PaLaTKA AND 1.-THE WORLD"


PALATKA AND 1.-THE WORLD"
At last the long promised "Fiori-
da Edition of the New York
World has reached us, and is a
mammoth number of 224 columns.
AS one of the great papers of the
country we have always admired
the World; as one Of the chief eX-
ponents CT democratic principles we
have closely studied its teachings,
and as an instance of phenomenal
success, it's course of late has been
the wonder of modern journalism
But even such a paper as this can
not afford to treat any community
to such dose of hastily cooked
barney as is now dished up to the
people of Florida. Our knowledge
of the state might lead US into well
deserved criticisms of It's opinions
as herein expressed of other sections,
but in the article on Palatka we are
directly interested. A short state
ment of facts known to all of US
may be necessary to clear aPpre-
citation of our position.
A representative of the New York
World, Col Fraiey, agreed some
weeks ago, for a stipulated sum to
examine into our resources, the adj
vantages of our position and our
prospects for the future, and state
his opinion of these together with
such data as might interest his
readers in an article to be published
in special edition of his paper. 1t
was thought that such an article,
written by himself, would be Of add
vantage to our community, and the
sum required was soon raised by
our business men. How has he,
representing the World, discharged
his obligation He hired another
to do the work, the article is made
up of generalities known TO all men,
and interesting to no one. There
is no careful notice of our capabiIi-
ties; no summary of our advantages
no opinion as to cur future based
on a retrospect of our past. For the
large sum demanded he devotes to
Palatka only column and a half of
glittering generalities which mean
nothing or of personalities which
have little connection with his
theme.
We have a high opinion of Mr..
Fraley's abilities, and believe if he
had done the work himself, as lie
promised, the result would have
been worthy of himself, Of the jour
nal he represents and of Palatka.
If the person he employed treated
others as he did Us, each man was
allowed to give an account Of him
self and his business, and therefore,
if he availed himself of the oppor-
tunity as we did not, the criticism
as an opinion is worth nothing.
This may be advertising, but the ar
ticle delivered is not the article
sold. Mr., Fraley was to give his
opinion of us and our town for the
benefit of his readers; does he do
that when the opinion expressed is
one entertained by ourselves
Under the circumstances we do
not believe the World can Justly
claim the sum conditionaIly prom
Used, and we hope il will not be
paid. We at least invoke the care
full consideration of the committee
before it is done. We did not buy
so much advertising space in the
World; we employed Mr., Fraley to
write up Palatka and publishaathe re-
suit OF his Investigations in that
journal. This has not been done.

opposite sex and none in their own.

gentlemen to express publicly their dis

own boots, and be a gentleman withal
in company. is just the sort of man for
me or any sensible lass to marry.

walking into their house and up TO the
coffin before they knew what was going

Marvellous Instinct Of a Cat.

In July, 1888, the steamer Golden
Rule arrived here from Cincinnati. A
fittle common gray cat that lived on the
boat had been left at Bayou Sara by ac-
cident. She had stepped out On the
wharf boat and had not returned in time.
The officers on the Golden Rule felt
sorry to lose her. for she lad left three
little kittens behind, who missed their
mother sadly. But, to the surprise OF
all, the next boat that arrived down
brought puss passenger or stewaway.
She remained on board in her new
quarters until near midnight, then
made her way to the Golden Rule. The
watchman saw her come en- board and

thusiastic sportsman, and often goes out
alone, gun in hand, in search of game,
with two settlers for attendants.
During one ofthese solitary excursions
lie was met by a peasant, who was
amazed and delighted at the skill with
which the king winged covey of par
tridges. He complimented the sports
man on his shooting, and told him If he
would come to his farm The next morn.

been stealing his chickens, he would not
mind giving him couple of francs.
King Humbert kept the appointment

| family, and received his two francs, de
lighting the humble family with his
good nature and affability.
Two days afterward the peasant wa'
amazed by the visit of an officer in

the family from the king, and was great

ployed the kingof Italy to rid his hen
