SHERIFF CHRISTIAN
CATCHES CONVICT
WHILE LOOKING FOR ONE HE
UNEXPECTEDLY CAPT
URES ANOTHER.

Sheriff c. NJ Christian, of Web
ster county, was requested by War
den c. d. Marshall, of Terrell county,
to be on the lookout for Sam Reese,
alias Black Beauty" a negro who
had escaped from the Terrell county
changing.
The Webster officer Immediately
began a search for the escaped con
vict, who was serving a sentence of
10 years for burglarizing and burn
ing the Anderson store at Jones' cross
roads, six miles north of Dawson. He
was informed that the fugitive was at
a certain house, and upon arrival
there the sheriff found a big burly
negro who answered the description
that had been furnished him. The ne
gro was taken into custody and
brought to Dawson.
Then a surprise was sprung on
Sheriff Christian. The prisoner was
not Reese, who he thought he had
under arrest, but was General Ste
vens, another convict, who escaped
from the gang here in 1919.
Stevens has resumed the work on the
public roads where he left off four
years ago, and Sheriff Christian has
resumed his quest for the BLACK
Beauty" who will, if he is in the re-
gions hereabouts, sooner or later be-
come more intimately acquainted with
this persistent officer.

States come from ASiatiC Turkey.

The superior adaptability to Sat
suma oranges of the West Florida ter
ritory surrounding Round Lake has
been absolutely established-climate,
elevation, drainage, rainfall, soil-all
conditions are favorable. Here is
found everything characteristic OF
the sections of Florida in which later
varieties of citrus fruits grow to best
advantage. In addition, the heavier,
richer soil makes entirely feasible oil"

Since the possibilities of Satsdma-
land became generally known, devel-
opment of orange groves has been
rendered somewhat slow by scarcity
of trees. Several months ago, the
Round Lake Satsuma Company, affili-
ated with the old-estatlished and
widely known Dekle Land Company,
decided upon positive steps to over
come this handicap. Arrangements
were made, therefore, for the pur-
chase of thousands of healthy, thrifty
Satsuma trees, for delivery during the
1924 planting season, and a consid-
cradle acreage of the choicest Sat
suma land in the world was cleared
and made ready for planting.
