A Big Deal.

One of the largest business trans
actions ever consummated in this
city was brought to a head last Sat
urday when the Wilson Cypress
Company of this city purchased of
F. S. Hodges of Green Cove Springs
and H. A. Hodges of Satsuma
Heights all their standing cypress
timber.
The timber is all located on lands
in Putnam and st. Johns counties
and the amount, while not definitely
stated, is known to be upwards of
100000 feet.
For this timber the Wilson Cypress
company paid the Messrs. Hodges
$l25,O00.
1t is the biggest timber deal made
in this city in many years.
The purchase does not include the
mill of II. A. Hodges & Co., at Buffa-
10 Bluff, but it means that that mill
will cease to cut cypress logs.
Mr.. H. A. Hodges is authority for
the statement that his company will
now engage exclusively and extern
siyely in pine lumber, and that with
in a year it will have in operation
back of San Mateo one Of the largest
pine mills in the country. The
Hodges own thousands of acres of
valuable pine timber land and their
future operations Will be on extern
sive scale.

The County Commissioners.

The regular meeting of the board
of county commissioners was held at
the court house on Tuesday, Presi-
dent A. S. Willard in the chair and
a full board present. The usual bills
were presented, ordered paid and the
usual routine work transacted.
A petition for bicycle path on the
public road from Palatka to Pencil
was granted.
A proposition from John A. Crosby
to sell the county 800 copies of the
Homeseeker number of his paper
San Mateo Item-was accepted. The
papers are to be distributed by the
Commissioner of Agriculture. The
paper mentioned contains much val
liable information regarding Putnam
county, and if properly placed ought
to result in good to the county. The
paper is well illustrated.
The delinquent tax list for the year
1901 was awarded to the Times-Her-

AIdermanlc Nominations.

The democratic caucusses for the
purpose of making aldermanic nomi-
nations and electing delegates to to-
night's city convention were held in
the various wards last Monday night.
In some of the wards, notably the
LIST, I'd, and 18th, there was some show
Of competition for the honOrs, and
the results seemed to be cause for
much hilarity on the streets next
day. The hilarity was confined
largely to the followers of successful
candidates. From what the News
could gather there seems to be two
factions in the democracy of these
wards-the Jennings and anthem
nings factions-but just why any one
should want to ring the gentleman
from Tallahassee into the ward poll
tics of Palatka is not made so clear.
According to our information it was
the Jennings faction that "shot the
chute" The following are the nom
nations.
In the First ward B. 1. Gay was
animated over Capt. H. D.. Mont
mollin by vote of 20 to Is.
In the Second ward the contest
was between Arthur R. Cartn0l and
B. J. Grooms. Cartmel was nomi-
mated by vote of %, to 10for Grooms.
There was no contest in the Third
ward, and Capt. Jos. d. Points and
Robert James were nominated with
out opposition.
In Ward Four, S. j. Kennerly and
A. Usina were nominated without
contest.
There were three candidates in the
Fifth ward, viz, VIM. Ivers, Walter
Strange and Marts Kohl. The first
two were taken, and the other, left.
The Sixth ward is fast black pre-
cinct and there was consequently
no democratic nomination.
In Ward seven T. o. Livingston
was nominated over H. A. Davis by
vote of IS g.

The Young Peoples Society of the
Presbyterian Sunday school have
just added considerable number of
books to the library of the school.
These books are all new, fresh ard
attractive. Some of them are among
the latest issued from the religious
press. There are some choice his
torical stories; and these are books
suited to all ages, tastes and grades,
for children, young people, boys and
girls and for teachers and parents.
And very pleasing experience to
the young workers is, not only the
knowledge that they have new books
to enjoy, but that the new possess
sions are the fruit of their labors.

A Sixty Dollar Haul.

When the office of n. J. Thigh
man q Sons was opened for business
Wednesday morning it was noticed
that the safe door was slightly ajar.
Examination showed that sixty dol
lars of the money known to have
been in the safe the night before was
missing. Other money in the safe
had not been touched. The lock was
uninjured.
Mr.. John @. Tilghman is not posi-
tive that he locked the safe the night
before, but thinks he did,
Three men were under arrest yes

to hold them they were let go. They
were of the genus tramp and had

The Woman's Fortnightly club
has procured a lighter load of shell
which will be disposed of at actual
cost to parties in the city who want
to repair or build sidewalks. The
shell was donated to the ladies by
Judge Vertrees and is being lighter
ed to the city free of cost by Mr.. A.
f. Wilson. The only cost to the la
dies consists of the notwithstanding
and unloading. This amount those
who apply for the shell are expected
to pay pro rata, and this will be so
little that all can avail themselves
of the opportunity to improve walks.
Many of the sidewalks in Palatka
are in deplorable condition, and it
would seem that the opportunity
thus afforded for their betterment
should meet with the universal CO.
operation of citizens. All informa-
ton concerning the shell ana orders
for it can be left at F. G. Cochrane's
book store.

V|THDRAVS
From MQyOT0Ity Contest
THIS MAKES Plain Sailing FOR
DR.. george {. WEIGH.

The question as to who will be the
next mayor of Palatka has been set
tied by the withdrawal of Mayor L..
G. Stephens who authorizes the
News to state that he will not be a
candidate before tonight's city con-
vention.
All day yesterday it looked very
much like stand-off between Mr..
Stephens and DR.. Welch. A close
canvas showed the delegation to be
pretty evenly divided. At late
hour last night, however, Mr.. Steph-
ems, knowing that the contest would
be close and feeling that as he had
already been honored by two terms
in office, came to the conclusion that
he could not afford to engage in
what some might construe to be an
unseemly contest for further honors.
Hence his determination to withdraw
in favor of his opponent.
Among local politicians the action
of Mr.. Stephens is stated to an ex-
ample of political magnanimity
which is exceedingly rare. By some
it is said that he already had the
doctor beaten. If this is so it was
certainly an unprecedented act. II
will be followed by a "whooping
harmony" in the local democracy.
Mr.. Stephens has made Palatka a
good mayor. He will retire from
office with honor, and if the News
mistakes not, he will be heard from
again in politics, in which event he
will have a following.

WILL CARRY COAL FREE.

Canadian Government to Ship Fuel
From Nova Scotia to Aid Poor.
ottawa, Ont, Oct. 1.-THE domin-
ion government has decided to carry
free for an indefinite period over the
Intercolonial railway, the government
road which extends from Sydney, G.
B., and Halifax to Montreal, all Nova
Scotia coal purchased by municipal
bodies for sale to householders at
cost.
This action has created tremen-
dous sensation. 1t will benefit different
municipal councils in amounts vary
ing from $3.50 to So per ton. For in
stance, the Ottawa city council on it's
purchases will save $1.72h per ton.
The governments decision is calcu-
lated to paralyze coal dealers in the
various cities and will drive Ohio btu
minOus coal out Of this market. A
week ago Ottawa dealers bought 5000
tons Of Ohio coal to retail here at
about $3.50 and they are highly an
gered by the governments action, as
the city will now be able to sell soft
coal from Nova Scotia at $525 per ton

WAS SEEN WITH GIRL.
Theory That Young Pereles May Have
EIoped.

Milwaukee, Oct. 14-It developed
yesterday that Nathaniel Pereles. who
disappeared under mysterious circum-
stances early last Wednesday morn
ing, was seen by an old schoolmate
Thursday afternoon accompanied by a
young girl of dark complexion, wear
ing a loose red jacket and apparently
about II years of age.
The family of the missing young
man is becoming extremely anxious
over his absence and every effort is
being made to obtain some clue which
will lead to the discovery of his where
abouts. 1t was at first thought by
some that young Pereles might have
eloped with the young girl with whom
he was seen Thursday but all the
members of the family refuse to give
any credence to the theory.
