IN THE GRAHAMviLLE AND CON-

road overseer, Mr.. Priest, has been
the busiest man in Marion county. On
Friday he had the causeway in shape
for travel again, and on that day Mr..
Heineman, the mail carrier, resumed
the Grahamville ferry route to Silver
Springs and Ocala.
Last week the stern wheel steamer
Helen Denham, passed down the river
under her own steam. The Helen Den
ham came from Leesburg and was go
ing to Cedar Keys. Captain Ceusey,
VINO is in command, viii take her to
Jacksonville, thence around Cape Sa-
BILE and up the Gulf of Mexico to Ce-
dar Keys. at which place she will be
used as a tow boat for the Tillman
Mills.
Capt w. H. Carlton, Of Jackson
Vile, came up Monday to visit his
wife and children for few days.
For the past two years Captain
Carlton has been in command of a
tug boat in Jacksonville waters, and
a few days ago he resigned his po-
sition in jacksonville and moved to
Ocala, where he will go into business.
He has bought an interest in the con-
fectionery establishment of Mr.. Nal
Tory Liddon, in the Montezuma block,
and within a few days he will move
his family from Grahamville to Ocala-
While in Ocala last Monday we had
occasion to speak with Mr.. Isaac Ste
vens, and he informed us that he (Mr.
Stevens) and family would go to Sea-
breeze to spend six weeks by the sad
sea waves. while there Mr.. Ste
vens said, my SON, Mr.. S. v. Stevens,
|of Shawnee, Okla, will come down
and spend a month with u.s." For
eight months in 1904, the writer was
with Mr.. VERNE Stevens at Shawnee,
and will probably run over to Sea-
breeze while he is there and give him
the glad hand.
A new departure for grits! The
Boynton correspondence of the Jack
sonville Times Union, in writing Of
the marriage of prominent Boynton
society couple, who were married in
Miami July 2S and who took the even
ing train for Boynton, said: The
happy couple were met at the depot
by the entire village, who showered
them with rice, grits and old shoes"
We now know that grits will stay with
us in the southland.
While. out in the far north and
southwest we had almost forgotten
what grits were-Murphys Irish po-
tatoes) is the diet there.
A letter from Mr.. Thomas j. Ora
