of them have both.
III. r. Dreggors has eight acres
in tomatoes, six in cukes and two
in peppers. He has been ship
ping peppers at good prices for
some time and has realized 1867
from one acre. He will probably
ship 100 crates of cukes this
week.
G. A. Wallin, who is farming
the George Mawman place, has
one and one-half acres in cukes
and the last three days of last
week shipped forty crates. Up to
Sunday, he had heard from neith-
er shipment.
j. +. Citizens, the New Jersey
man who, about seven years ago,
astonished the natives" with an
enormous cuke crop and realized
Z big thing from it, has shipped
thirty-three crates of cukes and
peppers in the last few days. He
has been offered $5 f. o. b. Punta
Gorda for his peppers.
L. A. Hawkins was offered SIS f.
o. b., but shipped his peppers and
they sold for So, netting him $5.S7
He was not sorry he shipped.
Charles Cochran has two acres
in peppers, two in cukes and two
in tomatoes. He has been ship
ping peppers and receiving a good
price.
Most of those who are trucking
this year are business men and
are trucking as a "side line. !"
Were they wholly dependent on
their farms for livelihood, they
would give them more attention
and do still better.
Punta Gorda farmers have less
to fear from frosts and overfows
than the growers of the East
Coast and when they learn the
game right and put their tomatoes
in slough and new land, fertilize
oftener and set their plants furth-
er apart, they will make record
breaking crops.
We understand that the toma-
toes will be packed for shipment
in the Standard Citrus Exchange
packing house.
p. M. Warn, the well-known
buyer, is here contracting with
the growers for their vegetables,
and is shipping lot of stuff.
1t is true that if the growers
will each have the wrappers for
his tomatoes nicely printed in two
or three colors, with a cut of a
tomato on them, and his own
brand it will help the sale of the
tomatoes and have a tendency to
cause them to bring fancy prices.
The Herald will be glad to pro-
cure such a cut if the growers de-
sire it to do so.

APPRECIATION SHOWN
IS BEST RECOMPENS Sc
The Village Newspaper Man Gets
for His Work
MORE VALUED THAN MONEY
Kind Words from Subscribers of
The Herald Cheer the Despond-
ent Spirit and Inspire to Re-
newed Efforts.

nCWcu GauUl 10.
For more than three months
past, the editor of The Herald has
been suffering from both physical
and mental ills. Nervous derange-
ment appears to have been (and
to be) the original cause OF all
the trouble. Some friends think
"fu" is the chief cause, but the
old man does not believe that
"fu" has as yet attacked hlm. lie
knows that his nerve trouble has
been aggravated by number pt
attacks of indigestion and other
physical ailments. These have
caused mental depression and
Encouragement, which, in turn,
has been aggravated by the many
trying details incident to the
newspaper BUSINESS.
Several days ago, when ne was
feeling unusually depressed and
wishing "for the wings OF a dove
that he might fly away" to New
Zealand or Acline, he picked up
and read some notes recently
written him by subscribers a.
broad who were sending in their
subscription renewals. In less
time than it takes to tell it, he be-
gan to cheer up. Any one re-
ceiving such notes with remit
tances in them) would feel better.
Here are a few extracts from
some of them:
Mrs. Ella B. Albert, Faribault,
Minn Il enclose check for anoth-
er years subscription to your ex-
cellent paper. greatly enjoy
reading it.
Mrs. Helen F. Richmond, Phila-
delphia The children join me in

perity of your paper, which is one
of our most welcome visitors.
Mrs. Grace M. Conolly, Ashe-
Vile. N. c.. Il read The Herald
with great interest and do not
wish to miss a single copy Of it.
Mr.. M. E. Moore, Charleston,

from Jacksonville to Key West;
but, when | think of Florida, my
heart always turns to Punta Cor
da, with every kind thought and
good wish for all my good friends
there.
These cheering expression S
from ladies in other states, brought
to mind equally kind words
spoken by Punta Gorda ladies
when, during the past few weeks,
they called in the office to renew
their subscriptions. Amongst
those who thus frightened the
sanctum both by their presence
and by their compliments to the
paper, were: Mrs. S. j. Hewitt,
Mrs. j. N. Skies, Mrs. Amanda
CASTOR, Mrs. F. M. Glover, Mrs.
A. L. Wilde, Mrs. A. S. Burnham,
