guests of Mr.. P. Cunneely.
Mr.. C. A. Walters ''hot Scotches" had
had quite n run during the cold weather,
and after swallowing one and topping it
with one of his imported cigars, one feels
as good as king.
One of the quietest and contest little
over the Idaho saloon. The tables are
new and elegant, and visitors receive
the politest attention.
Don't forget the festival in Harris
Book this evening for the benefit of the
cemetery.
So far this week is has been pretty
quiet outside of the fact that the mer-
chants have been kept busy filling or
ders for goods. But local items have
been distressingly scarce.
The schooner T. II. Livingston, often
seen at the Palatka wharfs, was wrecked
at Metnick Island. near Belfast, Me-, a
few days since. She was owned by
Messrs. Drew, Hazeltine & Livingston,
of Jacksonville, and was uninsured.
The Florida Southern railroad has
about finished filing in the big hollow
| between Water street and their track,
which has been done at great expense,
but the increased value of the property
has fully compensated for the outlay.
Mr.. Geo. NJ. Weston, the travelling
representative of the ST. Augustine Dali
| ly Chronicle and St. Johns Weekly, is in
the city and gave THE News a pleasant
call yesterday afternoon. He says the out
look for his papers is very good, indeed.
Wire-"My complexion is getting
dreadfulIy ford. Doyou think twould
be wrong if I were to take alsenic?''
( Husband-'Well,I dunno" Wife-''It
would give me fair, pale color, would
it not" Husband-"Oh, yes, if You ate
enough ofit.'
Messrs. Nertrees & Co. received five
car loads of freight yesterday, consisting
of cotton seed meal, hay and flour, and
a car load of COWS, sheep and hogs The
cattle have been sold, and among them
were some of the finest mich COWS ever
brought to Florida.
The wharfs of the city present an ami
! mated scene every day on the arrival
! and departure of the many steamers
| that ply our river. There are more
steamers on the river this season than
/ ever before, and all seem to he ding a
good carrying business.
/ Mcssrs. Priddy & Co. have begun the
manufacture of cologne from the flow
ers of this vicinity, and purpose to go
into the business extensively. They al
ready have several brands of their own
make, which will prove q great favorite
with the public when their merits have
been tested.
Work on the gas works is going right
| ahead, and a good portion of the ma
chinery has already been received. In
less than one month the city will be
lighted with gas. and the great improve
ment is to be followed right up with wa
ter works. Verify, Palatka is getting
there with both feet.
Any one looking over the large num-
Der of views our artist. j. G. Mangold,
has for sale, is more puzzled what not
to buy than in any other way. Many of
the views are as beautiful as any we
have seen, and are meeting with large
sales, and the highest praise of all who
see them. Go up and look at them
whether you buy or not, it will do you
good.
