Mr. and Mrs. M. L. Helmbach, oil
Duluth, Mimi, arrived here on Friday
last and after spending a day with
Hon. and Mrs. j. H. Harp and day
at Grove Hall, left for other points.
Mr.. and Mrs. Heimbach spent the Win
ter here two or three years ago at
which time they were guests of Mr..
and Mrs. Harp. Mrs. Heimbach is a
sister of Mrs. Tanning of Brooklyn,
N Y, who will be pleasantly remem-
bered by many of our Crescent City

seasons.
]. F. Crutchfield, for the past five
years the popular representative in
FLORIDA Of A. f. Young & Co., the well
known New York fruit commission
house, has rendered his resignation
and has become the state agent for
the Wilson & Toomer fertilizer house
of Jacksonville. The feature of this
change which will not be we'll re-
ceived here is the knowledge that by
making this change Mr.. Crutchfeld
will remove his headquarters from
Crescent City to Lakeland-in fact
he has already done so, having left
for Lakeland last Sunday. Mr..
Crutchfeld will be in Crescent City
frequently hereafter, however, and
has some hope of being able later to
establish his headquarters here.
Mrs. Ira c. Pratt was the honor
guest at a reception rendered her at
the Presbyterian chapel on Monday
afternoon by the Ladies Aid Society.
Mrs. Pratt on Sunday celebrated her
8Oth birthday. 1t was the plan of
the ladies to hold the reception on
Saturday afternoon, but the inclem-
ency of the weather prevented. Mrs.
Pratt is still active despite her years
and is a faithful attendant upon the
services of the church, besides taking
an active interest in the work of the
Ladies' Aid Society. She is greatly
loved by all the ladies of the society,
as we'll as all her neighbors and in
fact all the people of the place whose
fortune it is to know her.
Captain J. R. Slattery, Corps of
Engineers, U. S. A., expressed himself
as much pleased with his visit to
Crescent City. He inspected Haw
creek, with Captain W. M. Miller as
pilot, from Cations landing to its
mouth. He stated there is little
doubt that Congress will appropriate
$4,000 for the improvement of
Dunn's creek and Lake Crescent as
recommended by the board of engin-
GERS and secretary of war. By in
vitation of the president of the board
OF trade Captain Slattery promised,
if possible for him to do SO, to de-
liver a lecture in Crescent City on
what the government is doing in
the way of improving Florida water
ways and harbors. Due notice will
be given in The News of the time
and place of Captain Slattery's lee
ture. The entire public will be in
vited to hear him on this most in
teresting subject.
