Mr.. Browne Gives Thanks.

Jacksonville, Fla, Aug. IA, 1902.
Editor Palatka News:
| desire to thank the people of Put
nam County, through the columns of
your paper, for the magnificent sup
port which they gave me in the pri-
mary election of August 18th. While
l appreciate the compliment, l re-
gard it as an endorsement of the
principles which | advocate, rather
than of me as an individual.
In the recent primary the issue
between myself and my opponent
was plain and clear-cut, and the way
the people voted shows that they
understood it.
The result also shows that the ma
jority rule in making nominations
should continue in operation. In
the first primary | had but 81 plural
ity over Mr.. Day in vote of nearly
p 900. A change of ~ votes would
have given him plurality, and il
we had not had the majority rule, il
would have made him the nominee
whereas, his overwhelming defeat
in the second primary shows that he
was not the choice of the democratic
people. The only way for the peO.
pie to be sure that they will get none
but peoples men in the offices, is tC
insist upon the majority rule in max
ing nominations. The Inconvenience
of second primary is slight com
pared with the benefits derived from
having Il man elected who is the
choice of the people.
Yours, Very truly,
JEFFERSON b. BROWNE.

The old building at the corner of
Lemon and Seventh streets, former
ly a bakery, but more recently I'M
used, is being repaired by the owners
of the property preparatory to occu-
pancy by Livingston's Bakery. The
increase in Mr., Livingstons business
since the time he has been here
necesitates larger quarters, and,
while he will still retain the down
town stand, all the baking will be
done at the place mentioned above as
soon as the repairs are finished.

Bond returned to the city Saturday
afternoon from Jacksonville, after a
pleasant visit of week with Mrs.

some time past, left this Thursday
afternoon for her home in Thomas
vile, Ga, to the regret of her many
friends in this city, all of whom eX-
press the wish that she will make
Palatka another visit soon.

him. 1t is stated that his fever is of
the typhoid variety. DR.. w. H. Cy-

Abrupt Ending of Divorce Case

During Monday and Tuesday of
this week Judge Coke and Capt.
Walter NJ. Davis were engaged re-
spectively in prosecuting and oppos-
ing suit for enforcement in which
an old negro couple from Crescent
City We're the principals. John Madi-
son, about 80 years of age. was trying
to secure divorce from his wife
Nancy, about the same age, and with
whom he had lived for 10 years, on
the ground that Nancy had an habit
ual horse laugh and other evidences
of incompatibility of temper. Nancy
opposed the divorce on religious
grounds. She believed that whom
God and de Baptist preacher had
jined together for better or worse,
no man should put asunder."
The case came up for hearing on
Monday morning before Hon. 5. J.
Hilburn, special master in chancery
1t dragged slowly through that day
and until midnight, when an adjourn
ment was had until Tuesday morn
ing. Early on Tuesday the case was
resumed, continuing until late in the
afternoon. Many negroes, slow of
speech and slower of comprehension
were called upon to testify. The
room was hot, but the judge and
stenographer were patient, while the
attorneys, perspiration dripping from
their over-worked brains, were
watching for points in the testimony
favorable to their respective clients.
Just before the wind-up of testi-
mony taking late Tuesday afternoon,
old John Madison the plaintiff was
put on the stand, and it was his in
nocently given testimony that caused
the judge ard lawyers to grin, and
brought the case TO an abrupt end.

amining lawyer, you may tell the
court how long time elapsed after
the death of your first wife before
YOU married Nancy ?m
why, bless Gawd, jedge, she amt
daid," answered John, shes up in
Georgia.

Judge, chow long was it after you OBJ
tanned a divorce from your first wife
that you married Nancy ?"
why, judge" answered John. Il
never dun got a divorce. She JUS
mach rally left me an went to Geor-
gia."
''Did your first wife ever get di-
vOrce from your" questioned Judge
Coke.
Not that / knows on, !" answered
old John, ''she jus nach'rally left
me and went to Georgia. "
us she still liying?n questioned
the attorney.
so far as knows" said John, ~
amt heerd from her in bout a year;
but she was in Georgia them
OF course the fact that Nancy and
John were never legally married.
brought the suit to an abrupt end,
and smile to the face of the long
suffering court.
