The fact that gives the Times a tcxt for this homily is the holding of the poultry exhibition that has just come to a highly successful con- clusion. We are informed not only by the newspaper accounts, but by the reports of those who saw it, that the show was a most signal success in every particular, in exhibits, in attendance and in the interest tak- en both by home people and strang- ers. While the home exhibits were nu- merous and meritorious, and, of course, constituted the majority of those on view, there were many from other States, four States be- sides Florida showing among the prize-winners. Such exhibitions do good as show- ing the possibilities of Florida in this, one of the chief of the so-called minor Industries.—Tampa Times. WATERMELONS FOR SOUTH FLORIDA WINTER CROF. That watermelons in the winter ason could be made a commerci: peseibility and would be a well-pay- ing crop, is the opinion cf Capt. J A. Leslie, who has a place on Annaz Maria key, near Cortez.

Silver and G -n \loral Glass, motored to Cortez and at Capt. Leslie’s place ate a watermelon which the captain gathered from his gar- den. There was plenty for the party of eight. “I am of the opinion that water- melons could be grown practically throughout the year in South Flor- ida,” said Capt. Leslie to a Times man. “And they would bring high brices in the eastern markets. It cer~ tainly s worth trying out.” Capt. Leslie did not weigh the melon. Some time since the Times printed a briet mention of a watermelon party at the home of W. S. Nelms in this city, at which a twenty-five pound melon was eaten. The melon was picked a few days after Christmas and Mr. Nelms has had others since that date.—Tampa Times. GAINESVILLE MAN, IN ILL HEALTH, CUTS HIS THROAT. » L Gainesville, Feb. 15.—Gecrge 8.
