Yes, at long last the ferry ser- vice to Cuba will be inaugurated and in all probablity, spark great activity in Our Town.

Quite a few of the linens here are not expensive at all, and too, if you are looking for those beautifully boxed “gift linen sets’—Pioneer Fabrices, 622 Duval has a fine selection. == Saw conetnereauisl the other eve—swimming shrimp! Had al- ways thought their habitat was near the bottom of the water— tucked in high grass or little coves. However, there were two or three —making like real fish and every now and then, they’d get impatient and hop out of the water and then land—covering more dis- tance that way and getting away from the fish who were real in- terested in shrimp cocktail—native style. g=aSE ee At 917 Simonton Street, you'll find the WAREHOUSE OUTLET and this doesn’t mean that they sell old warehouses here, but they do sell and—GREATLY REDUCED—swell used furni- ture!
