Sanford journal: The old steamer
Fannie Dugan, that has lain in the creek
near Enterprise, across the lake, IS to be
raised. Captain Lee, her former COM
mander, has charge of operations. With
the steamer George N. Bird and a full
wrecking crew, he is now hard at work
pumping her dry. After she is raised
she will be lowed to Jacksonville, new
machinery put in and she will be made
/! a stern wheeler, similar to the welaks
and Everglade, and will be run as a
freight boat.
The Atlanta Journal says in . criticism
of Miss Putnams recent appearance in
| that city: Hers is a performance ap
pealing to the higher seusibilities, and
we think no lover of the ideal in pure
dramatic art can look upon it either un
moved or without being better for the
observance. Her school is nature-lif'
portrayed in all its refnsments. Swee
simplicity, love, Tenderness, friendship
affection, all the ties that bind the hu
man heart one to another in closer ant
more exalted union, are the attributes
developed by this supsrlatively giftec
little women in the acceptations o
character delineated by her. No audi
ence ever left her performance not ele
waited in the humanitiss. not inspired
with nobler purposes, not inspired will
spirit of high resolve, or not more en-
noblsd in the softensd asperitiss of tn
/. sentimental, and therefore the more in
trinsic side Of life, which deals with tn
loftisr emotions Of the human heart
Whether in "Lena, Or Little Barefoot,
she is the same, and her most ardent ad
mirers and critics are at odds as t,
: which shall be given the preference.
