CITY NOTES.
Jim and Jack are on the track
To try a race with Grover ;
But Jim is lame and Jack's the same,
So Grover will walk over.
Yesterday was a remarkably quiet day
for Saturday.
Sir. Ed. Rumley, of Keuka, was in the
city yesterday.
Capt. W. II. Mcintosh, of the steamer
Mermaid, made us a pleasant call last
night.
Services at the Baptist church at 10 :30
a. m. Sermon by the pastor Rev. Geo.
W. Bower.
"The old man on the othor side" was
fighting mosquitoes and catching trout
up the river 3 ester Jay.
Services in the Methodist church to
morrow as usual. Subject, morning,
"Special Providence."
Cant, A. N. Edwards is in the city, and
is as good-natured and jolly as if the
thermometer was down to twenty.
First Citizen "Why, Jones, how are
j'ou? Glad to see you." Second Citizen
"I am 110 in the shade, thank you ;
how are you?"
It is about as cool in church as any
where else, and the heat is no valid ex
cuse for remaining away from services
this morning and evening.
The police captured some cows Friday
night and had them in pound yesterday
morning ; but they could not succeed in
getting up a case for the mayor's court.
The tug boat R. L. Mayley arrived
yesterday afternoon, and will tow the
schooners Joseph M. Ilaynes and Minnie
andGussie down to Jacksonville to-day.
The guests at Graham's hotel were
treated to clam chowder yesterday at
dinner. Mr. Graham knows how to pre
pare such dishes in the very best manner.
Lake City is bragging on a forty-pound
watermelon. Palatka stepped to the
front some time ago with a 79 pound
melon, and the balance of Putnam coun
ty is yet to be heard from.
The eleven-year-old son of Mr. W. II.
Harwood, who lives at Nashua, died
Friday night, after a lingering illness, of
typhoid fever. The body was interred at
that place yesterday afternoon.
A party of young men chartered the
steamer Pi mcess and left last night for
the St. John bar, where they will spend
today enjoying the sea breeze and salt
water baths. Sorry we can't lo along.
A good crowd will doubtless go on the
excursion, over the Jacksonville, Tampa
and Key West railroad this morning
for Fernandina, Tho train will leave at
7 o'clock, and the excursionists will have
five and a half hours in Fernandina.
A little excitement was created on
Lsmon street last night, by a policeman
arresting a negro woman, when a crowd
of negro men interferred and took the
woman from the officer. From what our
reporter heard it was all about a wash
bill.
We regret to announce the death of
the infant son of Mr. and Mrs William
A. Evans, which occurred at Federal
Point on Friday night. The child was
alxmt nine months old, .and was buried
from the Episcopal church in this city
yesterday morning at 11 o'clock.
We learn that tho steamship City of
Norfolk has been purchased by the
Charleston line, and will run weekly
trips front this city to Charleston, via
Savannah. She will run in connection
with the City of Palatini, and will give
this city quick and cheap freight rates
over that line.
L. Meyer is determined Palatka and
vicinity shall be well painted, even
though he never attempts to "paint the
town red." lie received yesterday the
largest shipment of all kinds of paints
ever brought to Palatka, and he wants
the people who have use for it to call
around and look, at the stock.
E. W. Green & Bro. have recently
purchased the stock of B. G. Lasseter, at
the corner of Inuon and Third streets,
and have added their stock to the busi
ness. They advertise goods at low prices
this morning, and it is their intention to
do a lively trade in fancy and family
groceries. See their advertisement.
There is no discount on the small boy
and the young "coon" using every
means to keep cool during this summer
solstice. They jostle each other in their
efforts to get the pieces of ice that is
thrown out of the schooners when their
cargo is discharged. The little fellows
carry the ice off in baskets, bags or tied
up with strings, and seem as happy as a
lob-taikxl horse in fly time, when suck
ing the cooling crystal.
A Nuisance.
The citizens living along the river front
near the Cove are bitterly complaining
because of the stench arising from the
decaying carcasses of the two horses
drowned at the wharf here the other day.
The carcasses were towed down and tied
to a stake near enough to the houses in
that neighborhood to make it uncomfort-
; ablo fur tho inmates. We were informed
j vt.storjav that several families had to
j kot1 their house closed up during this
j hul wcatUer ou account of them. The
; attt,nt;a of the proper authorities is
j ... this .....since, and it is to 1.
honed the carcasses will le removed
right away.
When so much effort is being made to
put the city in good sanitary condition,
it is dangerous to allow disease-producing
nuisances to lie at our very doors,
aside from the discomfort caused by the
stench infected atmosphere.
St. George's Society.
The Englishmen in and around Palatka
propose to form, at as early a date as
possible, a St. George's society. The
fraternity is very strong in America, and
new societies are constantly being
formed in all the cities, and the English
men at Palatka do not propoae to be be
hind theiir brothors in this respect. Due
notice will be given of the call for the
formation of the society.
For Welshton.
Captain Welsh has invited a number of
his friends to spend the day with him at
Welshton, the new town on the Florida
Southern railroad, on next Wednesday,
and a train will leave this city at 7
o'clock that morning to carry the gentle
men over. The captain will give his
guesl3 a good dinner, and show them the
beauties and advantages of the growing
town at Welshton. The News will try
to have a representative along to tell of
the doings of ths day.
A Card.
The undersigned and family desire to
express very earnest thanks to the
friends who assisted by many kind acts
during their recent affliction and sad be
reavement. The remembrance that it
was not old friends and long-time acquain
tances, but the gentle hands and kind
voices of strangers, impresses very deep
ly, and greatly enlarges their apprecia
tion of the kindnesses bestowed. Very
touching was the sight of the elegant
flowers arranged in beautiful designs;
the generous donor of these, with the
others, will ever be held in grateful re
membrance. Very respectfully,
J. W. McLavry.
A Presentation.
Yesterday morning, when Capt. R. R.
Reid entered his office in his store, he
was surprised by finding a handsome
and comfortable arm chair that had
heen placed there by his clerical force.
A card attached to the chair read :
"Compliments of E. S. Neck, S. E.
Bond, J. R. Neck and Joseph Courier to
Capt. R. R. Reid."
The occasion that brought forth the
gift was the sixtieth birthday of Capt.
Reid. The captain fully appreciated
the thoughtful gift from "his boys,"
and expressed to , them his grateful
thanks.
The long years Captain Reid has
passed through sit lightly on him, and
to-day he is fuller of life and energy
than most men his junior. The News
congratulates liim on reaching his three
score years so gracefully, and wishes
that he may live far Ijeyond the allotted
years of man, to shed the sunshine of
his genial nature among his fellow men.
CONTRIBUTOR'S OBSERVATION.
An Old Citizen in the Role of a New
Reporter.
The following items have been kindly
handed The News for publication :
Some of the plank sidewalks alout the
city are in a dangerous condition. A
broken leg or some other serious injury
to a citizen, may, in a suit for damages,
result in a heavy expense to the city
council.
A statement of the financial condition
of the county of Putnam by the board of
county commissioners, would by looked
over by tho citizens with a great deal of
interest. A great deal of gratitude and
praise is due to tho board for the master
ly and superior management of the af
fairs of the county for the past two or
three years.
There seems to be a lull in the many
suggested enterprises of last winter. G is
works, water works, saw-mills, planing
mills, furniture factories, ice factories;
machine shops, etc., are dropped for the
hot season, to le revived again when
the impulse of new-comers and visitors
from abroad stimulate the activity and
eradicate the present lethargy of our
really enterprising business men.
One of the most direct ways to increase
the revenue or the city, is for the
council to open out the streets leading
to the southern and western lines
of the corporate limits. As an exem
plification of this, the improvement of
Kirby street a few years ago, by the city
council, now adds to the taxable proper
ty of the city about $15,000, with a pros
pect of leing double that amount sewn.
The expense of clearing out Emmett,
Hawkins, Lemon, Orange streets and
some others would be very small, com
pared to the perpetual increase of revenue
that would result to our Gem City, at
once. You cannot encourage the erec
tion of fine and costly dwellings on
streets now growing up in palmetto
and sorub and unfit for travel, which ol
struct many outlets to the city. There
are only two or three streets which pre
sent a drive way to the country.
Francis Gal ton, who has been investi
gating the heredity of genius, concludes
that the brain of a child naturally tends
to develop the faculties, more or less
equally commingled, of both its parents.
This general rule is, however, modified in
the first place by the superiority of one
pex over the other. In some fnrailies
the influence of the father's intellect, or
want of intellect, is conspicuous in all
the children, and prevails altogether
over that of the mother. In other fami
lies the positions are reversed, and in
many instances some of the children re
semble one parent and some the other.
Sometimes they are like neither parent,
but an uncle, aunt or some other col
lateral relative.
A correspondent describes Sirs. Oscar
Wilde as a somewhat timid, rather pret
ty little body.
Well Qualified for the Business.
N. Y. Sun.
" So you would like to become a black
smith, would you ?" he said to a little
barefoot boy, as he stopped blowing the
bellows for a moment.
" Yes, sir," the boy replied, " I would
like to learn the trade."
" Are you strong and healthy?"
"Yes, sir."
"And quick? I wouldn't have a boy
around who wasn't quick."
" Yes I'm quick."
Here the boy stepped with his bare foot
on a hot horseshoe, and the blacksmith
remarked :
"Well, I guess I'll give you a trial.
You seem to be one of the quickest little
Ijovs I ever saw."
Mr. Walton, the "plunger" of the
turf, was lucky enough to win $25,000 at
tho Monmouth races on Saturday.
Dogs, Ueware !
On and after August 1st, 1884, the dog
ordinance will be enforced. One dollar
