Colonel Boardman returned last night
and is now in the city.
Afresh supply of Berkstresser's g Water
Milr' corn meal at A. NJ. Haughton &
Bros. ct.
So many compliments have been paid
our Weekly lately that we have found |
grace to blush on several occasions.
Mr.. Randall is enjoying hugely his visit |
to Georgia, but thinks there is no place
| like Florida. He will be back tonight.
Hon. A. J. Beach, chairman of orr
Board of County Commissioners, is in |
town, and reports all lovely at San Mateo.
Mr.. John NJ. Ramsaur has returned
from North Carolina and we are glad to
learn that his lady is recovering from her
recent sickness.
In the window of Alderman & Jack
sons drug store is splendid photograph
of Cleveland. His badges and features
are everywhere.
A full realization of the work to be
done during the campaign will bring our
best material to the front. 1t is found in
abundance with the democracy of Put
nam; and we all mean to win.
Mr.. w. J. Webb of Webb s. Nichols,
is at his old stand in Col. Harris building
on Water street, and deals in real estate
winter and summer. His business is too
tot no
The delivery wagons of our merchants
keep the streets lively even in these dull
times. Devereux, Rogero & Son will fill
to-day an order for general assortment
footing up fifteen hundred dollars for one
party.
The new brick store of Capt. Reid is
rapidly growing toward completion, and
we have no doubt Mr.. Barstow will give
us tasty building, It will be near the
NEWS office at the corner of Reid and
Water streets.
Tue Daily Advocate will soon appear
: at Gainesville, and we are ready to vel
come the advent of friend and brother.
1t will do good work and be great gain
to Alachua. May all the favoring gods
bestow good gifts on the baby is the sin
cere wish of the NEWS.
The Advocate complains that in Gaines
, vile when a man or boy is hauled up for
carrying concealed weapons a fine of five
dollars is inflicted, the shooter is return
ed, and the party is loaded for more mis-
chief. Now, in Palatka they are heavily
! fined, sent to Jail Immediately for non
) payment thereof, and the pistol is confis-
}. Gated according to law. Try it down
o your way, brother.
/ Does the shooting of Hughes by Joiner
in Alachua prove that colored voters will
: bulldoze the whites before November
: Then why does the assault at the Jail
q even though Doyle's statement is correct
: prove there is any attempt on the part OF
:. the whites to injure the negroes? Above
all, how is the democracy responsible fol
A the doings of any man? If breach of the
|. law is proved and is still unpublished
J, there will be room for talk; ''outrages'
! are not so readily believed as formerly.
: Many of our exchanges urge the farm.
3 ers TO save their own hay, and declare
the Florida grass is excellent. But the
s trouble is not in the grass, though the
: quality is poor, but in the weather. JUS
a when the flower is falling, our rains sci
: in, and we have three showers per day
for two months. These book farmers
q think because the rain is grateful to then
" it should be good to hay-makers, but
they might know by reading the agricul
tural reports that water ruins hay wher
), partly cured. They must read up if they
would advise farmers to practical pur
pose.
h Mr.. Leonard Baldwin was in the city
f to see us yesterday, and pointed out the
n hole made in the building now Forward:
o ice and grain warehouse by balls from
: the gun boats in 1868. At that time Mr.
Baldwin was in Palatka with Dickinson
i and resisted the landing of the Fedora
d troops The gun boa,s then opened fire
and did the damage referred to, besides
!, sending several solid shot into the Put
nam House and the old Court House
Now we meet the Yankees, but only OF
hospitality intent.
Mr. Baldwin was with Perry in Vir
gipia, and now follows Cleveland anC
