Will Make s Good Commits
SiOupr,

Il. &. Canova, proprietor of the
Palatka ice works, and one of the
solid, conservative business men Of
this city, has been persuaded to an
nOunce his candidacy for the office
of county commissioner from District
No 2.
Like the great majority of success
full business men, Mr.. CanOva did
not relish the idea ofmaking the race
for political office, and he has been
| induced to make announcement
against his personal desire. Mem
bership on the board OF county COM
missionrrs is n work of sacrifice
to men whose private interests de-
mand all their time. But all citi-
zens are aware that busy and sue
cessful business men make ideal
managers of the public business.
Now that Mr., Canova has given
his consent to become Il candidate,
he says he will enter the contest
cheerfully. But there Will be no
contest. The business lnen and citi-
Zens of Palatka will he perfectly
satisfied with Mr.. CamoVa. They
know the interests of the county will
receive the benefit Of his business
wisdom and experience. Thcy all
know him to lie n progressive man
who will act within the bounds of
business eXpcdiency The whole
county will be the richer for his SER
vices.
Chairman Fearnside, Of the present
board, has for II long time privately
declared that he could not, for bust
ness reasons, afford to be Il candi-
date again, and that he would not be
And while many will regret his de
cision, there will be universal salts
faction in the knowledge that he is
to be succeeded by one so eminentIy
fit, both by business training and a
comprehensive knowledge of the re-
quirements of the place, as is by
by Mr.. CanOva.

Death of j. L. Brown.

j. II. Brown died suddenly on Sun
day night. Not all will recognize
the man by name but all will remem.
ber the little, old, drawn-up figure
which has been familiar to towns
people and visitors alike for more
than a decade. He was the first man
on Lemon street in the morning and
he stayed about town all day, doing
whatever odd jobs came his way.
And when he wasn't running an er-
rand, like enough he sat half doing,
Lhead bent forward, in some doorway
You remember him? Yes? Well
that was J. II. Brown.
"Or ever the silver cord be loOsed.' ,
"Then shall the dust return to the
earth as it was; and the spirit shall
return unto God who gave it,
Brown had a spirit. If you evel
talked with him long you didn't fail
to discover it. The spirit was some
what broken in late years. Now the
silver cord which bound it to earth
is loosed. Brown is dead.
But turn back 43 years. The
Brown of that time was not the
broken-spirited Brown known in Pa
latka. He was young man then
and the times were hot. There was
something doing then that required
real men to do it. Brown was II real
man. He enlisted in company &C"
of the Fifteenth South Carolina In
fantry. Men vino remember some
thing about that war of 6l-5 say the
Fifteenth South Carolina was regi-
ment of fighting devils. Brown was
one of them He risked his life, and
his body was shot into What for?
The Lost Cause.
Brown was hero then. So. wht n
you are considering his release, try
and think of the old man as he was
before his spirit was broken by long
hours of suffering in field hospitals
and before his life was ruined by
drugs administered to relieve painful
wounds received in battle-a fate
worse than death.
Rev. a. l.. Woodward held short
service at the late home of this old
Confederate veteran Monday, and
said prayer that went up to the
Throne of Mercy. Then Comrades
H. Y. Snow, John G. Ballou, Jos. d,
Points, b. f. Hedges, Geo. w. Hall
and J. f. Marshall picked up the
coffin containing the dust of the little
grizzled veteran and helped it on
its way to the war veterans lot in
Oak Hill cemetery, whether it was
followed by faithful wife, some old
| friends and the veterans of the Blue
and Gray, of which Brown was q
member. At the grave another short
service was held, after which Com
rade Parrot sounded taps.

Pick Your Congressman.

The Second District congressional
candidate will address the citizens of
Palatka and Putnam county in this
city next Monday night. The meet
ing will take place in the court house
lot, and the speeches will be made
| from the rOstrum made famous by
the eloquence of our own James NJ
Ches tr and others not so eloquent,
in the campaign of two years ago.
There should be big crowd out to
hear these gentlemen. The chances
are there will be something doing.
The speakers will be J. NJ. Bars,
Frank Clark, James f. Alexander,
Charles Dougherty and Walter ?
Watson.
Bars is a trust buster by profess
sion. He wakes warm and wroth
when he considers such awful evils
as the subsidized press-especially
when the other fellows happen to
get in the first crack ut the subsi-
doozling process. Bars is II warm
proposition, and worth hearing on
general principles.
Clarke is Il finished orator. He
may make some interesting charges
against Bars, but he will do it in Il
suave, sweet way that will make
them cut all the deeper. His speech
will be the best campaign effort Of
the year from an oratorical and lit
erary standpoint.
DOugherty is dignified speaker at
times, and otherwise at other times
He is an old campaigner, and the in
terest in his speech is going to de-
pend largely on how the ginger in
him gets stirred.
James f.. Alexander is always en-
tertaining. He is a professional
'iollier," and u man with an ambi-
ton to break into congress so that he
can serve his friends-the people Of
Florida. He wants to do something
for everybody.
Walter p. Watson is locomotive
engineer whose home is at Orlando.
He is said to be Il dignified man who
is taking Il most serious view of his
candidacy,
The people of this county, if they
have any decided preferences for
congressman, have thus far kept
them quiet. The chances are that
the majority of our people have yet
to make up their minds for whom
they will ballot. The meeting of
next Monday night should help
them to a decision.

An Entertainment of Merit.

That the promised entertainment
being arranged by Mrs. Martin Grif-
fin for the benefit of st. MOnica's
church, on the evening of Monday,
April 4th, will be one of the best of
the season, is generally predicted by
all who have been made acquainted
with its proposed features.
Among the musical artists who
will appear may be mentioned Mrs.
Marie Smith-Sanguinette, of Cincin-
natl, Mr.. J. F. Dugan, the we'll
known basso, and Miss Adele Smith,
of Jacksonville. Miss Ilah Bond,
the accomplished violinist of this
city, will also appear.
In addition to the musical num-
bers, Mr. Allen Holton, of San Ma
teo, general Palatka favorite in
dramatic readings and impersona-
tions, will appear, as will also little
Miss Nellie Brotherton, the child
impersonator. of Jacksonville.
The program is such as will insure
a apacked house. The general admis-
sion to the concert has been fixed at
90 cents, this to include seat reser-
vations, diagrams for which will be
at Ackerman d Stewards.

Guards Endorse Gen. Foster.

The voters of Putnam County:
We take this means of calling to
your attention the fact that at the
coming primary we shall be
called upon to nominate candidate
for the office of Adjutant-General.
| We wish also at this time to say
few things relative to General j. &.
II. Foster, who is a candidate, and
ask that you be so kind as to reward
the past splendid services of this
gentleman, by giving him your votes.
General Foster was born in Savan-
nah, Ga, in 1873, and at the age of
three years, moved with his mother
to st. Augustine, Fla, where he re-
sided continuously until his present
appointment. General Foster assist
ed in organizing the famous Bryan
and Sewall club of st. Augustine in
! 1896, and was made it's secretary.
General Foster has always been II
faithful democrat and has always
been found fighting in the front ranks
of his party. AS to his qualification
for the office to which he again as
pires. He has served from the hum
BILE ranks of private to that of II
Major General. He was an officer in
the First Florida Regiment during
| the Spanish-American War and it
was there that each soldier learned
his lesson well. After the last An
nual Inspection, Mai. John G. w.
| Brooks, U. S. A., said in his report:
1.-The present State Adjutant General
! has shown an interest, energy and
ability | have seldom seen equaled."
| The Florida National Guard Associ-
alton, by unanimous resolution says:
ut is realized by all who have the
| interests of the Florida State Troops
at heart, what has been accomplished
by him in furthering their efficiency,
| therefore, be it resolved, that we Ell
dorse his candidacy and tender him
our hearty cooperation and support
and that we urge upon the electors
Of the state of Florida to support him
at the coming primary and return
| him to that office as we feel that it
would work hardship on the State
! Troops to make a change in office at
| the present time
General Foster is one of the vice
presidents of the National Guard
| Association of the United States, and
was instrumental, as member of the
committee, which finally caused the
passage of the Dick Bill, which gives
splendid National support to the
State Troops. He is also the author
of the present Military Code of Flor
ida. The careful and skillful man
ner in which he has conducted his
office has demonstrated his peculiar
I fitness for the office. We who are
under him, who know him, heartily
endorse and,him beg of.you to do like
wise. Gem City Guards of Palatka,

81. Per Year.
1t Was a Tough Show.

Clark s female minstrels which APP
peared at the opera house last Friday
night, consisted of about a dozen fe-
male and two or three male bipeds
who only imagine they can entertain.
| The hundred or more good men who
saw them know better. Perhaps
they knew before they went, but
then, you know the average good
man likes something wicked. These
females were not even entertainingly
that. They were just nothing but
ugliness and red daub and abbreviat-
ed skirts and tinsel and voices that
would provoke banishment from the
Bowery.
They croaked cheap songs and
threw kisses and embraced in panto-
mime several bald-headed men in the
audience. Then these bald-heads
blushed and grew sick at the tummy.
Not one in the outfit could sing,
not one could dance. They were
nothing more than just an aggrcga-
ton Of cye-sorcs.
The program stated that an after
concert would be held and that living
pictures would be the feature. Then
the manager started the girls down
through the audience to sell tickets.
But just as these girls got to work
there WAS a voice heard in the pit.
1t called "stop"! 1t was the voice of
Alderman Antonio Usina, manager
of the hall, He forbade the after
song. The manager protested and
called Csina something which sound
ed wonderfully like "chump," but
that didn't go. Tony was obdurate,
and the show ended.
1t is not likely any can be found
this week who will admit that they
attended the performance of Clark's
female minstrelsC)
