The waterworks question, which has
been poser to Orlando for the past two
! years, is impossible in the way of solu-

| has had considerable experience in water
| works, is ready to make the city prOpO-
fsition to put in the works provided the
| city will contract to rent and pay for a
given number of hydrants. His plan is
| 10 secure the investment of foreign CAPT
tai, so that the citizens Will be relieved of
| all burdens. He wants simply that suth-
cient MIGRANTS be rented by the city to
partially pay the interest on the invest
ment. This done the company will look
| to the growth OF the city and the con-
| sumption of water by private parties TO
| make It's profit out of the enterprise.
Palatka News: We noticed some of tn g
old "wheel horses" OF the Republican

! terring with one another relative to the
political situation in Putnam county.
! DR.. Cowgirl was OF the number. 1t looks
! as though they were going 10 put ticke {
in the field this fall. They have an idea
that there is trouble in the Democratic
| party, and that they can walk in and take
advantage of it and elect their men; but
! they can find out their mistake by offer
! ing ticket for public support. The
| Democrats can be depended upon to vote
solid against the Republicans every time
| We suppose their ticket is already Sc
| lected, as Cowgirl, Teasdale and Boyd
continue to Fix up things" for that party.
| They are sly lot in convention, but in
| variably "get left" at the polls.

part Of last week neighbOrs thought

among them and was improving place,
was ''acting queer" He gave evidence
of being of unsound mind, but none
thought OF the dreadful sequel to ms
actions. Col. Greene, a prominent real
friend OF MIR. Bivens, went out TO the home
| of the latter, intending to aid him in get
| ting ready for a trip North. After supper
Col. Greene was seated in the room, when
a warning cry from Mrs. Bivens caused
him to look around and leap to his feet
| Just as bIVenS nred on MN with gun,
the buckshot tearing up the chair and
some entering Greene's leg. Bivens then
left the house and directly another report
was heard, aud when the poor mad man
was found he was dead, With his brains
blown out by the second load from his
gun.
