anu Mrs. ). e. Neal. Mr.. Campbell
is prominent fruit and produce
commission merchant in Plainflield
and is interested in orange grove
property here and on the Manitee
river.
The beautiful home and grove
property of S. w. GOodale on Oak
wood avenue is offered for sale at a
bargain. Mr. Goodale's business is
such as will make it impossible to
return to Florida except for an occa-
sionaI winter visit, and it is for this
reason that he desires to dispose OF
his property interests here. Particu-
lars can be learned by calling on w
A. Russell.
The biggest local deal in real es-
tate so far reported this winter is the
purchase by Mr.. X. Borsen of the
James R. Hill property on Central
avenue, on which the J. w. Miller
store is located. The price paid is
considerably in advance of what was
asked for the property last season
Mr.. Borsen made the purchase sim
| ply as an Investment, and he
may decide to add to its value by
the erection of a five or six room cot
tage for rental.
The work of laying the brick walk
on Central avenue began last Mon
day morning under the supervision
of Mr.. Thurber. The walk between
Prospect and Summit street will be
laid first, and then that between
Park and Market streets. This walk
is the best investment the town has
ever made-and about the only per-
manent one.
Mrs. l.. B. McMeekin, who has re-
sided with Mr.. and Mrs. NJ. H. White
for the past year or more, left last
Friday for her old home in Tallahas-
see, much to the regret of large
circle of friends. Mrs. McMeekin
was anxious to resume her studies
for the work of Il trained nurse with
the view of eventually becoming
head of hospital which she hopes
to have established in Palatka, and
it was for this reason that she felt
that she must leave here.
The first quarterly meeting at the
Grovesdale M. f. church, south, will
be held on Saturday and Sunday,
Jan. 2lst and 22d. Rev. Dr. Fred.
Pasco, the presiding elder, will be
present. At the conference session
last month the old Fruitland cir
cult was re-established as an ap-
pointment, the Volusia charges be-
ing made another appointment. But
up to the present time pastor has
not been found. DR.. Pasco hopes to
be able to announce supply at the
quarterly meeting, if not before.
Mrs. S. B. Shaw announces a spec
ial sale of muslin underwear in this
paper that will have interest for the
ladies in all parts of the peninsula.
The sale embraces all styles of I'M
dergarments, aud every garment is
made in elegant manner. Mrs Shaw
has bought heavily, but believes
that when the ladies see the goods,
examine the quality and prices, it
will prove none to heavy. By buying
in this big quantity she was enabled
to secure bargain, and, in turn,
give them.
Ernest Barber, former popular
citizen of Como, who with his mother
went to Winsted, Conn, a year or
more ago, and who has been suffer-
ing from a dislocated shoulder re-
ceived from fall on the ice las,
March, writes that he is now some-
what better, though still suffering.
Since his fall Mr. Barber has been
under the care of noted specialists
of Hartford. Both Mr.. Barber and
his mother are deeply interested in
all that concerns Crescent City and
Como people, and write that they
watch the columns of the News with
much interest.
r. B. Smith of Long Island, n. Y,
arrived last Friday, accompanied by
his nephew, Mr.. o. d. Burtls, and
both are pleasantly located at Ores
cent Inn for the balance of the win
ter. Mr.. Smith was here during the
two past seasons, but took it into his
head to try California this year.
He and Mr.. Burtis went out there
last November, visiting San Diego,
Los Angeles, Santa Barbara and San
Francisco, but not liking the climate,
came straight to Crescent City. Mr..
Smith has sent home for his dogs
and gun and proposes to enjoy him
self in the woods during the quail
shooting season.
S. w. Goodale, once prominent
orange grower here and former
MAYOR of the town, writes to the edi-
tor from Weldon, a small mining
camp in Arizona, whittier he has
gone to spend the winter in the in
terest of his health. He says: "This
