Unique Advertising.

The Fearnside Clothing Company
begins series of Buster Brown ad-
vertisements in the News this week
that will certainly attract attention.
The advertising will consist of a
series of Outcault's celebrated
cartoons with Busters comments.
These cartoons, the work of one OF
the most celebrated cartoonst of the
day and the creator of Buster Brown,
cost this enterprising clothing COM
pany money, but the company has
never had reputation for sparing
legitimate expense in it's efforts to
add to its business.
The stock this year is magnificent
and one that good dressers will GER
tainly appreciate.
The Fearnside store, however, is as
much the headquarters for the labor
ing man, as for the man of leisure
who makes dress speciality. The
stock embraces the best of every
thing for every man or boy. Mr..
Fearnside says the outlook for bust
ness in Palatka for the winter sea-
son is most encouraging, and his
company has prepared for a big in
crease in trade over last year. He
says that his business for October
thus far shows marked increase
over the corresponding period last
year.

LeHardy Case Postponed.

G. A. LeHardy, the Lemon street
merchant who has been making a
speciality of selling cider by the
drink and quart, was arrested yester-
day charged with selling liquor in a
dry county. His case came before
the circuit court yesterday afternoon
on information, and on request of
Attorney John E. Marshall, who APP
peared for defendant, the case will
90 over to the Spring term.
While the case was being argued,
however, Judge Wills took occasion
to define what constitutes viola
ton of the local option law as the
sale of any beverage, which, taken
in the ordinary quantity, would pro-
duce intoXication-no matter by
what name called. The Judge did
not know, he explained, anything
about the beverage which it was
alleged Mr.. LeHardy was selling;
that would be for the jury to de-
termine when the case came to trial.
But he stated that where liquor was
thus sold that each and every sale
would constitute a separate offense
for which the seller could be fined
200 or given ~ months in Jail.
Judge Wills also explained that the
fact of the government not eXacting
a license for a certain beverage con-
stituted no reason why the seller
should be immune from prosecution
by the state. 1.-The United States"
said he, was in the business of col
lecting licenses as a revenue, while
under local option, Putnam county
was endeavOring to prohibit the sale

"1he Tourists" %-Nisht.

The amusement loving people of
Palatka and from other parts of the
county will tax the capacity of the
new Howell Theater tonight to wit
ness the presentation Shubert's mu-
steal comedy, 1.-The Tourists" which
is now on a tour of the leading south
ern cities with all the gorgeous cos
tunes and effects provided for it's
long engagement at the Majestic
Theatre in New York. The compa-
ny was in Jacksonvill last night, and
comes to Palatka by special arrange
ment of Manager Kalbfield, who
wanted to give his patrons some
thing to remember. The success of
1.-The Tourists" in Palatka, now
doubly assured, means more to fol-
low of high grade entertainments.
There are but few seats left.
Speaking of the presentation. of
this musical comedy the Ledger
Dispatch of Norfolk, Va, of the llth
inst. says:
Eddie Garvie and his jolly bunch
of Tourists stormed the Academy
last night and captured the house in
two attacks.
Musical comedies are usually
either very good or very bad, and
THE Tourists" happily belongs to
the first named class.
THE play is cleverly written and
splendldly presented. The music is
by Gustav Kerker, the wizard of
enough of his talent into the musical
numbers of "The Tourists" to make
some of them real gems. The audi
ence went home whistling Its
Nice to Have Sweetheart" but it
was scarcely prettier than Love is
Wonderful Thing" sung earlier in
the performance.
Funny Eddie CARVE kept the
crowd convulsed with laughter with
his quaint topical songs and his
original comedy. His support was
bang up. The best voice in the
show was that of Miss Leonora Wat
son, in the role of the princess but
the young woman cast as Dora, Miss
Louise Barthel, made up in good
looks what she lacked in voice,
which wasn't much. Then there
was another, Miss Leonora Watson,
in the role of the American newspa-
per correspondent, who was both
clever and good to look upon.
"Oh! there was chorus that made
the boys sit up and take notice, and
they could sing and dance, too.
The production is full of novelties
and surprises and, taken as a whole,
it's a rafting good musical show and
worth anybody's attention.

To Hon. }. II, Wills, Judge:
We the grand jurors empanelled
to inquire into the body of the coun-
ty OF Putnam at the present term
of the Circuit Court of the said
county, do present,
That we recommend that the cOun-
ty judge and justices of the peace
dispose of all criminal cases possible,
thereby avoiding delay in disposing
of business by the grand jury, also
that our officials enforce the law in
the matter of the closing of all places
of business on Sundays. Also
against peddling bought produce
without licenses, also we recon-
mend to our county commissioners
that at their earliest convenience
they make their best endeavor to
build new court house for this
county. We call on all law abiding
citizens to lend their aid in the sup
preston of crime and to keep our
county safe from the violation of the
prohibition laws. We call upon the
citizens generally to aid in the fur
ther building up of good roads
throughout our county,
We thank your Honor for your
splendid Judgment and impartiality
and our state attorney for his cour-
tesy and dispatch. We especially
compliment ourmost efficient county
clerk upon his careful attendance
to his official duty, his splendid rec
ords and care of the same, and our
county officials as whole for
promptness and efficiency in the con-
duct of their several offices.

Tortnishtly Club Meeting.

The Woman's Fortnightly Club
| held its first meeting for the season
| 1908 in the club room on Friday
Oct. 10Th. Being an open meeting
and a social one nearly every mem
Der was present with II friend; and
as is usual with the meetings of this
popular club of Palatka women, it
proved most enjoyable occasion.
After roll call and reading and APP
prevail of the minutes of the last
meeting held in May; the club gave
earnest attention and applause to the
annual address of the president, Mrs.
S. j. Hilburn. This was well
written address and gave inspiration
to those listening for renewed efforts
along the line of it's usual club work.
This has to do with literature, music,
art, and largely with town improve
ment, which the Civic Committee
means to push with renewed vigor
this year. The improvement in the
City Hall grounds already testifies
as to what this energetic committee
under the leadership of Mrs. Geo. E.
Gay is capable of.
After the presidents address those
members who had been so fortunate
as to have an outing the past sum
mer were invited to tell about it, and
some very interesting experiences
were related.
The social committee was then
called upon for refreshments and
delightful fruit punch and cake were
served, after which the club adjourn
ed all expressing much pleasure ut
the afternoons entertainment,
This is the last meeting that the
club will hold in its old quarters in
the Grill building, as, under the pres
sure for residences in Palatka, DR..
Grill has been obliged to convert
these rooms, which the club has
used since its inception ten years
ago, into a fiat for residence. A vote
of thanks was extended to DR.. Grill
for his kindness in allowing the club
the use of these rooms for so many
years free of rent. Hereafter the
club will meet at the homes of its
members and the next meeting, Nov.

Gardner on River ST., the subject
for the day being Pure Food" AS

Sureley An Old Citizen.

Henry Clemmons, whose home is
near Francis, five miles west of Pa
latka, and who was a visitor IN the
city this week, has probably lived
here longer than any other citizen.
Mr.. Clemmons, who is hale and
hearty and Is years of age, came to
PaIatka in 1912, and except for the
four years he served in the civil war,
has resided continuously in the
county. During his visit in Palatka
Mr.. ClemmOns talked interestingly
of the early days to a large crowd of
people near the court house, among
whom were several other old settlers
who can go back into the 4O's in
placing the date of their coming to

greeted with an audience that taxed
the capacity of the theater. Every
seat was taken, chairs filled the
aisle, and standing room was at a
premium.
The company presented the "White
Caps" a drama of southern recon-
struction days, in very clever man
ner; and between the acts there were
numbers by the lilliputians, George
Liable and Annie Nelson, and NOV
