All garden truck will be ruin ed. and there will not be any fall AAbH NA AAA " W AAAhtA AANE AAAA9 ' VOL Q The only hope now Is that there will be crop after Christmas. and no frost on account of the ground being so wet
 From a letter written Oct 26th., ''lt rained three days and three nights and two showers since. La Bell has i five feet of water in its streets. It ] Is 2S miles from Moore Haven on the 1 Caloosahatehee River The water here IS from six inches to fourteen l inches in the streets. and We cannot get any relief until the water goes down at La Bell La Bell has miles of low land about it. and the water is running into the Galoosahatches. The water has left the river. and 1t is a big sea for fifteen miles all around La Bell All the people who live in the low land about Moore Haven are leaving until the water goes down. There can hardly be any farming in this district for ninety days Road work will be at a stand still"
 So much for Florida the blest. when 1t rains Considering that the north is suffering from that rare thing. an autumn drought. the distribution of blessings blights-seems bit un- equal.
