L. Green is the assignee, and he has a
| notice to all interested in another col

sition in front of the Saratoga Hotel to
| the vacant lot between the First National
| Bank building and Mr.. Shows building
| on Front street, where it will be located

wagons uncoupled and fastened on rear
and front, and the hOnse was pulled
down the street to it's new position.

r.ajnr Mclaughlin. of the St. Johns
ra,iwa>, and Superintendent ". j. Jar
| vis. were IN the city yesterday on bust
ness connected with the extension of
their road to Palatka. We learn that the
| contracts have been let out, and that they
are certain of having their trains run
ming to East Palatka, on TIE opposite
side of the river, within the next sixty
| days. When completed this road will
give an additional Impetus to Palatka's
| growth, and give us prompt and quick
| connection with st. Augustine bes DIES
adding considerably to the value of the
property over on that side of the river
| The new road will receive hearty wei
come, and will no doubt receive a liberal
and paying patronage from our people.
| Kirby street is putting on airs, and has
set herself up as the fastest growing
! street in the city. Two years ago there
| We're but two or three houses on the en-
| tire street, but since that time it has been
divided up into forty and fifty foot lots
and houses of more or less pretensions
have been built along either side of the
street until now there is but Aery few
vacant lots to be noticed. 1t has the adj

deal in value since the improvements
