OCALA NORTHERN
is BUILDING
But Will Not Reach Palatka
Before Next Year.

E. P. Rentz, of Ocala, the man who is
building the Ocala Northern Railroad,
the new road that is to traverse the fine
farming section between Ocala and Pa
latka, was in the city Wednesday.
Mr.. Rentz stated that the road was
now operating several trains per day be-
tween Ocala and Fort Mccoy, and that
the construction gang were at work be-
tween Fort Mccoy and Orange Springs,
TO which latter place the road would be
completed in short time.
Asked when he hoped TO have trains
running into Palatka, Mr.. Rentz said he
couldn't fix time because of the diff
culties they were having in getting labor.
But" said he, 'the road will be COM
pleted into Palatka some time next year.
''lt is marvellous" continued Mr..
Rentz, "the way the Ocala- Burbank col
ony lands are filling up, and the i'm
provements the people are making. We
are getting fine class of coloniStS, and
more than 400 farms are already occu-
pied. In addition to this colony, the
road will traverse the lands of the big
farms company recently purchased of
the Rodman Lumber Company, and
which is also being promoted by re-
SponSible parties. 1t would open the
eyes of Palatka people to go down and
see the work that has already been ac-
complished in these colonies, and it
seems to me that the wise thing for Pa
latka TO do would be TO get in touch
with these people as soon as possible"
Mr.. Rentz confesSeS that his most Seri-
Gus trouble just now is in getting labor.
Could he solve this problem his road
might be completed TO Palatka before
the end of the present year.

new THEATER
FOR PALATKA
Company to Build an Airdome
to Seat One Thousand People.

Most of the preliminaries have been
arranged for the incorporation of the
Orpheum Theater Co. of Palatka. The
money for the venture has all been sub
scribed by local capitalists, and some
others who probably do not possess
enough TO entitle them to such rating.
But the thing is go.
The new Orpheum Theater is to be
of the airdomc kind, with canvas or
sliding roof, so as to render it comfort
able for summer night performances.
Louis Kalbfield, who knows a good
many things about theaters and who has
the advantages that come with lifelong
association with show people, will be
the manager of the new theater.
The building will occupy the space
on lower Lemon street next to MONEYS
undertaking rooms, and when completed
will have seating capacity of 1000.
The stage will be one of the largest in
Florida. For the summer season it is
the purpose of the new company to give
popular price attractions. And by popu-
lar prices is ment 10 and 20 cent admis-
Sions.
Contractors sare figuring on the new
theater this week, and all of the material,
except what can be purchased right here
in Palatka, has been ordered.
Such big auditorium will be a real
advantage TO Palatka, in that it will pro-
vide place for conventions and big
public meetings.

Palatka Bridge Earnings.

That the traffic bridge across the ST.
Johns river at Palatka will prove a reye
nue. producer, at least sufficient to pay
for its maintenance, is shown by the
first quarterly report of receipts, made
by the bridge tender to the board OF
county commissioners.
This report shows that the total re.
ceiptS of the bridge for the first three
months OF its operation as toll bridge
were $1,000. The quarter ended on
May 31St. 1t is more than probable that
these receipts will grow with the coun-
ty'S hard road development, and connec,
tions thereto TO be- made by adjoining
counties. But should there be no in
crease and the present business should
be maintained the bridge would show
receipts at the end OF its first year OF
$4,000.
By a resolution of the commissioners
this money is to be kept in separate
fund 10 be known as the Bridge Main
tainance Fund.
From this fund will be paid the salary
of the keeper and all repairs. Were il
not toll bridge this expense would
come out of the tax payers in all parts of
the county. By the toll system the ex-
penSe of maintenance is taken from the
pockets of bridge users only. This fact
is gradually reconciling those who op-
posed the toll system originally.

REV. DIR. hILBURN
WILL PLAY Jokes.
Popular Ocala Pastor Made
Victim of Some of Them.

The Ocala Star of last Friday contains
the following story of some fun enjoyed
by Rev. ]. P. Hilburn, D. D., president
of Southern College, at the expense oi
his friend, Rev. J. w. Bigham, the popu
lar pastor of the Methodist chuch in
! Ocala:
"Rev. ]. P. Hilburn and son Oscar ol
Sutherland are guests of the Ocala
House. Tomorrow DR.. Hilburn will
go to Palatka to visit his brother Hon
Sam Hilburn, recently elected state Sena
tor from Putnam county. The next day
DR.. Hilburn will attend the Methodist
conference at Crescent City in the in
terest of Southern College of which he
is the head.
"The doctor is going to have busy
summer looking after the interest oi
Sutherland and securing students fol
same. Mr.. Oscar Hilburn having gradu
ated with honor at Sutherland, will con.
tinue his studies at Vanderbilt, in Eng,
lish literature and probably law.
CDR. Hilburn who is most genial
gentleman and enjoys joke on friend
better than a Delmonicosdinner, got a
good one on his friend Rev. ]. w.
Bigham. He first called him up and
wanted to know if he could secure his
services to marry him and what the
price would be.
"The beauty of all this by play was
that Rev. Bigham did not recognize DR..
Hiburn's voice.
"Well said Rev. Bigham the price
would depend, etc. Was asked if il
would be as high as $40, or if it could be
done for S.. Finally said Hilburn, well
I'll see notary and maybe can have
it done for $3.50. Oh, said Bigham, if ii
runs as low as that, do il for nothing.
When do you want me. Will call you
up after a rest.
"Dr. Hilburn again connected with
Rev. Bigham and this time he wanted
TO engage B. to make local option
speeches at SIS day and expenses, as
the caller understood he had great repu-
tation along this line. With indignant
voice Rev. B. said who are you. No
answer. You are mistaken said B. Pm
a statewide prohib. No matter about
that-this is a business proposition.
Will you or will you not accept. Ire
pudiate the whole thing and B. hung up
the receiver.

when Rev. B. was pastor in Jackson
vile he gave darkey So to build a
chicken coop and that was the last of
nigger and the So. So DR.. Hilburn rang
Rev. B. up again-saying-I want to go
into the chicken business and want TO
borrow So to buy an incubator. This
last tore Rev. B. all to pieces, but he
didn't know who his interlocutor was.
Demanded els name, etc. But didn't
get it. Here scene three ended.
"Another rest and then DR.. Hilburn
called up Rev. B. again-telling who he
was, etc. Rev. B. invited DR.. Hilburn
