The Advance Movement

Evidence that Palatka and Putnam
county has reached the turning point
which leads from its former depres-
sion is daily accommodating.
Within the past few days parties
looking for investments have been in
Palatka and have invested their
money here. For the past few years
transfers of property have usually
been confined to deals between our
own people. Now the bulk of the
deals are being made to outside part
les.
w. 0. Kibby, of Fitzgerald, Ga,
was here last week with a party and
all were enthusiastic in favor of Pa
latka. Mr.. Kibby himself purchased
from DR.. f. S. Grill the property at
the corner of Oak and Blake streets,
and has secured options on other
property for the benefit of his friends
This is but one instance. There are
dozens of others.

Death of Mrs. White.

Mrs. Charlotte J. White died at
her home, "Sunny Side" in this city
at a late hour last Sunday night. She
had been in feeble health for some
time and the end was not uneX-
pected.
The funeral occurred from her late
home at 10 o'clock Tuesday morning,
the officiating clergyman being Rev.
F. H. Richey of st. Marks Episcopal
church. In the matter of the funeral
Mrs. Whites wishes for a private
funeral ceremony were strictly
carried out. There were none present
save the pallbearers and a few init
mate friends. The interment was at
Oak Hill cemetery. The pallbearers
were DIR. f. S. Grill, DR.. w. II. Ro-
senberg, w. S. Burdett, Henry S.
Wilson, S. ]. Kennerly and George
b. Selden.
Mrs. White came to Palatka in
1866, Just after the close of the wal
between the states as an agent of the
Freedmen's Aid Society, and during
reconstruction days was active in the
education and preparation of the ne.
gro for citizenship. She was in
reality missionary with true phil
anthropic zeal for her work.
She was lady of great benevo'
lence and dispensed charity with 6
free hand. Memory of her many
kind deeds will linger long with the
people of this city.
T 1t has been rumored that Mrs
White had left will bequeathin!
her magnificent home property OF
the river front to the city. This is ,
mistake. That she did have in mine
the transfer of the property to tn,
city for the purpose of a hospital anC
sanitarium is probable, but this wal
not the final disposition of it owinj
to reasons which she considered
good. This property was decided t.
Miss Mary Mulholland, who for man!
wears has been her faithful frient
and companion. The deed of con
: veyance was filed for record with tn
county clerk on Tuesday, Januar.
! 26th last.
Mrs. White was possessed of larg

Has Reduced Debt BY Half.

AS a result of his efforts in behalf
of the temporal affairs of st. MOni-
cas- Catholic church, Rev. Father
Patrick Barry, with the cooperation
of his Pensioners, has just succeed
I'd in paying off one-half of the debt
If $500 which has hung as dark
cloud over the church for some
years.
Father Barry was appointed pas
tor of st. Monica's last October, sue
ceeding Rev. Father John O'Brien,
who was pastor nearly eleven years,
and during whose pastorate the
present magnificent church edifice
was erected. The freeze of '95 came
On after the church was finished and
since that time money getting with
the Catholic congregation as well as
in other churches has been hard
proposition.
Coming into the parish filled with
zeal for his new work, Father Barry
set about to reduce the debt. He
found eight members of the cOngre-
CATION who agreed to contribute 800
each. There were Mrs. f. X. Har-
ris, and Messrs. Martin Griffin, d.
Coughlin, J. J. McTavish, f. j.
O'Hara, j. b. Hazel, M. j. Murphy
and Thos. Mohan. Then there were
few contributions for smaller
amounts, together with the Christ
mas collection of $4,000 and a con-
tribution of $50, by the Wilson Cy-
press company. With this money
Father Barry was enabled to pay
81 900 on the debt the first of the
year. Last week the ladies of the
congregation held a fair in the
Welch building. This netted about
$500 more. Most of which will be
used to reduce the debt.
In addition to a debt reduction OF
81 400 the parish house and church
have been repaired at a cost of Sl3O.
and II has been paid in interest.
Father Barry feels very grateful
to the citizens generally and the
members of the congregation who
have aided in the work and believes
that as result of the effort all will
feel that there is new life and one
of greater usefulness ahead for the
entire parish.

TENDENCY OF THE TIMES.

The tendency of medical science is to-
ward preventive measures. The best
thought of the worl is being given TO
the subject. 1t is easier and better to
prevent than to cure. 1t has been fully
demonstrated that pneumonia, one of
the most dangerous diseases that medi-
cal men have to contend with, can be
prevented by the use of Chamberlain 5
Cough Remedy Pneumonia always re-
suits from cold or from an attack OF
influenza grip, and il mas been observed
that this remedy counteracts any ten
dency of these diseases toward pneumo-
MIA. This has boen fully proven In
many thousands of cases in which this
remedy has been used during the great
prevalence of colds and grip In recent
years, and can be relied upon with i'm
plicit confidence. Pneumonia often re-
suits from slight cold when no danger
is apprehended until 1t is suddenly dis.
covered that there Is fever and difficulty
In breathing and pains in the chest
then 1t Is announced that the patient has
pneumonia. Be on the safe side and
taks Chamberlain's Cough Remedy as
soon as the cold Is contracted. II al

white man and has long been known
to the police as one who finds his
chief Joy in cOnsorting with niger
harlots, has for four years been the
trusted lieutenant of Mr.. Carraway.
1t is charged that he stole big lot
of goods from the store and that in
the night he arranged with A. j..
Dent, a negro fish dealer on Lemon
street, to drive out to Carraway,
bring in the goods and deliver them
at the house of Nora Nowlan. The
goods Were brought in by Dent We'd
nesday night, and between | and
O'Clock Thursday morning delivered
at Nora's house, The woodsman at
Carraway discovered the theft and
rode into town and reported to the
police and Sheriff Howell. The
Sheriff arrested Dent who acknowl-
edged delivering the good. He then
went to the Nolan woman's home,
was refused entrance, and thereupon
broke in, finding the missing goods,
Jackson and the woman were then
arrested, the latter on charge of re-
ceiving stolen goods.
A preliminary hearing was given

against Jackson and there should b,

5 conviction. Men of his rugged hab-
Tits of degeneracy always appear a
, their best in the penitentiary.

CIRCUS DAY COMES SOON.
Only a Few More Days Until the
Wallace Show Comes.

The date for Chanute is only few
days ahead. The Great Wallace
Show being advertised to appear here
for one day only on Saturday May 81.
"Clrcus Day" is so universally well
coined by the average being, called
human that it has come to be treated
as a holiday in whatsoever place the
big show pitches its tent.
This city Is not immune from the
circus fever and especially when the
popular Wallace Show visits here In
which event the keys Of the city are
practically turned over to the show.
Without casting any reflection upon
the merits of other shows, it can he
said that upon its former visits here
the Wallace Show always gave the
very best of satisfaction. The liberal
applause given almost continually
during its performances eclipsed the
applause eyer gwen any other circus.
The Wallace Show is truly great
one, and judging from the comments
of the press this year, 1t is better and
greater than ever this season.
A few days more and the Wallace
Show will have arrived on its special
trains, and its city Of white tents will
spring up as if by magic. Its mag
nlficent street parade will traverse
the principal streets of the city the
galloping music of its several bands
and calliope will be heard, and the
children, youth, and other people will
spend the day with their circus
