HILLSBORO, TAMPA, FLORIDA. An Old Highland Girl" Writes an Interesting and Enter. talning Letter From the Land of Golden Sunshine, Balmy Breezes and Gentle from Obesia, 10,5 dubbed an "Old Highland Boy," I sup. poss the writer of this communication may property style herself "ant Old Highland seeing that she lived and had her being in the dear old county many has made us weekly visits for the past year. It has brought us news of old friends and familiar places until we almost feel as though we could resch over and shake hands in joyous greeting, wishing all'a glad New Year.

Four years ago, warm Sunday A we landed Tampa, tolltravel stained and all, that WO hatted a stopping place with unfringed joy a relief from sea sickness and all other discomforts of travel on the water. We found Tampa only a sleepy old hamlet, lying inert on the banks of the Hillsboro river, just where the river to to the bay' bearing the re was pretty and quaint, has so the lively townste which Hid been tomed.

Ind part of yellow fever in its bad I should not dread it so much It is a that must be quickly and rightly dealt with. It is over and if proper care is taken leaves no bad results. On the contrary many who were ailing before having the fever are in much better health since having it. My husband has not felt as well for years.

However I do not mean to recommend an attack of yellow jack as an antidote for all human ills. It has been a fearful time and we do not care to try another epidemic. We had been priding ourselves all the preceding summer on the excellent health of our place, in spite of our neighbor, Key West, having the fever, and our own liability to 1c, until became 'too confident, think, when then, on the third of October the news burst upon us that the dreadfal foe was at our door. No wonder it filled us with dismay. Such stampede! The frightened people flew in all directions, and by ever possible mode of conveyance.

Two days and nights they went and went until it really looked as though the town would deserted; only about six hund red were left, including the blacks, who did not fear the lever as the whites did. Two days and then the quarantine shat down tight and fast no communication with the outer world except by mail, and was all fumigated. Those who had cided to stay settled down to the business before us, resolved to sell our lives dearly as possible. Bravely we stood each other in the dark days when gloom and disease hovered over every house and many of our citizens sickened and The long, long weary days longer, wearier nights dragged their slow length along for three dreadful months, the air heavy with moans tears. Often in the night we heard rumbling of wheels and knew some other victim had fallen and was being hurried away to be buried where funeral service was spoken and scarcely a friend in attendance to drop a tear the lonely bier.

Our family (eight all) were all down with the fever at time, We were among the first, we are very glad as we had to dread the fever or even frightened at its approsch, Fortunately without the loss of one, better than sone of In some cases more than the being taken.

But the cloud has rolled away once more Tampa basks in the sunshine of health and prosperity; her breath untained, her future enlarged, she site in holiday garb and gladly welcomes in the New Year of 1888.

Such golden sunshine; such balmy breezes; such gentle showers; no dread. ful blizzards and no SNOW or. mud. Florida's climate can not be excelled.

We sit to-night with wide-open doors and windows and without fire. To-day we enjoy fresh, ripe tomatoes for dinner. Cacumbers, lettuce, young onions, beets and other vegetables are on the market. Oranges are in their prime. It is a pretty sight, the green foliage and yellow fruit of the orange tree, all green and gold.

THE WORK Oar Lawmakers Are Doing at bus. COLUMBUS, Jan. 21st, 1888. ED the close of the second week of our Legislature one hundred and fifty-five bills and resolutions had been introduced, of which much the larger number are merely local, and of no interest to the general publio only so far as the principle of local taxation by the legislature without submitting such tax to a vote of the is concerned. A principle which has been disregarded so far in the hasty legislation of this body.

Among the bills of a general nature introduced one authorizing the County Commissioners, County Treasurer and Auditor, as a board, to employ an agent whenever they shall have reason to. believe property has not been properly listed for taxation to hunt up and report the same one to prevent the killing of certain birds very important to the members of the General Assembly, that of increasing their salaries to one thousand dollars year and the Speaker pro tem. of the Senate and Speaker of the House each to receive twelve hundred and fifty dollars; one reducing the fees of county officers; one submitting to the voters of townships whether intoxicating liquors shall be sold within boundaries; one prohibiting coupties, townships or municipal corporations from contracting any public debt exceeding ten per cent. of the valuation of their reality one to prevent the desecration of the Sabbath by the prevention of all shows or theatical performances on that day; one to tax mortgages of absentees from the State, unless they can show capital is taxed in the State where they reside; one to have the books for the common schools of the State arranged and published by a commision; one to have the effect of alcoholic and, other stimulanta on the human system taught in the common schools. To day (Saturday) at the close there has been two hundred and five bills and resolutions introduced to be acted on.

Some will pass, while many, more will die in the committee rooms or be knocked in the head in the House or Senate. The great question is to keep expenses within our legitimate income. If we wish to pros per State must not be landed down with a debt. J. Ban FOR LEASE.

EDITOR NEWS-HERALD-I think it RO more than just that you should give me space to reply to "Dionne's corrections." I did not mean to misrepresent any one. I simp'y told the truth and in' as mild a form as the facta in the case would admit. He denies the French have dented the English use of the church. Did they. not deny then this privilege on the night referred to If they did not why was it necessary to open the U.

B. Church? Again the building has not been accepted from the building committee. Then how can the French say wha shall and who shall not use Again the English hold the deed of said church and all the French have is an article conveying to them the use of the old church as long as they agree with the English. He says meeting was to be had and minister was called without the knowledge of the elders or minister. Is this in keeping with the truth.

when Dionne announced the meeting himself the Sunday previous? I say again had it not been for the energy push and money of the English the building would not be he deny that they (the French) were on the streets? Did they not meet certain parties on the streets and begin quarreling about said church Does he deny they were about the church with bulls eye lanterns? That they shined anyone? He imitates that I thought blood shed would have followed the entering of the English. I stated nothing of the kind. Lor no other could have predicted what would have followed, except those that were in the ring. H. B.

Two Hamer Township Citizens Leave on a Western Prospecting Tour And Nothing Has Been Heard From Them Since Their Departure. Messrs. Leonard Fawley and Israel Runyan were until the fifth day of last October residents of Hamer township.

It will be remembered, especially by our readers in that portion of the county, that this man Fawley some eighteen months ago eloped with a daughter Mr. Wilson Fenner (who was the sixteen years old and WAS attending school) and went to Kentucky, whore they were married. Returning to Hamer they have since been living with bis mother 8 few -miles north of Danville. Last fall Fawley had a sale of his personal property, preparatory to going to Nebraska to prospect for a new home. After the sale he turned all the notes into money, which amounted to over $600, and told his wife that in three weeks he would be back after her and their child, and gave her $25 for use while he was gone.

On the above named day he, in company with the said Mr. Runyan, who is a bachelor about. forty five years of age, came to boro and boarded the train for their western destination, since which time not a word or tidings has been heard from either one of the two. As neither gentleman had any known cause whatever to keep secret their whereabouts, and as they had never traveled to any extent, it is feared by their relatives and friends that something serious, or per haps death, has happened them. together it is a mysterious case.
