Picnic at SaubIe.

The beautiful hammock at Sauble sta
ton, on the J. 7. & K. w. R. R., pre-
sented a gay scene on last Friday, where
the people of the neighborhood and few
of Palatka's young people had gathered
to enjoy the pleasures of a basket pic
mic. The crowd was good-humored,
everything passed off nicely, and, we are
told, everybody expressed themselves de-
lighted with the pleasures of the day.
Sauble is good place for such gather
ings, being easy of access by water or
rail, and ''mine host is never so happy
as when surrounded by the youth and
beauty Of old Putnam.

PER SONAIS.

Mr. John Ryan, of Baltimore, Md,
made US a pleasant call on yesterday
He represents a type foundry doing an
immense business.
Ex-Gov. George F. Drew, so well
known in Florida as a successful bust
ness man, and in politics for the purity
of his methods and his valuable services
to the Democracy of the State, is in
town to-day. The noble veteran seems
vet strong in body and mind as when he
led our columns in the thickest of the
fight eight years ago.
Among the distinguished visitors now
in town are A. V. Guide, engineer and
contractor, of Atlanta, Ga; and Maj. ?.
w. Oscar Koerner. The latter was Chief
Engineer in the construction of the Fer
nandina and Jacksonville Railroad. He
has not been in Palatla since 1867, and
was astonished at our growth. He called
to see the NEWS, of course, but had been
prepared to view us favorably by the no
tees of our mutual friend, the Fernan-
| dina Mirror. Thanks to both.
| The late agreement between our mer-
chants, according to which the stores
were to be closed at 7 Z. m, was not
signed by Captain Reid, of the Family
! Store, but that gentleman, ever careful
! of the comfort and health Of those in his
employ, observes the same hours since

and their patrons can easily accOmmO-

which is now universal in our town.
1. Mr.. J. K Dick, the agent Of the
Wrought Iron Range Company, met
with painful accident, about two miles
from town, on yesterday. He had
stopped his team and stepped out on the
whiffie-tree, when he was kicked by one
of the mules, which at once started to
run, and dragged the wagon over Mr..
Dick, leaving him senseless. He was
found in this condition by some one
passing, and brought to Graham'S Hotel,
where he now lies. No bones were bro
ken, but the gentleman is much bruised.
Mr. William Charlton, of Richmond
county, n. Y, has been with us during
the whole season, but, to his regret, bu-
| siness cares now call him home. The
gentleman gave us some impressions OF
his stay, and they are quite flattering.
He says our climate impressed him most
favorabIy, being, in his opinion, the fin
est in the world Next, he liked the
people of our section, their character and
habits Then he is perfectly satisfied,
though a Republican, with the workings
Of our State government, 50 far as these
have come under his observation. He
owns a house in West New Brighton,
n. Y, which is valued for purposes OF
taxation at 81, 500. For this he gets $500
per annum rent, and pfys 5000 in taxes.
For the same property, similarly situated
in Palatka, he is confident that he could
get Sc. 900 rent, and his taxes would be
less than $75. Mr.. Charlton is well
known in his section, and his figures can
be relied on. What do the grumblers
think of this

PITTsBUEa, Dec. 20.-The sudden sus-
pension Of the Keystone Bridge works
has been fully explained this morning
by q statement which has been verified
that serious difference of opinion ex-
listed between the stockholders. II is
now known that President Gotlieb and
Secretary and Treasurer Strobe. were
both opposed to the proposed reduction
and resigned, and on Saturday A. b.
Grlthn, OF Chicago, was elected presi

STRIKE.
NEW ORLEANS, Dec. %. - The car
drivers strike continues, causing great
inconvenience to the public, and more
especially to business men on many
lines two or three miles from the city
Up to this hour about dozen cars on
Magazine street are the only ones
that have reached Canal street
from up town. They are sccom-
panied by squads of police.
Early this morning the cars left the up
town car stables, but were met by lot
OF strikers, the cars turned around ana
sent back to the stable. The police
seem to be in sympathy with the stri-
kers, and only inclined to interfere in
cases of personal violence.
THE UNEMPLOYED PERSONS OF ST. LOUIS,
ST. LOUIS, Dec. 29.-The Post Dispatch
this afternoon publishes the result of
canvass of the manufacturing portion of
the city with reference to unemployed
labor. In the territory mentioned $40

ployed a total oil $1,000 men, 2,l90 wo-
men, 2,4l3 bOys-a grand total of 34,7O5
persons. In December of the present
year they are employing 25 1923 men, l,62l
women and 2,090 bows. This shows a
decrease of SLIT men, $40

cern-the Vulcan iron works. The Post
Dispatch estimates that, taking into
consideration this tact, and the area of
the city not canvassed, nearly 5000
persons are out of employment, nearly
all of whom are skilled persons. The
census of 1870 credits st. Louis with
1900 day laborers, and over half OF
these day laborers, it is claimed, are
also idle.

jealous of Galveston. The reverse is
the case. A few years ago Galveston so
largely outr anked Dallas in population
that there was no comment made re-

was not regarded as a wholesaling point,
Galveston claiming the exclusive dis
