CITY NOTES.

of summer.
The plain-woven basket that now l am
fain
To swap for the sable and felted new
conner,
Which. hot as an oven, is baking my
brain!
Like poor crofter's thatch on hut Of
Kilkenny,
The breezes of morning crept through
Twas lighter and brighter and cooler
than any,
And cheaper-it cost but quarter in
May!
The head gear of summer, the straw hat
of summer.
loved tit cost but quarter in May
The Florida breezes are putting in their
work now for all they are worth, and
these days are about as pleasant as one
would want to see at this season of the
year.
Mr.. II. p. Bedford, one of the enter
prising merchants of Interlachen, was in
town yesterday. He reports his section
in its usual hopeful and flourishing con-
dition.
So far none of the prisoners who es-
capped faom the county Jail few days
since have been captured, but a sharp
lookout is being kept and some of them
will no doubt be picked up within few
days.
Maj. o. w. Bromwell returned yester-
day afternoon from a flying trip to New
he Inn
ness. lie also talked of the Evanston
camp meeting, the darling of his railroad
heart.
Some one caught Jailer Perry's fine
pointer dog Thursday night and horribly
mutiIated the poor brute. The perpetra-
tor proved himself more of a brute than
was his helpless victim by his cruel and
inhuman act.
Mr.. b. l.. Lilienthal, the well known
furniture man, has recently inaugurated
the installment plan in selling furniture,
thus accommodating a large number of
people, and Frightening up business even
in this dull season
Mrs. NJ. \. Bowers, the popular and
loved teacher of st, Marks Academy,
returned from Massachusetts, yesterday,
where she had spent her summer vaca-
ton, and will resume her school duties
on next Monday, at the opening of the
fall term of the school.
We learn that the concerts given at
Francis are not for the benefit of the
an fnr la Tor foiv nj
of the members of the club of that place
and their personal friends. The public
generally are not invited, as we errone-
ously stated yesterday.
Mr.. Will ID. Randall left yesterday for
Sanford, where he will make his future
home, occupying a responsible position
on the SANFORD Journal. Our "coZ" is
first class ne Sspaper man, and we shall
be disappointed if he does not do good
work and successful business in his new
field.
The hotel registers of the city are
showing gratifying increase of arri-
walls. The ubiquitous commercial tour
list holds his own in the crowd, but the
home-seekers and land-huyers are along
too, and they will prove their faith in
Florida by the liberal investments they
will make during the winter.
y negro, by the name of James Aus
tin, while fooling with little pocket
gun at Martin Davis bar room, yesterday
morning, at about 80 o'clock, accident
ally discharged it, the ball passing
through his right hand. The wound is a
very painful one, but not dangerous,
and, under the management of DIR. p. III.
Strauss, will no doubt soon heal.
We have intended saying it for several
days, and now state that DIR. w. w.
Estes, the popular dentist. is doing a
great deal of work now for his patrons.
He makes speciality of first-class work,
promptly executed, and at most reasona-
BILE prices. He can be found in his office
at all seasons during business hours,
where he is ready to attend the wants of
all in the dental line.
While there is more or less sickness in
town now, it is gratifying to know that
we are not suffering from anything like
an epidemic, and that the ills we have
are orly of the every day kind. That
we have gone through one of the most
trying summers ever experienced here
and still maintained our good health, is a
sufficient evidence that we have one of,
if not the healthiest, locations in the
State.
The hotel men are beginning to arrive
in Florida and to straighten out things
for the coming season. Our own hotels
We're never in better shape, and the Phe-
nix and Carleton House are each doing
a good business now. The Saratoga, we
learn. will be opened in November, the
Putnam in December, in good time to
.,ntch the full tide of winter travel The
