CITY NOTES
AFTER THE HONEYMOON.


His hope, his joy, his darling wife.
These fond endearments are all DER,
And though his heart no doubt is true, /
hear those pretty names no more,
For now he calls me, Say there, you"
1t might be safe to say that no rain fell |
in Palatka yesterday.
The last of the Savannah excursiOnists /
left yesterday on their return home.
The Thos. w. Kean Dramatic Associ- /
ton failed to put in an appearance Mon

Palatka Transfer Company have some |
special notices Of interest to the public .
this morning. Read them.
Reports from the watermelon crop so
far have been favorable, and soon the
luscious fruit will be here to bring joy to
some and collie to others.
Mr.. A. D. Thompson, of Savannah, the
manufacturer of Thompson's Roller
Composition, for printers, was in the
city yesterday, and gave us call.
The members Of the st. Georges So
ciety will go on an excursion to-day to
Crescent City, where they will pic mic in
some of the lovely groves about there.
Mr.. E. l.. Patterson was in town yes
terday. He will leave next Monday for
his former home in Barnwell, S. c.,
where he will remain some two months.
The steamer City of Jacksonville car
ried full list of passengers down yes
terday morning, every state room being
occupied and the saloon comfortably
filed,
Capt. J. f. Lucas will resume his
weekly trips with the steamer Princess
to Federal Point, beginning next Satur-
day. If the boat receives sufficient pat
ronage the trips will be kept up perma-
nently.
The Baptist Sunday school will picnic
to-day at Murphy's Island. Prof A. J.
| Wood will be communicating chief, which
is a sufficient guarantee that everything
will pass off nicely and that the day will
be enjoyed by all who attend.
DR.. w. H. Rosenberg's professional
card appears this morning in THE News
He has recently moved to his old stand
in the Kenuerly & Hickman block, and
his rooms are handsomely fitted up with
the latest dental appliances.
Mr.. F. D. Alderman has secured him
a new pet in the shape of rattle snake
five feet seven inches in length. He
chloroformed him yesterday afternoon
and allowed the reporter to give him a
minute examination. He's an ugly
fellow and no mistake.
While excursions are in order,
wouldn't it be good idea to get up a
moonlight excursion on the river? We
know Capt. Bravo and his Anita could
make such q trip very pleasant, and We
hope some one will take the pains to ar
range such an excursion before the moon
wanes.
Messrs. Smith & Crosby have establish
ed cigar factory in the building on
Lemon street, just opposite the Acade
my of the Sacred Heart, where they are
meeting with ready sale for them. The
number of the factory is 154, and it will
be enlarged as the demand for its goods
may grow.
The De Bary-Baya daylight line chang
ed their schedule somewhat yesterday,
the down boat arriving here between
four and five o'clock, in time to connect
with the J. T. & K. w. R. r. train for
Jacksonville. Passengers can now leave
Sanford and arrive in Jacksonville the
same day.
a clone fisherman" was noticed about
the wharves yesterday, and although he
stood to his post from early morn to
dewy eve, no one saw him land a fish or
renew his bait. The fish must have
caught inspiration from the land and
grew too lazy to take the tempting bait
from the hook.
Mr.. J. T. Wills, commissioner, will sell
at the court house on Monday next one
of the most valuable tracts of land i'll
Putnam county. It is fine hammock
land, in good neighborhood and near
the lines of two projected roads Those
seeking good investments would do well
to attend the sale at the ourt-housen next
Monday.
There is a splendid opining in Palatka
for a moneymaking business, and it will
require but small capital to start it.
We mean a first-class bath-house. With
the many artesian wells in the city there
would be no trouble to get all the water
necessary and at but very little expense.
A bath-house, with from fifteen to TWEEN
ty large tubs, where cold or hot baths
could be procured, would not only prove
profitable but quite convenient to large
