VIII Hew Her Own Way in Life.


Causeur was walking down town the
other morning when he saw, seated on
what was evidently new sled, so re-
splendent was it with bright new paint,
little girl of five years or Whereabouts,
her head muffied in what was evidently
a spick and span new hood. 1t was clear
that little Goldlocks was out trying he r
Christmas gift, but, somehow motion
seemed to be lacking. She looked so
bright and beaming that Causeur wished
her a good morning as he trudged
through the snow, when the little one
answered promptly: "GoOd morning;
won't you please give me a pullf' There
was no resisting the appeal, so Causeur
picked up the rope and pulled her to the
corner. Thank you, SIR" she said:
''now how am i going to get back
There was more in the way 1T was said
than in the words, and more in the ex-
preston of the child's face than in both
combined. There was but one thing to
be done, Causeur again ''buckled to-
and pulled her back. and then, receiv-
ing renewed thanks, left her. No doubt
that child was pulled back and forth by
passing pedestrians a dozen times that
morning and no doubt each and every
one enjoyed it.

FUN.

The preparations for Palatka's Gala
Week are fairly under way. The pro-
gramme adopted yesterday by the Exec
utive Committee is subject to change, of
course, but the main features will be
adhered to. OF course the object is
primarily to make Palatka more than
usually attractive, not only to tourists
but to Floridians, for week at least.
But we intend to do it by drawing to-
gether here to compete for prizes and
distinction as large . fleet of Florida
yachts, as many representatives of gun
clubs, and as many rife teams from our
citizen soldiery as possible. One or two
games of foot ball and minor amuse-
ments will serve to keep the interest up.
Thus all the State, at least from Waldo,
Jacksonville and Fernandina south will
be represented here that week in various
ways. All the State win take an interest
in the enjoyments and competition of
the three days. There are several owners
of fast yachts in Florida who would like
TO test their keels in neutral waters.
There are many residents of the State
who wish to see good yacht race where
some of the crack craft will compete. A
number of the militia companies in the
State will be glad Of the opportunity for
another target contest. A pigeon shoot
ing tournament" with bloodless clay
pigeons participated in by teams from
various parts of the State would be very
interesting. One Of the football teams
which competed at Kissimmee recently
has proposed another match to take
place at Palatka and will readily
come into the arrangements made. 1t
VIII be such week of sports as Florida
has never known before.
The time has been arranged so al not
to interfere with any of the enterprises
OF our sister cities. 1t lies between the
openings Of the Tropical Exposition
and OF the South Florida Exposition. 1t
can be taken in by the dwellers south
OF us on their way to visit the Sub
Tropical. Interfering with no other
Florida enterprise it viii help to make
this winter one Of round Of enjoy
ments.
We have just the climate for at least
hall the year for such opeu-air sports.
With an even climats. bright skies, :

WELAKA, January IL.
Mr.. Coombs, of London, England, has
arrived, and is staying with Messrs.
Butler and Kennedy.
Mr.. Broad has sold a fine young grove
in Welaka to Mr.. Bethel, of Syracuse
Several real estate transfers are on the
taps. People are commencing to find
that Welaka and the Fruitland PENN
sula generally is the place to locate.
Encouraging reports of actual settlers
locate on the peninsula.
There is some of the finest nursery
stock in the State in this district, and
prices are lower. it is said, than they
have been for some years. Mr.. Kennedy
showed US a large list at surprisingly low
prices
Fishing is improving, and the lovers
of the rod and line are out daily and
making some fine hauls.
WEIGH & Reeder have moved their
drug store from their old stand to the
building now occupied by A. j. Reyn-
olds.
We understand that the business SO
ably conducted for some time under the
name of Reynolds & Orr, will now be
conducted by Mr.. A. j. Reynolds as sole
proprietor. Mr.. Reynolds is AN enter
prising business man, and at all times
commands good trade.
A petition for the discontinuance of
the incorporation of Welaka is being cir
culated among the colored voters and
less enlightened residents within the linn
it's. We do not know who the prime
movers in the matter may be,
nor do we want to. A more child
ish and ridiculous movement we
never heard of. No complaint has
been laid before the council, no cause
shown to the public for discomfort upon
the part of the citizens, and yet a citizen
nine months ago did not oppose incor-
poration and who, we presume, knew at
that time that he might be called upon
to pay something towards the mainte-
nance of that incorporation, now. when
he is obliged to pay, wishes to get out of
it by up-ettiug the good work done. The
movement is selfish and unprincipled,
and must be advocated by those who
have no energy, no ambition, and whose
moral composition is weak. We under
stand that it has been said that the pro-
ceedings prior to incorporation were
illegal. Every good citizen wishes this
matter to be put to the test and chal-
lenges those who are adverse to paying
taxes to come forward and take action
in a manly way upon such illegality.
1t is not necessary to get a number of
names upon a piece of paper in order
to prove an illegal proceeding.
The Rev. MIR. Thompson has been ap-
pointed to the district of Fruitland, in
the place of Mr.. Folsom.
Bishop Weed paid "a visit to Welaka
last week and held service in the Epis-
copal Church in the afternoon. There
was fair attendance, notwithstanding
the short notice given. Three chii-
dren were batized. The Bishop preached
a most able and impressive sermon.
Our old friend MIR. Swain, of Indiana,
has returned to spend the winter among
us. We are glad to welcome him. Mr..
Claude Swain has returned from st.
Augustine.

WELAKA, January IL.
The beautiful comedy ''Caste" was
old hall on Friday last. The perform
ance throughout was complete success.
All the characters were faithfully rep
resented and showed close study and
keen appreciation of the role.
Mrs. q. f. Thorne, as Esther, was as
usual exceedingly good. Her acting was
worthy of the most critical audience
and her every movement showed that
no opportunity was lost to carry out the
character represented.
The part Of Polly. as taken by Miss
X. Hotchkin. was good and kept the au-
Hotchkin was evidently cast in the right
place and she lost no opportunity.
Mrs. Hotchkin, as the Marquise de st.
Maur, acted her part with great ability.
The peculiarities of the naughty woman
who despised anything beneath her own
station. but who was too much of a wo-
man to keep her hand turned against
faithful love and goodness, were clearly
portrayed
The gentlemen, one and all, took their
parts well and upheld the established
prestige of the association.
The new roll curtain looked rich and
tasty. and reflects great credit upon the
ladies' who undertook the selection of
material and color. We understand
that further improvements are to be
added to the scenery and effects before
the next performance, which takes place
ON Friday the Goth inst, and will con-
sist of two most laughable farces-
The music was as usual most effec-
lively rendered by Miss Waldron and
her brother Mr.. ID. Waldron.

Hale's speech, taken with Sherman's,
indicates that the bloody shirt, which
proved to have lost its efficacy four years
ago, will be vigorously waved this year
by the Republicans. Never before were
there so many Northern Republican
papers expressing their WEAKNESS with
the bloody shirt business. May the Re-
publicans wave that tattered ensign Wig
orously. The odor Of its rottenness will
drive more of the sensible voters Of the
country into the Democratic party.

Valuable Guards.

Tramps and thieves have so far given
the residence of Mr.. Nj. .. Rerdell a
wide bsrth, in consequence of two tame
sandhill or whooping cranes he has in
his yard. These birds, besides giving
instant warning by loud cries if a
stranger enters the yard, either day or
night, win show fight and contest every
inch Of ground. They seem to be always
on watch, and no one can enter ever so
stealthily without their knowing. Aside
from their value in this regard they are
perfect beauties, approaching nearer the
ostrich than any other bird, and are
highly prised.

The Topeka, Kans., Capital is one Of
the Republican papers which is tired of
the bloody shirt business. Speaking of
Chambers bill, it says:
No constitutional objection could be
urged against such law. But to single
out one State or four States and make a
law for them that would have no appli-
cation elsewhere has q harshness about
IL that Is hardly American. Let US have
. general election law with machinery
that may be put in motion by the people
everywhere, law that will prevent
frauds in Indiana as well as South Caro-
lima.
The careful reader of impartial news
papers knows that the greatest frauds
upon voters are committed in the North
ern States, that in the Northern cities it
il far more difficult to secure an honest
election than in the Southern. Chand-
Ter, Sherman, ct al, know it too, but the
''bloody shirt" is still their chief article
in trade. 1T is hard to teach an old dog
new tricks"

This is Jacksonville 3 holiday and many
Of our citizens will be there to help her
to enjoy herself. The Sub-Tropical Ex-
position is an excellent plan for present
ing the merits Of Florida to the winter
visitors and we believe many residents
of the State will gain new ideas as to the
capabilities of our soil and climate upon
visiting the great show. We are sorry
that Putnam County is not " ell repre-
sented there, but she is not the only inn
portant county in the State which does
not make much Of show there. This
Exposition will be success, we believe,
and the first of a series of object lessons
in the value Of Florida to the immigrant
desiring to settle in a healthful and fer
tile State enjoying genial climate. We
tender Jacksonville our good wishes.
