For Turpentine Hands.

has been doing some carpenter work

Death of Mrs. Closes Sister.

Mrs. Elenor Tracy, of Ypsilanti
Mich, died at st. Lukes hospital,
Jacksonville, on Saturday morning
of heart failure. Mrs. Tracy was a
sister of Mrs. James A. Close, of this
place, and the circumstances of her
death are sad, indeed.
Mrs. Tracy left Detroit last week
Tuesday in company with Mrs.
Closes daughter, Mrs. F. E. Robin
son and infant, and Miss Mable Rob-
inson, for prolonged visit at the
Close home here. She was taken ill
on the sleeper en- route, and had it not
been for the presence of a physician
on the car would probably have died
on the train. The party arrived at
Jacksonville at an early hour Thurs
day morning, with Mrs. Tracy too ill
to sit up. After q wait of several
hours at the station arrangements
were finally made for Mrs. Tracy's
admission to st. Luke's Hospital,
where she was taken and made as
comfortable as possible. Mrs. Rob-
lnson then came on to Crescent City,
her daughter Miss Mable remaining
with Mrs. Tracy. On Friday Mrs.
Close went to Jacksonville intending
to assist in nursing her sister, but
she grew rapidly worse and died on
Saturday morning about 10 o'clock
Daughters of the sick lady were
summoned from Chicago, and they
arrived about an hour before their
mothers death. Arrangements were
made for the return of the body to
Mrs. Tracy's former home in Ypsi-
lanti, and the remains went north
accompanied by the bereaved daugh-
tiers on Monday.
Miss Mable Robinson came here on
Saturday and Mrs. Close returned
Sunday afternoon. She had not seen
her sister for many years and had
looked forward to pleasant reunion,
which death has made impossible in
this life. The sickness of her aunt
on the cars and the care of an infant
child made the trip peculiarly try
ing one for Mrs. Robinson, who is |
here for the purpose of recuperating
her own waning strength.

The Avenue House and All View
Cottage are being well patronized
this season and number of visitors
are occupying rooms and cottages
outside.
Mrs. E. S.. IsOm of Cleveland, O.,
is expected to arrive this week on a
visit to Mr.. E. S. Isom who is guest
at All View Cottage.
The four children of the new pas

an addition to the Juvenile popula-
ton of Como, helping out the school
and institutions of young people. 1t
is in contemplation to hold a child
ren's meeting on next Sunday after
noon at the V. 1. A. hall. The meet
ing is intended for parents and their
friends as well as children, and as
Rev. Ford and Stones will be in
town-and as the meeting will be
distinctly undenominational-it is
expected that it will be interesting.
1t is hoped that these meetings can
be held about once a month and that
they will do much good.

A Religious Cakewalk.

The good colored Methodists held
a cakewalk last week to the "glOry

treasury The shin dig was given
in the odd fellows hall, WhitevilIe
suburb, and there was big audi
ence of white people present. Metho-

by ''our brother in black is a trifie
more liberal than it was last season
when similar affair under the
management of John Vincent was
decried as device of the devil. But
John is q Baptist, and that fact
might have made some difference.
There has also been a change in the
pastor, and this may in a measure
have resulted in lifting the ban.
Anyway it was lifted and there was
good show under the auspices of
colored Methodists. Several couples
contested for the cake and the walk
ing wos fancy and characteristic.
John Vincent and his partner, Mat
tie Givens, were awarded the cake.
There were several laughable featur-

rag time campmeeting metre by the
Rev, Pete Wiley, jr. Pete has the
gift to a remarkable degree. He is
a little shy on JUNCTION, but what he
lacks In this particular is more than
made up by his swift utterance. He
got there with both feet. The church
netted about $500 by the PERFORM
ance, and the cause of pure and I'M
defiled religion has made an advance
or retrograde step according as you
may look at it.
Now John Vincent promises to give
another by the full of the next moon,
and before our northern visitors get
away with their pocket books.

Work of Sunshine Societies.

Editor PALATKA NEWS.
Your readers who see the Ladies
Home Journal probably read from
month to month with more or less in
tereSt the report of the international
Sunshine Society. This society origi.
mated many years ago with Mrs
Cynthia Westover Alden, growing
out of the sending of a Christmas
card she had received to an old uncle
to whom it suggested a friend who
would enjoy the pansies and verses
each person in turn copying the poem.
Starting from thought the
growth of the society has been pht =
nomenal. It's members now num-
bering many thousands.
From one parent society branches
have sprung up, until every state and
territory in the Union is represented.
There are also branches in India,
Australia, France, Canada, the BAHIA
mas and Mexico.
The name Sunshine Society" was
given in 1896. March 9Th 1900, it was
Incorporated under the name of the
International Sunshine Society, Mrs.
Alden becoming president-generaJ of
the society she founded. Its officers,
board of directors and advisory board
include women and men we'll known
as philanthropists. "Ten or more To-
cal branches in a state shall be fede-
rated. The state president appoint
ed by the president-general becomes
vice-president of the International
Sunshine Society,""
Society motto--Good Cheer. Col
ors-Yellow and White. yellow is
typical of golden sunshine and white
is emblematic of purity of purpose
that characterizes the sunshine
work. sFlower-coreOpsis. Sunshine
song" Scatter Sunshine, found
among the Christian Endeavor
hymns. Dues-Every day do kind
act (not in self consciousness, but
with an humble spirit, relieving the
routine of daily duties, Frightening
the daily paths with constant
thoughts for others.)
Although Florida is such a sunny
state that our floral emblem blooms
the year round we have but few
branches. The work seems partic-
ularly adapted to us in Florida, es-
pecially to those who remain during
the summer, melting us to make
the most of our many sunshine bless
ings. 1t appeals to rich and poor
alike; it cheers aching hearts as no
other work does; it will arouse us
from the apathy and discourage
ments brought by the freeze it
teaches the selfish and thoughtless
that nothing is too trivial to pass on,
the effort required being a blessing
in itself. Sunshine from all ever the |
world will be added to our store and |
broader sympathy and intellect.
In our "Good Will" branch we
have a dear old lady over eighty who |
spends her days doing kind acts. |
One member distributes lovely flow
ers, others cheer with songs. Anoth-
Or works among the children and has
formed a junior branch knights of |
numbering fifteen.
We have a blessed sunshine baby.
All help and all are learning to de-
Eelop especial or latent gifts, for in
happiness, and to give of
heir best by bringing their purest |
thoughts and gentlest manners.
1t would give us pleasure to en-
courage other communities in Flori-
Ia to take up the work which we are
sure will become to them an inspira-
lion and a blessing.

Orange Shipments.

The total orange shipments from
Crescent City this season amounts
to something over 1900 boxes by
steamer. This ON the authority of
Capt. j. w. Miller who had about
200 boxes himself. In addition to
this amount there were several hun
dred boxes shipped by rail from Cres-
cent City Junction.
1t will thus be seen that the esti-
mate of $500 boxes made by the
News early In the fall was about cor
-ect. The News also estimated Capt.
Miller's crop at 200 boxes, and the
actual amount will not fall dozen
boxes short.
Capt. Miller states that with a fa-
vorable season the crop in this inn
mediate vicinity the coming season
ought to total 10000 boxes. The
danger of freeze will be over in three
weeks.

WHAT ONE WOMAN OBSERVES.

To be contented you must be good
friends with yourself.
The man who is bravest in words
is often weakest in action.
Women with double chins are apt to
be exacting in love affairs.
Hope is a memory that Graves; rec
objection is a memory stated.
To be born without humor one loses
two-thirds of life's enjoyment.
The womanly woman is born-not
made. She is not only good, but good
for something.
A woman is proud to see come back
to her side the man whom she has
left perfectly tree.
If you are fond of woman tell her
SO, it cannot hurt you, and 1t will
make her much happier.
1t is not always good looks and
wealth that capture, it is rather the
come hither" in the eye.
No man has the power of reaching
his own ideal. unless he inculcates
that ideal in the mind of others.
Women are more ambitious in love
than men; not only do they wed the
heart, but they must share the
thoughts as well.
The unfailing symptoms of waning
love in man is gradual indifference
to the little things that for time
meant SO very much to him.
Nothing in the world can exceed
the utter loyalty with which woman
respects the confidence of man for
whom she has a genuine liking.
Beauty in man is rather Irritating.
There is so little of it to go around
that it seems pure wastefulness to
bestow it where it is not needed.
The majority of men want three
things: They want to be understood,
they want to be sympathized with and
they want to be liked for themselves.
Women as rule care very little
about the law, possibly because they
have had no share in making 1t. Then
they look at everything in very
personal way.

CONSCIENCE MUSINGS.

There Is nothing so undignified as
anger.
Revenge, however sweet. always
costs more than it is worth.
Conscience is the voice of the soul;
the passions are the voice of the body.
To dread no eye and to suspect no
tongue is the great prerosative of in
nocence.
We are all creatures of circum-
stances, and merit often fails where
good luck wins.
There are many men whose tongues
might govern multiudes, if they COULD
but govern themselves.
Pleasure must first have the war
rant that it is without sin; then, the
measure, that it is without excess.
Every beautiful, pure and good
thought which the heart entertains is
an angel of mercy, purifying and
guarding the soul.
