Jn accordance with the recommenda tion of A. J. Russell, Esq., State Super intendent of Public Schools, Arbor Day was appropriately observed by the pub lic colored school. The boys assembled yesterday at 8 a. m and under the care ful supervision of the principal set out about twenty young orange trees. At 9 o'clock the three departments of the school, to the number of 150, in charge of the - three teachers, were formed in groups around the trees. The ceremony of naming the trees was performed by six of the oldest girls, who, after reading selections of poetry and prose appropriate to the day and occasion, with short biograph ical sketches, gave to each tree the name of some good woman Who had ennobled her sex and elevated humanity by pure lives and precious examples. Elizabeth Fry, Lucretia Mott, Mary WasMngton, Harriet Beecher Stowe, among other names were bestowed on the trees, that the lives of the originals' might incite the young participants to emulate their gra cious and Christian examples. Patriotic and suitable songs interspersed the exer cises, and after heartily joining in sing ing "America," and addresses by tie teacher, the children were dismissed for the day's recreation. It gives us sincere pleasure to notice that Florida falls into line with Ohio, Nebraska, Maine and many other States, in the yearly observance of Arbor Day. If the steady advance southward of the frost line, is due, as many argue, to the wholesale destruction of the forests of our country, it most especially behooves Florida to see to it that tree planting is encouraged, not only by school officers and village improvement societies, but by legislative enactment if ngcessarv. ) Pro" Lowanda. The Columbia, S. C, Register in notic ing Prof. Lowanda's entertainment, the features of which can be gathered from the advertisement in another column, said: "Standing room only" correctly con veys an idea of the condition of the opera house last night on the occasion of the hrst presentation in this citv of Prof. Lowanda's entertainment with gift at- tacnment. Both the lower and upper portions of the house were fairly p:icked anil even standing- room was not abundant. The programme presented was very good ot its kind and seemed to highly please the audience. Prof. Lowanda first appeared in sleight-of-hand tricks and ventriloquism, much of which was good. Miss Lucy Revere followed with song and dance business and rendered some vocal selections well. Geo. Revere was amusing as a colored musical moke. and the entertainment closed with some very light comedy. The distribution of gifts which closed the exercises excited considerable inter est. Quite a number of silver casters. butter dishes, cake stands, etc., were given to the fortunate holders of certain numbers, also a number of large auto graph albums, and many cash prizes va rying from a silver quarter to a 5 bill. Good. Price for Strawberries. Gainesville Record. Mr. W. K. Cessna one-day last week snipped to a .Philadelphia house, six quarts of strawberries, which netted him $15.50.
