Mich, friends of Mr.. and Mrs Shat
tuck, arrived fast week and have
rooms with Mrs. James on Market
street.
Mrs. A. A. Calhoun and little dau-
ghter, Elizabeth, who have been visi-
ting relatives and friends here for the
past two weeks, expect to leave for
their home in Mariana, Fla, tomor-
row.
The Spanish tile for the roof OF
C. A. Cheatham's magnificent new
residence has arrived and roofers are
here to place it. This will add much
to the appearance of the house, one
of the finest in all Florida, and which
has been erected at cost of more
than $4,000.
Mr.. and Mrs. A. S. Clay of Virginia
arrived last week accompanied by
their friend, Mrs. Curry, form the
same State. Mrs. Curry has rooms
with Mrs. Wilson on North Prospect
street, but takes her meals with Mrs.

the season.
DR.. 2. Brantley and Mrs. Brantley
with their two little boys
left on Friday for a week end visit
to their old home in Grandin. They
were expected back on Monday. Mrs.
Brantley is daughter of the late
James Fennell, well remembered by
all old citizens of the county as a
man of influence and who used it to
the advantage of his section.
The Ladies Aid Society of the Bap-
fist church will give an entertain
ment at V. l. A. hall next Tuesday
night Feb. 3. Come out and hear
what "Sally Ann thinks of Men" At
the conclusion of the program re-
freshments will be served. The ad-
mission price of 35 cents includes the
entertainment and refreshments.
Surely this is cheap enough. The
News predicts that the hall will be
filed for this entertainment.
Mrs. w. A. Sturdy of Charley,
Mass, arrived last week and will con-
tinue here, it is hoped. The Sturdys
have so far completed their re-mod-
eled dwelling on South Prospect ST.,
that they have moved in, though
there is much to do yet before it
comes up to Capt. Sturdy's eXpecta-
tions. AS soon as the house is COM
pleted it is his purpose to put the
grounds in order and build new fences.
1t will be one of the pretty homes of
the place when completed.
The flame vine which covers the
end of Capt. and Mrs. S. M. La
Bree's home is now at its best and
is as usual calling forth unstinted
admiration from visitors and home
people alike. The full yellow flow
ers on the background of green
which covers the entire street end of
the house and covers an arch in the
grounds, is the most beautiful floral
sight Crescent City has to offer at
this season of the year. There are
two or three other vines of this va
riety in town, but none that are so
situated that they can be seen at all
times.
McCarty's Lawn Party, given at
V. |. A. Hall on Thursday night of
last week was one of the most en-
joyable entertainments of the whole
season, and was before an audience
completely filling the house. George
Stockbridge took the character of
McCarty, and his daughter, young
lady just returned from Paris fin
ishing school was iinpersonated clev-
erly by Miss Anselina Burton. The
entire performance was combination
minstrel, farce comedy and vaude-
vile affair in which any one part rep
resented more in value than the price
of admission. The soloists were Miss
Anselina Burton and C. E. Gutter
idge; the Misses Gutteridge sang a
duet, and all these were heartily en-
cored. C. c. Sullivan always good in
niger arts, excelled himself on this
occasion. DR.. Hardie also made a
good impression as a niger in plan
tation melody, and was so heartily en-
cored that he just had to respond,
and then the audience wasn't salts
fed. Noel Nihoul and Tim Allen
were also ausgacischnecht. Miss Alb
bijean Miller carried a storm of ap-
plause with her as she disappeared
after her reading, and Geo. Stock
bridge and A. c. Wright excelled as
bowery characters and burlesquers.
The entertainment was given in be-
half of the band and will net over
$75, for which the band boys wish
to thank all who contributed to the
success of the entertainment. On
request the performance is to be re-
noo+od ot olya Copoo about +bo 10tb
of February, and the Como people
can prepare for night of enjoyment.
Paul C. Smith has a framed pic
ture in his store showing the men
in groupe who composed the first
town government of Crescent City.
The picture is valuable and certain
ly has interest for all of US who
knew the men and can go back to
that year of 1884. The aldermen in
the picture are: Henry G. Hubbard,
L. S. Willis, F. S. Cone, H. Benham;
DR.. G. F. Sprague is the Mayor,
William Simpson is town clerk and
John Wesley Davis is the town mar
shall. Mr.. Hubbard was long before
his death recognized as one of the
leading entomologists of the country
by the United States government and
for several years he was connected
with the Smithsonian Institute; his
books on citrus insects has become
the standard authority in the agri-
cultural department. L. S. Willis yet
lives in Maine where he is in the
saw mill business, as he was here
at that time. F. S. Cone lives at St
Petersburg, Fla, where he is increas-
ing his already large fortune by spec
ulations. H. Benham is dead, his
death occurring I'M Kentucky some
years ago. DR.. Sprague, the mayor
lived here 10 the time of his 1aath
