The Tobacco Growers and Dealers
Conveution which met at Ocala, Fla.,
January 12, 1897, was an important
gathering in more than one particular,
Very few, if any, of the delegates out-
side the State of Florida had any con-
ception of the objects of the meeting
when they went into convention. Che
delegates were appointed by the Gov..
ernors of the various states by request
of the Governor of Florida to attend a
convention of tobacco growers and
dealers at Ocala, Jan. 12th, and prompt-
ly at 12 oTclock on that date the
President of the Board of Trade of
Ocala, Mr. F. A, Tegue, called the
vonvention to order.
After reading the call for convention
oby the Governor, be stated that the
objects ot the convention was to induce
immigration to Florida and interest the
people of the State in growing cigar
_tobuvco. He then introduced Col. W.

d themselves together and from |
tobacco fields and take up their sword
for their country, and the strong
demand tor Cuban tobacco had caused
experiments to be made with it in
Florida which in every case has proven
highly successsful. Thus, said he
CubzTs misfortune is FloridaTs oppor-

creation) could be sunk and you would
never know it was there except for the
fine wooden nut megs that might be}
seen floating around the top.�
After this the parmanent organiza-
tion was effected anda committee on
work of the convention.
The main work consisted in discus"
sions by delegates mainly from different
sections of Florida on the cigar tobacco
industry uf the State.
Prior to the civil war tobacco was
one of the leading monetary crops of
middle Florida, but for some cause its
culture never spread and while since
that time in different sections ot the
State small crops of it have been grown
not until the last few years has much
attention been given it. Two causes |
have been potent in leading to the
present boom in the tobacco industry.
The severe freeze of 1894-95 almost
literally destroyed the orange industry
which at that time had assumed enor-
mous proportions and Gost the orange
growers, accoraing to good authority,
between five and six million dollars.
Discouraged and disheartened at their
almost destitute condition they began
to look for other resources from which
to make a support.
About this time the cruel ravages of
the Cuban war had driven many of the
Cuban tobacco planters from their
firms, thus very materially decreasing
the production of Cuban tobacco.
A few prominent tobacco planters
not caring to participate in the war
came over to Florida to experiment in
Cuban tobacco. The result of their
trials have been highly satisfactory and
during last year there were a number
of cro.s planted in different sections of
the State which were sold at very
satisfactory prices, even under the dis-
advantage of the first yearTs experiment.
These have induced numbers of others
tv engage in tobacco culture this year
and nw doubt the industry will prove a
piotivable and permane. one as the
terruory is so smail in which tobacco is
grown that there is no danger inT over
stocking the market,

SVEFEATED
For Three Years He Suffered " Could
Hardly Breathe at Night"One Nostril
Closed for Ten Years.
Mr. A. M. Ramsey, of De Leon, Texas,
was a sufferer from Catarrh in its
worst form. Truly, his description of
his sufferings seem little short of mar-
velous. Instead of seeking his couch,
glad for the nightTs coming, he went to
it with terror, realizing that another
long, weary, wakeful night and a
struggle to breathe was before him.

in fact, I dreaded to see night come. Now!
