Melbourne Times: The announcement
otlNhIEtl bH the WINDOW OF ~ j. hector
store Wednesday morning that Messrs.
Meinhard Bros. e. Co of Savannah had
purchased the entire stock of goods be-
longing to Mr.. Hector. At the same time
appeared a notice from Mr.. Geo. B.
Rpmph Of Titusville that he had purchas-
ed the said stock of goods. Many of us
regret that Mr.. Hector has, on account
of financial depression, been compelled
TO take this step. For the past year col

an honest effort to pull through he has
been forced to take this step in order to
protect his creditors.

hearing before Justice Clarke of South

Melbourne Times: We were informed
Thursday that tho citizens of Eau Gallie
had raised $500 for building the bridge
across Eau Gallie river. which, together
with $500 from the county and $500 from
II. M. Flagler gives them ample capital
to complete the work The bridge will be
a very fine one, and John Green of Sarno
has offered to furnish six high candle
power lights, to light the bridge at night.
We were also informed that Mayor Treut-
Ter has kindly offered to loan the town
money enough to shell the avenue from
the bridge to Eau Gallie dock, an improve
ment which will add greatly to the ad-
vantages of the city. Great harmony
prevails, and now we expect to see our
sister city go ahead with a rush.
