her to task for it, but the girl
silenced the mother by quoting the

"Whatsoever that ye would that
men should do unto you do ye
even 30 unto them"

"Mighty Popular Man"

Two Citrus county farmers were in
our office one day recently, and
among other things they talked
about was the gubernatorial race.
One remarked that Congressman
Davis was mighty popular man in
Florida, and it looked like he could
get anything he wanted in the politi-
cal line" "Yes,p replied the other,
"and one thing that has made him so
popular amongst the masses, are, he
hasn't got this fool 'big-head,' with
all his brains, and he amt above
anybody. Why, sir, if you or l
should meet him in Washington,
Jacksonville, Palatka, or anywhere
else, dressed like we are, with these
old clothes on, he would recognize
us, and treat us just as nicely as
though we had on the finest kind of
suits; and would finally take us by
the arm and say, come on, gentle
man, let's go and take something to-
gether.' Yes, sir, l am for Bob Davis
for anything from Governor up to
President" And they left the News
Office whooping up Congressman
Davis Tor Governor -Chrystal River

Fire at Crescent CITY.

The residence of Thomas Hinch-
cliff at Crescent City was totally de-
stroyed by fire at an early hour We'd
nesday morning. Particulars as to
the cause of the fire are lacking. 1t
is stated that Mr.. Hinchclitf was out
IN the grove, some distance from the
house, and that Mrs. Hinchclitf was
in the kitchen engaged in preparing
breakfast at the time the fire was
discovered. The fire had made
great headway before discovery, for
it is stated that everything in the
house was consumed. Mrs. Hinch-
cliff was quite severely but not dan
gerously burned about the head and
shoulders in an effort to save some
articles, and which she was obliged
to abandon to the flames.
The Hinchcliff residence was a
pretty home situated on the west
shore Of lake Stella. The Hinch-
cliffs are middle aged people, have
no children and have resided at
Crescent City many years. They
are among the best, most highly es-
teemed citizens of the place and in
the loss of their pretty home will
have the sympathy of all. 1t is
stated that the property was well in
sured.

MetamOra Is Here.

The Steamer Metamora of Lucas
line which sank near the mouth of
Ocklawaha river last month, steamed
up to its dock in this city Tuesday
morning bright and early towing a
large lighter.
The work of raising the Metamora
was completed on Manday when it
was thoroughly pumped out and ex-
amined. There was not a break in
the hull which was as sound as ever.
This fact establishes the theory that
the boat was sunk by listing in round
ing a curve, then careened sufficient
ly to fill with water and sink.
After a little time a fire was started
in the boilers, the machinery rubbed
up and the engines were started.
They worked all right and the boat
was headed for home.
OF course the boat will have to be
refurnished and equipped, and good
deal of money spent in order to put
it in proper shape for the coming
season, but this Capt. Lucas is pre-
pared to do. The boat will also be
arranged so as to make similar ac-
cident next to impossible.
Walter Watson the l7-year-old
colored cabin boy of this city who
went down with the boat had been
wcdged in the hold, showing that he
made a desperate effort to escape.
His body was recovered and when it
reached this city was turned over to
undertaken r. S. Mooney. The flu
neral of Watson was held at his form
er home at 8 o'clock Wednesday
morning.

Memorial Exercises.

The Daughters of the Confederacy
and the Ladies Memorial Society
met at West View cemetery on Sun
day afternoon to honor the memory
of the Confederate and Union soldiers
by decorating their graves with flow
ers. The floral offering were many
and handsome.
After the graves were decorated
the assemblage, including the vete-
rams of the Blue and Gray, assembled
under the large oak near the Rosig-
mol family plot, and here the service
began.
in. Blackwell, as master of cere-
monies, introduced Rev. N. H. Will
liams of the Methodist church who
made an earnestly beautiful prayer
Then the master of ceremonies intro
duced f. Noble Calhoun, who de-
livered the memorial address. Mr.,
Calhoun's speech was magnificent
piece of oratory and eloquence and
his words stirred the feelings of his
auditors to their utmost limit. AT
the conclusion of Mr.. Calhoun's ora
ton, Rev. Williams pronounced the
benediction and the assembly, many
in number, dispersed.
There would have been a much
larger attendance at the services had
the afternoon been a pretty one, but
Il shower began to fall shortly after
3 o'clock which kept great many
people at home.

LOOK OUT
FOR MALARIA.

An epidemic of Malaria is sure to fol-
low the wet season and the high waters
which have prevailed all over the
South. Malaral and kindred fevers
will develope to an alarming extent.
General health conditions will be bad;
every precaution should be taken.
The system Must Especially Be Fer
tilted to Resist Msiarlsi Attacks.
A trial of fifty years has demonstrate
ed that for this emergency, DIR. Har-
ter's Iron Tonic has no equal. Iron is
the fighting element in the blood, and
the kind of iron supplied by DR.. Har-
ter's Iron Tonic is just the kind the
system requires to successfully combat
malarial conditions. Don't wait until
you are attacked. Take it now and for
tify yourself; it is an absolute safeguard
and, at the same time, it is the best
tonic and invigorant for the entire sys-
tenn. On the other hand, quinine dis
turbs the system and its cumulative
poison begets greater physical troubles
than those it is employed to remedy.
Where bad case of chronic Malaria
already exists, take DIR. HARTERS

guaranteed to cure. Price so cents.

FAKE DR. HARTER'S
IRON TONIC


Mayor Steen is finding no difficulty
in proving that the office of mayor
need not necessarily be mere figure
head position, and that whether it is
or not depends solely upon the in
cumbent. He goes on the theory
that the mayor is director-general of
municipal affairs by reason of his
office, that he is elected for purposes
of direction and that only when he
fails in this regard does he become a
| flgurehead--an ornamental image
without influence or authority.
1t has been many times stated tn; t
under Palatka's new charter, which
put the enforcement of ordinances in
the hands of municipal Judge, that
the office of mayor is a mere figure
head.
If you believe that just you watch
Mayor Steen. The new mayor takes
the position that to him still belongs
the duty of general director.
The message Of the mayor publish
ed last week was "corker"-an in
novation in municipal documenta-
tion. It was the key note for Il new
order Of things, the order for for
ward movement. Every citizen of
Palatka can afford to fall in line and
follow the lead of the new mayor.
Read these two paragraphs from
his message again. 1t is good stuff:
"Gentlemen, the curse of indiffer-
entism has fallen on a large number
of our citizens and they listen and
give heed to those that harp ON the
uselessness of everything, because of
their own failures and want of prac-
tical knowledge. Now we must ac-
complish something this year, do the
best that we are able under the cir
cumstances and with the conditions
at our command. This is what / call
being practical. The way to ac-
complish anything is to go and do it,
and not stand on the streets talking
with all the old moss backs how
things should be done and that this
one and that one ought to do so and
so. Begin at once and do something,
and as soon as outsiders see us up
and doing they will feel like coming
and will want to be doing too"
"Faith in the future of our town has
begun to dawn upon our people and
they need to have the examples of
prosperity set for them by your hon
orable body. Prosperity is like dis
ease-it becomes contagious and
spreads; let the citizens see that you
are progressive council and they
will catch the infection and become
progressive also. ! ask your CO.
operation and sympathy in uphold
ing the law"
The mayor has already entered up
on his campaign. The streets are
being cleaned and filled in where
needed. He has also ordered COW
owners to comply strictly with the
ordinance which prohibits COWS from
being anchored in the streets. This
order will eliminate the cowslip or
bovine trademark as sidewalk
obstruction to the social function.
