authorship of the piece is credited to
Miss Adelaide Prince, whose career
in the literary world has been one of
marked triumph.
F. A Gerber & Son have been

fit so pefectly, one to the other, and
the opening of the cases is so easily
of accomplishment as to make it al
together the one perfect sectional
case. Gerber q Son are showing
many beautiful and artistic designs
in odd furniture pieces for the holi-
day season this year.

the people of Florida, as well us
those gentlemen from whom the
next senator is to be selected, that
my position be made known
Senator Mallory has been in ill
health for many months and recently
suffered an attack that partially
paralyzed his left side. He has
shown some provement, however,
and while he could not go to Wash
ington for the opening of congress
this month, he has conducted all
necessary correspondence through
his secretary, Mr.. A. NJ. Lewis, who
is at the capital attending to his con-
gressional duties.
Mr.. Mallory's public life began in
1875 in which year he was elected to
the lower house in the Florida legis-
lature and in 1880 and 1884 to the
state senate. He served two terms
in congress as representative of the
| first district of Florida in 1890, and
| 1892, and was subsequently elected
to be United States senator in 1897,
succeeding Wilkinson Call. He was
returned in 1902.

Unlawful Sale Of Liquor.

Chas. c. Smith, former saloon
keeper of this city now doing busi-
ness in St. Augustine, was before
Judge M. l. Coke on Wednesday
morning charged with selling liquor
in a county where such sale is pro-
hibited. The affidavit on which the
charge is based was made by VIII
Oliver, negro, who deposes that on
the 18th inst. he purchased of said
Smith two gallons of whisky, which
Smith delivered by express the
same day, and that Smith took the
order in person.
Mr.. Smith waived preliminary
hearing through his attorney, Jno.
E. Marshall, and was bound over to
the next grand jury in sum of $500,
which he furnished with Silas Smith
and q. Carmen as sureties.
Oliver was arrested by Sheriff
Howell while drunk and when
sobered made oath rs above noted.
The sheriff states that he has plenty
of evidence to convict.

Board Of Trade Meeting

The Palatka board of trade is GER
tainly "live wire;" it gets after
things that need getting after and II
stays by 'em till the finish.
The county has been paying for
freight on gravel from Interlachen
for the new hard road, more than
twice what the gravel costs. The
board has taken this matter up and
will send Secretary de Montmollin
to Savannah to see the general
freight agent of the A. 9. l.. R'y
about it.
Then there is that new depot. 1t
will be beauty when completed
will it ever be completed? The
board ism letting up on this matter.
Men are here to do the work. In
fact they did one days work last
week and then-got out of bricks.
The bricks were shipped from Birm-
ingham, Ala, on the 4th inst, but
they haven't showed up in Palatka
yet. The board has been after the
railway companies on this and a
tracer has been sent to locate and
hustle the brick. The new contrac-
tor has promised the board to eXpe-
dite matters when the brick arrives.
The board has been looking into
the matter of free mail delivery, and
to get this it has been found that
houses should be numbered. At the
meeting on Monday night commit
tee was appointed to go before the
city council and urge an ordinance
requiring houses to be numbered.
r r.. Brakeman of the committee
on shade trees for the streets re-
ported that he had orders for 80 trees
and was still after more with the
prospects Of good results.
All members of the board are
urged to attend the next regular
meeting, when reports of the years
work will be submitted.

Will Entertain 5he Firemen

Mrs. M. B. jacobson of the Sara
toga Hotel has invited the members
of the Palatka fire company's to a
turkey dinner at the hotel tonight at
7 o'clock, and there is no question
but that the boys will have spread
of good. things which they will long
remember.
The dinner is in fulfillment of a
promise made by Mrs. jacobson to
the boys some two or three months
ago. A rubbish heap in the back
yard had been set afire and the
smoke issuing therefrom was in such
volume as TO cause someone to sound
the fire alarm. The department
rushed to the rescue before the mis-
take was discovered. Mrs. Jacob
son, however, felt that she was in
measure responsible for the hot
chase of the boys and after making
apology, told them that she had a
new mushroom bed and that when
the mushrooms were matured she
would give them all beefsteak and
mushroom feast. The mushrooms
did not do all that was promised for
them, but Mrs. Jacobson isn't going
to let little technicality like that
interfere with her dinner for the
firemen. Hence the turkey dinner
for them tonight.

Gay Bros. Christmas Offerings.

Both the big Gay Bros. stores
have made especially attractive dis
plays for the Christmas tables of the
people of Palatka. 1t would be next
to impossible to enumerate every
thing, but of the articles especially
appropriate there is California cell
cry, cranberries, all kinds of fresh
vegetables and fruits, Ferris hams,
smoked tongue, mince meat (the
kind mother used to make), Deerfoot
farm breakfast sausage, Franco
American soups, English plum pud-
ding, Edam and pineapple cheese,
ETC., etc.
The stores of Gay Brothers are in

a pride. There are none better, or
which carry larger of more varied

His Farewell Sermons.

Rev. j. f. Bell, for the past two
years the devoted and able pastor Of
St. James M. e. Church, south, in
this city, will preach next Sunday
morning and evening. AS the an
nual conference just closed has as
signed him to the pastorate of the
church in st. Petersburg, this will be
Mr.. Bells final service in this city.
In honor of the event, the Presby-
terian church will unite with their
Methodist co.laborers at the Sunday
night service.
In this connection the News has
received the following note from Mr..
Bell:
Dear Mr.. RUSSELL
Please say in the News this week
that L will preach at the Methodist
church next Sunday morning and
evening. This is my last Sabbath in
Palatka, and | extend a cordial well
come to the community to attend
these services. lam assigned for the
year to st. Petersburg, where we
have good church, and where / will
find a lot of work to do.
| want to thank you, dear sir, and
your paper, for courtesies extended
me the past two years. | wish you
continued prosperity and usefulness.
Very sincerely yours,
j. F. BELL.
Palatka, Dec 10th, 1907,
The Methodists of ST. Petersburg
recently erected beautiful brick
church, which was dedicated some
over year ago by Bishop Chas. r.
Galloway. This church asked the
conference to assign Mr.. Bell to the
pastOrate, and promised to pay him
a salary considerably in advance of
what he has received in Palatka,
Not alone the members of st. James
church, but the Christian people of
all denominations in Palatka will
part with this good man and his fam
lily regretfully, and at the same time
wish him abundant success in his
new field.
Mr.. Bells successor at st. James
will be Rev. Howard Dutill of Live
Oak. Mr.. Dutill is a man in middle
life, with wife and two or three
daughters. He has been member
of the Florida conference for many
years and has filled some of the most
important charges in the state. He
has reputation for being an elo-
quent and forceful preacher. He
was once pastor of Hyde Park
church, Tampa, where the recent
conference was held, and w. q.
Tilghman, who was present at the
conference was assured by members
of that church that Mr.. Dutill is re-
membered there as the most forceful
preacher the church has ever had.
Other changes that will have spe-
cial interest to Palatka people is the
transfer of Presiding Elder Lawler
to the Orlando district, and the ap-
pointment to this district of Rev. E.
f. Ley of Jacksonville.
Rev. r, l.. Honiker goes to Clear
water. 1t was at his own request
that he was changed from Carrabelle,
though his return to that place was
strongly urged.
The next session of the conference
will be held at Miami.

The Revival Services.

Interest in the special services be-
ing conducted at the Baptist church
by Rev. John A. Wray of Plant City
has continued unabated through the
week, though it is probable that they
will come to an end with the service
of Sunday night, when it is expected
that several of the converts will be
baptised.
There will be service tonight.
The attendance through the week
has taxed the capacity of the church
and the congregations have been
greatly moved by the earnestness of
this eloquent and consecrated
preacher. There have been numer-
Gus conversions and the whole men,
bership has received a spiritual up
lift that should result in q greater
earnestness in the Christian life.
