Peach trees are in bloom and as they bloom from December to May, you may see peaches as large as chestnuts among the flowers. Or- ange and grapefruit packing is past the flood tide, still you may see many trees, and even groves bending to the ground, and are as abundant and as cheap as apples in Ohio when the crop is abundant. You are allowed tn go into your neighbor’s grove and fill a large basket as freely as Ohio people do with apples. One of the strange things to the northerner is to sep the castor-bean, like great trees, 30 to 40 feet high, and many years old, blooming and bearing every month in the year.

GOVERNOR HOOPER GRANTS UNUSUAL PARDON. our nearly Nashville, Tenn., Jan. 30.—In or~ der that the baby of a woman convict may not open its eyes within grim prison walls, Governor Hooper today, in an interview, stated that he would see that Lillle Lusk, & woman serv- ing a five-year sentence in prison hcre, would be taken out of the in- stitution before the event. Lillie Lusk is a woman who was accused of being an accessory before the fact in an age of consent law violation. She was tried in her home county and sentenced by a jury of her neighbors to serve five years. Her case came to the notice of & Nashville newspaper, and after much agitation Governor Hooper yesterday replied to a polnt blank question as follows: “Ten children have been bora In prison in recent years, so I have been reliably informed. But I do not in- tend that this shall happen during my administration. Whatever sheg may have done her unborn child is not responsible for it. Out of come sideration for its future T will see that it is not born in prison. This [ can bring about without additional legislation.” Ap Interesting point is that Gov- ernor Hooper himself was picked up as a walf, and, as far as it is known, does not know the names of his own father and mother. The remembrance of this may have had something to do with his decision, it is thought. LABOR PARTY -—
