and Mrs Rudolph Kinard, left on Sun
day for the north. Mrs. Sprague accom-
panied her, and will spend the summer
with her sister at her old home in De-
troit, Mich.
Jesse Mccormick shipped some 60
barrels of fine Irish potatoes but the
market was so low in the north that he
quit. He says he will sell what he can
here and LEI the rest rot His potatoes
are large and of fine quality. Potato
growers have made little If any money
this year.
While at the depot on Sunday after
noon Deputy Sheriff C. ]. Hunter es-
pied the negro who some weeks ago
shot and injured Mr.. Jones the mer-
chant at St. Johns Park. He was about
to take the train when Mr.. Hunter took
him in charge. Next day he took the
negro TO Palatka and turned him over
to Sheriff Kennerly.
John A. Hutchinson and family
moved on Tuesday to Welaka for the
summer, where Mr. Hutchinson will be
in charge of the Morris fish house dur
ing the absence of Mr.. Morris in the
north. The fishing interest here closed
for the summer last Saturday, and Mr..
Hutchinson says all have had a most
successful season.
Mcintosh Morrow, who has been in
the habit of spending the summer
months in New York, where he had
employment TO his taste in the store of
Hon. VIM. Ryan, will not 60 north this
summer, but will work in the c. H.
Preston Co. store. He preferred TO stay
at home, and we all prefer TO have him.
He is one of the solid, dependable
young men of the place.
The Turner House will be greatly en-
larged and improved during the present
summer, an improvement made neceS-
sary by its growing patronage. The
house was filled all through the season,
and had to turn people away repeatedly
for lack of accommodations. And the
same will be found necessary next year,
no matter how large the addition.
People who keep hotel and keep it
like the Misses Turner will never want
for patronage.
Mrs. Frank Gautier entertained large
party of young people at her home on
North Park street last Friday night.
Various games were played on the pref
ty lawn and refreshments of strawberry
ice cream and cake were served. The
young people are to meet each Friday
night at the home of some one of the
members for the purpose of good So
cial time.
Fire destroyed tt barn at the home
Of Mr.. A. P. DeWolf on Monday of last
week, together with all its contents, in
Guiding valuable horse, hay, grain,
wagon and spraying machine. The
News could not learn the origin of the
ire nor the total amount of the loss, but |
lid learn that il was heavy and that there
was no insurance. Mr. DeWolf lives |
IN the Como road, and has magnifi-
cent grove and delightful home. Last
winter he was one of the few men in |
his section who lost his entire crop by |
he cold, and that loss was said to be |
ully $4,000. MiSfortuneS certainly did |
lot come singly in his case. He will |
nave in this, as in the first loss, the sin
;ere sympathy of all the people here.
The News has had an interesting letter
rom Mrs Edwin Gilbert, who this
week goes to her home in Georgetown,
conn, from New York. Mrs. Gilbert
ellis of most enjoyable winter spent in
florida, much of the time at Daytona,
tut not the least enjoyable of which was
Ter short visit TO Crescent City where
he met so many old friends. She
tates that if she comes to Florida again
he will spend more time here-provid-
ID we can have better roads. Mrs. Gil
pert brings her automobile with her,
nd she was disappointed in the roads
lereabouts. These roads, however,
will be better by next winter, as the
lard road TO Palatka will likely be com
'leted by that time. The people of
crescent City, all of whom revere Mrs.
Gilbert, will be rejoiced to learn of the
respect of her return to this, her old
winter home.
