bear three years out of four. But in
co ming here one must not expect to
raise everything the first year; and do
not try to learn it all at once, be
gin in the primary school, learn first
how to prepare ground, then find
someone who has a good looking
infant grove and yard; question the
man who this year may be gathering
friut, and selling the same, yet may
know little how that tree was treated
in infancy. Get your lessons as fast
as needed ; keep hopeful and cheer
tul and in a few years you can sit un
der your own vine and fig tree, and
laugh at your northern friends freez
ing in the cold blasts of winter.

by Mr. Root, in Jacksonville was burn
ed down on Wednesday night.

secured in three days over sixteen
hundred acres of land and between

three hundred feet long, with good
warehouse accomodation.— Crescent.

Orange County Reporter.
—The Speer and Ginn groves, as,
also, the fine grove belonging to Dr.
Caldwell, are sights beautiful to be

thousands of oranges about the size

in this neighborhood are all doing
well, and we have hopes of a full crop.

Mr. Bisbee has also secured a pro

—The grand ball, at the White
Spring, on Thursday night, came off
according to our announcement in
last issue. Lake City furnishes the
largest delegation, and all enjoyed
themselves greatly. Mr. Flanders,
the hotel proprietor, exerted himself
to have everything for the comfort of
his guests and from the spirit shown,
we are satisfied that his efforts were
appreciated. The number of dancers
was not so large as had been anticipa
ted, owing to the threatening weather
of the morning, but the afternoon and
night were cool and clear. The visit
ors enjoyed the afternoon in bathing
in the fine sulphur spring and stroll
ing over the beautiful surroundings.
