ST. AUGUSTINE, FLA, May :, 1884
EDITOR DAILY NEWS:
In your excellent issue of to-day you
speak of some educational difficulties.
Will you permit me, practical teacher,
to rise in the defense of the poorly paid
necessarily cramped, and consequently
much abused teacher. In this country
of ours, blame can't long be laid upon
the voters who who do or CAN run it to
suit themselves, hence your verdict in
cludes an incompetent public opinion on
the subject. Success rests upon person
ality, and in all history you see the truth
of my assertion, hence successful public
schools rest upon some person in each
county or community, but it is based on
some unit, no matter who that unit is.
It's presence must be felt ere success
crowns your public schools. But to the
thread of thought as laid down by you:
You, in the Aame of the people of
Florida, demand better teachers. Yes,
it's good demand!
And of course you demand that which
makes a good teacher, good doctors, good
lawyers. good printers, good farm hands,
good carpenters, and no less than in these
magic words, good pay and prompt
pay" for good teachers" Dare you

CITY NOTES.
JAPITOLA.

Mr. T. B. Lanier, of Sumter county,
was in the city Thursday.
Mr.. B. NJ. Miller has lost an Irish set
ter pup, for which he offers a reward in
our special column this morning.
Paper dealers are sometimes careles8in
filling orders, and on this account THE
NEWS is being printed with, as a face
cious friend has it, ''bOb-tailed mar
GIN"
Tax Assessor J. w. Woods informs US
that he is making satisfactory progress in
the work of assessing the property of the
county, He will finish up in about six
weeks.
The Gainesville Advocate observes
''that the Palatka fire company is COM
posed of as fine looking a set of men as
have been seen on our streets for long
time"
The streets present a lively appearance
every afternoon when it is cool. The
ladies come out in large numbers and
promenade the many pleasant places
around town.
Yesterday Lansing & Co. had several
crates of as fine Irish potatoes as one
would wish to see. They were grown
by Mr.. E. S. Buggy, whose place is just
across the river.
The century plant in the Morange grove
continues to grow and the stem is now
about twenty feet in height No blooms
have as vet shown up, but no doubt it
will bloom now in very short time.
A gentleman was in town yesterday
looking for location for an extensive
lumber yard to be established in Palatka.
This is an enterprise that property own
ers should not be slow to encourage.
"Where will the coming man live?" is
a startling question asked by modern
philosopher. If rents keep rushing up
the way they do now we fear the coming
man will have to live with his father-in-
law"
Mr.. H. A. Meyer says that the best
place in the world to have good time
and lots of fun is in Jacksonville as the
guest of the firemen of that city. Mr.
Never has been there and knows what
he is talking about.
EN-. Vary, ESQ.,, who has been so seri-
ously i'll, is, we are glad to state, again
on the streets, and though weak and pale
evidently convalescent. We have missed
his pleasant face for many days, and are
delighted to have him again with us.
The turn-table of the J., T. & K. W.
R. R. was disabled yesterday morning
when the engine was run on it for the
purpose of turning around The center
bearings were broken to such an extent
that it can not be used until new castings
are made.
Vertrees & Co. received yesterday four
hundred bales of hay, and their store
room is now packed to the ceiling with
that scarce commodity. We learn that
hay is advancing rapidly in price, as the
west is being called on for larger quanti-
ties than it can supply. An immense
amount of hay is sold from this point.
The City Council of Gainesville, at
their last meeting passed the following
resolution.
RESOLVED. THAT the thanks of the
city of Gainesville be extended to the fire
companies of the city of Palatka and
Jacksonville for their generous endeav-
ors to come to its assistance during the
late disastrous fire, also to the Florida
Southern Railway for transporting the
Palatka Company to the city, and to the
Florida Navigation Company for their
offer of a special fast train for transport
ing the Jacksonville Company"
