Holmes Erwin the well-known
grape grower and wine maker of Po-
mona spent couple of days in Pal
atka this week a guest at tie Arling-
ton hotel. Mr.. Erwin has been in
poor health for the past year and
much of his time has been spent in
travel and at resort towns in the
north with view to rest and recu-
peration. But he does not get well,
and as a consequence has determined
to retire from business. His cele-
brated "Halidon Vineyard" at Po-
mona will therefore be sold.
Mrs. L. P. Lace died at her home
in Interlachen on Wednesday of last
week, and was buried in the Keuka
cemetery the following day. She is
survived by her husband, three chill
dren and sister. The Lace family
moved to Interlachen last May, pur-
chased beautiful home, and it was
their hope that the wife and mother,
then in delicate health, would find
relief in the even climate of this
state. The deceased lady is spoken
of as a charming Christian character,
model wife and mother, and one
whose loss is deplored by the entire
community. Mr.. Lace is quite we'll
known in Palatka by reason of fire.

The small board porch of the kitch-
EN- at the county Jail was on fire
early Wednesday morning and caus-
ed some excitement in that vicinity.
Jesse Hagan was on duty at the Jail
at the time, and it was he who dis
covered the fire and turned in the |
alarm. The Lightning Hose Co. re-
sponded promptly and eXtinquished
the blaze. The fire was caused by the |
carlessness of some one in disposing |
of ashes from the kitchen stove. A
pile of wood was stacked at one end |
of the platform, and it was this that
caught first. Another fire occurred |
at 7 o'clock oil the same morning |
A frame house in Webbville, belong |
ing to Mrs. Douglass and occupied |
by Mr. Wilson, was completely de
stroyed. The household effects of
the family were saved. The loss on
the house is covered by insurance.
A little later a defective flue at a
little cottage on Laurel st. caused a
furry, but the blaze was put out
before much damage resulted.
