very small portion of those work IN and for the
temperance cause. and the great body Of the
workers know who their friends aud who help them

them to become " Prohbltionst,." They know which

summer excursion.

We are 50 accustomed to strange and
beautiful shapes Of vegetation in Florida,
that it is only when these present them
selves in unusual aspects they make the
same impression on us az on our visitors.
But we can all the better appreciate
similitude to nature because her glories
on river and landscape, lone lake and
gloomy forest are spread before us so
often. Even the most careless heart and
familiar sight however will wake to adj
miration Of these aspects of our every
day life artistically spread upon canvas
with all the splendid effects OF our un.
cquaIed skies upon them. Mr.. Perkins,
already well known by his careful work
and fidelity to nature in artistic circles,
has made faithful studies on our river
during the past winter and the results
are seen in some splendid paintings
which seem capable of mitigating the
worst features Of winter in the colder
states, and carrying Florida light and
warmth, tropical luxuriance and glorious
moonlight to make summer in the hou-
SEES of his friends when it is most needed.
One picture just finished brings in the
wilder scenery of swamp and river touch
ed into red radiance by the effect of sun
set on cleaning water and solemn
cypress. Overhead swings an osprey the
robber king of the air, hurrying with
laden talons to his nest amid the swaying
Spanish moss. The winters work of
Mr.. Perkins will do much to convince
others Of the capabilities of art in Flor
ida.

EDITOR PALATEA News:
Our last letter closed with the nara
tive of the successful capture of a sting
ray. On the way home, we met Mr.. P
Cunneely, who had just then brought his
wife and child here-the latter having
been very i'll at Jacksonville recuper-
ate and enjoy the healthy salt water air.
Mr.. Cunneely at once expressed his
readiness to join fishing party for the
next day. In going towards to the plaza
the next morning, Mr. c. and your cor
respondent were met by Mr.. Schneur,
the Curiosity Man. He also expressed
his willingness to share our luck in fish
ing and expose his tender and milky
complexion to the rays Of a tropical sun,
doubled by the reflection of the waters.
We all adjourned to the 'frst-cIass and
one price" establishment of Joseph &
Myerson, where, on stating our inten-
ti0ns, we were fitted out with a pair Of
pants and a calico shirt each, at the i'm
mense sum of one dollar and fifty cents

inches cut off the shortest pair of panta-
looms.

small-about two dozen fish in all. Mr..
Cunneely not only caught the first fish,
but, as he stated, the first one in his life.
We concluded also to go out the next
day, Friday it being a recognized fish
day, anyhow, with a little party in a
sail-boat, to Birds Island, to see what
success we would have in surf fishing fer
sea bass. And very pleasant and jovial
party it was. Messrs. Cunneely, East
man, Saulters and others, fully supplied
with everything that keeps body and
soul together, even ice water, and sailed
in Mr.. Aliens commodious yacht, the

Our Wandering Rrofhers-

The members of the Missouri Press
Association reached Palatka from St.
Augustine via the J. T. &, K. w. R. R.,
at 1920 on yesterday, took dinner at
Graham's and passed the day in violent
attempts to express their admiration of
Palatka. They seem to be highly pleas
ed with what they have seen of Florida,
except that our daily showers of rain
clouded their impressions Of our sunny
state. They left last night for Sanford,
thence to Tampa and then home. We
were glad to meet the gentlemen and
hope many Of them will come again.
