Iowa centrars New Work, Between
Grinne'I and Oska loosa, Completed


With good weather and no unfor-
seen mishaps, it is expected that the
new work the Iowa Central has had
under way for the past year and half
between Grnnell and Oskaloosa, will
be completed in about two weeks.
This is the lot of track that has been
causing the company SO much trouble
on account of the big fills or dumps"
that We're made giving way and sliding
when soaked by the heavy rains. A
considerable portion of the work, eX-
cept The ballasting, is completed and
for the past three weeks, since the
company put the steam shovel in the
Clifford gravel pit, the company has
been hauling to the work about ninety
cars OF gravel a day. Work in the pit
will be stopred for a short time Sat
urday, or the first of the week, as the
company has on hand at Grlnnell all
the gravel ii can take care of for
short time. With good weather the
work would have been completed by
now. The last ten days of dry. warm

northbound train has been almost max

still maintained in several places. as
precautions to accidents, aitho the
track could stand faster traffic. Nhen
this work is completed the road and
engineering departments of the Cen
trial win certainly heave sigh OF reiief,
for it is said that of all the "hoodoos

twenty odd miles of track has been the
worst.

ing any alarm over the prospects OF

Base Ball Games.

A team made up of the best young
men of Welaka, Fruitland and Hun
tington engaged the Palatka club in
Il friendly contest at the ball park
last Tuesday afternoon. The attend
ance was good and the spectators
We're rewarded by seeing a clean and
spirited game. The home team won
by a score of 7 to 3.
AT the conclusion of this game the
local negro club engaged the fast
blacks of Jacksonville. In this game
the Palatka club won by a score of
10 to2.
On Wednesday afternoon the above
colored players indulged in their Sec
Ond game. The attendance was large,
and the amusement feature all that
was promised. For many innings the
Jacksonville club seemed to have the
game won. Then it was that the big
Palatka negro Country" stepped to
the plate and knocked the bali to the
fence, letting in three men. ''Coun-
try repeated this later on, knocking
the ball over the fence and letting in
three more scores, which won the
game for the Palatka's by a score of
II to 10.
Next Monday will be white field
day. At ? O'Clock in the afternoon
will occur a game between the Palat-

ANOTHER VIEW OF THE ROAD.

Anent the road which the county
is building at Florahome and which
is spoken of by correspondent Star
kew, the News has received from
that place the protest of citizens
against the use of the present route.
Our last correspondent, who claims
to voice the sentiment of the
majority of the citizens of Flora
home, says that a petition was pre-
sented to the board of county COM
missioners asking that the road be
located, commencing at the end of
the MelrOEe road near Grandin,
thence through Grandin, through
FlorahOme and to haywood on the
south side of the q. S. d f. R'y.
thence to Palatka by the best possi-
BILE route. Our correspondent SAYS
that the names of thirty-siX land
owners backed this proposition. He
further states that this petition was
granted, the preliminary work put
in the hands of commissioners
Strickland and Rogers, and that sur
veyor Watkins came to run the
route with Mr.. Strickland. Then it
was the route on the north side of
the railroad was selected. This
route, the correspondent claims, is
run through three-quarters of mile
of heavy timber, part cypress
swamp, makes several joys, angles
and crooks, and two railroad cross
ings and will cost infinitely more
than the route asked for by the petit
tioners, which, it is stated, is open
nd has only about one-fourth of a
mile of light timber to cut through,

FLORAHOME LETTER.

A wagon road to connect Flora
home with Palatka by the most di-
rect route known is now beng cut
/ through hammock and muck land by
gang of conVicts under charge Of
f. Hagan. The road commences at
| section line No. II and ut the point
of intersection of the properties of
| Messrs. r. s. Mcintyre and Thos. Til
| den each Of whom have given ID feet
along their properties for that pur-
| pose. Another route was surveyed,
but found impractical owing to the
difficulty of getting u safe fOunda-
ton over the muck prairie. The
route chosen being on the north side
of the railroad and near the drain
age canal insures constant drainage
and a good road bed also owing to
| the shallOwnGss of the muck and
narrOwness of the underlying sand.
This road will be great convenience
not only as an outlet by team to Pal
atka, which has been much desired,
but will open up to cultivation all Of
that part of the colony lands lying
east Of section II and north Of the
road. 1t also gives Il more direct
route to the lands lying east OF Flor
ahOme colony, and gives us a more
neighbOrly interest in the welfare of
all who settle between here and Pal
atka. Thus, step by step, the adyan-
tages of a ready communication is
settling the question of profitable in"
vestments i'll land in this part of
Putnam county.
H. G. Pollock and family who for
nearly two years have been gather
ing sheckles from the tomato crop in
the Little River district, have re-
turned to Florahome. 1t is claimed
that the surplus water and insect
pests of that region have made the
SOiourn there neither profitable or
pleasant. Mr.. Pollock owns Il nice
property here and we trust will now
be a permanent resident among us.
Some shipments potatoes, beans,
etc, have been made with fairly
profitable returns. The machinery
for the canning factory has been pur-
chased and in the near future the
FlOrahOme brand of canned fruits
and vegetables will be placed on the
market.
J. J. Charles, our enterprising mer-
chant, has received an appointment
as assistant pOstnastert to the benefit
of all receiving mail at this place.
Some of our colonists are eating
new corn-roasting ears-Irom the
early planting.
H. Calkins and some Others Of our
farmers have u fair showing of or
anges on three year old trees. Should
the winters of the future be as mild
rs that of the past we will have IL
goodly showing of citrus fruits,
enough for home use if not for ship
ment.
Appearances indicate that the
earlier varieties of peaches will be
matured enough to pick the coming
week.
Rev. J. X. Ford, Methodist from
Lake Como, preached Sunday to an
appreciative audience. The presid-
ing elder of this district is to be here
next Sunday May 3lst. The MEM
bers of that church predoninate

All crops are looking we'll. Some
pineapples are fruitlng, while sugar
cane, cotton, sweet and Irish pO-
tatOes and broom corn are promis-
ing good returns for the planting.

Failed TO Appear.

Captains Spencer and Shaw, L. s.
local inspectors of steam vessels
were in the city on Monday for the
purpose of inspecting the steamer
Satilla which is to go into commits
sion on lake Crescent June lst, car
rying the mail between Crescent
City and Omega. The inspectors is
sued the necessary papers which
qualities the steamer for the work.
The inspectors also came to hear a
complaint made by former engineer
Don. Pelling of Georgetown against
Capt. Cone of the Fearless. Pelling
charged that Capt. Cone was run
ming his steamer without Il licensed
engineer, and that the machinery
was i'm an unsafe condition.
Capt. Cone had his boat here and
was ready to answer to the charg' s
but Pelling failed to appear. Men
familiar with the Fearless say that
whether its machinery is safe or not
depends upon the engineer. If he is
an unsafe engineer he would soon
have unsafe machinery. But that
there is nothing wrong with the Fear
less was apparent to the inspectors.
Capt, Cone has both pilots and en-
gineer's papers, and is said to be a
thoroughly competent man. 1t is
thought the charges of Pelling were
instigated through spite At least
they were not sustained by the inves-
tigation and Pelling was not here to
push them as he should have been IL
he were honest,

one has died from an attack of collie or

risk is too great for anyone TO take.
