The town of Perry is in some
what of ferment because o..
the discovery that the charter
granted by the late Legislature
provides for the sale of liquor
there by the dispensary method.
There has never been a prohibi.
tion election in Taylor county
but the sale of liquor in the
town of Perry heretofore has
been regulated by ordinance,
the license tax required being
prohibitive. The new charter
amends it so that the council
may authorize the dispensing
of "booze" by a dispensary,
and as a town election is near
at hand the whiskey advocates
are trying to elect a council
which will grant "a dispensary
privilege. The prohibition peo
pie are awake, however, and
with brother Pound and his ex-
celleut Herald TO aid them in
fighting the battle, ought to
win out hands down.

1t does not take much of the
prophetic spirit to see good
days in store for Madison town
and Madison county, and we de-
not have to peep very far into
the future to find the time. Our
experimental tobacco { m S
have demonstrated that the
weed can be successfully grown
in our soil in large quantities
and we believe that when the
present crop is cured it will
, be further demonstrated that
our leaf has all the good quail
ties of other Florida raised to-
aoscco. Madison county farmers
can do nothing better in Our
opinion than to watch closely
the harvesting Of the present
crops, its curing, etc. and then
prepare their own lands for a
big general crop next year

who was with the Brookings Reds last
season, is dead. The report is that he
died Of quick consumption in Texas,

ravages Of the disease. When taken ill
he came from the east, where he was
playing with the Newark team, to his

The Palatka news. [volume] (Palatka, Fla.) 1905-1908, 1907-08-23

There was no mystery about the
suicide of George l.. Kleeberger, the
youth who shot himself day before
| yesterday. His reason was surmised
at the time; his act was explained by
the letter received yesterday by his
neutrality-suspicious. because he could
not keep in work
When discharged, he had eight
dollars. On his corpse was found 30
cents, The registered letter to the
pastor enclosed three dollars, to be
devoted to charity.
The young man was of fairly good
education, gentle, except when
aroused, dreamer, who imagined
that he could write poetry and who
wrote eXecrable rhyme; a faithful
piodder in work, and man who did
| himselfno good, and others no harm.
Alone in the world, a failure, as
far as he could see, sensitive and
proud, with certain delicacy, he
lacked that strength which enables
men to climb, or at least to hold
their own against the adverse cur
rents of fate; but in his religious
zeal, he clung with tenacity to his
central thought of the gentIeness Of
God, and His infinite comprehension.
Poor chap! With slight varia-
tiOns, how much is his story the
story of other men, both suicides and
men who do not suicide. Many.
with as little grit, seek drunkenness
or other forms of time-killing vice as
a makeshift. This poor youth was
weak-and by most criterions self
destruction is not cOurage-but in
casting the die and risking all on his
faith in the abiding mercy of a su-
periOr being who, maker of all things
and permitter of what we call evil.
seemed to him able to make full al
lowances, was he not perhaps as
strong as the hOrdes who have
