OHAUDOIH Corresponding Editor and Ag,nt JACKSONVILLE, FLORIDA. MISCELLANEOUS AND NEWS 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. FROM PENIEL. Dear Brother Chaudoin : On the 23d instant (fourth Sunday) immediately after preaching, the I’eniel Missionary Society was re organized by electing brother H. L. Thomas, President, and brother L. C. Steph ens, Vice-President ; brother J. L. Becks, Secretary, and brother J. 8. Thomas, Treas urer. We expect (D. V.) to meet monthly. Our liret regular meeting was held in the after noon oi the first Sunday in February. On the evening of Wednesday, tilth inst., in Penie! church, by the pastor, were mar ried, Mr. Lewis C. Stephens and Miss Geor gia A. Weatbersbee. May the blessings of the Lord abide with the happy couple. P. W. 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. To the churches of the Alachua Associa- THE CHRISTIAN INDEX AND SOUTH-WESTERN BAPTIST: THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 10, 1881. 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. W. J. Hcoheb. 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.
