Port st. Joe, Fla, Jan. 1s.-Mr.
Joseph Shook Of Centreville, Iowa, is
spending a few days here this week
Mr.. Shook says that he was the first
boy born in the old town Of st. Joe.
He was born in 1888 and lived in St.
Joe until nine years old. His account
of the abandonment of st. Joe differs
from the usually accepted story. He
says that the railroad was built in
1884 from the bay to a point on the
Apalachicola river by an English COM
pany and that this company took q
mortgage upon the slaves of the citi-
zers to secure them.
When this mortgage became due the
citizens ran their slaves into Georgia
and Alabama and defaulted payment
The construction company then
shipped the rolling stock and rails
of the road and left the town without
communication with the river. With
out a railroad the town rapidly died
until at the time he left 1t in 1S47 there
were only a few houses left. Some
were burned; some were moved to
Apalachicola, and some were left for
time to destroy. Mr.. Shocks father
operated a plantation about a mile
from the bay and raised excellent corn,
rice, potatoes and melons. They had q
large grape arbor near the house and
in melon season they would cool the
melons in the well and their custom
ers would sit under the arbor to eat
them. All the farm work was done by
slaves. He says he remembers going
to school, but don't know that they
had a church.
TOWN BANKER SKIPPED.
After the town was far on the down.
grade, the banker appropriated what
money was on deposit and leaving it in
the care Of his wife, fed on vessel.
He was pursued and captured on the
high seas and brought back and forced
to restore the money to it's owners.
His wife had sewed the cash into her
clothing.
AS an example Of the changes which
time brings, the elder Mr.. Shock when
moving from st. Joe in 1S47 sold nine
building lots and a horse and wagon
for $500. The lots in common with
all other adjacent land were later sold
by the state for taxes and finally came
into the hands of the st. Joe Land
Co. They are valued now at $4,000
each.
A STAGE WAS OPERATED.
There was a stage to Apalachicola
on alternate days, the mail being car
rier by river boats from there.
Mr.. Shook goes from her to Mana
tee county to spend the balance of the
winter.
NEW COMPANY INCORPORATED.
The st. Joe Terminal and Dockage
Co. has been incorporated and will
construct a terminal road IL miles
long and also build docks to accom-
modate the growing shipping trade.
The A. n. r. r. Co, is also prepar-
ing to add to their docks, building
them two tracks wider and extending
100 feet out into the bay.

Immediate resignation of the present
Republican County Compittee, com
plete reorganization in each precinct
by new enrolment, and that new
county committee in which the voters
of the county shall have confidence, be
elected, are the demands, embodied in
a strong resolution adopted by the Re.
publican Club of the ninth precinct,
fourth district, at meeting held last
night.
The resolution further calls for
change in the rules of the county com.
mittee, amending them so that in the
future vacancies on the committee will
be filed by elections in the respective
precincts.
Few Precincts Hold Meetings.
But few of the precinct clubs held
meetings. 1t was charged in several
instances that the clubs had not been
notified that meetings were called and
in a few precincts it is said meetings
were not held on the ground that no
good purpose would be served in hold
ing meetings while the present county
committee is in power.
Publication of the announcement that
meetings would be held last night, was
sufficient to draw out caustic comments
on every corner where politicians are
wont to congregate and the converse.
tions as a rule brcathed full hearted re.
bellion toward the present organization
and declarations that only by a new
deal and a square deal could the party
DC assured of success in the future.
