BRICKS.

Have we not drawn our building
materials from Philadelphia long
enough Are we not rash in con
clnding that we have no clay suita-
BILE for brick-making in the vicinity
of Palatka? The best experts Oft
en- fail to make good bricks from
good clay, little carelessness in any
part of the process may ruin whole
kiln. Are we not wrong in think
ing because one attempt has failed
that the fault is in the material :?
Col. Mac Williams was assured that
the clay used by him was good;
may rot his failure be credited to
want of experience in the manufac-
ture rather than lack of proper ma
terial
Some clay unearthed IN laying the
foundation for our gas building was
examined by those who have had
every opportunity of knowing where
of they speak, and declared to be in
every respect equal to that used in
making Philadelphia pressed brick.
Surely the matter is worth inyesti-
cation, and there Is a fortune here
for some practical man. Who Will

GIVE us DRATNAGE.

The excessive rains of the past
few days show the immediate neces-
sity of some system of drainage
which shall include the whole city
in one comprehensive and effective
plan. The work in this direction
done for the new Putnam House
points the way, and all of us see the
necessity. 1t is true the town has
no money at present, it is equally
true that our present council fully
appreciate the necessity and are
alive 10 the danger which our pres
ent situation involves. But even if
we had valid insurance against
disease, the present condition of our
streets and vacant lots is too I'M
slightly to be tolerated much longer.
Palatka has done so much for her
self; the right man has so inyaria-
bly, stepped into every chasm yawn-
ing across the path of our progress,
that we must believe our town will
not much longer suffer for so prime
a necessity. When we have gas to
light brick city we cannot believe
that We shall lack either a decent
school-house or a good system of
drainnmn
