The Misses May and Alice Hutch

Miss Estelle Mckenzie of Palatka
arrived on the Crescent last Satur-

weeks here as the guest of her sister,
Mrs. A. b. Appleby.
"Yes, this is hot day." said Mr..
w. S. Pine, of Huntington, in re-
spouse to a Fourth of July greeting,
''but it isn't circumstance to the
heat l encountered at Gettysburg
just 80 years ago today; that was ii
hot day, and there was some real
fireworks"
G. H. Preston left by the early
train Monday for Savannah, where
he is to take the Ocean Steamship
line for New York, to be gone for
about two weeks on business. AS he
does not get away from business very
often it is more than likely that he
will mix some pleasure with his
New York trip.
j. l.. Maull's newly purchased
home on Prospect street has been
thoroughly painted and otherwise
improved, and the grounds about the
house also put in shape. The house
was painted by artist Fred Anderson,
and it is a neat job. Mr.. Maull's
place is now one of the prettiest
homes in town.
There is only one candidate for
County Commissioner from this dis
trict, w. d. Allen of Fruitland. w.
candidacy failed to come to time
with his assessment, through a mis-
understanding, and in consequence
his name will not appear on the
ticket.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. b. Torrey have
rented the S. l.. Benham cottage at
0rmond-by -the-sea, and will spend
several weeks recreating at that
point. They went over to Ormond
by carriage early in the week leaving
here at a very early hour in the
morning. During their absence the
store will be in charge of Mrs. Water
man.
DIR. G. f. Sprague spent Fourth of
July at the Grandin picnic and po-
litical rally, and reports that the
people of that place gave him a very
ENJOYABLE time. The doctor says the
dinner was the finest picnic dinner
he ever sat down to, and was one
that reflected a vast amount of credit
upon the ladies of the section. DR..
Sprague also spent day or two in
Palatka last week.
Mrs. w. B. Clore and her little
children were passengers on the
north bound train Monday last EN-
route to Pittsburg, Pa, where they
will join Mr.. Clore, and make that
city their future home. The depar-
ture of few if any people could cause
such sincere regretin so many Cres-
cent City homes. But the hope is
universal that they will meet with
great success and happiness in their
new home.
Neighbors and friends are sympa-
thizing with David Dawes over the
recent loss, by death, of a valuable
horse. Mr.. Dawes had recently pur-
chased at some considerable expense,
horse that both he and Mrs. Dawes
had grown to be very fond of and the
loss at this time falls with particular
severity upon them. They have lost
horses before, but not through neg
lect or over work, as Mr.. Dawes I'M
derstands horse and always takes
particularly good care of them.
1t is next to impossible to have a
Fourth of July without some acct
dent, but it isn't often that street
COW figures as the unlucky victim,
as was the. case in Crescent City
last week. At an early hour in the
morning OF the Fourth Lloyd Pres
ton and some other boys were down
on Central avenue making the welk-
in ring with good sized toy cannon.
Lloyd had loaded the toy with pow
der and had iammed wadding in
with piece of wood, which he could
not extract. 1t occurred to him that
