Trials of an Amateur Photo-
graper.
Not long since a party of ladies and
gentlemen from one of the most popu
lar houses in the city, went to St Au
gustine. One of the lady members of
the party is an enthusiastic amatuer
photographer, and while she was in
old Port Marion with her friends she
decided she would take a lew pictures
to show to her friends in her far off
northern home. It is a violation of
the United States statutes to take
photographs inside the tort, and a con
spicuous notice posted on the walls
warns the public, and lays particular
strain on the penally of $500 which is
attached to each offense of the kind,
Seyc ral of the party called the young
lady's attention tc the notice, but she
said she did not Delieve any one would
trouble her.
Directly a huge soldier walked up
to where she was at work, and after
giving the salute, told her that she had
committed a very grave offense, and
that his instructions made it necessary
for him to destroy her instruments.
With tears in her eyes and almost
in her voice she gave up the camera
and pleaded fot forgiveness. It seems
that the soldier entered into the spirit
of the occasion for he preserved a
rigid face and his voice gave no indi
cation of relenting.
After the party had finished the
tour of the fort he gave the lady her
instrument with many admonitions not
to offend again, and only reserved
the right to destroy the negatives she
had talcen. It is safe to say that the
love of photography, in one fair bosom
I at least, has been quenched.
In Real Estate Circles
The past week has been one of
great activity in real estate circles.
The sale of the Alaclntyre property,
of which mention was made Friday
morning, heads the list ot any ever
made in this section. It is hard to
over estimate the advantage that will
follow the improvements that will be
made on ihe property by Air. J. Wy
man Jones. With a park, circular
drives and the fine residences that will
take the place of the fine forest that
now covers almost the entire area of
the purchase, it will be the most
charming of all our suburbs.
SALE OF MAGNOLIA I’ARK.
Mess. Fearn & Love sold yesterday
"Magnolia l’ark.” beyond Magnolia
Place, to Mr. Hugh N. Gamp of New
York. The purchase includes 12 1-2
acres, and it would be hard to find a
more beautiful place; almost the whole
of it is covered with a magnificent
growth of magnolias, oak and other
hard wood timber mixed with pine.
Mr. Camp will improve his purchase
during the coming summer, he .will
build a handsome residence and im
prove and beautify the park.
Mess. Fearn & Love have also sold
five acres on Love street to a wealthy
gentleman, that will handsomely im
prove his purchase.
THE GUARDS ARMORY.
Mr. E. M. Mallette has sold the lot
and residence of Dr. John Coyle, cor
ner Jackson and Crawford streets, to
the Guards, as a site for an armory.
The lot is a very eligible one and wi
make a fine site lor an armory. As
the Times-Enterpki.se has already
repeatedly said ihe citizens ought to
tend all the assistance in their power
to the Guards and thereby help them
to secure a permanent home.
THE WHI DIJON HOUSE SOLD.
Not the least important of the real
es'ato transaction of the past week was
the purchase of the V. h'ddon House,
thcWliiddon stables,stock and vehicles,
by Mr. W. H. Mitchell. I'he Whid
don House is 1 model small hotel; its
location, immediatly facing the spa
cious Piney Woods Hotel grounds,
makes it very desirable properly, and
its southern frontage adds an addition
al value. It has been a very popular
stopping place with tourists, and ihe
traveling public generally, dur»ng the
two seasons it has been open.
It is a significant fact that among the
real estate transactions we have noted
as having transpired during the week,
several have been lo our home people,
which goes to show the confidence
our own people ftel in the future of
the town.
MORE SALES ON THE T APIS.
11 will not be supposed that all of ihe
sales for the season are over. There
are several more on the lapis and we
expect to be called on lo chronicle
several more before the season closes.
Fine Vehicles.
Messrs. Griffin cfc Sturdivant have
just received some very fine band
made vehicles, which are beauties.
Go around and look at them and get
prices.

The annual election of vestrymen
for St. Thomas church came off yes
terday afteruoon. The same gentle
men were elected that have served

ing, something over 830 was foalized
