The Huntsville Weekly Democrat June 12, 1882
  Eight years ago Mr. James Cunningham left Pickens county, Ala., to seek a 
soft place in Florida.  The first two years of his stay there, he taught 
school at a salary of $700 per year, he invested what money he had saved from 
this amount, in land, and started an orange grove.  He then came back to his 
former home in Pickens county, Ala., married, and went back to Florida.  Last 
summer he paid a visit to his friends in Alabama. While here he got returns 
from New York for the sale of that year’s crop of oranges, which netted him 
over $10,000.  We give this on the authority of a gentleman who has known Mr. 
Cunningham for years, and we are satisfied that it is in no detail 
exaggerated.—Gainesville Reporter.
