PLENTY OF WATER.
The Test Of the City Well Shows That It
will Furnish Water Enough for Use.


will Furnish Water Euc ugh for Use.
Several weeks ago the City Council
appointed a committee to test the guam
tity and quality of water in the city well,
the flo wing we'll that wouldn't flow.
This committee employed Mr.. J. T.
Clake to put his engine at the we'll and
to lay lines of pipe from the we'll to the
low lot west of it on the corner of Rich
and Florida avenues, and to the Carroll
ton Hotel reservoirs. The latter line was
to test the strength and capacity of the
pump and the former to test the sup
ply of water.
Everything being in readiness Mr..
Clake commenced to pump early Satur-
day morning and pumped continuously
for twelve hours without lowering the
water in the well. The pump lifted
eighty gallons per minute, making 1890
gallons per hour, or 53, 800 gallons per
day. The water was clear and cool and
strongly impregnated with sulphur and
other minerals.
The test convinced the committee that
the well would supply sufficient water of
fine quality for our city, and the pros
poets are that in very short time De-
Land will have we'll equipped system
of waterworks. The plan proposed is a
simple and effective one, and withal
quite Inexpensive. 1t is proposed to
erect on the city property, near the well,
large tanks on elevated platforms, to
which will be connected the water mains
leading to all parts of the city. These
tanks will be kept full of water from the
pumps at the well which, in case of fire,
can be connecteddirectly to the mains,
thus giving all the pressure necessary to
throw stream cf water over any of our
buildings.

DE LANDS WIPED OUT.
The Enterprise Ball LEAN Annihilates the
DeGand Boys

Rather unexpectedly the Enterprise
ball team swooped down upon our town
Monday, eager for game. DeLand has
no such organization as baseball club,
but nevertheless the remnant of the old
grays-Kurtz, Allen and Gillen-deter-
mined TO give them the best they had,
and picked up a nine, minus one, and
gave the Enterprise boys some trouble
in beating them, but they did it all the
same, and deserve credit, too, for their
team has only just been organized, and
they have had but little practice.
Play was called at 3 o'clock, and al
though the day was cold, windy and dis
agreeable, quite crowd was at the park
to witness the first game of the season.
DeLand had the inns; Kurtz went first
to bat, took base on balls, stole second,
went so third on passed ball and scored
the first run of the game on Fitts' hit to
left field. In the meantime Gillen and
Fudger had struck out. Boston re-
tired the side by fly to
Tom Wells, who captured it neat
ly. Enterprise failed to score in the first
inning, Fallows and Dawson striking out
and Wells sending nice fly to third
base, which Will Fudger neatly de-
youred.
The DeLands kept the lead until the
eighth inning, when they got ratified and
allowed the visitors to score eight runs.
The following is the score in detail:

ARBOR DAY IN VOLUSIA.
HOW THE DAY WAS OBSERVED
IN OUR COUNTY.
superintendent Perkins, Interesting
RepOrt-A Condensed Account of the
Exercises Of the Different Schools.

A few days prior to Arbor Day our eff
cient Superintendent of Public Schools,
Mr.. N. S. G. Perkins, issued circulars to
the teachers throughout the county, re-
questing them to observe Arbor Day in
the usual and impressive manner. That
his request was complied with is shown
by the following report furnished the
press. He says:
Reports from many of the schools in
our county show lively response to
the governors proclamation and the rec
ommendation of the State Superinten-
dent of Schools.
Entering with cheerfulness and en-
thusiasm into the spirit of the day,
teachers, pupils and visitors We'd with
each other TO make it's hours pass not
only pleasantly but profitably. The
teachers searched through all their liter
ary treasures to find items appropriate
to the occasion, land the sweetest thoughts
of our poets we're culled and repeated by
youthful lips. Addresses, music and
songs gave added interest; men gave
their services with will, and ladies as
sisted by their presence and suggestion.
Arbor Day proved that these occasions
were cumulative in their influences. The
growing trees were pruned; stumps and
other unsightly objects seemed out of
place and were removed; the grading
and walks were improved; so taste is
cultivated that will find its best express
sion about our school-rooms and homes.
Thanks are due to our teachers for their
cordial cooperation and early and cheer
fUl reports. Districts that did not own
school buildings or land, were restricted
to indoor exercises, or to planting trees
upon private property.
At the risk of making this article too
long, add few condensed reports.
Daytona improved the grounds, dug
out stumps, filled in low, wet places. saw
palmettoes were cleared out, loads of shell
placed in the graded yards, and seats
fixed among the trees.
DeLand celebrated with songs, recita-
tons and essays suited to the occasion.
One hundred and fifty children patio
ipated in the exercises. AS many trees
were already set, only eleven were plant
ed.
Enterprise, true to her name, planted
eighty-two trees, and kipdled glowing
interest in Arbor Day by recitations from
Lowell, Emerson, Longfellow, Bryant
and Shakespeare.
Eldridge showed up her faith in the
future by clearing the ground and setting
trees to ornament their prospective
school building; every patron was pres
ent.
Hawks Park: Citizens and pupils en-
tered cheerfully and heartily into the
work, removed stumps, cleared the un-
dergrowth, planted oaks, citrus and
palmetto trees, shrubs and roses.
