Will be an Artistic Job.

The board of county commissioners
have commissioned Mr.. Henis Petermann,
supervisor of registration and a cabinet
maker of artistic temperament and deft
hand, to design and construct the circuit
Judges bench for the new court room.
The bench is TO be made of selected
native woods and in natural finish, and
il is Mr. Petermann'S purpose TO secure
only choice pieces of wood.
Mr. Petermann is capable of executing
this commission in a manner that will
reflect credit on the commissioners for
their selection, and SO as 10 leave a
monument to his own ability as a de
signer and workman. He is finished
artist in wood work. During the past
year Mr.. Petermann has put in his idle
time at the interior decoration of his
own home. 1t was the privilege of the
News to view this latter work only re.
Gently, and it ventures The opinion that
there are few houses in Florida in which
the woods show more artistic selection
and finish.
1t is understood that Mr.. Petermann' S
work will be by the day, rather than by
contract, and having obtained prices,
the board is satisfied that in the Selec-
ton of Mr.. Pctermann it will get better
work and at a much lower cost.

John Crosby's Big Trip.

That the long automobile trip of Mr..
and Mrs. John A. Crosby of San Mateo,
and Mr. and Mrs. c. A. Gowen of Ores
cent City, who left Palatka on the morn
ing of July Fourth in Mr.. Crosby's "E.M.
+. 80" car for Maine, is now at an end is
most probable.
Since the last published letter from
the party at Winston Salem, the News
has had two others, which arrived Sat
urday and Monday, last respectively. In
the first letter, dated at Gettysburg, Pa.
MIR. Gowen tells of a most picturesque
trip through the Blue Ridge mountains
The roads as far as Roanoke were rough
but from that place on the party expected
that all their road troubles would be al
an end.
The second letter was dated from
Kingston on Hudson, 100 miles north Of
New York city, on the 10Th ult., atwhich
place Mr.. and Mrs. Governs daughter,
Louise, is now living, and where they
will remain for time, while Mr.. and
Mrs. Crosby proceeded on their way to
Maine.
The News regrets it has not the space
this week to publish Mr.. Governs in,
tensely interesting letters, filled with
descriptions of scenes along the way.
The party has had its hardships, but that
it has also had its pleasures is evident.
