Suitable Mourning.

Sadie had tied large red hair
ribbon about her arm, had hung an
old plum colored veil over her Grim
son MUSHROOM hat and had wrapped
herself in cast off shawl in hue
to match.
Her small brother looked at her
with some curiosity. "What are you
doin' that fot?"
'Tm a widow, and I'm mourning
for my husband what's dead"
"Ah, but yuh silly, yub, people
don't wear red when they're in
mourning"
That ''stumped" Sadie for some
time. She spent the next five min
utes in sweeping up and down the
room with solemnity that was hotly
tinged with indignation. But finally
a sudden beam OF inspiration shone
forth upon her face. "Huh! Mebbe
you wouldn't think yourself 80 smart
if I telled you what my husband
died Of"
wAh whaL'd he die of

week EN- route to his fathers home
for weeks visit. Mr.. Allen holds

that denomination in towns near

Last Sunday, as had been previous
ly announced, Mr.. Allen supplied the
pulpit of the NJ. f. Church at Fruit
land, and there was large gather
ing of his old neighbors and friends
to hear him. A gentleman present
informs the News that the sermon
was one of the best ever delivered in
the church, and the occasion was
rendered one of great spiritual bene-
fit. Mr.. Allen is a young man of
promise in the ministry, for he is
both earnest and studious, and enter
tains no doubt whatever regarding
the divine authenticity of his call to
the work. His friends are predict
ing that he will take high rank in
his chosen profession and that ca
reer of great usefulnes awaits him.

tents of the unrighteous at Talla-

Gathering of Paupers.

The notice of the board of county
commissioners given at the August
meeting, that the pauper list would
be revised at the meeting in Septem-
Der, had the effect to bring together
last Tuesday all those of the county
poor whose names are on the pension
list. Those who were not present i'll
person or by representative were
dropped from the list. The poor OF
Putnam county are much like the
poor of other counties, though as a
matter of fact that portion of them
who are on the county's pension roll
are not very numerous.
The monthly payments to the poor
last month was but $3.50. This
amount has now been reduced to
$3.50. One man who was on the
list sent word that he desired to be
taken off The probability is that
his case would not bear investiga-
ton, for it is whispered that he has
long been working at $l.25 per day,
and at the same time drawing 81 per
month from the county. AS the list
stands today it has every appearance
of being a worthy one.

Horse Racing.

There We're some pretty races at
the Palatka speedway last Monday
and they Were witnessed by a big
crowd of spOrtively inclined Palat-
kans.
There were two races of $40 yards
straight away. The first race be-
tween Jim Perkins Heck and Mr..
Hancock's Rex was won by the
former.
The second race between Heck"
and Hamp Moody's Punch" was a
pretty go on the first trial, the horses
keeping neck and neck over the
whole distance and crossing the line
in the same manner, made it a draw.
After a wait of a half hour these
horses made a second trial, when
Heck" was declared a winner.
More races are promised for next
Saturday.

The Only Indian.

Justice G. |. Rowton will leave for

goes to represent the Florida Great
Council Improved Orderof Red Men
10 the Great Council of the United
States, which body begins its annual
session in that city next Monday
Judge Rowton is the only Indian
who will attend the Great Council

ored by the Red Men of this state
being selected to represent them al
the Great Council of the u. S. held
in New York. He has been the
Great Sachem of the state and is
now the great record keeper.
1t is not for the uninitiated to know
much of this order, but it has high
place among the secret fraternities
of the country. The reason it is call
ed Improved" Order of Red Men
probably arises from the fact that
all its paths are peace and that the
members are held together by the
motto-''Freedom, Friendship and
Charity The order claims aborigi-
nal ancestry.

A Modest Industry.

The Kennerly Hardware Company
of this city will ship something over
100000 pounds of deer's tongue (tri-
lisia Odoratissima, sometimes called
vanilla plant, to northern markets
this summer. This plant, which
grows in many parts of Putnam coun-
ty, is brought here by farmers for
which they are paid two and One-half
cents per pound. The leaves, when
dry, eXhale IA vauilla-like fragrance
for years, and it is used to flavor
smoking tobacco.
70 handle this great amount of
leaves of this plant requires a con-
siderable amount of space, and the
company are using the building on
Reid street formerly occupied by the
Ell Perfecto Cigar Mandatory to
sort, pack and bale the leaves for
shipment.
Mr.. Kennerly states that in 1900
his firm shipped $4,000 pounds,
The leaves are picked in May, June,

'Rah for the Commissioners.

At the meeting of the board of
county commissioners on Tuesday an
appropriation of $500 was made to as
sist in gathering and maintaining a
fitting exhibit of Putnam county's
resources at the forthcoming State
Fair at Lake City, November II, IL,
ID and 14th.
The board also appointed Mr.. F. Ii.
Hafer of this city to take charge of
the collection and proper arrange
ment of the exhibit at the Fair. No
better appointment could have been
made. Mr.. Hafer makes no charge
for his services beyond his necessary
hotel expenses, and is to render the
board detailed accounting for all
his expenditures. 1t is understood
that Major Glessner, land commiss-
Toner of the q. S. d f. R'y, will also
enter heartily into the work of BOOM
ing this section at the Fair, and will
render all the assistance in his power
to make Putnam's showing at Lake
City what it should be.
Mr.. Hafer is distinctly in his ele-
ment when engaged in work of this
kind. He is essentially a promoter,
and what he will accomplish for the
material advancement of the county
can not easily be Appropriated. The
News feels like personally thanking
the members of the county board for
their action. The money and the
man who is to spend it constitute a
combination of that judicious adver-
Using, without which no community
can expect to progress.
In this connection the News pub
fishes the following appeal to the
people from Mr.. Hafer.
To THE PEOPLE OF PUTNAM Co.:

of the advisory board representing

ty commissioners have so wisely de-
cided to foster.

Sheriff. Fees.

In its last weeks issue the News
inadvertently made an error in its
computation of the cost of feeding
prisoners in the county jail. Forty
cents a day was formerly the amount
allowed the sheriff for feeding pris-
oners. Atthe present time the al
lowance is 40 cents per day up to 10
prisoners; for all over that number
the sheriff is allowed but 30 cents
per day.
Mr.. Howell states that ten of his
present house full of prisoners are
Iaborers, and that they not only pay
for their keep, but make a little
money for the county.
The amount allowed by the county
commissioners for feed of prisoners
at the county jail for the month of
August was $4,000, and this is the
largest amount paid in any single
month for some years.

Killed in Run Away.

News of the violent death of Mrs.
d. L. Morgan of Kerr City reached
here on Monday. Mrs. Morgan was
driving to the Norwalk steamboat
landing to meet her daughter Miss
Ida. 1t is supposed that the horse
became frightened, and throwing
her from the buggy dragged her for
considerable distance through an
old field. Her lifeless body was
found later in the day by Mr.. Barnes
IA teamster for the Townsend Naval
Stores Company.
Mrs. Morgan was the wife of d. L.
Morgan a former well-known mer-
chant at Norwalk, but who has lived
at Kerr City across the line in Ma

years.
