Il. A. Deal Becomes Palatka
Agent for A. G. l..

Benz. A. Deal for the past several
years Superintendent of the Plant
System Hospital at Waycross, Ga.
was, on the first of the present week,
checked in as local agent of the At
lantic Coast Line in place of Geo. g.
Groom, who goes to Ocala.
Mr.. Deal needs no introduction to
the people of Palatka, where he is
well-known and popular with all
classes. Previous to his appoint
ment to the superintendency of the
Plant System Hospital in Waycross,
he lived in Palatka, where he was
the general auditor of the old Florida
Southern Railway. He is said to be
one of the best all-round railroad
men in Florida, and his appointment
brings general satisfaction to our
people. He was a sOnlin-law of the
late Geo. w Pratt, the pioneer
journalist of this city.
Mr.. Deal, who has been in the city
some days, has secured the Heating
residence and has occupied it with
his family.

H. A. Hodges senior of the firm of
Hodges q O'Hara, saw mill operators
and tug owners of Buffalo Bluff, has
decided to change his residence from
Satsuma Heights to Jacksonville.
Architects are now engaged on plans
for a new residence he is to have
built in Springfield suburb of that
city, and the change will be made as
soon as the new home is made ready
for occupancy.
Mr.. Hodges is as well-known in Pal
atka as any of our most prominent
citizens, his business having required
his almost daily presence here for
many years, and his removal from
the county will be a matter of gene
raj regret.
Mr.. Hodges says that Mr.. O'Hara
will attend to the mill business and
he will have charge of the boat in
terests, and that these can be best
looked after in Jacksonville. He
does not expect to move before late
in the spring.

The Band Begins Practice.

New enthusiasm is being infused
into the Palatka Citizens Band, mas
much as the organization is getting
down to real hard practice again.
The band met and had rehearsal
in Manager Kelly's establishment,
Front street, on Monday night. 1t is
presumed the band is getting in trim
for the Inauguration of the weekly
concertsf which, all through the past
summer afforded music loving cit
liens so much pleasure. 1t might be
we'll to stated that the band has
not received the support from the
town that it confidently expected,
and so well deserved, but has had to
pay its own expenses, even that of
lighting the stand on concert nights,
not to mention other and larger
items of expense. The few enter
tainments that have been given for
the benefit of the organization at
various times have not tended to add
greatly to it's financial condition, so
it can be seen that the band has been
hoeing hard row of stumps. Pal
aka cannot afford to be without
II musical organization of this kind,
and what the News 50 earnestly de-
sires to see, is that the people wake
up to the realization of just what
they owe for their music and pay it,
cheerfully, and their loyalty will be
repaid a hundredfold by many a
pleasant evening of mirth and music.

Death of Cook CarIeton.

After an illness of two years, dur
ing the last six months of viii h
death has been standing at the door
threatening entrance, Cook Carleton,
for 30 years an honored and useful
citizen of Palatka, died on Wednes-
day evening, Jan. 2Sth, at the home
of Mrs. Metcalf
Mr.. Carleton came to Putnam coun-
ty from New York state some 30
years ago and settled on homestead
near Como. Later he came to Palat-
ka, where he has since resided, and
where he has been a familiar figure
in business circles and for much of
the time an important factor in fin
ancial affairs.
Mr.. Carleton served for a time as
purser on the Ocklawaha river
steamers under the late Col. Hart
He was afterwards county tax col
leetor, and during the incumbency
of that office by Joseph Price, was for
four years deputy collector. Later
he was cashier of the old Palatka
National bank, which did business
in the rooms row occupied by the
Palatka News. About IA years ago
he started in the abstract business,
IN which he continued until the pur-
chase of that business by Judge E
K. Haskell about a year ago.
Al one time Mr.. Carleton was the
possessor of considerable property in
this city. He built the Saratoga
hotel, and had many financial inter-
ests. His property, however, was
swept away through unfortunate
speculation. He was a good citizen
and thoroughly upright man. His
word was a bond.
The funeral which occurred from
F. A. Gerb & Sons under liking es
tablishment yesterday afternoon, was
conducted by the Masonic fraterni-
ty of which deceased was an honored
member.
Mr.. Carleton leaves no family. His
only surviving relative so far as is
known here being sister who resides
in New York. His death removes
one of the conspicuous figures in the
life of old Palatka, and there is
mourning in the city for the depart
ure of one of Gods noblemen.

For CoIds-La Grippe f!

Protect yourself, and don't trust to
Providence. Considering the harm
done, neglect" before and after taking
a cold is physical crime. You may
prevent cold, or, if too late, you can
insure yourself against the "after eff

by using DIR. Harter's Iron Tonic. Few
die from Colds, or La Grippe, or Ca
tarrh. They die of the after effects.
These diseases all weaken, and to
weakened body come flocking a host of
diseases that fasten on weak lungs,
heart, stomach, kidneys, and other
weak parts that we seldom think of.
The easiest and best thing to do is to
fortify the system so that you will not
catch cold, but if too late to do that,
then you must see that no lasting in
jury is done. Medical authorities all
agree that iron is the fighting element of
the blood enabling the system not only
to ward off disease, but to fight it after

CATTLE RECEIPTS LIGHT


Kansas City, Mo-, March 24.-Re-
ceipts of quarantines last week were
light, although showing q small in
crease over the previous week.
Unfavorable weather coalitions in
Texas kept the run from there
down. A large proportion of stock
ers and feeders in the native divis-
Ion kept prices for fat steers steady
all week, with very little fluctuation
from day 20 day. Most of the arri-
walls on Texas side were fed steers,
which sold readily at steady prices.
The COW famine continues on the
southern side, but should any ar
rive, prices are 10 to 20 cents lower
than week ago. Bulls also show
little weakness. Gamers sell
slow.
The total run today is light at
5 900 head, decrease of 5000 from
last Monday. Supply of quaran-
tines is about the same as last Mon
day, around 40 cars. Lower reports
from the east failed to cause a de-
cline here, owing to moderate run.

A HELPFUL SERVANT.
The Convenience and Economy of .
Small Gasoline Engine On
the Farm.

I have frequently spoken OF farm
shops and gasoline engines for farmers
work | am just now running all my
poor apples through a home made cider
mill, and the power is furnished by a
small gasoline engine, largely home
constructed-at an expense OF about 500.
The power furnished is about two
horsepower. This engine will furnish
power to saw ordinary wood for stoves;
it will grind grain and bones, and do
nearly all the jobs about the farm that
take a good deal of time If done by hand
work. 1t is not large enough for silO
work. The engine Is easily managed
by a boy, and, in fact, furnishes an i'm
mense amount Of pleasure to lad who
has any taste for machinery. 1t adds
a Zest to work The idea that 1t Is dim
cult to run such an engine is mistake.
My boys have arrange the igniting OF
the engine by an electrical spark. The
cost of running Is about one gallon OF
gasoline for ten hours for each horse
power The cost Of running my engine
to cover wood saving, grinding and
cider making for the year has not ex-
is the readiness with which scythes can
be ground, hoes sharpened and all OF the
farm tools kept in keen working order.
A large farm would require an engine
rom four to six horsepower, possibly
an eight horse power No one ever sees
the little machine in operation without
expressing pleasure and surprise II
has led TO the setting up OF good many
others, not only on farms, but in meat
shops. ice cream factories. etc. In fact,
the use Of the gasoline engine and It's
general value can hardly be overesi-
mated. | should say that It stood for
at least one hired man, and that in some
cases II would be equivalent to two or
three When connected with lathe. 1t
will accomplish a great deal OF mend
ing OF tools and other repairs, which
would make the saving in single year
cover all the cost Of the engine. Case
line should be bought by the barrel and
stored at such a distance from buildings
that insurance Will not be vitiated.
There are ways Of wasting good deal
Of gasoline, and this tudcious farm
or will look out for need not add that
a careless farmer has no business with
an engine. A man who let's his tools
AXE care OF themselves, who is careless
about oling and reckless about running
will soon get into some sort OF expensive
trouble It would probably be best to
have a separate building for your en-

THE MEANING OF MUSIC.
Tones Have Their specthc express
sions just as Much as
spoken Words.

Music is a science more exact than
most people suppose" said violinist,
reports the Philadelphia Ledger. You
can't, for instance, say different things
with the same tones in music any more
than you can say different things with
the same words in English or French.
Black means black in English; never
under any circumstances can 1t mean
white In the same way. in music, q
major third expresses an Interrogation
or an appeal, never anything else, and
this appealing quality becomes exceed
ingly marked in the fourth descending,
while the fourth ascending advances
from Interrogation to affirmation and
finally to command. Major and minor
fifths travel by regular gradations from
prayer to desire, and from desire to
menace. Sixths express passon-all
love music Is written in sixths. To
semi-tone higher, and this love. this
passion, becomes painful, an en-
nous, an ill-starred one Seventies ex-
press grief. tragedy. Perhaps you think
| am exaggerating here but | assure
you am not. What claim you will
find claimed in many treatses on mu-
sic. and If you will study the works OF
the composers. you will find that they.
too, bear me out"
