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.
