KEUKA AND SURROUNDING

We have delightful weather nova
days.
Our people have commenced making
fall gardens.
Boat houses are bect ming quite
fashionable along the lake.
The handsome and gallant superinten-
dent of the Florida Southern Railway,
the only good looking man in the COM
pany, looked out of the car door the
other day and REMARKED BY rail,
l must stop off, and look this town over
some time fore long, in the near fu-
ture." Good resolution, but you'll for
get it, Cap, you know you Will"
Mrs. Wolf has established first class
laundry. Thus, you see, we are gradu-
ally putting on city airs. A laundry is
blessing in any community and all our
prayers go up for its success. But then,
1t is like running a newspaper. Prayers
go good way, but it takes money to
buy soap. So all should patronize it and
pray, too.
Camp meeting postponed. We had
the shower. Nothing like advertising.
j. d. Teeter is building a long two
story warehouse between his store and
the depot. He is doing some wholesale
business and wants more room.
D. d. Young, formerly from Palatka,
but later from Jacksonville, exchanged
jokes the other day with the writer. He,
Young, has fine grove south of this
place.
Elias Wolf is building nice cottage on
the lots he purchased of Mr.. Lee. Mr..
w. recently sold his grove lot on the lake
for $115 per acre.
The building boom does not flag if the
weather is warm. Mr.. Neher has made
a contract to build large and comforta
BILE boarding house on his delightful
grove lot on the lake. AS Mr.. N. is be-
coming quite celebrated as a chicken
raiser, it will be capital place to board.

of good land with some improvements.
trust all the 1leighbors will aid him to

See here, Mr.. Editor, do you have any
weather? If you do, it's about time to
let up on us little. The mercury has
been up into the nineties plenty long
enough. It, time to stop it.
Iprcsume it is generally known by all
intelligent people that it requires but lit
tie wit for a person to make big fuss.
Yet i may be well to call the attention
IF voar readers to the well-known fact.
Jr Ii communities are sometimes troub-
ri With sporadic cases of Internal cussid-
= ), of gossip, back-biteing, sly inuen-
{ s, disparaging to the good name and
ito of even their most respected
ne sAbors. A more contemplate thing
ca act ne done, aui such action is sure,
e -nt,...i,, - ~aTcuTd to the disgrace of
the goseips. l am sorry to say that this
low-down, mean practice is Il rule. And
strangers who come to these places fall
into the hands of some of their newsy
population and get filled with disgust be-
fore they have time to look about them.
1t does seem strange, for the lGrger por-
ton of the people. almost without excep-
ton are good, nice, honest and well-bc-
haved people, nearly all are well -educa-
ted, and are prospecting as few people
do. Yet, the heaven of malicious slime
and filth that gets mixed in is sufficient
to pregnate the whole batch, creating
such rising of imaginary i'll that be-
comes real by the telling, and producing
very unpleasant results. l hope the flu
ture will see great Improvement in this
respect in the little hamlets of Florida.

A Correction.

Considerable curiosity has been awak-
ened lately by the appearance of certain
placards supposed to be in the interest of
the temperance cause, and some one has
ventured the suggestion that the Wo-
mans Christian Temperance Union
might have chosen this mode of express
ing it's sentiments.
It is, however, proper to state that,
though that body has no objections to
such placards or hand bills as it may
deem suitable, it has not found it neces-
sary to post any, as yet, and has had no
agency, direct or indirect in procuring
or posting the bills in question.
