lished hay and grain store on up-Lem-

Capt. A, n. Edwards came up from
Leesburg purposely to bring us one of his
fine cigars, and left yesterday for Jack
sonville and the St. Johns bar. The cigar
was fine one, and we can now under
stand why the captain is always in such
good humor.
Mr.. NJ. Loeb comes to the front this
morning with a new advertisement of
his dry goods and clothing store. He
has a big stock, fresh from the market,
and is determined to sell the goods off

"The Bohemians" is the name of ar
amateur and dramatic club recently or
ganized in Palatka with Mrs. T. G.. But
Ter as president. Some or the best talent
in the city is represented in its member
ship, and during the summer they vii
furnish many entertainments for The
benefit of worthy objects. They viii
soon present popular and thrilling so
ciety drama, to be followed by rip
roaring farce. We predict for the new
club a successful career.

a few weeks among his native hills il

Col. McWilliams thus touches up Pa
latka in his paper, the Nassau Record
"Three million bricks have been used i
Palatka, during the past six months
I These figures represent an outlay of a
least $3.50, 1000, every dollar of whic
+ went to enrich Georgia, and yet With
! five miles of Palatka there is a bed G
8 clay from which equally as good brick
: can be manufactured, with a sufficier
: outlay for proper machinery, and at
cost of 80 per cent. less than paid for tn
Georgia article. Palatka boasts of he
progress and yet we verify believe sh
4 has some citizens who travel with thei
a heads at such an elevation that the
e would tread upon gold watch and nc
e see it."
