Yes, Pauline, there's some satisfac-
ton in the vote of Manatee county for
the am ndment even though the state
did go wet. And then again, Pauline,
we'd rather lose than be lined up with
the whiskey interests and the low negro
element qualified to kill white men IS

Indications are that about 5000 acres
will be planted in potatoes this season
at Tasting. The rainy weather pre-
vaiing during October has proven
favorable and those who seem to know
best state that a wet fall means a good
Weld. The idea prevails to a certain
extent that potatoes are the only thing
that can be grown at Hastings, while
it is true they are the leading crop, at
the same time in addition to cabbage
and cucumbers, corn, broomcorn, rice,
sweet potatoes, sugar cane, hay and
oats. all of which yield well and com
mand good prices are grown.
Heretofore the cities and towns of
Florida have increased in population at
higher rate than the country; and, as
a result the cities of Florida are fed
largely by states further north. The
result is high prices and this in turn
opens the finest field to be found any
where in the country for industrious
men to acquire speedy wealth ny pro-
ducing articles of food for the cities.
We believe the next ten years Will show
larger rural than urban gain in Flor
ida, though we expect the cities to gain
in population as they have never gained
before.
DOYLE +. Carlton delivered one of the
most mastery, logical and impressive
temperance lectures that ever fell from
the lps of man. It's true Doyle is a
DeSoto county boy, but nevertheless
he is one of the greatest temperance
orators We ever listened to and richly
deserved the cheer after cheer that
greeted him. This DeSoto county boy
has spoken on temperance in every
county in Florida and much credit is
due him for the great temperance vote

county is proud Of Doyle h. Carlton. -
