Considerable trouble is experienced
among our citizens in the attempt TO To-
cate any one particular house or place in
Palatka. Why not as well number the
houses ON various streets now as ut fu-
ture date?
Attention is called to Messrs. II. fl.
Rogero s. Co.'S new advertisement in
this mornings issue of their large and
complete stock of dry goods, etc. They
believe in printers ink, and use it freely.
As natural result they do an immense
business. Give them a call
There is snag directly in the river
channel, about l 900 feet from the north
line of Mr.. f. j. Bugbee's grove, which
will prove dangerous to passing crafts
if not removed shortly. The water at
that point is only eight feet at high tide
and five feet in depth at low.
The pavement ON Front street, oppo-
site the Putnam House, is receiving the
general appreciation of our citizens. 1t
will soon be evident that could Lemon
street, our principal thoroughfare, be
treated in the same manner, that it
would be a step in the right direction.
Give us good streets and sidewalks.
Mr.. ID. E. Mitchell, of Chicago, ship
ped to +. Nickerson & Son, of that city,
yesterday, the largest and best car load
of oranges that was ever shipped from
Palatka to any Western city. 1t con-
tanned 527 boxes every one of which was
bright and strictly fancy, coming from
Kingston and Daytona, ON the east
coast.
Those of our citizens desiring any
HI - g.. -.
ing goods, hosiery, suspenders, collars,
cuffs, or, in fact, anything in the dry
goods way, will do well to seize this OPP
portunity and take advantage of /.
Jacobson's clearing out sale, which runs
until tomorrow evening. This firm
are selling at 20 per cent. lower than the
regular price.
A large quantity of elegant furniture
from Michigan, passed through the city
yesterday, en- route to Crescent City, for
Mr.. III. G. Hubbard, who has nearly COM
pleted one of the most magnificent resi-
dences in the State; Messrs. Eaton &
Hutchinson, of that place, having the
contract. Mr.. Hubbard has recently ar
rived from the North, bringing with him
a happy, smiling bride, and they will, |
presumably, make Crescent City their |
permanent home.
1t is noticeable that the trains on the |
TAMPA and Key West |
Railway, in passing the crossing at the |
Lemon street station, do not always give /
warning of their whereabouts by the |
ringing of the engine bells as they are
required to do by law. Now, this mat
ter should be taken hold of, as only yes
terday we were informed that a citizen
in attempting to pass by, few days
since, did not observe moving passen-
ger train, close Mt hand, and in conse-
quence came very near being run over.
-
do not hesitate to say, after seeing
the many ways Of handling oranges,
that the Mckenzie Apparatus is the best,
by far, of anything have ever seer
