The fine cottage of Mr. Todd on the
heights, overlooking Palatka, is nearly
completed, and is of new design and
unique appearance. The ornamentatiou
is fiorid, the coloring vivid, but the wide
piazza and lofty gables give an airy cool
appearance, well suited to its situation.
1t is in stroug contrast to the buildings
in its neighborhood.
Baldwin & Cochrane, take risks on all
property. They represent some of the
best insurance companies in the country,
and would be glad to show the public their
manner of doing business. Give them
call.
Alderman A. W. Manu-, chairman of
the street committee, has been engaged
in removing the.sidewalks and crossings
ruined by the, fire, and all those in any
way unfit,for use. The, lower part of
Lemon street will also. be graded, and all
our thoroughfares made more attractive.
We hope the council, assoon as possible,
will also take steps to replace our. street
shada-trees.
Last night the corps of engineers who
go out to survey the route for our new
line of railroad, slept on the heights
under tent that they might be prepared
for an early start this morning. The
survey is in competent hands, and the
work will be quickly done. The money
is already provided, and there will be no
halt when the line of march is once
taken. 1t will open up new country,
rich already in orange groves and farm
products, but still more in the possibili-
ties the road will develop, and it will di-
rect a heavy business towards Palatka.

The gallant Colonel Of the Nassau Re
corder thinks Palatka is the most pros
porous place in Florida because the edi-
tor of the Herald bought new buggy
and treated the NEWS reporter to ride.
But what will he say when he learns that
truthful James of the Clabber Club has a
three minute nag, and that the editor of
the News watched his performance yes
terday 1t was the fastest time we have
made since we rode the thoroughbred
Col. MacWilliams brought with him
| from Baltimore. And now the Colonel
must be of the opinion that Palatka is
ready to take the place of Washington
as Capitol of these United States.
