We notice an unusual quantity of new
growth on the orange trees in the vari-
GUS groves around our city, caused no
doubt by the late splendid showers to-
gether with recent workings. To look
at the magnificent foliage with which
the trees are now clothed, one not a ma
tive could be made to believe that only
six months ago they were leafiess.
Thos. Moore was fined 50 and costs
or ten days in Jail at the mayors court
yesterday MOI ming, the charge against
him being drunk and disorderly. Thos.
Kelly, on a similar charge, was fined 81
and costs or six days on the streets. H..
G. Holcomb, charged with being drunk
and asleep on the street, was fined 81 and
costs or six days on the streets.
Zach Pendleton was shot and killed
while in a difficulty in a saloon at Mic
anopy, Monday night, by DIR. Faust, a
young dentist of that place. Pendleton
is said to have been reckless fellow
when drinking, and has been in several
difficulties. His slayer, DIR. Faust, is a
young Nirginian, we believe, who located
at Micanopy last spring. He has disap-
peared, and no clue as To his whereabouts
has yet been obtained.
The city council of Palatka Heights
met on Tuesday night last, and adopted
a series of ordinances governing this
thriving new corporation. Not single
arrest has been made by the marshal so
far, but as the ordinances are very strin-
gent in regard to shooting within the
limits of the corporation, some of our
hunters will no doubt be hauled up in
short order by that official. Palatka
Heights is an orderly town, and its city
officials will nip every species of disor-
der in the bud. including bird shooting
and target ractice.

The Story of mn Alligator

Yesterday afternoon an alligator
about eight feet in length was noticed
fishing out in front of Capt. Lucas boat
house, when the Capt. got his trusty
rifle out and put two leaden bullets into
his carcass, not killing him, however
Several parties went out in a boat to try
and capture him. but the gator was
a sly old fellow, and as they came up to
him he would make long dive and
evade the lasso which was thrown for
him, finally making his escape.
