Hafer's Sub-Tropic for September
has been issued and is this week be-
ing scattered to all points of the
compass throughout the United
States-and to every man whose
name can be obtained who has his
eye on Florida as a place of possible
settlement.
The little paper is filled to the
neck with valuable information OF
the state with Palatka and Putnam
county as the central and most gen.
orally resourceful point. There are
also numerous half-tOne pictures
illustrating what has been done
about this section in the way of trucl
gardening.
The paper is bound to prove 6
potent factor in the development o.
Putnam county and its editor is tt
be commended for the conservative
way in which he has grouped ant
stated facts.
Hafer is an optimist regarding
the future of Florida, but when he
goes into print he is careful to state
that great agricultural achievements
here, as elsewhere, are only possible
as the result of intelligent work
Nature has given us everything il
the way of aids to splendid successes
but man must do his part-with hi.

New Putnam County Colony.

New Putnam County Colony.
The Fitzerald Investment Com
pany of indianapolis, Ind, has pur-
chased several thousand acres in the
western part of This county, on the
line of the G. S q +. R'y., on which
will establish colony of north
ern people.
The managers of the Georgia
Southern d Florida Railroad COM
pany have agreed to drill an artesian
well on the lands of the colony, the
same to be used for sub-irrigation
purposes for the first 100 acres that
are put in cultivation. This is one
of the greatest inducements ever
offered by a railroad company for
parties to take an interest in colony
settlement. BY this method crops
of all kinds can be grown most of the
year round, whether it rains or not.
The soil in the section is the best for
general agricultural purposes to be
found in Florida.
The Fitzgerald company is strong
and thoroughly reliable company
the same that built up aud settled
the town of Fitzerald, in Georgia,
and that it has been attracted to Put
nam county speaks volumes for the
hidden wealth that lies in our soil.
1t also means long step forward fol
the future development of this part
of Florida.
The coming winter will witness a
great influx of settlers to Florida
and every year will see the tribe in
creased.
The Fitzgerald company was To-
Gated in Putnam county by F. Fl
Hafer of this city.

AT the regular meeting of the
Board of County Commissioner, on
Tuesday, but little business of a
general nature was transacted. The
time of the Commissioners being
consumed listening to petitions for
roads, ETC., most of which We're either
turned down or referred-to members
for report and future action. The
full board was present.
Tax Collector, "A. S. Willard, rem
dered his final accounting of collect
ions made during the year and the
statement is made that it showed the
closest collection made before in
years. Out of total roll for county
purposes of over $4,000, all but a
little over 5000 was collected and
paid over. Mr.. Willard is being con-
graduated on his thorough work.

School Board Meeting.

The regular monthly meeting of
the county school board was held at
the court house on Tuesday, with
Chairman Hilburn presiding, and
inspectors l.. K. Tucker and Laban
Price, and Supt. Cottingham present.
The board reconsidered its action
of last month disseminating the
school at Johnson and uniting it
with the Edgar school, by reversing
its action, doing away with the
school at Edgar and re-establishing
both at Johnson.
A resolution was passed giving 81
per month for actual attendance of
all pupils carried to school when
parents are actually unable to get
them to school otherwise, and where
pupils reside two or more miles from
the school, but no such allowance
is to be made for transportation I'M
til application has first been made to
the board and that body decides that
such relief is necessary.

Home From AnnapoIis.

Midshipman William Loundes
Calhoun Of the U, S. Naval Acad-
env, Annapolis, arrived in the city
Wednesday morning on n months
leave of absence for visit to the
home OF his parents, Hon. and Mrs
B. P. Calhoun.
Midshipman Calhoun has gotten
through his hardest year-the year
of hazing and trials incident to the
freshman course--and he comes
through, not only none the worse for
the wear, but if anything more geni-
al, bouyant, vigorous and determined
to reach the heights in his chosen
career. He was always a popular
young man in Palatka, and his home
coming is not alone delight TO his
family but all the people of the city,
who like the sparkle of his eye, and
the something back of it which-be-
tokens the true grit of an American
admiral

w. S. Middleton of Pomana was in
town on Tuesday and attended the
entertainment at the Armory. Mr..
Middleton has but recently joined
the local military company and not
withstanding the fact of his residing
out of town which is a great handi
cap to his regular attendance at the
meetings of the company, is becom-
ing very efficient in drilling and in
the performance of the routine dut-
les of soldier.
Horace Prior of Como one of the
best-known and popular citizens of
the peninsula was in the city yester
day. Mr.. Prior has been engaged in
the stock and meat business for
many years, and since the freeze has
made it specially, but in about two
weeks he expects to retire from it
and devote his whole time to his ex-
tensive orange grove interests. Mr..
Prior has six or seven hundred boxes
of fruit this year and unless some
thing unforeseen happens his grove
will be n heavy bearer in another
year.

A Great Success. .

One of the largest and best natur-
ed crowds ever brought togeth-
er at benefit in this city was that
at the Armory on Tuesday night in
attendance upon the concert, dance
and exhibition drill given under the
auspices of the Palatka Citizens
Band. Fully 400 people were pres
ent all of whom enjoyed themselves
immensely. To say that the affair
proved a financial success would not
be doing it full justice-it was a social
success as we'll.
The concert was rendered in a
pleasing manner by the band as the
opening number on the program and
then the Gem City Guards, under
the able and efficient command of
Capt. f Noble Calhoun, entered the
hall and went through the field man.
ouvers in splendid style. The exhi-
bition drill for the gold medal was a
special feature of the entertainment,
and in which every member in ranks
participated This contest was very
pleasing to the spectators. Corporal
Herbert Vinegar and Private Ernest
Neck were the two last on the floor
the latter being the lucky one.
Judge Davis had promised to make
a speech during the evening, but tC
the deep regret of all, he was indis.
posed and unable to be present.
There We're sixteen numbers on the
dance program, and it was sometime
after II o'clock when the last one
was finished and the crowd began tt
leave.
Refreshments We're sold during The
evening and netted quite nice sum
There was an abundance of gooC
things for all, and to spare, and {
number of nice cakes were put up a
auction and sold for a song. Thu
ladies had charge of this department
and rendered valuable services il
contributing to the success of thu
evenings entertainment.
The netproceeds amounted to som,
= thing over $40. Good for the band!

der claps, was one OF the most severe
ever known in the place.
