FLORIDA LETTER.

Stevensville, Fla., Feb. 2. Editor Democrat:—We are still camping on the banks of the Steinhatchee, waiting for the uprising of the sunken flat boat to ferry us across the river. We were told before we came here that it was a “little old, sorry flat,” and such seems to be the case. But it’s probable that time and patience, perseverance and a “nigger” will bail it out and raise it and carry us to the other side, if we don’t sink it again on the way. We two and Mr. and Mrs. Valentine, where we are camped, went fishing one day last week on the river in a row boat. The party caught 16 fine salt water trout ot which Mrs. Myers caught one. Myers did not fish but busied himself taking off the fish and baiting the hooks. We got so interested in the fishing that we kept him out till half past two without any dinner, and he nearly starved to death. Yesterday the same party went down the river about four miles to nearly the mouth, then branched off into Porpoise creek and followed that till we came out into the Gulf of Deadman’s Bay. We went for oysters but did not find any very large ones. The freshet of last summer had killed all the old beds. However, we got enough for a good mess all around and plenty enough to get our hands all cut up gathering, culling and opening them. We went out the mouth of the creek and around outside into the mouth of the river with the windr blowing a good stiff breeze outside but iu the river, under the bank, we were more sheltered. We saw a great school of mullet jumping and feeding, and Myers nearly went into spasms because we did not have the gill net with us. We trolled a spoon hook way behind us on the river and caught three big red fish. On our way home we stopped at “Old Man Jim Stephens,’” who is known far and near, up and down the coast; owns thousands of acres of land, has thousands of dollars in the bank, so the natives tell us, and they also tell us that he has killed two men and suspected of killing the third; that he had been in the chain gang, and many more bloodcurdling tales. He owns the river side land both sides the river for miles and makes the fisherman all pay him $lO a year for the privilege of landing on his land land disposing of their fish. We I found him to be a very shrewd old 'duck, of the very proper speaking (old school of Southerners. He says he is entirely blind, goes with one eye open and one eye shut which gives him a rather crafty look, not consistent with his patriarchal style of countenance. He keeps a general store in one. room of his log house, and the ! way he gets around and finds I I goods and weighs and measures! I them off to his customers is al- ! most as great a triumph of science ] over nature as is the education of I Helen Kellar. Mrs. V. gave him ! a silver dollar for some merchandise and he took it, went to the scales, balanced them, set them for some weight, 1 could uor see what, then threw on the dollar, saw that it balanced and pocketed it contentedly. It seems he once i had a bogus dollar passed on him. and since then he weighs every one he gets. The store itself was a never-to-be-forgotten nightmare. Two hundred dollars would buy everything in it but the dirt, but he said he was “just out” of everything asked for, ns “the steamer is expected in to-morrow or next day.” The steamer comes in the river every two weeks from Cedar Keys with freight for “Old Man Jim,” for Stephensville and for Jonesville, two miles up the river. Flour jjells here 28 pounds for a dollar; sugar, 13 pounds for a dollar; Corn, $1.20 a bushel; meat about the same as at home. Farmers are getting ready to plant corn. They plant it in rows about eight feet apart with one stalk in a hill and plant peanuts or peas between. All farm work is done with a single horse, mule or ox, and with the most primitive machinery. This country is of very peculial formation. The limestone rock comes nearly to the top rail of the fence. The small creeks that run into the river run part of the time ont in the open air and part of the time under ground, or rock out of sight. There is a large fissure in the rock near the river about three blocks from camp where a man can walk in and stand up. From the upper end of this comes two springs side by side about a foot or two apart and from one spring comes pure limestone water and from the other sulphur and magnesia water. There are places along tne river where the odor of sulphur water is very strong, so there are probably more : of these sulphur springs. The niggers are all crazy to have their “pitchers” (photos) taken.

I think a photographer with a small, or multiplying camera, could get every penny they earned here. We are going to the turpentine camp some day and round up the little “nigs” and get a picture to take north. There are 20 or 30 of the children, all sizes and colors. Mr. Johnson of the Turpentine Co., has promised to go with Air. Myers soon on a deer hunt. He has some fine dogs and is a great hunter.

OBITUARY.

Georere Lester Thornton, only child of Samuel B, and Nora (Moffitt; Thornton, departed this life, Thursday morning, Jan. 30. 1903, at 8:30 o’clock. He was born Aug. 14, 1805, age 0 yrs. 5 months and 16 days. He was sick about two months, but bore bis suffering with much calmness and patience for one so young. When his parents would weep, he would say. “Don't cry, we must look to Jesus about these things.” His testimony was "I love Jesus,” and was always wanting to ‘‘trust the Lord.” Lester was a very bright and intelligent little fellow, and was loved by all. Though this was his first year in school, he was foremost in his class. He was full of love, life and energy, which made his parents very hopefui of a bright future for him. But alas I when hope was highest the grim reaper came. The marriage of these parents took place July 13, 1884, and this was the only child born to this union. Into the lives of his parents, he came and went like a beautiful beam of sunshine. Like a flower by the wayslde he bloomed, and like a flower, his young life was cut off. The funeral services took place at the residence on Saturday, Feb 1, at 11 a. m. conducted by Eider John Sage, of near Foresman. after which the remains of the little darling were taken to Rensselaer and laid to rest in Weston cemetery, The pall bearers were four young ladies viz; Misses Alta Nowels and Mabie Kenton, of the Vaughn neighborhood, and Misses Lilly Sayler and Elsie Rowen of Rensselaer. Dearest" Lester, thou hast left us 'Tis here 'hy loss we deeplj - feel But 'tis God that hath bereft us. He can all our sorrows heal. Dearest Lester thou hast left us In this world of greif and pain. Like a sunbeam thou wert taken But in heaven we'll meet again. Like a rosebud yet unfolded Yet thy beauty we have known Thou wilt lead us up to Je us. And we'll dwell with thee at home. Like a guardian angel watching, Down upon our pathway lone Thou dost beckon us to follow Thee, upon the golden throne, relatives. Mr. and Mrs. S. B. Thornton desire to express through the colurns bf The Democrat their heartfelt thanks for the kindness and sympathy of ne’ghbors and friends during the sickness and subsequent death of their 1 title son.

A Night Alarm.

Worse than an alarm of fire at night is the brassy cough of croup, which sounds like the children’s deafh knell and it means death unless something is done quickly. Foley’s Honey and tar never fails to give instant relief and quickly cures the worst fotms of croup. Mrs. P L. Cordier, of Mannington, Ky., writes: "My three year old girl had a severe case of croup; the doctor said she could not live. I got a bottle of Foley’s Honey and Tar, the first dose gave quick relief and saved her life." Refuse substitutes. A. F. Long.

As He Found It.

My cattle got to running down, Which greatly broke me up, I thought they’d soon run in the ground, Unless they could be stopped, They ate their heads off their tails And yet it did no good. They did not fatten when they got Outside of all their food. My horses they protruded bones And got so verj’ thin, Right through the barn cracks they’d creep ont, When out,—why they’d creep in. My shoats and sheep, they fell off too, Though lots of grain they chewed. Then neighbor Jones he said to me, “Now try some Acme Food.” j I laughed at neighbor Jones’ remark, l Because I could not see Just how a little of that stuff, so powerful could be. I He said, says he, give it a whirl, I Then tell if it is good. Now neighbor’s head is pretty right, So I tried Acme Food. Well now ! my cattle t hey picked up As that there stuff went down. The sick ones got their appetites, The thin ones,—they got round. My shoats and sheep no longer moped I tell you I felt good myself, And it was just on account Of that there Acme Food. My horses got so slick and spry, They were a sight to see, I had to thank old neighbor Jones, For his remark to me. It gave new life to everything Since it improved their blood, And such a little it does take Of this here Acme Food. My chickens went to laying eggs, When other chickens quit. It is so cheap that I told Jones It hardly cost a bit. And all my neighbors round about, They saw it was so good, That every blessed one of them

Are using Acme Food.

THE 20TH CENTURY Manure Spreader! PROFITS—the greatest possible amount of money from the labor expended, is the result sought to be attained by every farmer. Thirty or forty bushels of corn or a ton and a half of hay from $75 to SIOO land is a very poor return for labor expended, and this is especially true when the yield of corn or hay can be increased from 50 per cent to 10G per cent and without any further investment than $l2O in a 20th Century Manure Spreader. Manure spread with a 20th Century will go from three to five times as far as when spread by hand I And will do more than five times as much good Enough and not too much isv used, and the entire crop is treated instead of a little corner as heretofore. Manure is not wasted! Dollars will be harvested by the users of the 20th Century where quarters were harvested before! KENNEDY & JESSEN, Agents for Newton and Jasper Counties, Morocco or Rensselaer.
