Agricultural pursuits in this pro- gressive age are proving “a joy for. ever” and Florida soil is yielding !hnnd-ome returns and giving con— stant surprises to ber sister States. A glance at the premium list of the Polk County Falr will convince even the most skeptical that it re- quires comparatively small labor and expense to produce all exhibits that are slated for the fair.

As to corn: With the advent of our pcpular canning clubs we not oniy have all we need for present use but are enabled to set aside any sumption tween the hours of 1 and 5 Monday | in order to give all a chance to par- ticipate in the parade. One o fthe amusing and interest - ine features connected with the fair will be a street dance, which will be held next Wednesday night. The dancers will be masked, and the af- fair will partake of the nature of a | carnival frolic, and doubtless will be greatly enjoyed by both partiei- pants and spectators. The exact location of the dance arena, and other particularg have not yet defl. nitely been decided upon, but will be announced in due time. Mr. T, B.

BY ESCAPED BANDIT ‘Boynton, ‘Fln.. Feb. 19.—C. A. Steel and F. W. Bischoff of Pome- roy, lowa, while at their hunting and fishing camp, established near the range line canal, nine miles west of this place, were attacked, it is alleged, by the notorious John Ashley gang, headed by Ashley him- self, who escaped from the West ‘Palm Beach jail during last term of court, last Monday night at 7 o'clock. Ashley was on trial at the time of his escape for the murder of DeSoto Tiger, the Seminole Tndian. The hunters were sitting around the camp fire in front of their tent, in comppny with their gulde, Claven Myers, when the gang appeared on the canal bank. Asnley, evidently mistaking the hunting party for of- ficers of the law, called out: “Build up your fire a bit if you want to see blood; business is picking up,” and instantly a fusillade of bullets from high powered rifies began. Myers was wounded three times and Mr. Bischoff had three holes through hig coat. The volce of Ashley, who has a price upon his head both by the state and United States govern. ment, was quickly recognised by Guide Myers. The uninjured men, after seeing the bandits eseape to the north, routed out a farmer and secured a mule team, driving to Boynton, where Deputy Sheriff C.
