0thce5 were established Tn Arizona, the names of two offices were changed and one office was dis continued. The net increase there fore is one postohice.

Cot tonia in Mohave county was changed to Lincolnia and Oljato in Navajo county was changed to Kayenta.
 Globe Silver Belt: John Robin son, the porter at the postoliice, is now certain that the milk of human kindness has not ceased to flow, and he is also 10 cents better off in a financial way than before as a result of this fact While he was sweeping out the postoifice Monday he noticed roll of bills lying on the floor near man who was writing. Picking them up he asked the man if he had lost any money, The man went through his pockets and informed the DOT ter that he had lost about $35. The porter returned the roll to the man, who in a spirit of generosity gave him 10 cents. Enough for two sacks of tobacco.
 Prescott Journal Miner. Mir. and Mrs. James H. Johnson had an almost miraculous escape from death yesterday morning at 4:30 o'clock, at their home on North Montezuma street when lightning struck the building and the bolt passed into the room within a few feet of where they were sleeping. Both were stunned by the shock but in few minutes recovered. In speaking of their experience, they say that the room presented the appearance for a moment of being ablaze, and each of their right ears were peculiarly affected, having the feeling of being burnt. This sensation continued few minutes and was painful Their hearing was not affected however. For over half an hour after the shock, the room was permeated with a very disagreeable odor, and notwithstanding that every win dow was opened this condition continued for some time. The in- teriOr of the room presented the ap- pearance of having been wrecked. l Curtain rods that were securely moored by hanges, croeKery set ting on the table, chairs and other loose articles, were all thrown to the floor in a violent manner. The ceiling of the room in the east corner, appeared to be the 1 point of entrance, and was charred 1 for a few feet. At other places the the room was dis6gured also.
 Courtland Arizonan: To be thoroughly convinced of the fact that this valley can and does pro- duce excellent fruit, one has but to go 10 the home of Wm. H. 1 Seaver, a few miles east from Courtland, where the peach trees are loaded, the limbs being pull led to the ground by the accumu- lated weight. Great large blue plums. and the smaller ones of a lighter hue, fill the trees and qem- onstrate with what success they may be grown. One pear tree. no higher than a mans head, is full of the luscious fruit Annles ara

Mohave Miner: Charles Grimes. president of the Tom Reed Gold Mines company, came in from the camp at Oatman, Monday after noon, and departed the following day to his home in Los Angeles. He is we'll pleased with the develop ments on the lower level of the mine and believes that the deep work will show the property to be one of the greatest gold mines in the territory
 Prescott Journal Miner: Dr. c. F. Bowen, general manager of the Humboldt Consolidated Mines Company, returned this morning from brief trip 10 Pasadena on company affairs, and will leave today for his camp. He is devot- ing his time to personally directing operations since the strike of rich silver ore was made few weeks ago. which is said to be the great est ever known in that section, running to over 500 ounces to the ton, while the vein averages 30 inches in width. Dr. Bowen's return is said to be for the purpose of operating on a more extensive plan than before.
 Prescott Journal Miner: Sterner F. Logan, who many years ago was located in this county, fol- lowing the vocation of miner, returned few days ago from St. Paul, Minn., and will leave early next week for the Lower Hassa- yampa country in an effort to locate what he terms is lost gold mine. He claims to have picked up rich float in the bygone days, and acquiring an insight into clair voyance in late years, believes he can find the original location, which is represented to be of i'm mense value. He states that sev- eral members of his society have been accurately directed to hidden wealth in mines, hence his mission to the old mining district to solve the problem. He has only one arm, losing the other in 6 prema ture blast at the old Vulture mine about nineteen years ago.

Buying Potato Lands.

The success of potato growing indus
try in Putnam county has been most
marked during the season just closing.
The potato farmers of the county are
now mostly in the plutocratic class,
with money TO cremate.
But this industry, extensive though it
is, grows all the time. Many more are
preparing to engage in il, and there are
vacant acres to accommodate hundreds
yet.
P. ]. Becks the well-known Lemon
street real estate dealer has some 1000
acres on his hands OF whit is regarded as
the choicest of these potato lands
land with a clay subSoil-and during the
past two weeks he has made many sales
to men who come from distant states to
engage in potato growing in Florida.
Among these purchasers are Geo. Hol-
Ginger of Washington, D. c.; ChaS. F.
Bowers of Canton, Ohio; Vincent di
Sandro of Springfield, Ohio; Jas. R.
Randolph of Nelsonville, Ohio; Edgar
l.. Williams of Sharpsville, Pa; Harry
Neinhans and John F. Neinhans of Al
ton, ILL.,, and Robert Bishan of Napo-
lecn, Ohio.
These parties have all bought in what
is known as the Hilburn-VertreeS tract
on the east side of the river, and said TO
be the best of the county'S clay bottom
lands

said that sand beds of streets and ankle
deep sand sidewalks must be replaced
with vitrified brick and cement, the old
guards and those that insisted what was
good enough for them was good enough
for their children, raised luSty and
loud protest. They asserted that never
would they conform to the present steps
of progress. The improvements could
abutt but not cross the property. So
reSolute were few of the original set
Tiers and so bitter their opposition TO the
order of things that those having the
work in charge thought it best not TO
aggravate further the intensity of their
relentless opposition. So they con.
Structed the improvements to their door
and then passed on, extending the i'm
provements on the other side. Now the
effect OF this progressive step, strange
to say, so worked on the incorrigibles
that in short time they did for them
selves what they had vowed should
never be done, demonstrating anew thai
new ideas of progress is a wonderful
lever of conversion.
Palatka possesses two admirably con
Quoted newspapers and their Contribu

town cannot be estimated in dollars ard

TO BORROW MONEY
FOR MORE PAVING
City Council Takes Matter Un-
der Advisement-The New
Committees.

AT the meeting of the city council on
Tuesday night communication was re-
ceived from the Palatka board of trade
urging the council to call an election of
free holders OF the city to vote on a
proposition to borrow $12, 500 to be used
| for additional paving, the amount TO be
borrowed at rate not exceeding D per
cent. the principle and interest TO be paid
by levy of mills, or one mill more than
the present levy. The board Of trade be-
lieved the time favorable because of the
low price of brick paving material and
the condition of certain streets not pro-
vided TO be paved in the present ordin-
ance.
The council seemed to think well of
Chairman Gay, Mayor Davis, and Alder
men Usina and Haughton was appointed
10 investigate and report on the need OF
streets and the probable cost.
Citizens of Fourth street who own
property between Oak and Laurel sent in
a petition asking for brick paving on that
block. The petition was signed by all
but one property holder in the block.
1t was laid over.
The paving ordinance recently passed
was amended to make the paving width
of Fifth street from Lemon 10 Oak
streets, "a feet wide instead of 10, and
also TO widen to 20 feet River from
Laura 220 feet south.
Alderman USina also secured the pass
age of a resolution OF instruction TO our
representatives at Tallahassee to secure
an amendment TO the city charter which
will perm il the city TO deposit its money
in any bank in Florida, instead of as at
present limiting the right TO Palatka
bank, Mr.. Usina'S point that outside that
outside banks frequently will pay high
cr rate of interest than local banks.
President Gay then announced the
following standing committees of the
council for the ensuing year:
Finance. H. Haughton, chairman;
F. H. Wilson, H. M. Fearnside.

PUTNAM COUNTY
In LEGISLATURE
And Proposed Measures Af-
fecting County Interests.

Senator Hilburn as chairman of the
important Judiciary Committee B, is
having his hands full OF work. This
committee probably considers more
bills of real importance affecting the
veal or---woe of the state than any
other, and its adverse report on a bill
is considered as knock out blow to
the measure by the senator introducing
it. MIR. Hilburn's committee has
knocked out many bills already.
Senator Hilburn has introduced a
number of important bills, among which
is bill 10 restrict contracts of insurance
and 10 prohibit each and every insur.
ance company, person, firm or corpora
tion doing an insurance business in the
State of Florida from inserting or placing
in any policy or contract of insurance
that may hereafter be entered into with
any person in the State of Florida any
provision or condition limiting the time
in which suit may be brought on proof
or death, sickness, fire, loss or damage
shall be made and making invalid, null
and void each and every such provision
and condition.
This is an important measure and one
which will be of great value to the peo-
pie. The insurance companies, how
ever, will be likely to oppose it.
OF equal importance is Mr.. Hilburn' S
bill requiring all railroad companies in
the state 10 equip all locomotives with
electric headlights.
Representative Mckenzie has intro
duced quite number of bills in the
house, the more important of which
were noted last week. His latest meas
ure, and one that is causing some people
who were not aware of MIR. Mckenzie'S
deep interest in the political welfare of
the gentler sex, 10 smile, is the joint
resolution he introduced this week for
a submission to vote of the people of
an amendment providing for female suf-
frage in Florida.
Mr. Middleton, who is on several COM
mitteeS of importance, seems not 10 have
been trying for record as an introducer
of bills. So far he has been content TO
limit his exertionS 10 the procurement
of special charter for the town of
Crescent City.
But there will be work for these rep
reSentativeS to do. A measure provid-
ing lOr TeappoTuOnment OF the leBlS-
lature has been introduced by Mr..
Stringer. Should il become law Putnam
county would hereafter be entitled TO
but one representative.
The special committee of the senate
has agreed 10 a measure increasing the
judicial circuits OF the state TO thirteen,
but under this arrangement Putnam
county would still form part Of the
Eighth circuit presided over by Judge
Wills, which the News is sure will be
eminently satisfactory TO the people of
the county.
The committee on appropriations has
reported unfavorably on Mr.. McKenzie's
bill to establish laboratory for the
manufacture of hog cholera serum, and
has recommended another bill TO cover
the purpose.

TIMELY HINTS
FOR FARMERS
Trees on the Farm.

Every dollar invested in plants. trees
and flowers adds wealth as well as
beauty to the farmstead. Trees in
crease the value of the farm and make
life more enjoyable for those who live
in the home.
There is no more genuine pleasure
than planting shade, nut and fruit
trees except the comfort of having
them on the place. AS trees grow and
spread their branches and the foliage
unfolds, develops and falls from year
to year the owner of the place feels
proud that he had civic pride enough
to plant trees and aesthetic sentiment
enough to appreciate them after they
were planted Trees make the home
brighter.
A place without shade and fruit trees
is like a desert-expOsed to the burn
ing sun of summer and the cutting
blasts of winter and without good
cheer in the spring.-Farm and Ranch.
