Harris Circus.

The ever popular Harris Nickel
Plate shows came to town. Friday
ind gave two excellent performances
which were well attended, both af-
ternoon and night.
This is probably the best old fash
iOned, one ring circus now on the
road. Mrs. Harris, the widow of the
late w. II. Harris, and proprietress
Of the shows, is the only woman in
the world successfully running a
circus.
Her motto, as was her husbands,
is mot how much, but how good, y
and it has always BEEN the aim OF
the management to keep the per-
formances up to the standard set
when the shows were first organized
in 1888.
That they have succeeded this
year was we'll demonstrated Friday
when all of the acrobats, riders,
aerialists, dogs, ponies and clowns
received round after round of APP
plause.

The DeSOto County News, of Ar
cadia, makes the following sensible
observations on the question of the
United States Senatorship:
Recognizing the precedent estab-
lished by the democratic party that Il
faithful public servant deserves and
should receive q second term at the
hands of the people, the News has
waited to hear reasons advanced why
this established precedent should not
prevail in the case of Senator Talia-
ferro, who is a candidate to succeed
himself. 1t is admitted that during
his first term, which is now drawing
to a close, Senator TaliaferrO, in con-
junction with the states other repre-
sentatives in the national Legislature,
has accomplished much for Florida.
That his vote has been recorded in
every instance in accordance with
the policies and principles Of the
great democratic party when such
is also admitted.
1.-The tive principal aspirants for
the position now held by Mr.. Talia-
ferro are Governor w. S. Jennings
and Hon. John N. G. Stockton, both
of whom the News entertains the
highest personal regard for as repre-
sentative citizens of the state. But
this paper has not yet seen any
plausible reason advanced why Sena-
tor Taliaferro should be supplanted
in the United States Senate by either
of these gentlemen, and it takes it
for granted that the campaign is now
sufficiently advanced for his oppo-
nents to have placed before the public
their every claim for the office.
Senator Taliaferro has very prop
erly announced for reelection upon
his record, and it has not been sue
cessfully shown that this record has
not been creditable to the state and
to himself; and the people, in their
intelligence and sound judgment will
not be misled by Interpretations and
Misrepresentation of that record.
In their sense of justice they will ac-
cord fair and impartial hearing to
all the aspirants now before the peo-
pie, and, unless reasons are shown
which have not yet been advanced
they will be slow to retire to private
life public servant who has been
faithful to the best interests of the
state, contrary to an established pre-
cedent, simply to crafty the aspira-
tions of over-ambitious gentlemen. "

Our FilthY Streets.

1t certainly is a matter of great
import to citizens who make town
to see that the public highways are
kept clean. There is no greater me-
mace to the public health than filthy
streets. The most honorable fathers
of the city of Palatla would only be
doing their duty if they at leas!
made some attempt to clean the
streets. No progress is possible in
any community when the citizens
give away their powers to body of
men who are unable to exercise
them. Business prosperity depends
on how the merchants of u city rally
20 the support of all movements
which will better the condition Of
the place they do business in. Those
who worship the almighty dollar
would double the number of adorers
atthe shrine if they would but show
that by the use of money improve
ments could be made.
Rumor has it that there is money
lying idle in the city treasury, and
while it lies there inactive, dread
disease rears its awful head in our
midst-the health of all are endan-
gered because those who are in
tended to serve the public veal are
faithless to the trust.
Citizens! arouse yourselves before
it is too late Agitate clean streets; /;
force your servants who hold public
office to do your bidding, and save,
while there is yet time, the health of
our fair community.
Cutters full of water with green
slime on top, waste paper choking
up the main street, and with the ad-
vent of spring weeds of noxious kinds
growing high IN the center of the
highways, these are conditions which
call for action quick aud lasting. Up
citizens. and act

Obituary..

Though not unexpected, our city
was saddened last Friday morning
when it was learned that Miss Lille
Anderson had passed away. The
struggle between life and death had
been long and severe one. 1t was
borne with characteristic fOrtitude.
All that loving hearts could devise
and loving hands could perform was
done for her, but the time for the
transition was at hand. Miss Lille
was the daughter of the late General
Patton and Mrs. Eta A. Anderson.
She was born in Monticello, and
later lived with her parents in Mem
phis, Tenn, and then in Morganfield
Ky. For the past several years her
home has been with her mother and
sister in Palatka. 1t is scarcely too
much to say that there is hardly one
in the entire community more loved
than she was. The reason is not far
to seek-she was loved because she
was lovable. AS a teacher in the
Sunday school and in the city schools
she has left the impress of her strong
character upon minds. The funeral
services were held at the Presby-
terian church on Saturday at 2:3t
p. M, conducted by her pastor, Rev
L..R Lynn, after which she was laid
to rest in Oak Hill cemetery. The
bercaved family have the sympathy
of the entire community. l.. r. l..

WHITE HOUSE STABLES.
The First of Them Was Destroyed
by the British Troops.

The First of Them Was Destroyed
by the British Troops.
The original White House stable was
located about sixty yards south of the
White House, in which are now the
private grounds of the executive man
sion, and was the first thing destroyed
when the British captured the White
House during the war of 1912. Presi-
dents Monroe and Adams kept their
horses at a livery stable, and when
General Jackson came to the White
House he had a stable built at point
some distance from the presidential
mansion. This stable was also used for
a time by President Van Buren, but
later he boarded his horses at livery
stable.
President Pierce kept his horses in a
stable which was erected in the White
House grounds at a point comparative
ly but short distance from the man
sion itself. When President Buchanan
came to the White House he had the
stable enlarged. and it was again en-
larged for President Lincoln, who kept
large number of horses. President
johnson also made use of this stable
for his horses and carriages. Up to
Llncoln's time there was no water in
the stable, save the limited supply
obtained from small well, and it was
customary to take the White House
horses to the Potomac river, fully half
mile distant. in order that they might
be watered, and frequently the White
House carriages were taken thither to
be washed.-0utdoor Sport.

| Walter p Watson the democratic
labor candidate for congress from
this district is making about the
cleanest fight of any Of the candi
dates. He is not considered any
where as having any change Of nomi-
nation, but he probably thinks he is
getting his moneys worth in fun
during the canvass.
Speaker Cromwell Gibbons will 90

candidate for National Committee
man from Florida. So far there is
but one other candidate for this
honor-HOn. Jefferson b. BOVINE,
president of the state railroad com
mission. AS Mr.. Browne already
has n post of both honor and profit
it would seem that Gibbons has first
call for the place.
/ The News has pleasure in giving
over a good share of its space this
week to the letter of Senator James
p, Taliafero, and which Specifically
answers, in a clear and dignified
manner, every charge which has
been made against him as U. S. Sen
ator. The News hopes that every
democrat in the county will read
this letter. Putnam county demo-
Gratis are a fair-minded people, and
it is going to take something more
than the unsupported word of a man
whose inordinate ambition for high
Office has caused him to grow careless
in the use of his mouth. Senator
Taliaferro has been faithful to his
party and his people. During the
six years of his term in Office more
has been accomplished for Florida
than in any twenty years of its his
tory. 1t has been the unbroken Gus
tom Of the Democratic party in
Florida to give L. S., senators at least
two terms, and this custom should
not be broken in the case of Senator
TaliaferrO.
