Many inquiries are being received by
members of the executive committee

occasion from citizens and visitors
throughout the state who desire to make
arrangements TO spend Ponce de Leon
week in the Ancient City, and there is
every reason to believe that the attend

boards of now were at the novel reading
period of life, Lena was Sweet young

ty one now-pretty to read and pretty as
presented in its dramatization by Miss
Mabel Paige and her excellent company.
The Times-Union says that Miss Paige
makes very pretty and attractive Lena
and shows thorough appreciation of
the lines. Mr.. Luce, Mr.. Whitman and
Miss Hurlbert, and in fact all members of
the cast, are excellent in their roles.
The play is handsomely staged with
every possible attention given to details.

SOME new MEN
FOR kLDERMEN
Named at Monday Nights Dem
ocratic Ward Meetings.

The various wards of the city held
caucus meetings last Monday night,
pursuant TO a call OF the city democratic
committee, for the purpose OF nomina-
ting candidates for aldermen, and TO Sc
lect delegates 10 the city convention
next Monday night, when a candidate
for mayor will be named. In some of
the wards there was quite large attend
anCe of voters, though as a rule little in
tereSt was taken.
The following are the various nomi-
nees for aldermen:
First ward-B. |. Gay.
Second ward-J. V Walton.
Third ward-D. ]. Coughlan.
Fourth ward-A USina.
Fourth ward-L. A. Smith.
Fifth ward-Tom Holden.
Seventh ward-D. A. Mullis.
In the Sixth ward the democrats
make no nomination. This is the
colored ward and sends colored men 10
the council. Joe Adams, the present
incumbent, was nominated last Tuesday
MesSrS. Walton, Caughlan, Smith and
Mullis will be new men on the council
and good ones.
AT the city convention next Monday
night it is probable that Mayor Howell
A. Davis will be re-nominated. Mr.
Davis did talk some of wanting to re-
tire, but no other name is mentioned.
He has taken more interest in the city
executive office than any mayor of late
years, and there is general satisfaction
with his administration. He is one OF
the foremost representatives of the new
Palatka and has been potent influence
in the city's more recent development
And then, too, he has given dignity to
the office. When visiting delegations
or conventions have been here, Mayor
Davis has gotten in among them and ad-
dressed words of welcome-andt talked
Palatka-talkcd ii in such a convincing
way that the departing guests will re-
member the city and its mayor. He's
the man for the job as long as he'll con
sent 10 take it,

Liquor Case Postponed.

The case against ]. w. Harrison mer,
chant and express agent at Denver sta
ton, charged with selling liquor in dry
county, was called before Judge Coke
on Tuesday morning, but on motion OF
the prosecuting attorney was postponed
until tomorrow-Saturday morning.
Mr.. Harrison is represented by Judge
E. Noble Calhoun, who was anxious TO
proceed with the case, but Mr.. Black
we'll for the state maintained that the
state needed more witnesses. Some who
were summoned under the impression
that they would be state witnesses were
vehement in their denial of any know
ledge that would incriminate Mr.. Har-
riSon.
The complaining witness is w. H.
Cohen of Crescent City.
Mr.. Harrison stated TO the News that
he is the agent at Denver of the South
ern Express company; that lot of liquor
is shipped to him by express in jugs and
packages, prepaid, and addressed TO all
sorts of people, white and black, and
that he simply delivers it. He is en-
phatic in his denial that he ever sold any
liquor.

BENSON BUYS
WOODBURY. LANDS
| Consisting of Eleven Thousand
Acres at Bardin, this
County.

The deeds conveying 1000 acres OF
land in Putnam county have passed be-
tween Mrs. ]. B. D. Woodburn OF
GAINESVILLE, Ga, and Col. Z. A. Benson
of Omaha, Neb.
The lands in question constituted the
big turpentine farm of the Woodburn es-
tate at Bardin, few miles northwest of
Palatka, and situated on Rice and Shines
creeks.
The consideration was $50, 900.
The deal was made by the parties to
the transaction, with Col. S. ]. Hilburn
of this city as intermediator, and is the
smallest of three giant purchases of Put
nam county lands made by Col. Benson
this winter.
Col. Benson has leased the turpentine
and timber privileges to MessrS. Suther-
land & Mattox, the latter deal being en-
gineered by Mr.. A. D. Curry of this
city.
Before putting these lands on the
market Col. Benson has stated that he
will spend some $50, 900 in ditching and
laying out roads. The land will be cut
into small tracts and only the best will
be offered to actual settlers who will be
brought here from outside the state.
In talk with the News some time
ago Col. Benson showed that he had
some ideas of his own concerning col
onization schemes. In the first place
he proposes that each purchaser shall be
made acquainted with some of the diff.
culties which stand in the way of sue
ceSSful farming in Florida. He knows
that considerable part of the land is
not valuable for agricultural purposes.
This he will hold as timber reserve.
Only land of proved value will be sold,
and each purchaser will be impressed
with the idea that it takes little money
to make successful start at farming in
Florida.
Some weeks ago the News told the
people OF the former purchases of land
by Col. BenSon-Some 1000 acres on
Rice Creek and some $4,000 in the
neighborhood of West Tocoi, and
stretching along the river front for some
distance, as we'll as paralelling the A. c.
L. Railroad. These tracts Col. Benson
will also plat into small farms and sell
to actual settlers.
He hopes to get much of this property
ready for the market by next winter.
Putnam county farm lands will now
proceed to boom, and the county will
grow and take its proper place at the
head of the list of agricultural counties
in Florida,

Death of Former Citizen.

A DeKalb, ILL.,, paper of recent date
contains a notice of the death of Mr..
George Bagley, for more than 20 years a
resident of Pomona, this county, but who
sold out and went north some years ago.
Mr.. Bagley'S death was due to pnGu-
monia. He is survived by two children,
Mrs. Florence Waldron of Ormond,
Fla, and George H. Bagley, jr., of De-
Kalb, Ill.
Mr.. Bagley will be remembered by the
older citizens of the peninsula and who
will regret to learn of his death. He
was native of London, England, and
came to this country when IS years of
age. For many years he was baud

Will be a Candidate.

Mr.. r. C. Middleton, president and

his announcement as a candidate for
County Commissioner from district No.
l.. Mr.. Middleton'S home at Long
Staion is but a short distance from
Crescent City, many OF the people of
which place had strongly urged him TO
become a candidate. He is a young
man of high standing in the business
community and has been remarkably
successful. He Is a younger brother of
Mr.. w. S. Middleton of Pomona, for
mer member of the board and at present
a candidate for a seat in the Florida leg

Ii is doubtful if a stronger candidate
could have been selected from any pre-
