Prof. c. C. Cochrane, of Alachua will
henceforth make his home in Palatka.
The wire connecting us with Jackson |
vile along the J. T. & K. W. R. R., goes
into operation to-day.
Mr.. RoyBdon has changed his quarters
also, and may now be found at the resi-
dence of Mrs. Miller.
Mr.. Winegars wagon was brought in
yesterday sadly battered as the conse-
quence of the runaway.
The new Putnam is steadily nearing
completion, and promises to fulfill all
the expectations formed of it. 1t will be
ready for guests in November.
We notice that Mr. Webb the real es-
tate man is now on Lemon street. He
will carry business with him wherever
he goes.
Clubs sohuld now be formed all over
the country that the voters may be pre-
pared for the county convention. Or
ganize your clubs, and send particulars
to THE NEWS.
Fine peaches are plentiful in town and
the candidate keeps his friend supplied
That is the only good we have ever seen
come out Of the ''side show" business for
which Senator Mann so porsistently
claims some credit.
The machinery for our ice factory is
being prepared for shipment at Cardenas,
Cuba and will be in place by the middle
of August. The business will be in the
hands Of experienced men who assure us
they have ample capital to make sue
cess of the venture.
We learn from friend that all is
blooming around Fruitland and solid for
Cleveland. w. A. Pine is completing a
handsome house and work will soon
begin on the public school building.
Hon John e. Marshall is still shipping
squashes to Boston and realizes fine
prices.
Already the Indian River county sends
pine-apples to Palatka, and this delicious
| fruit is rarely absent from the windows
Of certain stores in our town. When the
P. & /. r. r., is completed so that we
can have oysters and fish as well as fruits,
| Palatba will be the natural metropolis of
! South Florida.
| It seems that Sir Cecil E. Byrne who
was put in Jail to avail the next term of
| the circuit court on a charge of obtaining
money under false Pretense is utterly I'M
known at the bank in London where he
| claims to have had deposit for years,
and there is little reason now to look for
"his uncle, Sir Thomas Brassey, of the
| yacht Sunbeam"
Our citizens who notice offensive
smells emanating from the streets or
bitches in town would do well to make
immediate complaint and have the mar
shall apply lime or copperas. These
smells are not merely offensive; the air
thus loaded is full of the gel ms of disease,
and we invite sickness by tolerating the
unpleasantness.
Under the influence of constant irriga-
ton made possible by our numerous
Artesian wells, the trees and flowers in
| town are more beautiful than ever before
at this season. Mr.. Kennerly's yard is a
thing of beauty, and at last the possibili-
ty of grassy lawns in town has been de-
monstrated. There will be no complaint
of our white sand in few years.
There was an excursion from Live
Oak and along the line of the Rowland's
Bluff L. R.. which brought to Palatka
on yesterday more than five hundred
visitors. They went up the river to Lake
George and returned to take the after
noon train for home. They expressed
themselves as much pleased with Palatka
and the beauties of the st. Johns, and
were entirely solid for Perry and Marbry.
In the Absence of Judge Vertrees ou1
loco-foco statesman, B. F. Nc Graw has
charge of the clabber club. All members
have been warned to render him full
loyalty and obedience, and our citizens
will know to whom they are indebted for
| a continuation of those blessings they
have heretofore owed to the organization
under the head of Judge Vertrees. Verb
Sap.
We invite attention to the fact that
Devereux Rogero & Son, have been com
PEELED to increase their force to accom-
modate the demands of their business
even during the dull season. We are
only afraid the republicans will think
, their brigade is organized for wal
! purposes, and when the ''Tatooed Man
comes down he will bring Uncle Sam t.
, protect him from the bull-dozers. ''Ler
