Key West has not quite got nd Of
yellow Jack. The Democrat of the 10th
inst. says cat the last issue of this pa
per there was not q case of yellow fever
in this city, and our physicians thought
all danger over, and kilograms were sent
by different parties to that effect but in
the last week there has been few new
cases and some deaths, even in the face
of these spasmodic cases we believe that

BY reference to the notice of election
published in this ISSUE by the Board of
Commissioners, to be held on the 14th of

judgment holders refuse to accept the
last election as it stood, with the votes of
"No Bonds thrown out, and desiring to
have a full, fair and undoubted express

bia, give their consent to new election.

The prosperity of all sections Of the
United States leaves no doubt on the
mind as to the prospects of a large in
crease of visitors to this section this sea-
son. Already it is noticed that the boats

home. Pdlatka Herald
This has been nominally court week,
but it was only in name, for our people
have become such law abiding folks, that
while only two terms back it required two
weeks to get over the docket, now four
days is ample time. A legal gentleman
remarked to us that if this state of things
continued lawyers would have to go to
work or starve. Judge Maxwell informed
us that Santa Rosa was no better than
other counties on his circuit. So much

The South Florida Times, one of our
most interesting exchanges, thus com
pliments the FLoRIDIAN: s'The FLoR1D1AN
has ceased its publication as semi
weekly, which was only promised its read
ers during the campaign. 1t worked
nobly and untiringly in the interest of
Governor Bloxham's election and for the
success of the rest of the ticket, and we
cheerfully recommend it to the citizens of
Florida as one of the largest, newsiest
and best printed weeklies in the State
