OUR FLORAHOME LETTER.
Editor PALATKA NEWS:

Editor PALATKA NEWS:
You probably remember Esop's
fable of the man who tried to please
everybody and for his pains got
laughed at and lost his donkey in
the bargain.
Ny first letter has called out some
enquiries regarding the prospects for
fruit from the trees on the orchard
tract. where some 10000 peach, plum
and other trees have been receiving
care during the past two years. Last
spring some of the trees on some of
the lots produced a good crop of fair
fruit but owing TO lack of personal
attention on the part of those in
charge and lack of experience on
part of others but little was done
with it. A few crates of peaches
went into the market but not at
prices warranting the shipment of
the whole crop. What few | sent
away paid me well. but personal at
tentiOn may be credited with a due
share of the result.
Another spring should show a
bOuntiful harvest of excellent fruit
which will doubtless pay 10 market.
Again personal attention must be
given or the failure of last spring
may be repeated.
There is some prospect of establish
ing canning and picking factory
here of greater or lesser capacity
which if carried to a fulfillment will
largely add to the value of every
holding here. If established on
somewhat of a cooperative plan the
purpose would doubtless be better
carried out than by an individual
ownership.
If the nonresident land owners
could be induced to chip in TO a
small amount. if not over . cents for
each acre held, and in any case not
over s. apiece it would definitely
settle the somewhat doubtful ques-
ton. a. five hundred dollars would
buy quite a respectable outfit. which
by adding the profits of the business
yearly for few years to il would
soon establish it on a profitable basis.
Those residents would readily do
their share and under the direction

THE PASSING OF MRS.
STANTON.

According 10 universal verdict,
Mrs. Elizabeth Cady Stanton. whose
death was reported last week at the
ripe age of 81. was an excellent wife
and mother. She was also woman
Of splendid intellectual powers and
strength of character. She was a
woman of practical mind, and did
not look over the heads of those who
lived about her TO pity the sorrows
Of the women of India and mourn
for the incompetent government of
Uganda. She saw that intellec-
rually and morally she and many
Of her great sisterhood were superior
TO many of her male acquaintaneeS.
She saw corruption and oppression
in government, and she believed
that if the tenderness and natural
refinement of womanhoOd could be
united to the cause of good govern
ment. governments must improve.
She s,OOd for the same rights and
privileges for women as for men.
Mrs. stanton was a materialiSt.

instantly explains her bold attitude
IN the questions of marriage and di-
vorce. She did not see that the mar
rage contract differed at all from
any other contract, and therefore
she could not see why it should not
be subject to the same rules of abrO-
CATION as any otter contract. She
led a rather stormy life, so far as the
outer world was concerned. Her
home is said to have been a model
IF its kind. She proved in her own
personality that a woman can be as
well fitted for public duties as the
average man. Whether she would
be- a happy in that sphere as she i
in the environments Of a happy home
is another question.

food, when boiled or fried. it is a
most nutritious substitute for Irish
or sweet potatoes. 1t can be made
into flour and bread. or biscuit made
from it in the same manner as FROM
other flour and when simply grated
is made into buildings or batter cakes
or fritters of most delicious quality.
1t is the easiest grown of any of
FlOridas products and it does not
take a prophet to see that ere long it
will become an article of cOmmerce
and be kept in the grocery store as
well as potatoes. 1t contains mora
nutriment than potatoes and can be
sold at one-third the price the potato
brings. Let the family that is try
ing to make the little they have 20
the fartherest, try it and this fact
will be abundantly proved.

ment is as important as the rate per
cent derived. In Palatka per cent
is regarded as being too low for Sc
riOus consideration; in the eastern
financial centres. when such rate of
Interest is offered suspicion imme-
diately attaches TO the value of the
security. 1t is to explain this latter
that the company goes into details
in its advertisement to be seen in
another column. Quite a number of
these bonds are now held by promi-
nent Palatkans.

CONTRACT SYSTEM DEFEATED.
Georgia Congressman Divided on Rural
Delivery Bill.

A Washington special says Judge
Griggs of the second Georgia district
made the leading speech IN the house
Saturday in behalf of the bill to put
rural mail carriers under contract sys-
ten. He made strong argument in sup
port of the position of the postoffice
committee, of which he is member,
contending that the contract system
would mean saving of many
million dollars to the treasury, and
that it would give US efficient service
as is rendered under the present sys-
TEN OF the appointment of carriers.
Among the speakers on the rural
1ree delivery bill were Mr.. Griggs of
Georgia for the bill, and Messrs Tai
dert and Lever of South Carolina, and
tate, of Georgia, against it.
a vote was reached on the bill Mon
gay, and the proposition to let the
routes out by contract was defeated.

PARROT PARAGRAPHS.

Mrs. Williford and Mr.. John
Williford are both quite i'll with
grippe. We miss Mrs. Williford very
much during her illness, as she is
always ready and willing to help others
in distress. We earnestly hope for her
speedy recovery.
Mr.. J. Z. Turner's little daughter,
Matte. is very i'll with grippe. There
are quite a number OF our citizens
hardly able to be out on the streets.
The exceedingly unfavorable weather
of the past two months has produced
more pneumonia and grippe than for
years past.
DIR. J. T. Arnold was called to
Brooksville on Friday to see very
sick patient. DR.. Williford was also
called to Weston tC see Mrs. G. w.
Dismuke, who is quite ill.
Mr.. j. T. Tilley has built an i'm
mense barn for his cattle and gone in
to the business right. He sold about
90 head of fat cattle few days ago,
and has over one hundred in his barn
at present.
Mr.. j. r. Marshall was in town sew
eral days last week exhibiting cot
ton dropper. He has travelled consld-
erably in this state, and says that he
finds a good deal of drunkenness in all
the dispensary tow ms, but seldom
sees a drunken man in dry town like
Parrot. He was delighted with the
quiet of our town, as also with its bust
ness hustle. He said he saw more
drunk men in a small town in one day
than in Fl Valley in months, and
there is difference of several thous-
and in the number of inhabitants; still
the dispensary advocates say Just the
opposite. We are satisfied. that it is
big pay in money as well as in peace
aud morality to keep it Out of Parrott.
