Jacksonville Times-Union: A marriage
took place at St. Johns Episcopal church
Tuesday morning that has evidently
something of romantic nature connected
with IL. The contracting parties gave
their names as Russell Ptttman and Miss
May Petit. The groom claimed to be a
conductor on the Florida Central and
Peninsular railroad, and the bride said
she came from London, ENGLAND. on
sunday this same couple registered at
the Placide hotel as Miss NJ Ealand of
81. Paul, Mimi, and Russell Pittman of
Washington, ID. c. Tuesday morning they
went to the Continental. Shortly after
registering, the gentleman went to the
county clerks office and procured a mar
Miss Mary Peut. He returned 10 the
Continental and together the couple went
TO the church, where the marriage cere-
mony was performed by Rev. V. w.
Shields the rector. The young lady said
she was q years of age. and was from
London, England. After the ceremony
Mr.. and Mrs. Pittman returned to the
Continental, where they remained until
the following morning when they left for
Atlanta. No one here appears to know
the bride, or why she should register un-
der one name at the Placide and be mar
ried under another name. The groom has
been known as a fiagman on the Florida
Central and Peninsular railway.

Citizen: The fishing industry in Florida is
in its infancy. The poss bilities that lie in
the business are very great. As a rule,
fishing is at present conducted in a very
primitive way. On the coast in Wakulla
county, from three to five hundred can
vass-covered wagons are sometimes seen,
each occupied by from Two 10 ten persons.
/ They come from neighbOring counties of
/ Florida and the lower counties of
/ Georgia, and their occupants are farmers.
/ They do not leave their homes until cot
/ ton and other crops have been gathered,
/ and II they have any spare room IN their
| wagons they carry a STOCK or home-cured
1 meat, TO be sold while they are on the way
/ TO the fishing rounds AT the town nearest
1 to the fishing grounds they obtain two. or
s saFee b t e S sitEe1 b 6Sg} q
/ from the professional fishermen or cast
/ their own seines. Fishermen sell their
/ catch for a cent for each fish The farm
/ ers and their families then set to work
/ TO clean, score and salt the fish. While
| they are filling a few barrels a week slips
| by very pleasantly, and then they are
| one or two hundred miles distant. When
| they buy and salt more fish than they need
| for the season, they dispose of the surplus
| for cents each to neighbors who have
not had the time or inclination to go to the
| shore.
| consummated in that portion of the state
/ is about being completed in Escambia
county. Several years ago J: M. Tarble
/ was the republican mayor of Pensacola,
/ and subsequently served four years as col
/ lector of the port, under republican ad-
! ministratiOn. He conducted a large livery
/ stable business, and bought large tracts
/ of land in the county. A few years ago he
| sold his stable business and moved to Chi
cago A few days ago he returned, accom-
1 panied by j. M. Garrison, large prppri-
/ etor of creameries; Daniel e. Sherman, a
/ lawyer J. l.. Reed. a real estate opera
| tor, and ID. T. Brown, merchant, all Of
/ Chicago Mr.. Tarble announced that he
had returned to Pensacola to live, and
/ would again engage in business there. The
| other gentlemen, he said, We're on pros
! pecting tour. All of last week the party
was engaged in making a thorough in
! spection of a large body of land owned by
! Mr. Tarble on the shores of Perdido Bay,
about nine miles west of Pensacola
| Wednesday. The announcement was made
! that Mr.. Garrison had closed a trade with
! Col. Tarble for 1000 acres of the land, at
/ so per acre, and that Mr. Sherman would
take one section of the land at the same
| figure 1t was also stated that another
! member had about agreed to take another
! section on the same terms. In addition to
this, Messrs. Garrison and Reed are the
! representatives of a Chicago syndicate
! that is seeking TO colonize in the south
! large number Of German and Scandina-
/ Wan farming families. While looking af-
ter their own transactions these gentle
men have carefully inspected a body of
| land of 10000 acres, also owned by Col.
| Tarble and lying a few miles north of the
! lands purchased by them individually
! They state that this tract embodies all
! 1n orVr he .an1or
| and they have secured an option upon ii
a SO per acre, and will recommend to the
/ syndicate its immediate purchase.
