Reckless bicycle riding on Kirk
| land, River and other streets, es-
pecially on Sunday, is becoming quite
too common practice, and is GER
tain to result in some accident if not
stopped. Last Sunday gang of ne
gro boys came down Kirkland street
at full tilt and people on the side
walks were almost forced to step in
to the, street to avoid a collision.
Many of these reckless riders, both
white and colored, seem to think that
pedestrians should give them entire
rig ht- of-way, losing sight of the fact
that it is only privilege that cycl-
| lists are permitted to use the side
walks at all for riding purposes. All
sprinters should be fined.

Gainesville yesterday was J. Walter

nected with Mr.. Bailey, who is re-
garded as one of the most conserva-
tive business men of Florida. Mr..
Hilliard was virtually reared in the
| insurance business under Mr.. Bal
ley's direction, with the result that
he is regarded as authority on in
surance matters.-Gainesville Sun.
Julian Peek who has been a resi-
dent of Palatka for more than a year
past, is here for a short visit with
his parents before going to Jackson
vile to accept very attractive po-

with the Wilson Cypress Co, and
his services as book-keeper and stem
ographer for that firm were so effic-
lent as to attract the attention of one
of the firms business connections in
Jacksonville. The result was the Of
