Labor Day in Palatka.

There was no general observance OF
Labor Day in Palatka, other than a gen
eral knocking off of business in the af-
ternoon. OF course being legal holi-
day, the banks treated it with the proper
respect.
The only amusement was ball game
at the ball park between scrub mines of
Crescent City and Palatka, and TO this
many went.
The game was interesting and there
were many fine plays. Duke" Cal
houn, as usual, carried off the honors
for the home team. Palatka won by a
score of II to 5. The visitor had to
pick up many of its players from the out
lying country, and were not in their
usual form. The Palatka boys had not
played together before this season.
