Fire in DeLand.

About 10 o'clock Thursday morning
small building in McDonald's Addition
caught fire, and despite the hard work of
the assembled crowd, the colored Odd
Fellows Hall caught from it and in
very few minutes they were both burned
to the ground.
The small building was owned by Ed.
Mcdonald and occupied by one McCarty.
1t was valued at about 5000 and was in
sured for $1O0. The Odd Fellows Hall
was a new three-s+ory building, valued
at about $500, and was uninsured. By
hard work several buildings in the

Easily Answered.

Hams are only 1134 cents per pound in
DeLand. Here they range from seven
teen to twenty Daytona Messenger.
That's an easy question to answer.
DeLand can afford to sell goods cheaper
than Davtona, because she sells more of
them. While the Daytona merchants
are selling one ham the DeLand mer-
chants will probably sell dozen. And
besides the place is larger and competi-
ton of course greater.

Reorganization of the Aquatic Club
Officers Elected-NeVV Members Adj
mitted-NOteS, Etc.

Pursuant to notice published, meet
ing was held at the residence of Horace
Bateson, Esq, on the 22d inst. to con-
slider the affairs Of the Winnemissett
Aquatic Club. Contrary to expectations,
in view of the hot weather, the drouth
and the consequent heavy condition of
the roads, a gratifying attendance was
present. After couple of hours divided
between bathing and boating, followed
by supper, the meeting was called to or
der, at 80 p. M. with our genial coun-
ty assessor, A. H. Hutchinson, in the
chair and Dr.. Lyon acting as secretary.
Upon motion 1t was deemed more ad-
visable to form new organization than
to rehabilitate the old one. With this
end in view, it was moved, seconded and
carried that. to facilitate the action of the
present meeting, the constitution and by
laws of the old club be adopted, subject
to suspension, amendment at this or any
subsequent regular meeting. The meet
ing then proceeded to elect officers for
the new organization by ballot, with the
following result:
President-Dr. D S. Lyon.
Secretary-Mr. S. Fl. Crates.
Treasurer-Capt. John Donaghy.
Curator-Mr. E. B. Fuller.
It was decided that the regular meet
ings should be held weekly on Wednes-
days at p. M, and that after opportun-
ity for boating, bathing, etc., had beer
given the members, they should take
member contributing a share to the gen.
eral repast, and that the business meet
ing should be held after supper.
The initiation fee and quarterly dues
were made onehalf less than obtained
under the old management.
The property, consisting of boats, bath
ing suits and other articles, were turned
over to the new club and the cash on
hand to the new treasurer. The new or
ganization also become lessees of the
under the old lease.
It was believed conducive to social en-
ioyment to add dramatic and other enter.
talnments to the scope of the organiZa-
tion. A committee of two ladies and one
gentleman was appointed by the chair
with this object in view.
Seven new members were proposed
and elected, viz: Mr. and Mrs. G. F.
Pollard, Mrs. M. A. Mack, Miss Belle
Mack, of Winnemissett; Mr.. and Mrs.
VIM. Weaver, of Lake Helen; Miss Rose
Kremer, of Centreville; Mr.. Dozier
Broome, of DeI.and.
All persons having in their possession
any property of the club are requested to
either return it to Mr.. E. B. Fuller, or
pay the stipulated price for the same to
him. "HoMo."
