Presbyterian concert tonight.
Attention of our readers is called to
the notice of Mr.. Jas, Hern in the spe
cial column.
Mr.. Pierre Pratt returned to Palatka
last night, after several days absence in
South Florida.
Messrs. A. w. Mann & Co., have sold
twenty-one horses and mules so far this
week, and it hasn't been very good
week for horses either.
Messrs Moragne & Kersting now have
excellent root beer on draught. 1t is a
pleasant beverage, and they will have
frequent calls for it. See special,
Col. R. L. Dancy. Major J. L. Burton
and Mr.. a. J. Beach were in town yes
terday, and they enjoyed each others So
cicty so much that they allowed their
boats to leave them.
Cards have been sent out announcing
the marriage of Mr.. Roht. J. Rifles, one
of our popular young jewelry merchants,
to Miss Marie Cragin, which is to take
place in the Presbyterian church on
Wednesday evening, December I'd.
Mr.. VIM: Charlton, of Long Island,
who spends his winters in Florida, and
has hosts of friends in Palatka, is with
us again, and declares that if the mounds
have any hidden Indian treasures in
them they had better hide out or he will
unearth them.
end now the proud strut of the turkey
gobbler has ended, and tonight Young
America will groan from the effects of
an overloaded stomach of turkey, stuff
fin and cranberry sauce. For the day
of Thanksgiving IS at hand, and much
we have to be thankful for.
Mr.. Frank NJ. Baker, of Addison, n,
Y, general superintendent of the A. &
N. p. Ry., and president of the New
York Firemen's Association, and Mr.. r.
IL. Ramsey, the inventor and patentee of
the Ramsey Railway Transfer, were in
the city yesterday, and gave US pleas
ant call. They are en- route to South
Florida, to look at some lands recently
purchased by them.
The concert to be given by the Pres
byterian choir for the benefit of the
church, will take place in the church
building this evening. An excellent pro-
gramme has been arranged, and the
well known musical talent of the mem
bers of the choir ensures most enjoya-
bic evening to all who attend. The con-
cert is given for worthy object, and we
hope to see large audience present this
evening.
While it was little cold on the river
Tuesday evening, all who went on the
excursion on the steamer DeBary, given
by the Ladies Aid Society of the Metho-
dist church, seemed to have most en-
joyable time, and the ladies realized a
handsome profit from the proceeds.
With warmer weather, there is no doubt
but more than double the number would
have gene, and another excursion will
be given soon, we learn.
Major Washburne, proprietor of the
Saratoga Hotel, has about completed the
refurnishing and overhauling of
that house, and will open it
to-day with a grand Thanksgiving dim
ner. He has trained help for every de-
partment of the hotel, and although this
is his first season in Palatka, his long
hotel experience will insure the popular
ity of the Saratoga, and it will no doubt
be filled with guests throughout the sea-
son.
