That would produce three hundred thousand dollars. b ‘Then let us suppose that only four . thousand stay here, and that only half of the number ship in their household goods from their former homes, and that the average shipping - cost {8 as low as one hundred dollars. ; i That is two hundred thousand dol- A ' lars of freight business. Then we 1] shall suppose that only half of the 1 i* four thousand or two thousand, pro- duce only one car of fruit or vege- tables per year, and that the aver- + age shipping charge on that is as low as one hundred dollars a car. That is two hundred thousand dollars per : year ! ‘“We shall than take into consid- | | eration that no matter where the 1 four thousand locate they must eat, wear clothec and have the necessi- ; ties and these things must be shipped over these railroads to their respec- tive neighborhoods, and we have a constant stream of revenue from that source pouring j§nto their coffefs.

Ireland instead of the United States. 4 Lové lhughs at more things than k. % loegsmiths and international mar- . {rlageq do mot all come to grief. The J + “effete nobility’ which is the especial % abhorrence of the Eagle, had nothing 5 to do with this particular marriage, # and the-red-blooded Irishman who % won one of the fairest daughters of ® Florida, was no fortune hunter, for ¥ his bride had no fortune to give him \ save her own priceless self. Live Oak is now preparing to blow 3 her own horn right. She is organiz- % ing a brass band of fourteen members ; with a competent instructor. Al wide-awake, up-to-date towns sup- port good brass bands of stricuy home make, and without such an at- tachment the outside world views the i .pretensions of a town with marked i suspicion.
