Judge Coke heard case of assault
and battery Wednesday morning, in
which John G. Jordon of near Fran
els was complainant, and Charlie
Hunter of Bannerville was the de-
PENDANT. 1t was jury trial and
Hunter was acquitted. Both parties

The Arctic Carnival Company, an
organization of some five or six
tented attractions, with the regula-
ton number of fakirs, has he N
showing on the old Larkin lot in this
city for the past few days, under
the auspices of the Palatka Citizens
Band. On the opening days, Friday

the News will be found the words Of
Il song by Miss Elizabeth N. Barr of
FlorahOme, entitled, 1.-The New Wo-
men," Miss Barr sent the words of
this song to Philadelphia music
publishing house, nd it has been
adapted to catchy music and pub
lJshed. The words and music have

Surprise parties still form a pleas
ant mode of pastime for many
PaIatka young people. One of these
parties was given last Friday even
ing at the home of Mr.. and Mrs. G.
J. Rogero, on Palatka Heights, in
honor of their daughter, Miss Maude.
A large wagon was secured and at
80 o'clock the town contingency
made the start for the scene of
pleasure, arriving there at about s
o'clock p. m. Games of various kinds
-kissiag ones cut Out(?)-were play
ed and afforded much enjoyment to
all present. Delicious refreshments
were served, and, needless to say also

Despite the many other attractions
in the city last Friday evening, the
dance at the Armory, given by the
Gem City Guards, although i'm
promptu, was one of the most thorO-

held this winter. The large dancing
hall was not uncOmfortably crowded,
about IA couples being present, but
what the dance lacked in point of
was made up in thoro-
pleasant time. Besides
the townspeople there We're quite
of visiting young ladies and
young gentlemen in attendance and
their presence added greatly to the
pleasure of the evening. The pro-
pram consisted of q numbers, two
steps and waltzes, the latter being in
a very small minority. The last
was finished at II 80 o'clock,
and the young people began to take
their departure, feeling well repaid
for the time spent so nicely. Thus
terminated another of the Guards
popular informal hops. The next
dance will probably take place at
the ArmOry next Friday night,
Jan. 30.
