Capt. J. p Grantham. the veteran tax
assessor Of Jefferson county, died Sunday
night, at his home. near WaUkeenah.
Jefferson county loses one of its most
prominent and useful citizens in the death
Of Mr.. Grantham, and one whose hold
upon the confidence of her people and
the loyalty of his friends could not be
broken. Capt. Grantham served as a
lieutenant in company A, First Confeder-
ate Cavalry, through the war, and has
held the Office of tax assessor of jefferson
county continuously since 1876, and had
Just been elected to serve another term Of
two years, making his tenth successful
contest before the people. His intimate
knowledge of the affairs of his office, his
aHability in the discharge of his duties,
and his unflinching fidelity to the Demo
cratic party, made him inVincible, even
when opposed by some Of the very best
citizens of Jefferson county.
Jacksonville Times-Union: The appro-
priation for the st, Johns jetties is al
most exhausted. Only 100000 remains to
be spent, and that will be gone and work
stopped by next February leaving the
Jetties in an unfinished state and liable
TO damage by storms. The st. Johns bar
work was put under continuous contract,
operations to proceed constantly, and so
much to be done per month until the limit
Oh the appropriation was reached. This
limit was in the neighborhood of 81, 400
COO The condition of the jetties at the
present time is this: The north jetty ex-
tends seaward 5000 feet, and is built up
to dow water mark. The south jetty is
the largest, extending out 1000 feet. OF
this, S7C0 feet are built up to high water
mark. The channel runs close along by
the south jetty and has constantly i'm
proved during the last six months, until
now the depth at low tide is IA feet, with
1872 feet at high tide. In the opinion of
the engineers who have given lefty work
close attention, the lee jetty is the one
which does the work. The other acts as
a bulwarE against storms, but does not
prevent the inflow of sand. This Is the
case with the St Johns ietties. Sand will
come in, but it is carried away more rap
idly by the sweep of the current forced
against the lee jetty. Congress meets in
December and it is likely that the infiu-
ence of the board of trade win be
brought to bear in order to secure a suf-
nclent appropriation for the completion
of the work, as the members of that body
are thoroughly alive to the Importance of
deep water. During the storm the jetties
were not damaged. They settled some
what but this was expected to happen
eventually.
