corps, and Circle were present
IN full force of the respective organiza-
tons. The ritual exercises were conduct
ed with touching spirit, inculcating pa-
triotism, good citizenship and loyalty. The
services were of a character 10 instruc,

the responsibility for the observance OF
this Memorial; but how is a Post alone To-
secure such observance, where custom for

would think themselves intruiers TO AS

to do so. 1t is none too soon to Law Il

good. and open the way for its perpetua-

veterans had come back few days before.
and when they made the charge the rebe,
works seemed thinly occupied. AS they
got nearer the .IOhnries came in very
thickly and il was soon apparent that
there We're too many there. The regiment
lay down and waited for supports to come
up. None did, and at dark TIE Jebnn:es
came out and took them prisoners. A few
ran back and escaped. Comrade Miner
happened to be on rear guard at the time,
which saved him and few others from
being captured. When he got back 20
camp at Chapin's Farm he found some y,
of his regiment. He does not think that
his flagstaff is at Capital of Georgia. for
he does not believe that they took il with
them, but that it was with the other poF-
ton of the regiment at Norfolk. He wishes
some member of the regiment would give
him some particulars.

FLORIDA IS COMING TO THE FRONT.
knowledge Of the Advantages Of That State Increases and Grea
Future is Predicted -

the future, of security, comfort and
health now.
Improved transportation facilities
are opening up new tracts, making
them accessible as homes, and eventual
ly giving them value for business pur-
poses.
"Of the men now selling land, many
actually believe that they are charging
too much and getting from the public
more than they ought to get.
But those very land men, many of
them, will live to lament the fact that
they sold their land even for three
times its apparent value: they will Bit
terly regret that they did not hold on
to it.
Think about land, about combining
the saving of rent, the making of a
good, safe investment and big future
profits, and, above all, a comfortable.
healthy home for yourself and family.
Don't be in too great a hurry, but
don't wait too long. Little by little the
/, land in the best places Will slip away
, and go up in value.
IF you can afford it, buy two or
three tracts rather than one. As soon
as you improve one tract it increases
the value of the others, and that in
crease might as we'll come to you.
IF you are not able to build now,
buy yonr land, pay for it little by little
il you cannot pay for all.
Don't be discouraged if you fail to
see dozens of buildings sprouting like
mushrooms. Growth comes slowly, even
after transportation facilities exist.
Get your piece of ground now, use
your judgment and then stick to your
judgment and have confidence.
BE deliberate, careful and get on
established lines with shipping facili-
ties.
But get a good piece of land and
hold onto it if you can"

His Goth Anniversary as a Lawyer.

As the June term of the court at Hyde
Park, Vt, was closing, summons was
sent to Col. Il. b. Sawyer to come to the
court room at once. When he arrived
there he found almost all the members OF
the I.amoille County Bar awaiting him.
and Judge Fl. Henry Powers, speaking
from the bench, reminded him that it was
just 10 years ago that he was admitted
to the bar. His brethren. of the bar
had decided to honor that event by making
up a purse of 80 gold dollars as a testi-
moniai of their esteem for him.. Col Saw
yer was taken completely by surprise, and
Judge Walker, in presenting the purse,
took occasion to pay high compliment 20
the Colonel as a soldier. He spoke of this
from personal knowledge. as Judge Welker
was member of the LIST VT. Cav, which
Col. Sawyer commanded. Col. Sawyer's
recrd of 80 years has not been reached by
any other member of the Lamoille County
bar. Of this, IL years were served as
County Clerk.

Death Traps i'm the Rockies.

In some of the high piateaux o.
mesas of the Rocky Mountains, says q
writer in the August Wide World Mag
azine, there are to be found 4 snort
distance from the edge, cracks or fis-
sures not more than four feet wide and
often as much as so feet deep. During
the terrific blizzards that rage in the
Winter these crevices are filed TO the
level. and cattle and horses which are
rot acquainted with the country free
quently drop into. them, their struggles
only causing them TO siGk deeper and
deeper. The cracks, into which the
sun never penetrates, are like refriger-
:ttors, and the hapless brutes, when
death has come 20 their relief. simply
dry up and become to all intcnts and
purposes mum,nies.

Politics In Texas.

A comrade writes us that the Repubii-

degree unsatisfactory. For the last 40 years
it has been the practice to collect from
the Postmasters five per cent of salary
for campaign purposes. This makes quit,
tidy little sum, for which the only re-
turn by the managers is few speeches
made in some of the big cities every year.
