PEOVIDENCE. 



The Market. 



Holiday receptions, funerals and a 

 few weddings gave the florists about 

 an even break with the market last 

 week. There has been a moderate sup- 

 ply, and the demand has given the 

 tradesmen an opportunity to keep prac- 

 tically cleaned up all the week. Prices 

 have been normal, having dropped back 

 after the Christmas rise. The coming 

 week will be a busy one on account 

 of the numerous orders that have been 

 received for the inaugurations of city 

 and state officials. 



Various Notes. 



William Jurgens, of Newport, was a 

 visitor in Boston last week. 



The florists in this section are watch- 

 ing, with considerable interest, the 

 workings of the new parcel post. One 

 florist took advantage of the new order 

 of things, on the first day, to send a 

 funeral wreath to Hanover, N. H. The 

 piece was just one-half inch inside the 

 measurement allowed by law, and cost 

 18 cents to mail, while the express 

 charge would have been 55 cents. 



As a Christmas gift, the city of New- 

 port has been offered the entire estate 

 of George Gordon King, to be used as a 

 public park and the dwelling as a 

 library. The grounds, containing about 

 eight acres, are well furnished with 

 shrubs and large, handsome trees. 



J. Kopelman & Co. have begun the 

 erection of two propagating houses on 

 their place at Oaklawn. Each will be 

 20x60. 



George Hunt has been reelected Fire 

 Commissioner of Providence, for a pe- 

 riod of three years. 



Louis D. Pierce, of Norwood, left 

 last week for New York, en route for 

 the south, where he will remain for 

 a month or so, on account of his 

 health. 



Thomas Curley, who has been con- 

 fined to his house by illness, is able 

 to be about again. 



The building and stock of the George 

 A. Weaver Co., at Newport, were de- 

 stroyed by fire on the morning of De- 

 cember 29. Seeds, agricultural imple- 

 ments and supplies constituted the 

 stock. Plate glass windows of Stewart 

 Ritchie's store were broken by the 

 heat. 



Nils G. Pierson was elected first vice- 

 president of the Men's Club, Norwood, 

 at the annual meeting held last week.
