come in. Will has been in at the first
of about everything on the Bay and
just happened to be in at the incep-
ton of the mail service.
An ice cream social will be held on
Mr. Drummond's lawn at st Andrews
on Friday evening, August 7, with
musical entertainment on the piazza.
Proceeds to go toward the NJ. E. par
sonage. All are invited.
j. B. Morrison having been called
home to DeFuniak Springs, his place
in the bank has been taken by John
Milton, III, of Mariana. There are
many here who will miss Jim, and
hope that he may return.
w. L. Cawthon and Mr. Squires left
on the train Saturday morning for
their homes in DeFuniak Springs
Mr. CawthOn stated that it was his
intention to make Panama City
visit again in the near future.
Gardner G.. w. Sutton, whose place
is just north of town, brings in the
first new sweet potatoes. The speci-
mems shown are certainly fine ones,
and show what can be raised in this
line in and about Panama City.
Owing to the upheaval in the mail
service on the bay this week we are
without the usual amount of CORES
pondence. Those who have written
and do not find their items in this
number will know the reason why.
Attorney j. N. Hutchins, of Gov
ingtOn, KY, who has been spending
! some time at st Andrew, and about
the bay, left on the train Tuesday
morning for his home. Mr. Hutchins
was very favorably impressed with
st Andrews Bay.
Ben Hancock, of Sol Kahn & Co.,
Pensacola, has been radiating from
this point all about the bay for the
past few days. Mr. H. is very opti-
miStic as to the business outlook and
especially the business of the firm he
SO able represents.
Our fishermen are putting their
boats and nets in shape preparatory
to commencing the Fall fishing. With
the ice factories in operation, and an
opportunity to ship their catch by
express, they should fare better than
they have heretofore.
The jolly Rover has never missed
a trip, or been seriously delayed
in making its trips since it went
on the Panama, st Andrew, and Mill
vile run. The boat is proving a great
convenience to the public and should
receive its hearty support.
Scattered showers the past week
have helped vegetation back in the
country, and on portions of the bay.
Crops of all kinds are looking well
and promise good yield. Pears are
about all harvested; scuppernOng
grapes plentiful and of good size; and
oranges, grape fruit and lemons look
ing exceptionally well.
The shingles are now going on the
HOgeboom house and it is we'll en-
closed. FORMERS building is about
completed, contractor Brown eX-
pecting to finish it, or nearly so, this
week. He has done some fast work
on that building. Russ Brothers store
is nearly completed, as are the dwell
ing houses of R. l.. Mckenzie.
A. B. Steele, President of the At
lanta q st Andrews Bay r. r. made
a trip on the Manteo this past week
from Mobile to Carrabelle and back
to this point, arriving here late Sun
day evening. The boat got aground
seriously delayed thereby. Mr. Steele
went north on Monday evenings
train.
Neither train arrived last evening,
and up to going to press we are I'M
advised as to the trouble. The need
of the telegraph is plainly in evil
dence on such an occasion. The w.
L. people have the matter in charge
but are slower with the construction
| work than they usually are in hand
/ ling messages, which is something
1 phenomenal in itself.
a. Hogeboom returned on the
Manteo Yesterday morning from a
purchasing trip to Pensacola for his
r firm. He brought back a very full
