tween Palatka and Crescent City, by
way of San Mateo and Dunn's Creek

part of the dinner bill of fare until
Christmas.

Mr.. M. H. Read assures the News that
he has the money in hand TO pay all the
expense of the opening up OF the street
through the Williams grove to connect
the west side OF the town with the new
hard surface road to Seville. Not only
has the money to pay for the roadway
been raised, but enough for the fencing
and gates, all of which has been ordered
1t seems strange that any body could be
found in Crescent City TO "knock" this
project, yet certain few narrow mind
ed men here have been doing that very
thing ever since the project was sprung
The road will be a great saving to many
and simply affords one more direct en-
trance into the town. 1t is benefit 10
the entire place. You can't hurt one
man in Crescent City without indirectly
hurting all, and every individual bene
If oets indirect distribution to all. But
perhaps it would be too much ike Inc
millennium were the people OF the town
to agree not to disagree, or at least to
"ouit knocking" one another.
