Tendency of the Times.

The tendency of medical science is 10 ward preventive measures. The best thought of the world is being given to the subject. IL is easier and better to prevent than to cure. It has been fully demon. strated that pneumonia, one of the most dangerous diseases that medical men have to contend with, can be prevented by the use Of Chamberlain s Cough Remedy Pneumonia always results from a cold or from an attack of influenza (grip. and il has been observed tha this remedy coun- teracts any tendency of these diseases to. ward pneumonia. This has been 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
 implicit confidence. Pneumonia often re. suits from slight cold when no danger is apprehended untl 1t is suddenly discover ed that there is fever and difficulty in breathing aud pains in the chest, then it IS announced that the patient has pneu- monia. Be on the safe side and take Chamberlain's $ Cough Remedy as soon as the cold IS contracted. It always cures. For sale by J r Sanders

ward, Joseph ID. Points; 4th ward
Tom Holden; 9TH wald, VIM. lvers;
9th ward, E. r. Holmes; 9TH ward, +.
o. Livingston.
The only changes over last year are
in the office of mayor and those OF
aldermen in the fourth and sixth
ward.
DR.. A. NJ. Steen, the retiring may
or, has been all efficient and active
executive official. lie has been the
mayor Of Palatka not alone in name
but in fact. He has been n leader OF
thought for municipal Improvement,
and while not able to accomplish
much, the fault is not his. He gives
place to Mr.. Vickers, who, though
new and untried in municipal mat
ters, will nevertheless be favorable
to the advancement of PalatBa.
Alderman Usina's retirement from
the council will be greatly regretted
by many. Mr.. Usina has done valu-
able work as chairman of the street
committee, and it is doubtful if am
other man can be found who will
give TO that work the time and study
which has characterized his incum-
bency OF the place. MI Holden, his
successor from the Fourth ward, is a
leading business man of the city and
will be found valuable member of
the council.
T.. II. Holmes is n cOlored man and
his constituency of the Sixth ward is
made up almost wholly of members
of his own race.
The Office of city clerk, tax assess
GRAND collector, as well as city treas
urer and municipal judge are filled
by appointment of the council. The
first three have been combined and
are filled by j. N. Blackwell in q
highly satisfactory manner, and it is
not likely he will have any OppOsi-
tion for the place. FL. Fearnside is
the city treasurer and Judge e. e.
Haskell is the municipal judge. Both
will probably be reappointed.

win Omen in jacksonville.

John T. Bond the well-known and
enterprising Lemon street racket
store man has made arrangements to
open a branch store in Jacksonville
on the I'd of May.
He has secured the store on w.
Bay street atpresent occupied by r.
j. Rifles. This is in the busiest part OF
Jacksonville.
Before going Mr.. Bond has deter
mined to close out at least half of his
big Palatka stock in order to raise
money. To do this he has made a
big cut on seasonable goods, these
cuts are enumerated in his big adj
vertisement and make interesting
reading to interested parties.
