New Fountain Ordered.

Ever since the committee of ladies
from the Woman's Fortnightly Club
of which Mrs. Geo. f. Gay is the
head-assumed responsibility for the
ornamentation and care of the City
Hall grounds that space has shown
improvement. Today it requires but
slight stretch of the Imagination
to picture what these grounds will
soon mean as one of the many units
of beauty that are to contribute to the
general and more favorable impress
sion that the new Palatka is to make
on strangers. And not to strangers
only, but to our own people.
The latest work of these ladies for
the improvement of the grounds is
the ordering of three basin foun-
tain which will be set up in the space
reserved for 1t in front of the hall.
Rows of stately palm trees have
been set out on the streets around
the grounds, the grounds leveled
and set out in grass, together with
some 30 trees and shrubs, some of
which are very rare specimens, sent
by Congressman Frank Clark. The
grass and trees seem to be in a flour
ishing condition, and with the care
which these patriotic ladies propose
to take in the work the people of Pa
latka can feel sure that there will be
at least one public place in this city
which will be a place of beauty.
The thanks of the entire city is
due this committee of ladies from
the Fortnightly club.

Coburn'S MinStrelC.

A radical departure from the Gus
toms of minstrelsy and minstrel pa
rades has been made this season by
Manager Coburn of u. A. Coburn's
Greater Minstrels" in presenting his
company in street parade daily
dressed in regulation black silk hat,
Prince Albert street dress coat, and
light striped trousers and spats. He
has in the past carried the most
courteous, fine appearing, gentle
manly set of performers, and given
the cleanest and brightest minstrel
performances ever seen in the south.
There are also among his company
several members from among the
finest families of the southern states,
and his antipathy against questiona-
BILE appearances, songs, jokes or ac-
tions on his stage is absolutely es-
tablished in the confidence of the
public. Watch for the parade and
band concert next Thursday at noon.
Performance at night at S:20.

FearnSide'S Big Sale.

Never before in the history of Pa
latka has such stock of high grade
clothing been put upon the market
at such self-selling prices as is now
being offered by the Fearnside Cloth
ing Company of this city.
The reasons for the sale will be
made apparent to every one who will
take the trouble to look at the COM
pany's big advertisement on the first
page of this paper.
The financial depression that is
now sweeping the country is being
Enthusiastically felt in Palatka. Mr..
Fearnside bought heavily in the fall
in anticipation of a bigger trade than
usual. That increase has not come.
And though it is the Christmas time,
the best of all the year for the re-
taller, Mr.. Fearnside has decided to
take advantage of it to unload. He
has simply eliminated all idea of
profit on clothes.
1t will pay you to read his QUOTA
tions. And it should be remember
ed that they are all quotations on
new and up-to-date clothing gar
ments of the hand tailored variety
made by such leading houses as A.
B. Kirschbaum and Schloss Bros.

Another New Industry for
Palatka.

The extensive demand for kitchen
tables in Florida has hitherto COM
PEELED the furniture dealers of this
state to purchase their stock in the
northern markets.
In future, furniture dealers will be
able to obtain these tables in Palat-
ka from Messrs. g. NJ. Davis & Son,
the well-known manufacturers of
cypress tanks. Owing to the excel
lent facilities and the improved ma
chinery, with which their new fac
tory is equipped, the enterprising
firm of G. M. Davis & Son is now in
position to turn out nearly twice the
number of tanks with the same force
of workmen, as they were able to
manufacture in their former factory,
and in order to utilize portion of
the waste material and also to keep
their full quota of workmen in steady
employment, they have commenced
the manufacture of kitchen tables
which will be sold to the trade ex-
clusively.

Do Your Shopping Now.

The merchants of Palatka have
done themselves proud in the matter
of holiday good. The stores are
filled with those things that are use
full or ornamental, or both. There
never was Christmas season in the
history of the place when the objects
from which to choose a gift were no
varied and so numerous, These ar
ticles are now on exhibition in all
their glory, and the time to make Sc
lection is NOW.
1t is the best time for the buyer
and the best time for the seller.
1t will be relief to the overwork-
ed clerks by spreading their work
more equally through the days.
In the name of humanity the wo-
mems organizations of the large
cities have called upon the shoppers
to buy now and not crowd the clerks
at the last minute.
The advertising columns of the
News this week are worthy the care
full perusal of every person. And
the merchants-those who have
made these announcements-if any
thing, are too modest. Their story
hasn't half been told.
Go and see them Make your Sc
lections early MAKE THEM NOW.

The $50 Withdrawals from the petit

in this county, was carefully consid-

THAT SPECIAL SESSION.
IT'S Said Gov. Broward VIII
Call it For Ian. 9th

A Tallahassee special to the jack
sonville Metropolis on Wednesday
evening says:
at is reported here on the best of
authority that Governor Broward
has at last determined to call an ex-
ira session of the Florida Legisla-
ture on Monday, January 9Th. The
governor, it is understood, finally
made up his mind to call this extra
session on this date, Notwithstanding
there has been great opposition
manifested all over the state by press
and public.
Zone peculiar feature about this
extra session is that the members
will be called upon to correct the err
rors made by themselves at the regu-
lar session of last spring.
what the people of the state are
worried about is what guarantee
have they (the people) that more
will not be made by the
solons in the extra session.
"ln the meantime, the taxpayers
of Florida have to foot the bills.
"Some sensational charges against
certain corporations of the state, it
is reported, will be feature of the
Governors message"
