Mr., Louis Atkinson, who has been
SICK for some weeks past, is now i'm
proving to the delight of his many
friends.
The entertainment Civ en- last night
by the German club was without
doubt the social event of the season.
Inc young people came out with their
social appetites we'll sharpened, and
so entered into the pleasures of the
evening with a relish. AS the Or
chestra poured forth its strains they
began two by two to whirI away like
fairies in dreamland. Among those
present were: Prof. VIM. Daniels,
Miss F. Belle Miller of Valdosta, who
was easily the charm Of the evening,
Mr.. and Mrs. j f. Bryant, Mrs. Allen
Franklin, Mrs. II. Stephenson, Mrs.
Floyd, Misses Maggie Mcclure, j.
Hawkins, Ella Baslam of Jacksonville,
Mary Walker, julia Berry, A. Rochard,
Messrs. VIM. Floyd, VIM. Bronson,
w. Douglas, G. E. Allen, r. Polite,
DR.. John Buggs, Jas. Bugs, Misses
LOWE Williams of North Carolina,
Mary Wright, Messrs. Lloyd Dixon,
Jetfreys Anderson,
Deacon Atwater is still in the steve
dore work and has plenty of scnoOners
to unload. Men wanting work un-
loading schooners should call on him.
Guess who the young man was who
took two certain young ladies to the
ice cream parlors, asked them what
they would have, and when they
had gotten what they wanted, he didn't
have the rocks?
The band will carry an excursion to
Fernandina next Monday, the 23d
inst. Come and have a nice time.
Fifty cents the round trip. The baud
boys always have a good time you
know.
st. PauPs A. NJ. +. church will run
an excursion to Jacksonville Monday,
the 30th inst, the last one of the sea-
son. Those who wish to spend good
time in Jacksonville should go with
them.
Now, what is the reason the
churches cannot all unite in one con-
centrated effort in the home mission
work? 1t seems that the First Bap-
tist church is The only one actively
engaged IN this work at present; but,
as we said some time ago, charity is
not sectarian, and should not be so
held. The churches should all come
together in this work. 1t is our opin-
ion that united effort would do
more good than otherwise. Now l
tell you we are needing too lightly
our suffering poor.
There are hundreds of tless
children in this city who have SEEM
ingly no one to care for them. Now,
what must these children ultimately
come to, growing up as they are in
the streets? They can be seen from
morning till night playing and loung-
ing in the streets. These children
ought to be educated, ought to be
cared for; hence the necessity of an
orphans home. Gentlemen, this mat
ter should be pushed. Do not let it
fall to the ground. The citizens
should take an active part in the mat
ter. More anon.
The committee on public works Of
the city has provided to improve the
water fountains in Hanover park. The
one on the west side will be for the
use OF the colored people, while that
on the east side will he reserved for
the whites. 1t IS stated that the one
on the west for colored people will be
nicely arranged, and comfortable
seats placed about it.
