Robert James, the popular restau-
rant proprietor of this city, will re-
tire from the business with the close
of the present week. The business
will be carried on by Chas. Kupper-
busch, the founder, who for the past
three years has been engaged in the
hotel business at Goodall. Patrons
of the place, and they include pretty
much everybody in the county and a
good share of the travelling public,
will see little difference in this popu-
lar eating house under the change of
management.
Mr.. Kupperbusch has a statewide
and pretty nearly national reputa-
tion as caterer, and his delicious
fried oysters have been talked of the
county over. The people of Palatka,
the county generally, and thousands
of Florida's winter visitors will well
come him back to the old stand with
heartiness that would make an or
binary caterer lofty, but not so with
Charley Kupperbusch. He will go
on cooking oysters and other savory
dishes and piling up wealth in the
same old way.
The retirement of Mr.. James will
be generally regretted. He is a most
popular young man and has worked
hard and faithfully to maintain the
popularity of the European restau-
rant. In this he has succeeded, and
more too, for the business has grown
and prospered under his manage
ment. His retirement is for the pur-
pose of engaging in more congenial
work. He will go next week to Good
all and remain for a month or more'
taking much needed rest.

The Guards Outing.

Company 3D." Second Battalion,
Second Regiment, +. S. II, locally
known as the Gem City Guards" is
having its outing this week at the
state encampment in Jacksonville.
The company left for the encamp-
ment over the Florida East Coast
Railway at 6:l5 Tuesday morning, 43
strong, in command of Capt. f. No
BILE Calhoun, and Lieutenants j. f.
Bulky and r. E. Neck.
On the evening previous the COM
pany gave an exhibition drill at the
Armory to II large crowd of specta-
tors. This, with competitive drill,
followed with Il dance, wound up the
evenings festivities for the guests
The competitive drill for the gold
medal was won by Sergeant Ralph
Rankin, much to the qualification of
all. The dance was one of the most
successful affairs ever given in the
Armory. There was also an inspec-
ton by Commissary General H. M.
de Montmollin of the genersl staff.
The company was at its best.
Many old citizens who in former
wears had been prominent in military
circles, as members and officers of
the Guards, were heard to remark
that the present company made as
fine an appearance as any ever as
sembled in the city. That is saying
much, in view of the fact that the
Guards a few years ago were COLI
sidered the "crack" military organi-
cation in the state.
Lemonade and cake was served
during the evening free to all. 1t
was the Guards treat and everybody
enjoyed it.
The boys spent the night in~ the
Armory. They didn't sleep over
much, for there was too much of the
boy spirit on tap. They looked a
little weary next morning as they
took the train. After they get into
the camp with it's hard routine OF
drill and other military work it is
probable that more care will be
taken to profit by the hours set apart
for rest.
Palatka can afford to be proud of
its military company and this, too,
in advance of any compliments
which will be paid it by the COM
manding officers at the state encamp-
! ment.

Bigamist Patterson's Scheme.


Patterson the bigamist awaiting
trial at the county Jail Matched a
scheme of escape last week but the
scheme didn't pan out well. Fred
Herring, a young white convict was
discharged from the jail last Friday
Before quitting the city he sue
ceeded in passing file in to Patter-
son hid in IL loaf of coffee cake
With this file Patterson hoped to
secure his liberty, and he might
have done so had the file not been
discovered. Herring was suspected
of passing the file to Patterson, but
he had left the city. Sheriff Howell
telegraphed his description to Jack
sonville where he was arrested. He
was brought back.
On Tuesday before Justice Row.
ton, Herring acknowledged that he
had secured the file for Patterson
who had given him quarter with
which to purchase it and an extra
dollar for himself. Herring has
been committed to Jail to stand trial
on charge of, attempting to aid q
prisoner to escape.

Death of Mrs. McGrady.

News was received in Palatka on
Wednesday evening of the death OF
Mrs. o. G. McGrady, relict ofthe late
o. G. McGrady, in his day one of the
most influential farmers and fruit
growers of the FruitIand peninsula,
and a daughter of the late Judge
Morrow, who will be remembered by
all old citizens of the county as one
of the county's grand old men.
Mrs. McGrady, whose home was
near Crescent City, was stricken with
paralysis some two weeks ago, since
which time she steadily declined.
Her death occurred last Tuesday
night. She will be mourned by a
large family of grown sons and
daughters and the entire neighbor-
hood in which she so long had resi-
dence and where her influence was
always ennobling.

All Glad He Prefers PalatSsa.

All Glau TIC EfeIefS 4 diduhds
1t was rulnored on the streets Mon
day that Rev. John O'Brien, for the
past ten years the popular pastor OF
ST. Nonicas Catholic church in this
city, had received an order from
Bishop Kenny, transferring him
from the pastorate of St Monicas to
the church in Orlando.
The rumor created considerable
stir here, not alone among Catholics
but among the people of all creeds,
for Father O'Brieu is very popular
citizen of Palatka, independent OF
his high standing as a priest, and the
idea of his leaving the city was
not taken to kindly.
When seen regarding the matter
Father O'Brien stated to the News
that he had received such an order
from the bishop, but that he had
written him regarding it and eX-
pressing the wish that he be allowed
to remain in Palatka.
Father Fox, the pastor at Orlan-
do said Father O'Brien, ''has been
appointed to the church in Fernan-
dina to fill a vacancy caused by the
removal of the Fernandina pastor 10
the st. Augustine Cathedral. Or
lando is considered IL promotion from
Palatka, and as | am next in line OF
promotion TO Father Fox, presume
the letter from the bishop, which Is
official, is not necessarily mandatory
but in line of his policy to promote
priests in the diocese in the order of
seniority"
Father O'Bren further stated that
in some respects the work in Orlando
might be more agreeable than in Pa
latka. The church there was out of
debt. But as he had been instru-
mental in getting the parish here in
debt (for the new church), he did not
feel like abandoning the burden OF
its liquidation to another. Further
more that he liked Paiatka and its
people, and that he was quite content
to stay.
Father O'Brien left for Jackson
vile Tuesday evening, but before
leaving he received reply from the
bishop acknowledging the business
of his reasons and permitting him to
continue as pastor of st. Monicas.
During his passionate here Father
O'Brien has added much to the value
of his church property. The beauti
full church was built under his ad.
ministration and had it not been fol
the disastrous freezes of eight and
four years ago the debt on the prop.
erty would long since have beer
wiped out. Like a faithful soldier
he desires to remain by his post, al
least until the work started under
his leadership has been completed.
1t will be agreeable news to the
people, of Palatka, irrespective o.
creed,to know that Father O'Brier
is still to continue his good work il
our city.

Looks Like Business.

For the past ten days an extra force
has been at work in the stockroom of
the Fearnside Clothing Company in
unpacking the great boxes of new
fall and winter clothing, furnishings,
shoes and hats. All this week the
available space in the store is being
filled with the new goods.
Mr.. Fearnside was seen in the
midst of them Wednesday, marking
and sorting.
ut will be impossible" said he,
for me to prepare a new advertise
ment for the News this week, but /
do want the News to tell the people
that the Fearnside Clothing Co. is
strictly in it, this season withheld,
did you ever see such an array of
goods in PalatEa before? This is the
biggest thing in clothing ever in this
town. We'er going to sell 'em, too.
Just anticipating the prosperity wave
by few weeks It's coming and
we get here first.
Mr.. Fearnside further explained
that the stock embraced all grades
of goods from the low priced to the
very finest and that all represented
the choicest obtainable goods, as to
fabric and style, in their respective
classes.
He also stated that what was true
of his clothing stock applied with
equal force in the gentlemen's furn-
ishings, hat and shoe departments.
The special prices on light weight
goods, noted in the Fearnslde Com
pany's advertisement will continue
a few days longer.

Mayor Steen has issued instruc-
tions that after the 18th inst. all
weeds growing on sidewalks and in
vacant lots must be cut down; and
that all who do not comply with this
order will be prosecuted under the
ordinance. The mayor states that
it would be good thing if the coun-
ell would order the streets cleaned
and thus set an example of eompli-
anee with the ordinance that would
have wholesome effect upon private
property owners,
