'""F, Will arrive shortly FOL
the winter. They come from Micbi-
gan and are acquaintance of Mr.,
A. r. DeWolf. The ladies will prob
ably occupy rooms in the Benbam
flats.
What Crescent City needs lust at
this time is some small, modestly
furnished cottages to rent to winter
visitors A few neat cottages for
this purpose would constitute good
Investment, as they would readily
lind occupants.
Mr.. and Mrs. Pratt of Peoria, ILL.,,
who came here solely in the interests
OF their sons health have been
greatly encouraged. The young
nan is making rapid improvement.
and in a week or two will probably
Greet that he ever was ill. That.
1t least, is the history of most semi
lnyalids, who have come to Crescent
City.
Mr.. and Mrs. II S. DeVeau arrived
early last week and are again Occu-
Dying their beautiful winter home.
Mr.. DeNeau says that he is not going
to work like a nired man in his Or
ange grove this winter, but that he
intends to take things easy and en-
joy life. He is well pleased with the
growth made by his trees the past
summer.
In the recent election Mai. G. G.
Westcott was elected to the office of
Justice Of the Peace for this district.
some votes We're cast for Hon ] II.
Harp, but that gentleman made it
known at the polls that he would not
accept We're he elected. Major
Westcott has the leisure and should
make an excellent justice. He has
served in the same capacity in Ala
bama, and will bring to the dis
charge of the Office some experience.
Patrons of the colored school are
highly pleased with Prof. Jones, the
new teacher, who seems to be taking
hold of the work like an expert.
The frame work of the new school
building has been raised, and the
work of pushing the building to all
early completion will be vigorously
prosecuted. The committee in
charge of the building is going to
need more money, and every one
who can, should contribute some
thing.
Mrs. f. Z, Austin who has but re-
Gently returned from a visit to rrla-
lives in Connecticut and Rhode Is
land states that while in Providence
she saw Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. Hutch
inson and that it was just possible
that they might visit Crescent City
this winter. Mr.. Hutchinson is not
in good health, and feels that the
trip would benefit them both. They
have a host of friends in this place
md surrounding country who hope
they will fully make up their minds
to come.
Mr. and Mrs. Geo. f. Morse OF
Portland, Maine, with their two
daughters, will be here in
10 days or two weeks and will spend
the winter. Mr.. Morse has leased
the Pierpont residence. The young
ladies were here some three years
ago as the guests of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
A. S. Holland, who occupied the
Gilbert cottage on Prospect street.
Mr.. and Mrs. Morse were here the
following winter. The coming of
this pleasant family will afford
much pleasure to our people.
Ira G.. Pratt states that he likes
Crescent City very much, though he
imagines he would enjoy himself
much better if he had something to |
do. Like most western men Mr..
Pratt has led the life strenuous
and the easy going ways of Flor
idians appear strange to him. But
he will gradually accustom himself |
10 them and, if we mistake not, will
come to regard them as quite the
proper caper. Floridians toll and
spin, but they don't work 'steen
hours a day at it-they don't have
20.
The G. H. Preston Co.'S cypress
.ank factory is now fully equipped
with machinery and will in all prob
ability start up in the next few days.
The company is already receiving
orders for tanks, and there seems to
De no reason to doubt that this in
iustry will do its part in the work of
our town. The Preston
is having printed on the
presses of the Palatka News one of
,he most comprehensive catalogues
aver issued by any concern in this
inc, and the book is to be work of
lrt.
Mr.. and Mrs. VIM. G. Norton of
Grove Hall entertained Col. and Mrs.
D. b. Manley and their little daugh-
,er. of Sanford, last week. Col.
who is a member of the
governors military staff, is one of
5he most popular travelling statesmen

vt this point has come to regard
lrescent City as the prettiest natural
