ITEMS.
—Bro. Allen, formerly missionary in B-r
--mab. and now District Secretary of the Mis
sionary Union, is on a visit to his daughter,
Mrs. Stevens, at Citru, on Orange Lake. He
prescind at Citra two weeks or more at
nights, and three were received into the
church by lett< r, others were asking prayer
when we heard last.
—Themeeting bouse at Micanopy will be
completed, or so far so, as to be used soon.
Bro. Bailey will be pastor of the church.
Bro. King gladly turns over the work he has
commenced there, as missionary of the
Home Board, to brother Bailey, and he will
begin to cultivate another field.
—We have heard that our brother, Rev’
C.A. Koger, was married recently, but to
whom we do not know, for be didnt write us
about it. We congratulate him. We felt,
when we visited him last fall, that it was
h>s duty to marry. Now, brother, go to
work more for the Lord, as opportunity of
fers. The field needs you.
—Rev. J. C. Porter, has been at Tallahas
see, some three or four weeks. Since his
arrival, be bas held extra services, and four
have been received by baptism, and others
are expected. His congregations are good, j
He is hopeful that a self-sustaining church
can be built up, it they can be aided for a
year or so. ,
—We have late news from Key West, that
brother Wood is still encouraged—the house
bas been improved very much, and on Sun
day evenings, will not hold the people. Sun
day school is good—lumber on the lot to
build the parsonage, etc.
—lt bas been some time since we received
any addition to our Inpbx fund, or any
money for Home or Foreign Missions. Now,
that may have—well, we only say, brethren
don’t tempt the Ixtrd to freeze your oranges,
er send insects to damage your crops.
—Bro. Pack organized a Sunday school
recently, near Melrose, and sold a good many
books, while canvasting Jacksonville. We
hope our brethren will buy and read good
books and denominational books. If it is
rightto be a Baptist, it is right and duty to
know why we are, and to oe able to tell
why.
—We have received the minutes of the
Suwannee Association, and are pleated with
the clerical and typographical work. They
> were printed at Jasper. The statistical table
is good, the columns footed up as they
should be, full list of ministers, meeting days
of churches, etc.
—W’e want, while we have the floor, to
raise a question to be voted on by the
churches. It is this: What is the use to raise
money to print Minutes, three or four
months after a body has held its meeting?
—Thanks to brother Jones for two copies
of Bethlehem Association Minutes, neatly
printed at the Franklin Printing House, Ats
laiita. Ga. Some Associations that met be
fore that have not received their Minutes.
—No report vet, of any other pastor being
treated like brother King was. Shall we hear
of no other?
—Two minutes, dear brother Clerk, or
Sastor, of your last Association, viz: Florida,
liddle and West Florida, Santa Fee River,
Hawnony, Manate-', Jerusalem, Bethlehem
No. 2. well, all all. The Bethlehem and
South Florida Association Minutes, (we
have got the last named minutes also, but
omitted to mention it above) both were
printed at the Franklin Printing House, At
lanta, and have on the cover, a very good
likeness of Rev. J. H. Tomkies, not as he
looked a tew years before bis death, but
“ more like he looked when we first met him
in the army, near Atlanta, and he came for
us to go and preach for his regiment, Col.
Bullock's.
—The Biographical Sketches of Georgia
Baptist Ministers, soon to be issued, will
have a likeness and sketch of brother Tom'-
kies, and hence the firm have the likeness,
and will put it on the cover of the Minutes,
and all Minutes printed by that House will
doubtless contain it. We wish all the As
sociations had sent their Minutes there, on
that account.
—We are going to request that it be put
in the Minutes of the Convention, and any
body can get a copy of those Minutes, with
his likeness, that-will send lOcts. Or you
can inform us how many you will take, and
we will have that many more printed.
Write us soon, for we are not going to dday
printing the Minutes. W. N. C.

LETTER FROM BROTUEIi UUGUES.
Dear Brother Chaudoin: I will give
you such news us I think you would like to
have.
First, (as there will be some pay in that
to you), have The Index sent to Mrs. T. (1.
Mathews and M. J. Chitty, both at Fleming
ton. Sorry I did not get a club at Mt. Ar
non, but I hope to do better yet. So much
for The Index.
On the 15th of December I had the pleas
ure of joining in the holy bonds of matri
mony, Mr. James U. Lanier and Miss Lula
A. Hobson, at the residence of the bride’s
father, on lake GritHn, alter which we par
took of one of the best dinners 1 have ever
seen in Florida.
On the 22nd of December, my sister, The
odosia C. Hughes, of Gordon, Ga., and Mr.
R. B. Mathews, of Flemington, Fla., were
married by Rev. B. H. Ivey, at the former
place.
January Gth, W. A. Duval and Miss Lizzie
Kelly were married by a Methodist minister
at Mr. Mays's, in Hernando county.
Pine Level church decided, at the last reg
ular meeting, to take a missionary collection
at their regular meeting in January. One
brother ot the Ccklawaha Bridge church,
pledged that church for »20.(X> lor missions
this year.

tion I wiah to say there is great destitution
in our bounds.
■Will not the churches take ups collection
for missions before the money for the last
year’s crop is all spent ? The work is very
laborious, and requires many sacrifices on
my part, yet I am willing to do the best I
can, in the half of my time, for which the
Executive Committee employed me.

ASSOCIATIONS,
We parted, readers, at Citra with a very
brief reference to the Isige orange groves of
Bishop and Harris and intended to recur to
them again, but fortunately, some one at
beadquart rs copied from some paper an
account of Mr. Harns’ grove, that covered
the ground and makes it unnecessary for us
to write on the subject, but we have a few
words to say about tbe Baptist church at
Citra, and the beautiful, tasteful, new
bouse of worship there. Tbe building is
about finished, needing perhaps, only a
chandelier to light it, and is nearly paid for.
and by only a few men was all this done,
with some assistance'from brethren in Ohio,
and a handsome contribution from brother
P. P. Bishop. We have seen no better
house iu the State than this one, and let
brethren in other places, where houses are
needed, heed the example given here. Peo
pie want to know, when called on to help
build houses, that tbe community, or church
we better say, asking help, have done what
they could to help themselves.
We—both of us—preached at Citra to
very good week night congregations of in
telligent people, and ’eft the community en
route for Harmony Association, but there
being a filth tiunday in the month, we. “all
two of us," agreed to go to Orange Creek
Union, which convened at Ocwilla church.
To reach the latter cbuich it took a wagon, a
steamboat, railroad, and then another wag
on to convey two little missionary men
Leaving Citra a little north of east, brother
btevens' spring wagon carried us in a south
erly and westerly direction till when we
stopped to take tbe Warner, we were about
on the southwest of the lake, and reader,
when you shall have taken that ride, you
will conclude that Orange Lake has margin
enough to make a great many oranges and
vegetables, and land fertile enough to doit.
In making this trip, we had no “lightning
expresses.” nor did we make very close con
nections. At Obei (if that is the name) we
had a delay of several hours, which gave us
the opportunity of looking and strolling
around, where wild orange trees were about
as numerous as any other growth.
We strolled to Mr. Hickson’s residence a
clever, intelligent gentleman, originally
irorn South Carolina, and with him and his
intensting family, we got supper. Such a
clever geuthmtu, with such a clever famdy.
but not a Baptist! We love him, an 1 have
reason to, anu if he is not a Baptist. Now, H
we loved nobody but Bapt sis, there would
be some very nice, good people we would
not love.
•’Alpha,” means first or beginning, and
the first steamer on Orange Lake, and the
only one yet, is the Alpha. It is by no means
a “Palace Steamer,” but it inaugurated
a new and important state of things in that
section. It carried us across the lake and
out of Orange into the beautifnl little lake
called by the euphonious Indian name ol
Lachoosee, on the north side of which we
took our exit from the steamer, and in a
little while boarded a train, and were soon
at Oraball, (the original name) alias Morri*
sou’s Mills (once the post office name) alias,
Jamestown (why so called wc know not)
alias Hawthorne, the official post office
name (in honor of an old Georgian living
near, by that name) and if there are any
more names for it, we regret that we did not
learn them.
Here we must stop a day and night, and
the junior tramp went to bed with lever at
brother Weeks’, and the old, invalid senior
tramp, preached to a small audience at
night, and made not much impression seem
ingly. We have heard of “ice in the pul*
pit,” but we stood on the floor, and it may
be, carried the ice closer than if we had
gone in the pulpit.
One more ua>, thank the Lord and broth
er Sanders, we are at Ocwilla, where we
find a fair congregation, damp and lower
ing as the weather was, and the meeting
was organized and Rev. W. S, Perry, Mode
rator and a good one he made.
We were assaul'ed instantly, boldly, al
most cruelly, and surrendered —tried to
preach. We are not aware of ever having
any reputation for bravery, nor were we
foolish enough to seek it, by resisting two as
formidable men as Elders Johnson and
Perry—perfect Columbiads.
The Union Meeting was a good one. That
is enough perhaps to say, but we must
make mention of a remarkably remarkable
conversion. We express it so because con
versions are generally remarkable, but the
one to which I allude was esspecially so.
It was the conversion cf our young travel-.
ing companion—the conversion of a minis
ter. It was rather sudden, preceded by
deep conviction, and he talked sensibly,
feelingly about it. It occurred while we
were having an Index boom, and he made
profession just after Elder King had made
a very effective address. The young broth
er acknowledged his sin openly, frankly,
and said be was a slave, but he meant to be
free—to be a man, and thro - away his idol,
and use the money be spent for tobacco, in
helping missions, and giving The Index to
pious people who could not pay for it. The
last we heard of him he still gave evidence
of his conversion.
We got a number of subscribers and re
newals. A good collection was taken for
missions on Sunday. The night we spent at
Deacon Barrington’s we hall not soon for
get—we slept with an Earle—our visit to sis
ter Baldwin, and probably our last prayer
with her, sister Sue B’s. two dollars for mis
sions, are all sweet memories—and many
other things, but we must be short. You
smile incredulously. Why, we have not
told you the half. We will try to reach
Harmony Association next week.
W. N. C.
Governor Drew, in his recent final
message, makes the following valuable
suggestions relating to the occupation
of the wild lands of the State:
The law, as it now stands, requires
the payment of the purchase money
in cash upon the entry of any public
land, and many of our citizens and
some of the poorer immigrants are un
able to do this, and so they settle upon
these lands without entry. And there
these squatters remain. They make
only such improvements as are essen
tially necessary to health and life; fre
quently they live on in this way for
years, exhausting whatever fertility
there may be in the land, and when
worn out they move off, leaving only
worn-out land and dilapidated im
provements, while in the meantime,
the State has received not one cent of
tax or remuneration in any way for
the use of the land. Then again, it
checks and kills the spirit of improve
ment among the class of people set
tling on these lands. If asked why
they do not build more comfortable
hous'-s, plant fruit trees and make
other improvements, the reply invaria
bly is: “This is State land: lam not
able to buy, and 1 don’t know how soon
I may be entered out.” And on this
account many a poor man is prevented
from becoming a landholder and a tax
payer To obviate these difficulties in
the way of becoming taxpayers in
s t ad of squatters, and to increase the
revenue from the public domain, I
think every settler or intending settler
upon State land should be allowed to
pay for this homestead (say 160 acres
or less) in three installments; one
third of the purchase money in cash
upon entry, one-third in two years and
the other in three years after date of
entry, in the mean time the land to be
assessed and taxed as the pro
perty of the settler. In this
way not only a considerable rev
enue will be brought into the treas
ury from lands which, under the pres
ent system, are of little or no benefit
to the State, but a door will be thrown
open for the encouragement of the
settler and improvement among the
poor classes of our citizens and immi
grants, which will, in tbe course of
years, prove of incalculable benefit to
the State of Florida. A home will be
placed in easy reach of the poorest,
and a feeling of protection and secu
rity will be produced among the set
tlers on public lands that will develop
the thrift and economy necessary to
secure the means with which to buy
the land.
There is a bill pending before the
Florida Legislature to have four exam
ining medical boards appointed by the
Governor, one at Pensacola, one at Tal
lahassee, one at Jacksonville, and one
at Key West. These boards shall ex
amine applicants and grant certificates
to those only who are qualified to dis
charge thefunctionsofamedical expert.
The bill is not retroactive, however, and
does not affect present practitioners
of physic. Nor will the boards be per
mitted to reject any one merely for
his theoretical opinions or mode of
treating disease.
Section 15 provides that the license
of any physician addicted to the im
moderate use of liquors shall be re
voked.
The certificates of two physicians are
required to consign an insane person
to the asylum.
Errors committed by a physician in
a state of intoxication will be severely
punished.
Penalties are imposed upon druggists,
also, for false labels and mistakes made
through carelessness, and none but a
competent professional man will be al
lowed to make post mortem examina
tions when required by the coroner.
The Orlando Reporter reports that
Judge Hayden, living near Sanford,
picked a strawberry from one of his
plants on New Year’s day that measur
ed four by four and a half inches in
circumference. It was of the crescent
seeding variety, which Judge H. pro
nounces the earliest. He is giving con
siderable attention to this fruit, and is
having a very encouraging degree of
success. Others would do well to fol
low his example.
The Legislature has confirmed the
appointment of the following officials:
M. Howden to be Sheriff, T. E. Buck
man,Clerk,and W. A. McLean. Judge of
Duval county; J. A. Carlisle to be Clerk
and J. C. Gardener Judge of Alachua
county; W. H. Garland to be Assessor
of Nassau county; J. Ira Gore to be
Collector, J. T. McDonell, Judge, and
Louis Appell,Assessor of Levy county ;
W. C. Brown to be Clerk, H. L. Crane
Judge, and D. L. Craft, Sheriff of Hills
boro county.
Mr. S. J. Temple, of Bradford coun
ty, has recently purchased 21,000 acres
of land adjoining his former purchas
es. Mr. Temple is now the largest
land holder in the State—owning be

acres.
