PROTECT YOUNG WOMEN
Plans for the Safety Of Those
Who Go as Strangers to st.

"The Woman's Christian Associa-
tion of st. Louis are aware of the fact
that plausible people are secured to
bring young women TO our city with
the assurance of any employment
they desire being in waiting for them,
(but one idea is theirs-Ruin).
Mrs. WhittemOre Of the Door of
Hope Mission, Manhattan, n. Y, has
made the following statement: "The
sum of $l25,000 has already been paid
agents for the purpose of obtaining
girls from all over the country be-
tween the ages of twelve and twenty
to be kept in st. Louis during the eX-
position, there being a plan to pro-
cure 1900.
These agents are sending out circu-
lars over the whole country, promis-
ing girls good positions during the
Worlds Fair, with good homes free.
Thousands of girls, vlrtuous as an
gels, are nearly crazy to go to the
Worlds Fair and innocently will fall
into trap like this. 1t is TO assist
in protecting these girls that this
warning is sounded
To in any degree meet this monster
all must unite in general protectiV e
plan, if By any peradventure we may
save a few Of the many tempted by
alluring promises. The slum work

know that this whole hell-born
scheme is awfully true. 1t is horr-
BILE! 1t is unbelievable! 1t is almost
enough to doom the Worlds Fair. If

there be no Worlds Fair. | would

FLORAHOME NEWS.
Editor PALATKA NEWS:


Since my last letter Florahome has
undergone the usual transforma-
ton from the lay by of fall to the
activity necessary to the growing of
another crop. On every hand the
farmers are busy with plow harrow
and seeder. Double the acreage of
last year in potatoes have been
planted and they are showing up
we'll in proof of a good stand, thus
giving us surety of Il good crop.
Early planted cabbage, peas, toma-
toes and some melons are up and
looking we'll. Willie early for corn,
some has been planted. The weather
gives promise of an early spring
time and the past cold of the winter
the hope that no frost will again
visit us this season. Peach trees are
laden with young fruit while the
plum, now fully in bloom, bids fair
for that much desired fruit. While
reports to us of the still frozen north
with its ice, snow and blizzard, we
are enjoying the luxury of ripe
Strawberries in abundance and ge-
NAL atmosphere that no otherpart Of
the world can boast so truthfully of
as our own 'land Of flowers"
Mr.. and Mrs. Brandt, who for the
past four years have made their
home at Florahome, have returned
to Mankato, Kas., Mrs. Brandt's aged
parents requiring her personal care.
Mr.. Brandt still holds his property
here and may in time return to it.
Miss Leonard of Chicago is stay
ing with her grandmother, Mrs. Nj ..
NJ. Phillips, who occupies the Wal
lace property. Miss Leonard expects
soon to return permanently to her
duties in Chicago.
Miss Elizabeth N. Barr is extern
sively engaged in chicken raising
by means of an Incubator and now
has II large family of young chicks
Il hundred or more-which promise
in the near by and by to repay her
care. We trust the promise will be
fulfilled.
Mr.. Weingard, who has spent the
winter with us, expects soon to re-
turn to his Montana home, but his
impressions of Florida are so favOra-
bic that he will doubtless make his
home here another year. He owns
$40 acres of land between here and
Hollster and expects to try stock
farming on it. Being a practical
farmer in that line his success here
is guaranteed before hand.
Mr.. Baker of Melrose is in charge of
Gen. f. Fielding's 30 acre orchard
this year. Mr., Baker has made a
marked success of peach culture at
Melrose and we have no doubt he
will here. The Fielding orchard is
one of the most promising here.
Miss j essie r. Nudge, our teacher
of music, is occupying with her
father, her new Bungalo cottage
Both express pleasure at the new sur
roundings.
Mr.. Bull, from Delevan, Wis, is
building quite a large house. Mr..
and Mrs. Bull are permanent fix
lures.
The Misses Jain, having finished
the school year in their respective
districts, Como and Welaka, are at
home with their parents.
Mr.. Geo. Wherrell and family are
temporarily occupying the Brandt

For County Judge.

Hon. j. II. Harp of Crescent City
makes announcement of his candi-
dacy for county Judge in this issue
of the News, subject to the approval
of democratic voters.
Mr.. Harp is one of the substantial
men of Putnam cOunty-a rank he
took when he came here 30 years
ago, and one he has maintained un-
interruptedly since. Mr.. Harp is
Georgian, and served with the First
Confederacy all through the war,and
until the surrender in 1865. During
those four years he was in active SER
vice, except for a short time spent in
hospital on account of wounds. He
participated in the battles of Muir
freesboro, Shiloh, Chickamaugua,
Lookout Mountain, Mission Ridge
and in the Georgia campaign from
the mountains to the sea. Three
brothers, all in the same regiment,
We're killed.
Since coming to Putnam county in
1872 Mr.. Harp served II years as u
justice of the peace, six years as q
member of the school board and six
years in the Legislature, where he
was chairman of the important com
mittee on Agriculture. Mr.. Harp is
a large property owner and a success
full orange grower and farmer In
the fields of agriculture and horti-
culture he takes ranking place as
he has in all the other walks of life.
He was one of the regularly ap-
pointed lectures for the Farmers In
stitutes of the University of Florida.
Mr.. Harp is probably one of the
best equipped laymen in the state
for the office to which he aspires,
and in the event of his election he
would add dignity, order and men
tai capacity to the probate office.
He is broad guage man with an in
innate knowledge of the laws of
Florida.
