Hi
Florida’s Great Crop.
Macon Telegraph*
The common opinion that
“there’s millions” in Florida oren
ges will be'strengthened by the re
suits of the present season’s yield,
and the excellent prices now paid
for the frnit, and which are likely
to continue. Estimates of the
present Florida orange crop vary
very widely. It is placed as high
as 2,500,000 boxes by some, which
would be over (u)0,000 boxes in ex
cess of the large crop of last year.
Most estimates, however, are much
lower, the I lorida Fruit Exchange
predicting that the total crop will
be about 1,750,000 boxes. The
prevailing opinion in Florida is
that the crop vill far exceed those
figures. All authorities are agreed
as to the excellent quality of the
oranges which are being marketed
from Florida this season. New
York and Boston^ buyers say they
have never known the early fruit
to be so fine, and reports from
Florida indicate £that the best or
anges ever grown in that state will
be found in this year’s crop.
□Florida oranges always demand
good prices, because they are rec-
ognized as the best fruit of "their
kind, and the failure of nearly ev-
ery other fruit crop this year will
tend to raise the price of oranges
considerably above * what if was
last season.
The exportation of Florida or
anges was begun as an experiment
by an enterprising Boston firm in
1886, and proved so successful that
larger exportations ' have been
made every year. It is said that
preparations have!'been made to
export Florida oranges on a large
scale this season. Wherever they
are carried their superiority is rec
ognized.
It is certain that the present
crop will take more money into
Florida than|the last, even if- the
lowest estimates of its size should
prove correct.
Naming Colts.
New York Sun.
Naming'colts as they are brought
into the world on a big stock xais-
ing’farm might seem to be a sim
ple operation, but, just as when
the parents of a dozen children find
themselves short of names and
have to resort to a Biblical or clas
sical terminology, so do the owners
’ of a lot of horses kept for the pur
pose of raising horses for the turf
find themselves running short of
names? Who has failed to notice
the odd nomenclature of the race
courseb The proprietor of a farm
and" a’big lot of thoroughbreds in
Pennsylvania has made a rule for
himself. To all the colts born -in
• the first year, Under this rule, he
gave names beginning with A, in
the second year B. and so on. He
put the idea into practice nine
years ago, and has reached the let-
er I. Sometimes there are queer
combinations of names. For in
Btance, a colt was named Harmony,
and the next year his brother had
tacded to him the name Impudence,
As the breeder has fifteen colts this
year to be named frith names' be
ginning with the letter I, he con
fesses himself puzzled to originate
attractive and orotund m
enough to go around.
Hon. Don Dickinson, at the
Thurman banquet, speaking of the
democracy of the future, said:
We believe in the intelligence
and honesty of American people.
We believe that t he sole end of
legislation should be the greatest
good to the greatest number.
We believe that the management
of all domestic affairs should be
left to ths states and in home rule
in the subordinate government
within the states.
We believe that there is no sov
ereignty except in the people, and
that the general government should
keep its hands off the elective fran
chise.
We believe that there is no pow
er in the legislative branch of the
general government except such has
been, or shall be, expressly dele-
gated to the congress by the con
stitution.
We believe the power to tax can
not be delegated to favored indi
viduals or classes, and that no pub
lic treasure- or public domain
should be granted away in subsi
dies or bounties.
With] the faith, and because of
this faith, the democratic party
does not die, but ’survives defeat,
contumely and even the penalty of
grave mistakes.
The great honest masses of the
republican partyjare coming to be
lieve, as they reflect on the cause
of its survival, that the democratic
will not and should not die.
Amend The Constitution.
Boston Globe.
■r. If there is any sense or. reason
in allowing a] defeated and con
demned congress to go and legisr
late for three months after the peo
ple have repudiated it, we should
like to have Unexplained.’ We see
no sense in it' The congress elected
a month ago should assemble in
Washington on December 1, 1890,
just as well as the congress • can.
It would be fresh from the people,
prepared to do the people’s will.
It would, not be disgraced and dis
credited, with the stamp of the
people’s condemnation upon it.
Some member of congress ought
to propose a constitutional amend
ment making each congress ex
pire by limitation at least one
month prior to the election of its
successor, so that .the spectacle of
legislation by a repudiated con
gress—a spectacle which will soon
be seen in Washington—will be
seen no more. We believe the peo
ple would ratify such an amend
ment with practical unanimity.
Westorn School Rules.
San Francisco Examiner*
The following is said to be a lit
eral copy of the rules posted on a
school house door up in the Big
Bend country:
“Each pupil is requested to
make a bow on entering the School
House of morning, also on leaving
of the School Room of evening
There shall be no profain language
used in School nor on the play
grounds nor shall there be no pin-
sticking, pinchin, scrachin’ nor no
taggin, nor no uneasy Whispering
in School. No pupil shall leave
fhe School House without permis
sion of the Teacher. No uneasy
moven from seat. No fitin oh the
road from nor to School nor no
Nicknamin. Every pupil over
eight years shall be subj'ec tothese
rules, and the teacher is to make
allowance for all pupils under eight
and enforce the rules accorden. If
any scholars brakes these rules
that shall be punished by .switch-
en.” _
It is estimated that the railroads
of the United States lose §2,000,-
000 yearly by landslides, 85,000,000
by floods, §1,000,000 by fire, and
S9,000,000 by collissions.
A Scrap of Paper Saves Her Life.
It was just an ordinary scrap of
wrapping paper, but it saved her
life. She was in the last stages of
consumption, told by physicians
that she was incurable and could
live only a short time;-she weigh
ed less than seventy pounds. Gn
a piece of wrapping paper she
read of Dr. King’s New Discovery,
and got a sample bottle; it helped
her, she bought a large bottle, it
helped "her more, bought another
and grew better fast, continued its
use and is now strong, healthy,
rosy, plump, weighidg 140 pounds.

There is a prejudice in the rural
districts of this State against bach
elors, says the Portland Oregoni-
People in every out-laying
settlement are opposed to bache
lors taking up claims in their vi
cinity. An exchange says: “There
are some splendid claims on Dead-
wood Creek not yet taken, as good
as any on the coast. The citizens
want men wi h families to settle on
them. Three of the claims were
taken by bachelors last fall. The
ladies of Deadwood’passed a reso
lution placing a three years’ limit
on celibacy in that district, and
providing all bachelors not married
at the end of that time be run out
of the settlement or hanged.”
Five bachelors moved out, one got
married and two have gone into
the sparking business.

Everything Else Foiled.
I am now 28 years old, and from
the time I was seven years of age
until 1885,1 suffered with a severe
case of Scrofula. During this
time I took every known remedy,
but to no purpose. My father took
me to North Carolina, where I was
put under the treatment of an emi
nent physician. The medicines
given me had only a temporary ef
fect, for shortly after my return
the Scrofula broke out in a more
malignant form, and I was worse
off than ever before. Jn 18851
discontinued taking all other med
icines and commenced taking
Swift's Specific (S. S. S.) I took
a number of bottles and it cured
me. I have been free from Scrof
ula frim that time until now.
