Nine and dispatches to Daytona, that
the people would welcome our friend, 8.
V. White, at The Ormond," at 80
O'Clock p. IN.
At that hour the building was clean
and fresh in every part. the fires lighted
in the large Queen Anne" and many
other fireplaces throughout the house.
The people of Ormon1 and vicinity began
to arrive at the appointed time, and DIR.
E. s. Churchill, the genial and warm
hearted proprietor, stood in the rotunda
with open hands to receive his guests.
Miss s. A. Churchill, the able, energetic
and efficient, though silent assistant of
her brother, made her presence felt
wherever she moved. At $50 the special
train from Daytona and Holly Hill ar
rived with one hundred or more from
those places. At 3 O'Clock it was esti-
mated that there were over 300 in the
building. The people were requested to
assemble in the large dining room. Mr..
s. V. White was introduced as the hon.
ored guest OF the evening, and although
claiming not to be a sPeech-nlaker we
do not see what he could have said to
please his audience more than what he
did say. Mr.. White said he had travelled
in nearly every State and Territory in
the Union, and he had yet to find a more
beautiful ard attractive location for a
winter resort than that where The Or
mond'' stands He complimented the
young and energetic men, Messrs. Ander-
son & Price, the projectors and builders
of THE Ormond," ON their push and
perseverance.
mime Host Churchill was called for,
| and pleasingly related his experience.
On his way down, he was seasick;
| on his arrival he was homesick, but
after looking about our beautiful town,
| sailing ON our broad river, taking one
look at our lovely peninsula, and a view
| Of our grand old ocean, and meeting so
many friendly faces, he finds he has
/ found home
| Mr.. James Ormond, from whom the
town was named, a resident of Atlanta,
Ga, was next called upon and made
some happy remarks in regard to his
first visit to Ormond ten years ago, and
the kindness he received at the hands of
the boys of the ''old guard. Mr..
| Ormond is seventy-three years old, wa,
a resident here at the breaking out of
thesIndian war in 1882, was uriven out
| by the Indians in 1884, returned as a
volunteer soldier in IS, and was
/ wounded by the Indians at Port Orange.
1t is very interesting to talk to the old
| gentleman, as his memory is unimpared.
Nessrs. Anderson and Price were called
upon for speeches, but said they had
lately been more successful signing
checks than making speeches.
After the speeches the Ornlond orches-
ira was on hand, and the merry dance
was kept up until the special train left
for Daytona with the people from that
place. AT 1 o'clock MIR. s. V. White,
president U. j. White and ladies left
the hotel ON a special train for Rolleston.
Mr.. 8. v. expected to be in Washington,
d. C. the next day at noon.
Ballou Bros. with their steam yacht
brought party from Daytona.

guest to register at the Ormond.
Those present at the reception were in
vited to register, to give the hotel lift;
175, part of those present, did so.

Cassava.

Mr.. III. Z. Anderson, of Mariners
Lake, this county, sends fine specimen
of cassava to THE PALATKA News. 1t
is a root with nine branches, some of
which are over three feet in length, the
whole weighing twenty-five pounds
when taken from the ground.
Mr.. Anderson promises an article ON
the cassava and its uses. He says he has
had more applications for seed than he
can furnish, but that next year he will
be able to deliver almost any amount.

Yesterday up to 3 o'clock 7. d. was
the hottest day of the season here. AT
the dry-dock large number oil men
were forced 10 suspend work. About .
o'clock a heavy wind and rsin-storm
came on and the change IN the tempera-
ture was delicious. The dry-dOcS was
visited by a cyclone, and all the tempo
rary buildings on the shore, such as tool
houses, machine shops, &c, were level
cd or blown TO pieces. Mr.. Simpsons
escaped being blown away by the pres

vas twisted and the mill stopped. A
workman was blown across the dock
and ONLY saved himself from going into
the water by grasping pile. None OF
the machinery was injured and no one
was hurt.

sert that party" The Hater-Ocedn is more
choice in its language than the Cincinnati

any negro who votes the Democratic
ticket is "a crank, fool, sneak, a
brute" or ga rascal" However, the
theory of both papers is the same. They
regard the negro as the slave of the Re-

to look after tho downtroddcn fac
