true, If he attempted his little games it that
country. Webb's directory corps finished their
work in this city last week and now have the
copy in the hands of the printer forfheir annual
directory of the principal cities and towns in the
State. Mr. Webb has spared no pains in getting
accurate reports for this work, and from the last
directory issued by him last fall we should judge
that the coming one will be far superior. In his
census of Palatka and Gainesville we have about
twenty five more population than Gainesville.

State with tourists. The transportation lines

or New York for 30 10 IS cents, yet some of them
charge so cents for carrying a box only few
