PUTNAM BRANCH
WATERWAY ASSN
Launched By the Palatka Board
of Trade as a Live Wire.
City VIII Take Active Part in Going
After the Canal.

Putnam county for the waterway!
A live branch of the MiSSiSSippito
Atlantic Inland Waterway association, ol
which U. S. Senator Duncan U. Fletcher
is president, was organized, according to
schedule, on Friday night last in the
council chamber.
The Palatka Board of Trade fathered
the proposition for Putnam county and
had charge of the meeting up to the
election of Hon. Howell A. DAVIS as
chairman of the new organization.
Mr.. George B. Selden was keenly alive
TO the advantages of the proposed in.
land waterway, which, as he said, with,
out question would run past Palatka' S
very doors and do more toward making
this town city than any other factor
that could enter into its development.
Before listening to the speech of Sec.
retary Leland ]. Henderson of the Water
way association, which was delivered
by proxy (Mr F. w. Kettle of ST. Au,
guStine), letters introducing the field
secretary, Mrs. Maude Wood Henry, who
was also present, were read. These let
tiers from the Jacksonville and St. Au,
gustine boards OF trade urged Palatka to
join in the campaign for the waterway
which Palatka promptly did.
A resolution endorsing the project in
its entirety, and pledging both moral
and financial support, was unanimously
passed by the Board of Trade.
The speech of Mr.. Henderson con.
tanned many solid facts and figures and
reasons why the people should get back
of this movement now and strengthen
the forces of the organization so that its
influence will be felt in the next con
gress. AT that time the reports OF the
engineerSNwho have been surveying the
route across the peninsula and on TO the
Mississippi river will be considered, and
by a forceful array of statistics and the
backing of the people throughout the
affected territory, it is expected that a
large appropriation can be secured to
forward the work. AS before stated in
this paper, two appropriations were made
on the rivers and harbors bill for actual
construction of links in the proposed
canal, and Senator Fletcher is urging
a long, strong pull for the entire project
next year.
Palatka, following the lead of Jack
sonville, Pensacola, St. Augustine and
other places, is also putting its shoulder
to the wheel financially.
Mayor Davis appointed Mr.. H. F. Will
son of the Wilson Cypress Co., chair
man of the subscription and membership
committee, and he and Mr.. G. B. Sell
den, Col. S. ]. Hilburn and others are
calling on the citizens this week for
funds to carry on the educational propa-
ganda for the association.
Altogether an active branch is in for
nation here. There was good attend
ance and much spirited discussion.

When Kissing Was Costly.

The case of the people against Muir
line, heard by the governor Of New
Haven colony In council on May day,
1860, indicates the attitude toward un-
licensed kissing in those times. 1t ap-
peared that Jacob Murine and Sarah
Tuttle had been caught kissing each
other. Jacob tried to throw the blame
on Sarah, saying he thought she had
with intent let fall her gloves" Sa-
rah denied the intent. Jacob then ad-
mitted that he "tooke her by the hand
and they both sat down upon chest,
but whether he kyssed her or she
kyssed him he knows not, for he nev-
er thought of it since until Mr.. Ray
mond told him that he had not layde 1t
to heart as he ought" The stern gov
ernor, after duly ecturing the guilty
parties Oh the enormty of their Of
fense. decreed that "the sentence there
fore concerning them is that they shall
pay either of them a fine of 20 shil-
lings to the colony"

Do You Know How to Choose a Table?

homelikeness,' says Lucy Abbott

in a way determines the style OF
table which should be used in
this room. No unstable gilt
affairs are allowed. no limitations
OF dainty inlay Instead, ma
hOgany. oak and other choice
woods are used. and also wicker and
willow. These should. of course,
be IN style TO harmo1ize with the
rest of the furniture. BE sure to
choose tables that are built on
good simple lines and that have
beautiful finish, not the hard. shiny
and cheap-looking surface.

and the whole family naturally

IF YOU do not wish to have a
