VIEWS IN FLORIDA. RAPID growth of the city OF GAINESVILLE. Advice to Truck Farmers—Plant Cot ton and Potatoes A Flourishing Group of Small Towns—Rochelle and Its Statistics Lake Pithlachocco— Fine Orchards and Orange Groves— A Fertile Section—The Sampson Orange Grove—Heavy Shipments of Fruits and Vegetables—Origin and History of Micanopy—The Oldest In habitant-Thriving Hawthorne—Veg etable Shipments—A New Colony, Etc. Your correspondent in his last communi cation failed to mention a brief visit to the flourishing young city of Gainesville, which is not inappropriately styled the “metropo lis of interior Florida.” The omission was due to the fact that twice within little more than a twelve month has the town with its institutions, resources and outlook been fully portrayed in the columns of the News. We remark, however, in passing, that des pite the dull times and partial failure of the fruit and field crops, Alachua’s capital con tinues to improve steadily, and numbers of new buildings, in cluding several stately brick stores, are in process of orectiou. True, the cold has damaged very seriously the tender vegetables, such as melons, beans, squashes, cucumbers, etc., on the rich farms iu the vicinity, but there is ample time here, as in nverv other portion of the State where the earlv gardens have been killed outright, to retrieve the situation in a great measure by putting in crops of sea island cotton, corn and sweet potatoes. With the high fertili zation usually applied to vegetable products, the same area planted with long cotton will yield with favorable seasons at least ONE BALE PEIt ACRE. This would be *. valent to about $75, or if laid down in corn and potatoes, thirty bushels of th: iomier might lie reasonably counted on. or from 250 to 500 bushels of potatoes; to the acre. We advise our agri cultural friends, therefore, to shake off their despondency and go to work in the manner above indicated, and hope for the best. Surely a recurrence of such abnormal sea sons as have afflicted tjre country for the past two years can hardly lie anticipated during the present generation. Again we write from the heart of Florida and invite the reader's attention to a GROUP OF LITTLE TOWNS, in dose proximity to each other, which are rapidly becoming important fruit and vege table centres. These are Rochelle, Eviu stnn. Boardman. and Hawthorne, all situated on the “Florida Southern,” and old Micano py, which is also connected with the same road by a branch eight miles in length. Rochelle contains two general stores owned respectively by John McAllister and J. W. Phifer. The latter is postmaster tinker Mr. Cleveland’s appointment. Mr. C. C. Powell, the obliging express agent, also sells fancy groceries and confectionery. There are two churches and one school in the place and about 150 inhabitants. A healthier and dryer location cannot be found in the Htate. Within one and a half miles is the pretty lake Pithlachocco, which in the Indian dialect means .“Choked with Fish.” That the name is appropriate may lie judged from the fact that last week 109 barrels of trout and bream were shipped from Rochelle. evinston " , is the next station, and is surrounded by flourishing orange groves. Within one mile of the depot large areas of fertile hum mock land can !*■ purchased at from S3Q to 150 per acre. Here Judge Means is exten sively engaged in poach culture. His orchard embraces forty-five acres and there is every prospect of a good yield of this de licious fruit. Hon. J. L. Woolfenden is Mayor of the town, which claims 150 inhabitants, two schools, an equal number of churches, and one large mercantile establishment, con ducted by Mr. C. is. Smith. From this point 10,000 boxes of oranges and ,10,000 crates of vegetables, mostly beans, cucumbers and tomatoes, were shipped last season. On the truck farm of Mr. H. C. Brown, in the vicinity, we saw a magnificent prospect ot oats, fruit and vegetables. Mr. A. G. Hertes, who lives near l)y, has-au orange grove covering eleven acres which averaged ten boxes of fruit to the tree. W. P. Shet tleworth is one of the largest vegetable growers in this region. The writer saw him ‘IIIOO crates of new' onions, and he has 300 bushels of that odorous esculent ready to be marketed. A- tester is the efficient railroad agent at Evinston. Moving south only about two miles we come to BOARDMAN, tvliich, though in its infancy, is destined to < teconie a great fruit and vegetable mart, liere, m lull view, is located the famous nampson orange grove and jialatial private lesidenee of the opulent proprietor. Close hv. also is the magnificent, fruit farm of -lessrs. Duprez & Keith and other flourish ing plantation*? The last mentioned three gentlemen bundle about 50,000 crates of oranges we were informed, and the ship- [ lf vegetables from this depot exceed '50.000 bushels. !jjnitli, a stanch friend of the t Boardma WS ’ lUnS a ' ur K e general store V our scribe is under many obligations to • H.

He is a gentleman of fine presence and pleasant maimers. A. J. Rhuford is the owner of a well stocked livery and sale stable and duly ap preciates the Morning News. MORE PERSONALS. The worthy Mayor of the town, Hon. G. S. Griegs, is a sterling mechanic and inventor. He has recently applied for a (latent for his “orange sizer,’’ an ingenious machine by which the fruit as it descends at an angle of about 30 degs. in a trough with open bot tom, so graduated as to deposit in trays be neath all specimens of uniform size, may be accurately numbered, classified and packed in crates according to their several dimensions. The contrivance is simple and cheap, and w’ill doubtless come into general use. S. H. Benjamin lias no less than eight de partments in his capacious store, all separate and devoted to different lines of goods. His sales foot up over $50,000 annually. OPULENT ORANGE GROWERS. Mr. J. J. Barr, who has erected an ele gant residence in Micanopy, has 135 acres set out in orange trees, of which 35 aro in full bearing. His shipments aggregate about 10,000 boxes. This enterprising gen tleman ulso cultivates 250 acres in sea island cotton, and 25 acres aro devoted to vege tables. Another merchant and citizen, Mr. J. A. Simonton, owns an orange grove of thirty acres, 1,000 trees of which yield fruit. The News has a bright representative here in the person of a sweet little girl, Estill Mathers, named in honor of its pro prietor. Micanopy boasts a weekly paper, the Gazette , run by Mr. L. C. Martin. Be fore reaching Ocala, the writer, also spent several hours at HAWTHORNE, a healthy and growing town in the heart of the fruit and vegetable region. Here, de spite the rigorous winter, Mr. G. W. Haw thorne and others are making largo daily shipments of early garden produce. The former lin’d just sent off 350 crates of beans and squashes. The squashes bring $3 50 per crate and beans from $4 to SO. At the trivial cost of only 47c. per package to Phila delphia there is a big margin for profit, if the producer lie fairly dealt with. Cucum ber shipments will begin this week. To show the appreciation abroad of the lands in this vicinity Mr. R. B. Smith has recently sold farms to six mission families, who are all erecting dwellings, setting out front trees and about to engage in truck raising. As an evidence of the health of the place Mr. C. Waits, an old reader of the News and extensive fruit-grower, has re sided here for thirty-five years without a day’s sickness. Among the industrial establishments is the carriage and wagon shop of W T. Bras well. Since our last visit J. L. Patton & Cos. have opened anew general store, and sell the Bay State shoes as a specialty. The veteran Mr. Zinn is still here and holding his own well, and so is Dr. IF. W. Johnson, one of the oldest and most promi nent physicians in the county. We missed seeing our Triend Moore, of the Commercial Hotel. Hawthorne’s prospects seem encour agiftg. • The group of towns above enumer ated and described are all situated in a desirable and growing section of Florida, and offer peculiar inducements to settlers. T he climate is mild and healthful, and largo areas of fertile soil, particularly adapted to the growth of vegt t ibles, may be purchased at reasonable figures. H. H. J. A HOGGISH TRICK. How an Old Sow Climbed a High Fence. From the Nashville Union. There is a moonshirier now in this city' at tending the Federal Court who tells a most marvelous tale alxmt an old sow he sold last Saturday to a butcher on Broad street. Ho came to this city for trial from away up in the Cumberland mountains, being a dealer in “mountain dew” without a license. His fine was larger than he expected, so he was compelled to sell his hog at a sacrifice, so as to raise money enough to keep him out of the jug. The “wildcatter tells the following ridiculous tale: “Yes, sir, the aforesaid hog was a remarkable animat. She never failed to come uj) at feeding time, and knowed her name as well as you knows your’n. The smartest thing she ever did was to climb a ten-rail fence. I’ll tell yer how that wus. Yor see that old sow wus so gentle that she wus of a kinder privileged character, and run anywhere aliout the place she wanted to. So finally she made her way into the woods lot, and in the middle’of this lot my oldest son, Sam, had a thriving turnip patch. Well, that old hog wasn’t next door to something to eat long before stie disciv ered it. On the second day after she got into the woods lot she wus in the middlo of that pate'll enjoying herself on them nice half-grown turnips. Sam and I both went all around the fence of the patch, but couldn’t find a hole big enough for a 300- pound hog to crawl through. We laid down the fence and driv her out. The next day she wus back agin, but ther was no hole dis eiverable, so Sam and mo concluded that we never put up the fence good. But the mxt day it was the same old tale, and by this time that old sow had teetotally ruined half the patch. She always climbed the fence as if she was afeared of being cot, for nobody over saw her trying to get in the patch. “Just for curiosity I thought I would stay up, if it were all night, and see how that hog got into them turnips. One night after Iliad fed the stock I crawled into the corn crib unbekuowns to anybody. The crib was at one end of the woods lot, so I had a good view of the patch and the sow too. As luck would have it. the moon was shining bright and I could six', almost ns plain as day. I stayed and stayed until I begun to think that the old hog was agoin to fool me and knowed that I was a watching her. But after she hud eaten up all the grains of com that had leaked through the floor of the crib she started toward the turnip patch. When she reached the fence she stopped and looked around, as if to see if anybody was looking. When satisfied that she was not being watched she w alked to the right hand side of the patch. On this side of the patch there is a steep hill, and on this hill right close to the patch fence there growed a good sized dogwood tree with a stout limb that reached nearly to the patch fence. On this limb was a one-inch grass rope, part of a swing tho children had there once upon a time. Well, when I saw that hog take that rope in her mouth and begin to draw the limb down to her, I like to hollered with ex citement. She kept drawing the limb down and her laxly off the ground until her hind feet barely touched the earth. After steady ing herself a moment, then with tho help of the limb and the tips of her toe* she started up tile steep hillside. After getting on a level with the fence she reared back so far that the limb jerked her clean over tho fence as if she hod been a sucking pig, set ting her over the fence as nicely as if it had Is-cn placed there by u derrick. That was enough. 1 was satisfied how the sow got into the turnip pate'li. no next morning 1 told Kutu not to disturb her, and I would buy him a single-barrel shotgun the fust time 1 went to town. But the old sow got <> Imd tliat I had to bring her to town mid *<•11 her, mnl you jest Is-tslic came In mighty Imndy, for the money 1 got for her kept mo out of that little sweat-box at Franklin. 1 do believe in * year or two 1 would have had to cut down all tin* tr<* almnt my place to keep tin* old hog outer my loft.” To DUlodgo tho Enemy, When It takes Ihe form of disease of the kid neys or bladder, fat a ta*k pelLuitfli Impossible of ao< :om pi tab me h l tteiml ami visk'sl maladies are mora ol#*i mst* I hen any **ther Coupler act, iicKxfwn**. tbs artiest Uidsiaitoas <<f inac- It*|| y of Ibe HUH)/ organs with Hostel tar s fetomaeh Bluer. which |*xsnw. muons other / .etii-ot q'table's Ik'ss of oh HWnteni diuretic The degree of stkuuuMtoi) appa/**,' from lls use res.

In fact, one case, a lady of over seventy years, had been sick for years, and for the past ten years l have known her alio has not wen able to be around half the time. About six months ago she got so feeble she v.a.s helnltss. Her old remedies, or physicians, being or no avail, 1 sent to Deposit, forty five miles, anil got a bottle of Hop Bitters. It had such a very beneficial effect on her tlui. oti* bottle improved her so she was able to dress herself and walk about the house. When she had taken the second bottle she was able, intake care of her own room and walk out to her neighbor's and has improved all the time since. My wife and children also have derived great benefit from their use. NY B HATHAWAY, Agt. U. 8. Ex. Cos. An Enthusiastic Endorsement. Uorhum. X. /L,July 15, lflRO.

She sjient many dollars on the thousand infallible (f) cures, with nothing but injurious effect**. A lady friend, of Syracuse, N.
