COL. T. J- SMITH IN FLOltDA.
Our distinguished citizen Col. i d.
Smith, lms determined, from what w<
goo mid hear, to make Florida his future
home, if this is truly the case we regn t
it, for ho will he greatly missed, the in
terest. tfijvays manifested by him in ag-
rieuitural affairs assisted much in devel
oping the resources of our county, to
him, in a great measure, were wo in
debted for our splendid fairs. By «
ith an additional expense? 1 hope
there will be no meeting and if there
should he, that the proposition will ho
promply voted down, the county
now in peace and why agitate it w

be the one that sinner will want to
