Yesterday afternoon the large force of
painters who have been at work on the
new Putnam House, called on Mr.. j. Fl.
Merryday, foreman of the work, and
much to his surprise and qualification,
presented him with very handsome
gold badge, as a token Of their esteem
for him. Mr.. Merryday was taken
by complete surprise, but managed
to make neat little speach
acknowledging his high apprecia-
ton of the gift. The badge consisted Of
a gold palette, surmounted by an arch
| on which Mr.. Merryday's name is en-
graved, while the palette bears this in
scription: "From your brother painters
of the Putnam, 1885," The badge is the
work of Mr.. Henry Heath, gotten up in
! the most artistic style, and makes an ex-
ceedingly handsome appearance.
| We have received the following in
quiry which we are unable to answer,
and publish this in hopes of getting the
| necessary information that we may re-
| lieve the anxiety of subscriber. If the
lady in question will come to this Office
and make proof that the tight Jennie is
found at last, we will gladly notify our
correspondent. But is it possible that
| the young men of Palatka are so much
absorbed in business that the girls have
| to look elsewhere. Here is the letter,
however, which Jennie is entreated to
answer:

red. While, of course the time has
been too short for the managers to form
