The Palatka daily news. (Palatka, Fla.) 1884-1888, 1886-10-28


very rich harvest of sales If they are not
amassing great amount Of wealth ftrtn
the profits.
During the month OF September there
were manufactured in Florida s, 916.315
cigars, and the receipts at the revenue
office were $40, 74J1 2l. The Key West
cigar factories are working full forces,
turning out nearly 1000, 900 cigars week

vessel from Havana, aud they all appear
to find ready employment.
Yes: erday morning a young ruan
working at the j., T. & X. w. railroad
shops, whose name we did not learn,
had the misfortune to get his hand
caught between the bumpers while coup
ling cars, having it so badly me shed I hat
DIR. Cole had to cut away two of the fin
gers. It was bad hurt, but we hope he
will have a speedy recovery.
We see from the Sanford Journal that
the people of that city are agitated
on the COW nuisance question, and there
| is a good pros pect of the streets being
rid of the presence of the pestIferous
bovines. The Journal has the matter
so much at heart that it lets out its feel
ings in verse, which leads us to remark
| that it is good thing the COWS can't
read, or else they would hook the editor
every time he got on the street for that
| get-off.
! The City Council is right after the saw
! age question, end are determined that
! the people shall decide the question rs to
whether we shall have the system or not,
| themselves. The sici ness of the past
summer, and the filthy condition of the
| town, unavoidable under the existing
! order of things, is sufficient argument
for every voter in the city to cast his
! ballot for the sewers. Palatka is com
PEELED to have sewers, or else take a back
seat aud throw away her best opportu-
mites of becoming the leading CONNER
cial city of the State.
Every little while, writes a correspond
ent, we read in the papers of some one
who has stuck a rusty rail in his foot or
knees or hand, or some other poi ion of
his person, and that lockjaw has resulted
therefrom, of which the patient died.
If every person in the world we3 aware
of perfect remedy for Ell such wounds,
and would apply it, then all such reports
would cease. But although we can give
the remedy, we cannot enforce its appli-
cation. Some will not employ it be-
cause they think it : too simple, others
| will have no faith in it when they read
it, while others often think such wounds
of small account and not worth fussing
over, until it IS too late 10 do any good.
Yet all such wounds can be healed with
out the fatal consequent IS which follow
them. The remedy is simple, almost al
ways at hand, ana can be applied by any
one and what = bett ar, it is infa 'iible.
1t is simply to smoke the wound, or any
wound that is infamed, with wool or
woollen cloth. Twenty minutes in the
smoke of wool wiz Ike the pain out of
the wol5t wound, and repeal 81 once or
twice it will a'lay the worst case of in
Illumination arising from a wound we
ever saw. People may sne sr at the " old
mans remedy" as much as they please,
but when they are afflicted just let them
~ it. 1t hes saved many lives and much
pain, and is worthy of being printed in
le,,ers of gold and put in every home.
