World, “that 25 years ago the farmers
owned one-half of the entire wealth
of the country, whilo today they own
less than twenty per cent?”

saved and property valued at nearly

tion by the Life Saving Service at a
coat of less than $1,000,000.
The Chicago Herald concludes that

Little River Pilot (Richmond, )
says: The pleasant and harmonious meet

Florida, has proven beyond the shadow
of a doubt that the ghost of sec iouaiism
no longer stands between the farmers and of
the north and the south, the east

and together < onsuited over their intir

aud their posterity. May tlio blessings

they had been mere twigs, clinging

directions, or until tbe poles on nhith
they were str ng, breaking under the
enormous weight, fell across the
streets and against houses, blocking
all traffic on the former and threatening
death and dcstruct.am to the latter aud
tin ir inmates, At dm light Monday
morning the work of destruction hud
comniencvd and it continued until the
snoii full ceased at noon, when wrecks of
t. ci's and telegrape jvoh s were to bo found
oil every street, while irregular festoons
of wire were hnngii g on every hand and
detai hed lengths were wrung on every
sithwalk. No such work of devastation
has I een known since (lie great blizzard
