Clear Water Harbor. It ia a
gloriona comfort hie , winter
weather to bask in the sunshine of
the gnl! by day atd laxnriate In
the moonlight oa the ' waves by
night No wonder . that .Tom
Ochiltree was inspired to say to
the yankee lady , at .Galveston,
who was iii -ecstaoies- over ' our
mooolight : "Ah,, madarr, r yon
should bave Been our moona be
fore the war." We do not know
what kind of weather .they Jiars
had the past week in north Geor
gia, bat it tnnst have been right
bitter f"r it is cool enough here to
enjoy fires in the early aprn, and
Uit.se people are; apologizing for
it as though they were afraid the
weather would hurt pur feelings.
This delinhttal climnta is a good
part of their capital stock, and
always will be. Money is nothing
when compared with good health,
and I ruminated over this when
allnightlong I heard eonBumptives
coughing in their bfit&s on tb
sleeper as we oarne doWn,' They
were coming to Florida to ' die or
perhaps prolong their lives. That
the climate is good tor all lung dis
eases or bronchial affections I
have no doubts for , the grip has
certainly left me since my anival,
and the little orphan forwhose sake
we came, seems like a ' new child;
She is bright and. happy all the
time, and has., ceased to cough.
We were all caugh n a hard rmo'
at Tampa,'and J ras. alairmed: for
the child, but no harm came of it.
vXssterdaywe came ' over here
frtnt Tampa' by private? convey
ance, thirty miles. - It is only half
that disfauoe by a straight line,
but Tampa bay Was between and
we had to circle its northern boun-'
dary. ' We could have traveled by
rail, but it was 120 miles by La
coochee and ten - hour's lay over
there, or we could have gone to
St. Petersburg by boat and there
by rail next morning,, and so we
chose the ". piney woods, " and
were deligted with the journey.
It is a beautiful road, about eight
feet wide and quite firm for a san
dy country. It is wide enough,
for the houses are ten miles a part
and we passed bnt one vehicle the
entire journey, v At some places
the bay is in view, and at others
there are small lakes, with white
cranes adorning- them for- orna
ments. . We saw fox squirrels and
quails along the road and ran up
on two busaarda who were greed
ily dissecting - a monster rattle
snake, that somebody, had killed
the day before. . The girls wanted
the rattles, but. the driver had oo
knite and I would not put mine
into the venomous carcass. - Its
head had not been mashed and
was as large as a biscuit, nor was
there any sign to show how it had
been killed. No tracks of feet, no
stick, no atone.", Jt the buzzards
did not kill it it. must have been
shot from . a , y chicle, for we did
meet some Tampa hunters, one of
whom told us he shot a , rattler
that had seventeen rattles, and lett
him in tho road. The one we
tvf had only .seve-jbut rattles do
increase in numbers as the story
is repeated.' - - , - ,
A day's journey, through : thcBe
piney woods is .very monotonous.
We longed for a change of scene-'
ry, a hill, a creek, a few rocks or
utones, a noise,, a habitation, with
dogs to bark. At ', one house
where there was aluxuriantjorange
grove we stopped to inquire tbe
way, and the whole family came to
the front. I have no idea that the
children had seen any strangers
in a month, arki it waa a feast to
them. , The house was a ' misera
ble hovel, but it was a shelter,
and that is all that the average
piney woods settler wants. But,
as w neared the gtilf, we found
some pleasant homes and a better
class of people. I said to our
host : " W hat is the name of the
niau who lirta three and a half
units from here in a large white
house I lie came to the gate and
took his hat c3 to the ladies, ,a
we stopped to ask some question-."'

winter there. All around are
orange trees laden with fruit,
fruit that ia not enough for sale,

them was shot this morning and

pons are caught here, and sharks
are not uncommon in the passes
between the islands. But these
sharks are not man-eaters, though
I heard that a boy made a narrow
escape from one last summer.
Boys frequently go in the islands
while the sharks are in sight, and
it is easy to drive them away. In

as there are homes on the blnfl.
They are kind end courteous, and

privileges of their bath houses.
$lagt oi them are past , middle
age and have retired from active
business. , , . Their V houses , and
grounds are beautiful, but thele
is no ostentatatious display and.
no frigid seclusion. lhere is a
shell mound, nearthe bluff that
occupies about an aore of ground,
but it is gradually disappearing,
as the shells are taken away for
paving streets and other uses.
The origin of this mound is hid
den away back in the centuries
when the Indians were lords of
this land and this was their seat
of government. The ' ruins , of
Fort Harrison are very hear" A
fort that our. government estab
lished daring the Seminole war.
All this region for some miles
around is rich In soil, much richer
than the piny woods. In fact the
pines are scarce, in their stead
are seen oaks and hickories and
palmettos And a growth of ohap
parel that is almost impenetrable. .
; Everything seems strange to
those who have not yisited Flori
da. A stroll along this bluff with
the' beautiful houses and groves
behind you 'and the green sea
waters before you, and the shell
covered Death below you, with the
balmy breath of the tro ice infiat
your lnbgs, one feels like he has
just found the fairy land we read
about io our childhood; ! I think
th at I shall . buy a lot here and
get somebody with ; Aladdin's
lamputo build me a house in a
in's a night.... No,' I won't either,
for I am happy where I live and
I don't see anybody who is hap
pier e von. in the gorgeous halls of
Tampa Bay hotel. It is well to
admire everything. that is beauti
ful, but tine homes and gardens
and sylvan yiews do-bring con
tentment, though they may con
ceal the skeleton that is in the
closet. Our stay at the Palmetto
house was made pleasant in
every way, and now we are de
lighted here. But with all this I
am n6t happy delighted, but not
happy, for my . home is broken,
my loved ones scattered and when
I return it will still be broken, for
some, will remain here, and that
little child who is my eomfort
and delight will soon forget me.

Some one has advanced the
statement that not more than fifty
per cent ol the country are read
ers of agricultural literature. H
this be true, and we see no reason
to doubt, then the farmers Ol the
South show a very small percen
tage of readers of agricultural
publications. - While this makes
rather a poor exhibit of the rural
population, still there is much en
couragement, tor there is not the
same antagonism to farm papers
of ridioule of "book farming." It
has become a truism- in this age
that no man is a -first-rate, man
who is not well educated. This
not necessarily meuis a college
graduate, for the means of educa
tion are great outside of schools
or even bookB. :. u
Next to the primary school
teacher is the dally press, then
follow the numerous class publi
cations.: It is possible for an in
telligent farmer to become well
informed (which is education)
upon many topics by. a perusal
of a good daily paper. . If this is
not possible, then it may be partly
supplied by a weekly tewspaper.
By a judicious selection ot class
publications it is possible to be
come learned upon certain topics.
Through a well selected course of
reading, combined with practice
in regard to agricultural special
ties it is possible for a farmer to
become an authority upon these
suMeots.Vv;rSiv;;
The thrifty farmer .who reads
several agricultural papers is by
no means a book farmer.: Suoh
publications are not by any means
intended as reoeipt books; they
Are merely helps to the intelligent
man who in reading has an idea
suggested to his mind 'vbich his
experience aids L'im in putting to
good use. The best agriculturists
ot to day as a rule, are thode who
are liberal patrons of rural period
icals, but they rarely follow the
exact methods of any writer, but
merely oatoh his idea and execute
it upon lines more or less original.
Beginning with-tbe new year is
a Tory good time to make a com
mencement by way ot an experi
ment The farmer who subscribes
to ona or more good papers," and
reads each issue carefully through
the year And fails to derive some
benefit belongs to a class that
finds life itself, however length
ened, not worth the living. The
matter of cost has now become so
insignificant as to have little or
no weight " W would suggest
that each, farmer Jn the South
who is possessed ofTCny ambition
select a list ot five or six papers
and try them the coming . year,
making his selection somewhat
after the following order : His
Church paper, a good u weekly
paper, a paper or mngaziue for
for the children and one or two
good agricultural publications
adapted to his needs. The cost
would not be ten4 dollars for a
whole yerr and he would; have
educators in his family that would
prevent the members growing np
in complete ignorance. '

A good deal has been written
in the secular and religous press
in reference to the location of the
Bey.; Sara P. Jones at the late ses
sion of the North Georgia Confer
ence. It is well that the exact
facts should ' be known," i J Mr.
Jones hirriself speaks , of it as a
case of ; 'yoluntary retirement."
That this phrase, is apt, appears
from the following , indorsement
made by Bishop Haygood on the
back of his certificate of location :
. ''The location of Rev. (Sam P.
Jones, at hiB own 'request (after
the passage of his character), had
nothing to do with his personal or
ministerial character,; but with
the law of the churoh, which does
not authorize the appointment of
proiichora to the work, ot general
6-vangeliBm without -j refenoe ' to
regular pastoral charge."
Mr- JoneS .feltv, that be mnst

at his -own will.. ,. Bishop Kay

the Church authorized him to
make an appoiutiuent of that sort

- Few figures of the vote east bv
the People's party in the late
elections have yet come to hand,
but it is apparent that in almost
every State in which it nominated
candidates' it made little or no
showingIn Virginia alone, where
the Republicans nominated no
candidates this year, it managed
to poll from 75,000 to 80,000
votes, the figures for attorney
general being approximately 79,
000, but no where else has it risen
above the level of An insignifioant
element in the body politic. Nor
is the Virginia vote to be reagard
ed as possessed , of Any special
significance. The fact Is : that
many enthusiastic Populists
thought that they had a good
chance to carry the State against
the . Democrats, and that many
Republicans voted, with them at
this time, in order to- carry dis
oomfitara into tho ranks of the
administration ; party if possible.
The Populist campaign has been
a lively one, but now that the vote
for attorney general at least
has been counted, it is discovered
that . the Democratic : candidate
was elected by 50,000 plurality.
Thus the hopes of Third party in
the : Old Dominion fall with a
thud.
- Out in Ohio two or three years
ago the Populist managers pro
phesied great things. When John
Seitz was nominated for Governor
in 1891, It was fully' predicted
that he would poll 150,000 votes,
but i the offioial figures ot the
election credited him1, with - only
53,472. Similarly enthusiastic
prophecies ; wore indulged in A
year ago this fall but when Gen
eral Weaver's vote was counted,
it ? was j found that 'only 1 14,850
citizens had cast their ballots for
him. And now it is said that
the Populist vote in Ohio has fal
len off about 1,600 in the last
twelve months. - At this rate the
the party will soon disappear in
that State as completely as did the
old greenback organization.' Even
the Prohibitionists are ahead of it
thia year, in spite of the laok of
anything that looks like vigorous
growth in the ranks of the cold
water party. Times have changed
sinoe the Peoples party was or
ganized at Cincinnati ' and . its
speedy success was so boid-y
forecast. r . '" " -

Scott's Hnx, Jan. 10, 1894.
Will, yon allow a constant
reader of your valuable paper to
call attention to some ' errors that
quite a number of onr State pap
ers, and some correspondents too,
have fallen into of late ? w J
V We frequently 'see such state
ments as these : "The , farmer
are better off than for several
years." J'The farmers have plenty
of hog and hominy." The farmer
who has plenty of meat and. bread
does not need muoh money," etc.,
etc. i , Now I do not object to such
statements. In fact, this scribe
rejoices to know that quite a good
number of onr farmers have plen
ty "of hog and hominy;", but I
olaim that the farmer does need
some money well as other people
and that this great money strin
gency is pressing him more than
most other people. ' Thero is an
impression in manT places And
among many people that about
all tho farmer needs is plenty to
eat and about money enough to
buy his family a soanty supply
once a year. - ' , -.
Now why should some, news-
Sapers and newspaper correspond
ents reel ' called npori' to be
constantly ' ' congratulating the
farmer upon the fact that he has
something to eatand rather
intimate that he should be content
with "hog and himiny," while
other people are clamoring' for
more money. ,. , 1 ' i -'
Every man who has a family
should want to beautify his home,
improve his surroundings .. and
make his home attractive. Does
not this . disposition Apply ! as
muoh to the farmer as other peo
ple? And if bo, does not the
farmer need some cash to replen
ish his furniture, displace worn
ont carpets with new ones and
otherwise improve his home and
make it as attractive for his family
as his city brother ? ..Again, does
not every intelligent man want to
educate his children ? And if so,
who will say the intelligent farmer
does not need money to educate
his children ? The fact is - the
city father has decidedly the ad
vantage of his country , brother in
giving his children a , primary,
education, At 5 least, j Pnblio
schools in onr town And cities Are
much most conducive v of good
than public schools in rural dis
tricts, -so that the farmer 'who
wants to - educate his children
muBt have more money to prepare
his sons for college or business
than town folks.;M;-w;j-':
f But why shculd the farmer1 be
oontent with a primary or com
mon ' ;. school eduoation , for his
children 1 He has as much right
to want his boys and girls in ' our
best colleges and universities as
the merchant, prince,: and if, we
grant him this privilege, of couree
he will need money, because it
costs as much to educate fanners'
children as children of other peo
ple,:',:;sii.. :;t? ''A'-jvVuT'
And againJ Our people a
goodly number of them at letst
love to build churches and have
comfortable plices in which to
meet and worship God. Does not
this inclination . to have good
churches and good preaching ap
ply as mooli to the farmers as to
other people t There seems to be
an impression in Some quarters
that all the elegant churches and
fine pfeacbess must be in the city.
Now, farmers do not need crave
towering steeples founded on a
missive pile of 1 bro jrnstone 'or
brick." Nor do they -crave fine
pipe organs tnat cos's thousands
of dollars, and they '.ate "coutunt
to sit on comfortable benches in
stead if opera chairs;' bit' while
the farmer ia content with ls
imposing structure and 1 "i t' ; l
