unfavorable.

Palatka's artesian wells furnish water
to the horses on the streets during this
dry hot weather, and thereby fill a long
felt want. The drivers would scarcely
loose the time necessary to go out Of
town, even when the horses really need
ed it, but they stop often at the watering
places provided at nearly every corner.
1t would do the heart of Bergh good to
see how the poor thirsty animals enjoy
the refreshment.
Grand opening Of the season The
largest and most complete stock in the
city DEyEREUx, RoGERo & Son.
The City Council will let out the pub
lie printing to the lowest responsible
bidder and thereby set an example
which our board of County Commission
ers would do wise to follow. The public
work should be done as cheaply as is
consistent with good work, and, other
things being equal, the lowest bidder
should be given the contract. The bids
for the city printing must be sent in tc
the board at the next meeting, but good
security for the due performance Of the
contract should be required.
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 THEN
manner Of doing business. Give them q

Our mayor is after the dogs, and ON
marshal tells us ne has already sold sew

cause several people have been bitten il
historical times, but we do insist tha
more danger Turks in the loose horse OF
a crowded thoroughfare than in eitheI
dog or COW. The driver Of heavy dray
will leave his horse and walk block
Then some unusual noise startles tht
horse. and he rushes up Lemon stree
with the velocity of cannon ball and I
noise which would disgrace anything
smaller than an avalanche How Ions
will this be thus?
