A good-sized hole has been washed out
Just at the plank walk leading to the
wharf in front Of the Larl1in House,
which is increasing in size with every
rain.
Some of the young men of Palatka
despite the cooling breezes and delight
full evenings, complain of hot weather,
while at the same time everybody knows
+I,ot thew are in love with s0me-her.
Every variety of Salt and Fresh Water
Fish kept on hand, dressed and delivered

Richmond Williams was before the
mayor yesterday on a charge of using
unlawful games to obtain money, and
was fined SIS and costs by his honor. He
IS working out his fine on the streets.
Harry Heath has put his pet rattle
snake in q strong wire cage, and his
snakeship now amuses himself making
music with his rattles and wickedly
striking at everything that touches his
cage.
We noticed on the south side of Jack
sons ice house yesterday large number
of blind mosquitoes, estimated by Mr..
jackson to be 100000 in number.
They literally covered the entire side of
the house.
The steamer Augusta will lay of her
route for short time in a few days, for
the purpose of putting in new and
larger boiler, which will give her an in
crease of speed of about three miles an
/ hour.
Despite the dull times, Cunneely's sa-
loon enjoys a fine patronage. The good
order always noticeable in this saloon has
as much to do with drawing its large pa
tronage as does its fine appointments and
excellent beverages.
B. J. Grooms has a special this morn
ing, telling Of the bargains to be obtained
at his store. Mr.. Groons has a full
stock Of groceries, canned goods, etc,
and lis bakery is turning out immense
/ quantities of bread, cakes, etc.
/ William F. Forward is determined to
! keep our citizens COOL SO far as ice is
concerned. One schooner is now I'M
/ loading at his dock and another is an
/ chored out in the river, waiting to dis
/ charge a cargo of ice.
The recent heavy rains have practical
/ " caused all building in the city to sus-
pend. So soon as dry weather sets in,
though, the building boom will be re-
sumed, and by the beginning Of next sea-
! son Palatka can furnish room for consid-
cradle more people.
DO cats reason" asks an exchange.
/ Certainly they do. When two or more
happen to meet in the dead hours of
night on the streets of Palatka, they
/ commence to reason right away, and can
make more noise in debate than an aver
/ age political convention.
The NEWS sanctum is now graced
with an engraving ofa birds eye view of
/ Palatka, which has been nicely framed,
and it will be preserved to show as Gu
riosity when contrasted with similar
+ view ten years hence, when Palatka viii
be the largest city in the state.
The shed over the platform at the pas
/ senger depot of the J., T. & K. w. rail
road is progressing as fast as the rain
will permit. When completed, it will be
one of the handsomest sheds IN the state,
and win prove a great convenience to all
! having occasion to be at the depot.
Three sailors from the schooner Hayes
/ Jumped overheard yesterday afternoon
! and swan over to the dock. They re
manned in the water some time. and
showed the people who happened to be
around how much at home they were
| in the water. They can certainly swim
well.
