John went to Washington the following morning. Two weeks dragged themselves away, and then something unexpected happened to shorten hie sojourn in Washington. His purpose was accomplished with less difficulty than ha had anticipated, and in full realization of his fond hopes,he hurried baek to Lila. He had not written her, beoause ho wanted to take her by surprise, and he never dreemed of hie ooming. It was rather late one evening when he ran op the steps and pulled the bell. There was a bright light in the parlor, and John leaned over to peep through the laoe curtains into the room. "Pshaw 1" he exolalmed, with much vexation as he saw a gentleman sitting with his bsok toward the window. OTI.M.I. Till *UOlO O WLUVUUUJ IIUV4VI AM on np to the sitting-room." The door was opened by a little col* ored girl, who was the only eerrant that the Weirs kept. "Hush? shl" John said, warningly, as he stepped into the hall. "Don't tell any one I am here. Katie." The little girl retired under cover of a broad grin. "I wonder who Is in therel" John said, refleotively, as he stepped np to the hat-raok to identify the hat and overcoat that were hanging there. There was a eane with a beaten-sil er head lying aoross the top of the raok, and under it a brown overcoat hanging beside a Derby hat. John's face changed its expression, as he took down the hat, and saw inside of it an embroidered band marked, "T. W. P." "Thovndyok Farringfconl" he muttered, with quick resentment, and just then he heard Lila's voioe raised to a key somewhat higher than ordinary. "John is so fearfully jealous 1" ehe said. "I don't know what to do with himl" "Why do you putnp with it?" was the query, in a lower tone. "I cannot bear to see you subject to the will of snoh a man, darling. I wish you would let me pnt a stop to itl" "I am going to write to him myself," said Lila. "X oan't stand it any longer. I have fully made np my mind to break off our engagement."

Th A Snvtnnnli K?w? mr*- "Tli? planters of South Carolina, Georgia and 1 Florida are not suffering beoause of the ' current low prices of cotton to the extent that they would in all probability have suffered a few years ago with the same price for the reason that they are now diversifying *helr crops and ra;aiDg their provisions. They are, however, heavy losers through tho fact that more cotton is being produced than tho world wants, or tho ability of speculators to depress tho prices of the staple until the crop is all out of the hands of the producers, as tho case may be. But whatever may bo the cause "of the low price of cotton, it is evident that thero must bo still further diversification of cropa. Cotton must be giveu lossnttention and acreage, and other crops more of eucb. Tobacco seems to be one of tho most promising monoy crops for this section. After the disaster to the Florida orange groves mnnv of tho grove-owners turned their attention to vegetable, grain aud tobacco crops, and today they aro more prosperous tliau they were before tboir orange treos were destroyed. The orange trees are now growing "ugniu, and tho indications nro that it will not bo a great whilo before the fruit will bo as great a source of revenue in Florida as ever before. But the planters will not give up their vegetables, g ain and tobacco and again depend altogether upon oranges. The or an go orop will be somewhat in tho uature of an extra source of iuoomo. Thero is considerable tobacco grown in South Carolina aud more in Florida. Georgia produces but littlo.
