The Key West citizen. [volume] (Key West, Fla.) 1879-current, 1952-09-24

We find that Columbus dis
covered the Virgin Islands this
date in 1893. Now that is right
close to home. Wonder if that
was after the rhyme l used to
know, "In 1892, Columbus sailed
the Ocean Blue" Maybe that
was the very ship he set out on.
Don't know my history too well,
but I'm learning.
The Almanac also says it was
the date of Black Friday in New
York in 1869. Whatever that was.
Must remember to look it up.
Well, whatever, in Key West on
Wednesday "a, 1852 it's time to
60 shopping, even if it won't go
down in history.

right for baked apples anyhow.
There's a new tanginess in the
air to match the tangy smell of

from the trees.

way. Sweetened i'd spiced just

what ii tells you on the box.
Pour the hot filling over the hot
apples. This is a dessert COM
