two-Story dwelling on Central ave. SC
long occupied by Mr. and Mrs. Kendall.

brick store at the corner of Central ave.
and Prospect Strcet-a new and elegantly
appointed brick building just completed.

liant and beautiful.
Rev. and Mrs. D. D.. Dieffenweirth
and the children left on Monday morn
ing, Mr.. Dieffenweirth going to the
annual conference of his church at
Gainesville, and Mrs. Dieffenweirth
and the children to Largo, where they
will spend some weeks with the PASTORS
parents. OF course it is never known
whether a Methodist pastor will be re-
turned or not, but if the News had a
say it would favor the return of this
young pastor TO Crescent City, where
he has labored one year faithfully and
TO good purpose.
Wallace CIore of the Chicago house
of Crutchfield, Voolfolk & |Clore is
spending a couple of weeks in the state
on business, and it is thought will hard,
ly be able TO resist the temptation to run
in on his old home and friends at CreS-
cent City. II is about nine years since
Mr.. Clore left Crescent City TO go in
TO the commission business, and ii ap.
pears that he has made business record
there fully as enviable as that of a grow
er here and which he put behind him
when he left US. Mr.. Clorc is a Son-in-
law of Rev. DR.. and Mrs. Geo. II. Ward.
A deal was on last week and now
probably closed by which the Exchange
packing house near the junction has
been sold 10 the PittSburg firm OF which
Mr.. Crutchfield is probably best known
locally. The packing house was a
stock concern and was owned by sever.
al gentlemen who originally formed
local organization to cooperate with
the Florida Citrus Exchange. The sale
of the property does not mean the re-
tirement of the Exchange, for that Co
operative organization is stronger here
than ever before.
Mr.. and Mrs w. w. Cary of Western
Massachusetts arrived last week and are
guests at the Turner House for the win
Ter. MIR. and Mrs. Cary were here in
the spring and were SO well pleased
with the place that Mr.. Cary purchased
a large part of the block on Summit
street and known as the Carll block.
1t is his purpose TO induce some friends
from Massachusetts to come here also
and build winter homes and il was with
this idea that he purchased so much
more land than needed for his own.
Mr.. and Mrs. Cary have spent several
winters at Miami.
Rev. DR.. Geo. H. Ward has been at
home this week after an absence of a
month or more at Leesburg, Tarpon
Springs and Brooksville, of the churches
in which places he has been appointed
rector The hard part of this to Ores
cent City people is the fact that it means
that both DR.. and Mrs. Ward will make
their home in one of these places and
that the pleasant social relations which
have existed for more than 70 yearS-25
years of which DR.. Ward was rector of
our Episcopal church-are TO be at least
broken. DR.. and Mrs. Ward
will keep their home and grove here,
and hope to come back for little time
each year. Mrs. Ward, who is lady of
rare and sympathetic social graceS, and
the good influences of whose life have
not been confined to the work OF her
own church, will be greatly missed, as
will her distinguished husband, who as
an ecclcSiastic ranks with the most
scholarly in the land. His long paSto-
rate here and intimate, kindly relations
with the people has made for him
place in the esteem Of Crescent City
citizens which few men are able to gain.
Crescent City has a new, commodiouS
and wcll-arranged posioflice; building
of brick, well.lighted both by day and
night. Postmaster Lounds moved from
the old house into the new last Thurs
day, the 9TH inst, and if he could hear
one-half the nice things that are being
said about him for providing this new,
fine office, well-maybe he would "get
stuck on himself" and perhaps it is just
as well not to repeat any of them here,
but to content ourselves with the state
ment that there are very few towns OF
the class, that have such coy, conve-
nicnt and altogether charming poSIoffice
quarters. This new poStofiice was not
furnished by your "Uncle Samuel; he
doesn't do that sort of thing for small
was furnished by the postmas-
ter himself. Ii is something like a year
