TIE NEW SIDEWALK CONTRAc.
TORS

Last week in mentioning the names
of the firms bidding on the Lemon and
Oak street sidewalks contract, the
news gave the name of the successful
bidder as d. S. Woodrow Of Ocala
Mr.. Woodrow was only the secretary
and representative of the company
making the bid. The cOmpany's legal
name is The WOOdmar Sand and
Stone Co. The mistake Was caused
from the fact that this blu was not
on file in the city clerks Office at the
time but was in the hands of some of
the city officials.
The Woodmar Company writes that
it expects to be at work in Palatka
shortly and will move it's crushing
plant and other machinery here.
The coming Of this company will
certainly result in our people getting
their concrete sidewalks built at a
great saving over what has been
paid.-Palatka News.

Shoulda list ofthe ingredients ofPe-

he would be obliged 70 admit without

in the treatment of catarrhal diseases.
The fact is, chronic catarrh Is a dis
ease which is very prevalent Many
thousand people know they have
chronic catarrh- They have visited
