LOCAL GOSSIP
AND PERSONALS
Something About the People Of Titus
vile as They Come and Go

Work on the Rathbun cottage,
which had been stopped for a week
or so, was resumed the first of this
week.
We felt the need of that new ice
factory again this week. We can't
get ice fast enough from adjoining
cities to supply the demand.
Another little daughter arrived at
the home of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. M. Os-
ban early Saturday morning, COM
pleting bright little feminine quar-
tette for them.
Call and see the beautiful line of
Queen Quality oxfords, in all the
latest styles, we call especial atten-
tiOn to the Brown Russia 2 button,
OOze top. Large shipment just ar
rived at Branning's.
Mr.. ]. L. Mobley returned the first
of the week from Micco where he at
tempted to get an artesian well for
Peter Bertelsen, but met with fail
ure. He will drive well for the In
dian River Co., at Clifton next.
A fisherman by the name of Haines
is having a novel floating hOuseboat
built at the city dock. 1t is 11x16
and is floated on top of eight kero-
sene oil barrels. 1t is probable that
four more barrels will have to be put
under the structure to feat it prop
erly. This floating room is intended
to be tOwed from place to place with
a motor fish boat.

New Totafari Mango

DR.. BeSSey, of the state agricultu-
raj experimental station at Miami,
last week sent Mr.. John Z. Beach one
of twelve mangoes of a new variety
that he has grown in four years from
a plant sent him from Washington
that had been imported from India.
This fruit is called the TOtafari man
go. In the presence of few friends
Mr.. Beach cut and examined the
fruit. 1t weighed II ounces, was a
handsome lemon yellow in color, good
shape, being full 4 the base, we'll
rounded and full Lodied. seed long
and slim, flesh light yellow, custardy
and with little fibre, flavor very pleas
ing and spicy. The unanimous YER
dict of those present was that it
would be valuable acquisition to
our mango family and we'll worthy Of
propagation for variety. West Palm

Important Partnership Change

An important change in the part
nership of the Titusville Lumber Co.
was effected last week by the pur-
chasing of Messrs. F. S. and G. C..
Battles interest in the company by
Mr.. Henry Pritchett, of Jacksonville.
The deal had been under consider
alton several days and was effected
last Friday.
The affairs at the mill are going on
just the same and we hope the
MeSsrs. Battle will decide to remain
here as they have made a host of
friends who would regret to have
them leave Ttusville.'
Mr.. Pritchett also has purchased
Mr.. F. S. Battles stock in the Indian
River State bank.

See Nature Take Its Course

A man in Orlando was up before
the mayor a few days ago charged
with the offense of trimming his side
walk trees, which causes the Ocala
Star to remark:
1--WE neither trim our trees
do the city authorities care a tinker'S S
lead if they do it, no matter how
many parasols, umbrellas or ladies'
hats the low dropping limbs snatch
bald headed and ruin. We love to
see nature take its course in Ocala,
no matter who it makes mad"

Fall Work on the Florida Keys

The Key West Citizen has the fol-
lowing to say relative to the recent
visit of F. E. c. railway officials to
that place:
''The arrival of the officials at this
time lends color to the report that
the work on this end of the extension
will begin soon. There would be no
call for visit at this time unless it
was expected to begin the work soon.
The officials refuse to discuss the
matter, though they readily give the
assurance that the road will be COM
pleted shortly"
In speaking of the probability of a
resumption of work in the keys, and
on the terminus at Key West, Mr..
ParrOtt said:
1T is not probable that work along
the keys would be in full swing be-
fore November because of the mos
QuitoeS, but we will have a force of
men at work on this end before the
first of August. This is encourag-
ing news and will add greatly to the
already flOurishing business of the
city -

Lower Court Decision Reversed
Titusville, Florida

Word was received here Monday
afternoon from Tallahassee to the
effect that the supreme court of the
state had reversed the decision made
several months ago in reference to
the spur track having to be rebuilt
to the river at Rockledge by the F. E.
c. Railway company. Mr.. Robbins,
attorney for the company, does not
think the spur will be rebuilt at all.

Lumber Prices Looking Up
Eau Gallie, Fla, July q,

Eau Gallle, Fla, July Il, 1908.
Editor of THE FLORIDA STAB
1t may be of interest to your read
ers to know that at the last meeting
of the Georgia and Florida Sawmill
association their reports showed a
very encouraging outlook for the
lumber operators. Stocks in the
yards throughout the country are
lower than they have ever been
known, and the stocks on hand at the
mills are getting very much depleted.
Planning mill lumber has already
advanced from 81. 90 to $500 per M.
and with the prospect of still further
advance the yards throughout the
country are placing heavy orders.
The outlook in all lines of business
is distinctly encouraging and there is
bound to be strong advance in all
lines between this and winter. Those
intending to build should lose no time
in placing their orders.
Yours truly,
G. f. PADDISON,
Gen'l. Mgr. E. c. L. & S. Co.
