Whe he reached the spot, to his surprise, he found the horse had become eptangled with tho linos, which threw him forward on his head, breaking , his neck. THis is a serious loss to Mr. Hill, he it was a valuable young horse, and being to* second honta lost by him during the w u*wt yow. Asa general rule there is very little cot ton planted in the vicinity of Lumber City. The melon business, which was engaged In very extensively last year, in that neighbor hood, is given the gt>-by, as nearlv all the growers lost on the last crop. Tue fruit crop will be good if it does not fail in ripen ing. Wool-growers are realizing good prh'es on their staple, though there is considerable complaint of loss of sheep from last year— fully one-third short—and increase poor. There seems to be a disease among sheep, as they are dying in the woods yet. This, in connection with dogs and hogs, thins their ranks very much. David C. Adams, of Fort Gaines, has been enjoined from “collecting any toll what ever, to any prom or persons and their conveyances and vehicles, bringing to the market of Fort Gaines, for sale, across the bridg*, described in tiie bill known as the Fort Gaines Bridge, in any quantity' what ever; or in returning from sard market after bringing any of said articles for sale; any corn, cotton, fodder, rye. oats, wheat or potatoes; and in any quantity to the value of $5 or more: any peas, syrup, cotton seed, eggs. beef, mutton, pork,’ bacon, poultry, fruit, or any other country produce of any kind or description whatever.” E. H. Evans, of Oak Grove, has an acre of land which he has prepared and put in order for making cotton. He hauled out sixty two-horse wagon locals of compost on it. In March he hauled twenty of them, broadcasting it, and then took a three-inch scooter, breaking the land as close as pos sible. In April Tie put on forty loads, mak ing the sixtv altogether, and broke the land with a four-inch scooter twice, and then took a subsoil and subsoiled it. He then laid off the rows aad used about 300 pounds of guano, and then planted it. He said last week that his e ttou was fine. Mr. Evans thinks, probably, tbrt the acre will yield him two bales of cott m. The Malmaison fruit farm of O. A. Ciiett und T. O. Skellie, lies one mile southeast of Powers rille. They have an orchard of 5.000 trees. The farm is neatly arranged, the road running oenterly through the orchard, and bordered with tho red Astraehan ap ple. They ha< >: 400 trees of that variety, 1,700 wild goose plums, 1,500 peach trees, and several different varieties of apples and pears. The orchard is now in its fourth vear’s growth, and is very promising. On 325 Elberta peach trees they have a full crop of peaches. Also on the Alexander they have a go<xl crop, which will be ready to ship in a few days All varieties of peaches were killed, except the above men tioned. The Atlanta young men are very enter prising—l e., so’rne of them. A respectable young lady of that city complained the other day to Capt. Crim that a young man who had heeu recently paying attentions to her had obtained a license for their marriage without her consent, and was industriously exhibiting it to her personal friends and falsely representing that the wedding was soon to take place. She earnestly asked him if he coula stop it, and he replied that he thought he coula. The young man was soon found, and after a brief conversation, he took the license out of his pocket ana tore it up in presence of the officer, promis ing to say no more about weddiug the young lady until he had first gained her consent. Tho dwelling house of a Mr. Hill, of Mur ray couutv, was struck by lightning recently. During the prevalence of a thun derstorm the family, with a Miss Dunlap, who was visiting them, had assembled in one room, and were all seated near the fire place. Suddenly every person in the room was prostrated by a blinding flash of light ning, which hud struck the chimney and come down into the room, tearing out the chimney jam and ripping up portions of the flooring. Though considerably (lazed, all of them, with the exception of Miss Dunlap, regained consciousness after a while. That young lady had been seated nearest the fire place. anti’was bßdly shocked by the terrific bolt of electricity. ’ For a long time she lay like one dead, and though the family freely used restoratives, and chafed her hands and body vigorously, it was several hours before she was finally brought back to conscious ness. For several days thereafter she was unable to leave her bed. The charge of electricity blackened her body, burned her dross, ana tore her shoes completely off. FLORIDA.

She will land at Silver Beach, Memento, etc., starting from near the railroad depot on this side. Apropos of that railroad dock, it is now far out into the river, and speculation is rife as to ulti mate intentions of the railroad authorities— will they put in a draw ami then run a track to tho beach with a dummy, to make hourly or half-hourly trips? It would boa great convenience to the dwellers on the penin sula. and to parties wishing to go surf bath ing and the like. There is a fine opportunity In Interlaehen for a caiming factory. During tlic past and present seasons a large amount of fruit has gone begging, and much has been lost, simply for the lock of a ready home market. Shipping fruit is well practiced, but every producer has, at odd times, a large amount of dead ripe fruit which cannot bear the journey to a distant market and which can not be 'disposed of at home. A small can ning factory would meet the demand in this case, besides giving the farmers confidence to raise large crops, whioh they would promptly do were a market assured Many of the Hawthornites are highly in censed at the oarelesstMsrishown in the Tax Collector's books. The lands of many of the best men around hero have been adver tised for taxes, and they appeared at the Florida Southern railroad depot Tuesday morning ready to board the train for Gaines ville, every one having Uls tax receipt troni 1881-86, the year for which they are adver tised. They were all very indignant, one Switleman saying he hail a great mind to let lem soil his land if they were fools enough to do it, and then outer suit against Alachua county for * •?.'>,ooo damages, just to put a band on somebody.” Southwestern Narnia countyifce* want to divide the county. Northeastern Nassau, or Amelia Island, is more than willing that this should bo dono, pro viding that tho dividing line is made at Amelia river. The new county projector! would prefer to have tho line just a little further inland, in order to leas e a short, but rather expensive piece of* “county road” with Amelia. Callahan expects to become the* county site, but Milliards comes out with an offer of a court house, etc., free of charge, to the county, if the site is placed with them, and it is said a majority m the uew county prefor Hilliard* anyway. DeLand is to have the electric light in its streets. Two electric light companies have I agreed to put in a plant if they are guaran teed twenty lights for five months in the year at ooc. each per night. The lights offered are of tlw latest, improved, non oscillating kind, Mirny of the business men have subscribed and all of the principal hotels. As soon as the twenty lights are guaranteed a meeting of the" subscribers will be held and details arranged. It is thought that there will lie no trouble in securing the requisite number of lights, as tho citizens seem to be fully aware of tho great benefit the lights woidd bo to the town. The contract for extending the South Florida railroad to deep water on Tampa Bay hall been awarded to Maj. Louis Me- Laui, of Sanford, who will begin operation* in a short time. The contract is in good hands and the work will be rapidly and well done. He will put about 120 men to work on Monday next, clearing, and tho surveyors began yesterday to finally locate the route. The terminus will lie on Black Point on old Tampa Bay, where, at the end of the wharf to bo constructed, the water is thirty feet deep—sufficient for any boat on the cuff. This will saro the necessity of transfer at Tampa, and will also beau ex cellent preventive against thq introduc i Uon of yellow fever or anv other coutorlnus diseases common in Cuba and tho other islands in southern waters. Ed Kuhl, of Orlando, has received the banner given by the Supremo Ledge to Or laado Division No. 1, spoken of before by the Morning News. It is the handsomest thing of the kind in the State. The banner is made of heavy cardinal satin, bound with gold braid and fringe The cross bar at the , top is beautifully finished, both ends having a large gold ball attached. The cords and tassels are all of gold, and elegantly finished. The staff is surmounted by a spear head and battle ax combined. On one side is the following inscription in blue and silver: “Orlando Division No. 1. U. R. Knights of Pythias, Orlando, Fls ” In the centre of this side is tho emblematic lily painted iu a manner that is thoroughly true to nature. On the reverse is tho following: “Supreme Lodge, Toronto, Ontario, 1888.’' The banner is about 4 feet wide by feet in length. It D a magnificent gift, and one the Orlando Knights feel justly proud of. BROWN’S IRON BITTERS.
