Card From Bond Committee.

The Central Campaign Committee,
i'm the interest Of the Putnam County
bond improvement project, desires
to say:-The election has taken place
and the majority for bonds has been
sufficiently large TO remove any
doubt as to the result. The Commit
tee wants to extend II general word
Of thanks to every person who en-
dOrsed the issue and voted for bonds.
The Committee has had strenuous
time. Some have opposed the prop
OsitiOn, but we have never felt any
discouragement. We have main
tanned IA steady, persistent perse-
verance. The result Is known to all.
The majority which has been voted
for bonds proves to us the wisdom of
the project. We have the utmost
respect for those who could not hon
estly approve our work. We hope
that the project will ultimately
prove TO these people, by virture of
the advantages To come, that IL has
been for the best. The County Com
mlssIoners have been instructed TO
issue the bonds. A large task Is yet
to be performed. We believe the
Board Of County Commissioners are
equal TO this task, aud that with the
trustees who are to be appointed,
will be able 10 carry out the trust
absolutely IN accordance with the
interest OF AL the people OF Putnam
County. That the people at large.

The Bonds Win /!
BY MAJORITY OF 388 VOTES
THE PEOPLE DECIDE.
Successful Termination Of q
Campaign for Progress
in Putnam County.

The interest in last Tuesdays cleo
ton centered almost entirely in the
$4,000 bond proposition which was
to be decided by the voters. and i'm
the ace of our fellow townsman, S.
w. Rowley, for Railroad Commits
slOner, on the Republican ticket.
The committee which has had i'm
hand the management of the cam
paign for bonding the county for
public improvements, only ceased
their persistent and commendable
work when the polls closed Tuesday
night. Their success is complete,
and their reward, we confidently be-
live, awaits them in the good that
is to come to Putnam County and to
all our people from the many neces-
sary improvements that are now
possible and will speedily be made.
OF credit for the success Of the
bonds each favorable voter Of the
county and every worker In the
cause is due his NEED, but special
note should be made of the efforts
of one man in particular. Fore and
foremost I'm the bond movement has
been Geo. b. Selden, of Palatka, "a
man of experience and rare business
ability. 1t was he who studied out
and perfected the bonding plans,
which have been passed upon and
pronounced first-class by some of
the best financial institutions of the
country, and he has probably de-
voted more time TO the details OF the
campaign than anyone else. Mr..
Selden, while one OF the largest tax
payers in the county, can receive mo
greater benefit from public improve
ments than any other resident. AL
most the entire output of the great
door and blind factory OF which he
is president, Is sold outside of the
county or state. His labor has been
unselfish and for the good of all.
Following is vote for and against
bonds In all the precincts:

and especially those who have been
most active IN the furtherance Of the
cause, Will continue their interest I'm
and for the proper carrying out of
all the details, goes without saying.
Promises to tho people have been
made, and these promises most GER
tainly must be carried out. The
Committee naturally feels great sat
isfaction In the pronounced endorse
ment accorded them, and their
thanks go out to everybody.
