Mr.. A. c.. Cowan, the handsome and
clever travelling agent of the Savannah,
Florida and Western railway, is in the
city His headquarters are at Gaines
vile, and he represents one of the best
roads in the country.
The telegraph Office has been moved
from the room over Moragne's pharma-
cy to the passenger depot of the j., T. &
! K. w, railroad. The new office is nicely
fixed up with new instruments and an
elegant new table, which will be sup
piled with four instruments.
Mr.. L. Meyer has just received a large
shipment of brushes manufactured espe-
cially for the purpose of cleaning orange
trees. Get one and give your trees a
scrubbing. He also received yesterday
one hundred barrels of oil, which he is
having stored in his warehouse on Madi-
son street.
There are many nOXious weeds grow
ing in the streets, and now maturing.
They at this period exhale sickening
odor, which cannot possibly be conducive
to health Let them be cut down and
removed and the places where they
grew receive liberal application Of
lime
The pile driving for the approach to
the railroad bridge across the st. Johns
river, at Buffalo bluff, will be finished to-
day The approach and bridge will be
something over a mile in length, and
the pile driving is pronounced by compe-
tent judges to be the prettiest job, of the
kind. ever executed in this country.
An excursion will leave this city Sun
day morning at 7 o'clock, for Fernandina
over the j., T. & K. W. railroad. A big
crowd is expected 70 go, and the sched-
ules have been so arranged az to give the
excursioaists five and half hours in
Fernandina, giving ample time to get a
good view of the city and enjoy a sea
bath. See advertisement.
The city council has ordered the pur-
chase of one hundred barrels of lime to
be used in sprinllling over the city as q
sanitary measure. This is a good move,
and we hope our citizens will procure
lime and strew it over their premises.
The health of tae city will depend in a
great measure upon the efforts of private
individuals, and everyone should keep
his lots in as clearly condition as posi-
bic.
While at West Tocoi the other day we
noticed that the depot and waiting rooms
on the wharf had been completed. 1t is
Il handsome little building, and travellers
over the Jacksonville, Tampa and Key
West railraad will find that it is not SC
uncomfortable while waiting for trains
or boats there now as formerly. The
house consists of a general waiting room
u freight and baggage room and an office
for the agent at that point. The railroad
y people intend making beautiful little
park on the ground between the tracks
forming the "Y" there, and when the
trees and shubbery are put out it will be
one of the prettiest atdmost comfortable
places on the road.
