City in the afternoon.
On Monday next Postmaster-Genera
Gresham will arrive in Palatka by the J.
7. & K. w. R. R. His position warrants
the supposition that to our distinguished
visitor and his party suitable attention
will be paid by our citizens, but the com
mittee for that purpose should be in
structed to call his attention to our need
of a postoffice building. Palatka has
heretofore been quietly ignored because
we have no representative in Congress
who has our interest really at heart; the
proposed visit will give our citizens an OPP
portunity to plant a seed that may bear
fruit hereafter.

An Artesian Well That Yields $50

An Artesian Well That Yields $50
Gallons Of Water Per Minute
Yesterday a reporter of THE News,
while strolIing around, dropped into the
place of Mr.. Elwood, whose elegant
house on Madison street is fast nearing
completion. Just back Of the house is
situated the well that is being bored by
Mr.. J. T. Conover. Of this city, that
promises a more abundant flow Of water
than has yet been secured in this section.
The piping of the well is four and a half
inches, inside measure, and has reached
a depth Of something over two hundred
feet, and it is the intention of Mr.. Como
yer to go some ten feet deeper.
The flow from this well is now, we are
informed, about two hundred and fifty
gallons per minute. and when ten feet
more is added. Mr.. Conover could not
tell what the flow would amount to.
The water is as clear as crystal, and
comes up with such force that it can be
carried to any part of the house or prem
ises.
Mr.. Conover has given this well the
name of Jumbo" because. he saws. it is
the biggest thing in the shape of a well
that can be found in this community.
On Friday afternoon the stand pipe was
fixed on, and the water rises twenty-one
feet. It IS thought the flow can be
raised still ten feet higher. The wa
ter is only lmpregnated to a pleasant de-
gree with sulphur, and all concerned are
delighted with the result of Mr.. Como

The task Of the refOrmer is no pleasant
one He who comes without compliment
upon his lips, and simply lifts the veil
from serious faults and COunsels their re-
moval, has no delightful Grand. He
seems like a prophet Of evil, or bird of
bad omen, throwing discord into the
otherwise serene atmosphere of compla-
cency, and his cry, while it startles with
its earnestness, displeases by its variance.
The experience of all acute Observers.
and the teachings of all social history, go
to prove that crime and vice are always
in proportion to the facilities for their
commission.
Temptation stands as a constant incite-
ment to the inward desire - throw off
the reins of contro,, and opportunity in
| creases its power to tenfold degree.
Temptation is a delusive narcotic which
/ lulIs to sleep the watchful guard of CON
science, and renders its presence con
/ tinually less and less repugnant to the
moral sense. The subtlest philosophy as
well as the highest Christianity unite in
/ that clause Of the immortal prayer Lead
us not into temptation. but deliver us
/ from evil and the person or the commu-
nifty that forgets or disobeys it will inevi-
/ tably reap the reward of his thoughtless-
ness or guilt. Men find themselves con
! fronted at every step with the standing
! invitation Come in and drink" Who
can wonder that thousands respond and
enter the pathway which ends in utter
darkness? How many thousands but for
these would have been safe tO-Cay Has
this curse no peril in it for the growing
generations? Do Christian principle and
moral sentiment, and honest citizenship
propose to sleep on and refuse to grapple
with it, while the cry of the ruined goes
daily up to the ear Of God? Verify, the
community which sows the wind shall
reap the fierce whirlwind Of inevitable
retributiOn. While sober manliness has
been sacrificed upon the public altar OF
| drink, the Christian and the moral and
humanity loving citizen, have simply
uIdN IL UutII S'tIlutiIt0 VI SODl llI1ubUCC
about themselves, and taken no deter
mined and concerted action towards the
abatement of either the wholesale cOrrup-
ton of the curse, or the equally whole
sale advisement of it by public sentiment.
Individual cries have been uttered and
individual circumstances died out awak-
enino but feeble response.
The honest heart of the church cannot
longer endure it: the anxious and loving
ly-carefuI heart of the home must rebel,
and the signs Of reaction are to-day APP
parent in every quarter. IF men have
forgotten the olden chivalry which led
them to battle for the cross. for the fire
side and the loved ones, thank heaven
the fireside and the loved ones are yet
left, and in this last extremity have
arisen in their own defence to make
their plea, and shown the lack Of cour-
age and effort Of their natural defenders.
Shall this contest be left to the Chris
tan women to carry on: VIII the old
time defenders come to the rescue?
We cannot doubt The better people
can endure this responsibility no longer
Blood shall not sprinkle their skirts; and
in the name of home and the Lord OF
Hosts. they will come to the rescue.

At the cemetery, on yesterday, the la
dies Of our city brought heaps of flow
ers. kind words and tender thoughts
as offerings too dead. Youth and aboun-
ding life, mature dignity and chas-
tened sorrow bent in reverence
to loving memories of the absent
who are yet with Us in all
holy influences. At such times the
bravery Of the past appeals to every ele-
ment of good in the present. and the love
of the dead lives again to bless and con-
sole.

Sentiment a Poor Reason.

Boston Post DEM.
Sentiment is indeed a very poor reason
for nominating a man for the highest Of
fee in the peoples gift, and a still poorer
reason for electing him. But if it is a
party's only capital, why it must DO the
best it can with it; and certainly on that
single consideration. that one forlorn
hope, Robert Lincoln hugs the pole more
closely than any other man.

A GOOD Short story.
tpesroit Free press.l

Ttis impossible to give o receipt for
the manufacture Of a good story. The
chief Ingredients are handsome girls and
young men Of various grades OF intelli-
eence. As ia the making Of cake, the
way you mix them up has good deal
10 do with the success Of the story.
About the best thing the writer eau do
Is to study the stories that have been
successfui. The best short story
that was ever written in America,
or anywhere else, is probably T. B. Al
drich's ssMargery Daw.v A splend d
story Of an altogether different stamp is
"a Man without a country" by 3. E..
Hale. Frank Stockton is very good at q
short story. srhe Lady and the Tiger
Is an example Of what he can do in that
line. Mrs. Margaret Eytingc writes
about az brisk and breezy short story
as On lady writer anywhere. Charles
Reade was good at short stories, and SO
is Wi,kie Collins. Some Of James
Psyn's short stories are models.
II isa very good thing for the person
who sets out TO tell story to have q
story TO tell.
Every newspaper and magazine is just
yearning Tor some sprigntiy young
writer who can tell good story. As I
: said before, give some thought 10 the
matter--d don't dash it off. Place your
incidents in the best possible manner,
and don't let the interest drag il yon
can help II. Don't use too much
time describing gorgeous sunsets
nor beautiful scenery; get down to
your work, and when you get through
stop. 1t is useless TO try the effect Of
the story on your acquaintances. Those
who like you will consider the story the
best ever written; those who don't will
tell their friends what nonsense II is.
but all will tell you that it is first-rate.
There is too little brutal candor IN this
world. Finally. my brothers, II you
write really good story and 1t Is re-
jected, the loss Is the papers, not yours,
