largely augmented by delegation from
the Congregational service.
Rev. T. Cooper was in town last Sat
urday on his way home to his present
appointment at Crystal River, having
been called TO this vicinity by the illness
of his child. The little one is now con-
valescent.
Prominent Palatkans visiting Inter

INDEPENDENT candidate for county
Commissioners, was also granted, on mo-
tion of Com. Rogers and seconded by

of residing on the poor farm or taking
a pension of 50 per month.
The board passed a resolution re.

JOHN B. LENNON
SPEAKS TONIGHT
In Favor of Statewide Prohibi-
ton Amendment.
Great Oratorical Treat in Store for
- Palatkans.

Hon. John B. Lennon, treasurer ol
the American Federation of Labor and
one of the great industrial leaders of the
day, will address the citizens OF Palatka
10 night in behalf of the pending issue
before the people of Florida-the state
wide prohibition amendment.
The local correspondent of the Jack
Sonville Metropolis has announced that
Mr.. Lennon would speak here in behalf
of labor.
That is only partially true. He speaks
against the common enemy OF capital
and labor-the American saloon.
AS treasurer of the American Fedora
ton of Labor Mr.. Lennon has spoken
from one end of the country TO the other,
and like John Mitchell and others of the
great labor leaders of the country is an
avowed enemy of the liquor traffic.
He will present his arguments tonight
from the laboring mans standpoint and
every working man in Palatka should
avail himself of the opportunity af-
forded him by the Florida Anti-Saloon
League to hear this splendid orator.
They should hear him regardless OF
their convictions on the question OF
statewide prohibition, tor his coming
offers an unusual treat for all our citi
zcnS.
His coming to Florida at this time has
no relation TO the labor troubles that are
current in some sections of the state,
and his speech here will not be of the
kind calculated TO stir up enmitieS in
any way.
Every man in Palatka will enjoy the
address of Mr.. Lennon. Come out and
hear him tonight, at the Putnam House
| corner

Turned Him Loose.

Henry V. Parrot, section foremah of
the A. C. L. at West Tocoi, charged
with murder in the first degree, was
discharged by the court this week, the
grand jury having declined to indict
him.
1t will be remembered that Parrot
shot Henry North of that place last June
while the latter was visiting Parrots
wife, during Parrots supposed absence.
North fingered until August, when he
died. A coroners jury decided that
death was due to wounds inflicted by
Parrot, who never denied the shooting.
He had SuSpicioned that North was visit
ing his wife for some time, and on the
night of the shooting Parrot told his
wife he was going to Green Cove
Springs. She saw him board the north
bound freight train. Parrot left the
train a little out from West Tocoi,
waited time and then returned home.
He saw North and his wife together,
and did the shooting.

Certain Streets; Macadam

The board of trustees for city bonds

erty owners on the streets described in
the recent city paving ordinance, requir-
ing that the said property owners pave
the said streets with the material speci-
fled in the ordinance.
Under the law each citizen may pave

lications, himself, and the notice which
will be found in this issue of the News,
is simply TO comply with this provision
of the law. This notice will run for
four weeks.
DR.. Z. S. Grill, chairman of the board
of trustees for city bonds, has informed
the News that inside of 80 days the
board will publish an advertisement

fled.

of Palatka.

North Laurel, South Third, North Third
and Reid streets with vitrified brick.
And parts of North Third, River, Fifth,
Laurel, Kirby and TecumSeh streets

CIRCUIT COURT
HAS heavy DOCKET
Grand Jury Returns Numerous
Indictments-Two For
Murder.

Not Much in Them For the Lawyers.
The only civil case disposed of at the
present term of the Putnam Circuit
Court was the ejectment case of +. 5.
Cone VS.. John Vincent, and in which
the verdict was for the plaintiff.
There were several important civil
cases continued by request OF the attor-
ncyS
Up TO Wednesday evening the grand
| Jury had returned some II indictments,
ranging from cases of breaking and en-
tering, rape, robbery, assault with intent
to murder, TO murder in first degree OF
which latter there were two.
There are also several cases brought
| on information for selling liquor in a
dry county.
The grand jury was still busy up to
yesterday and the prospects were good
for many more indictments. Mr.. l.. l..
Moody of Peniel is foreman of the
grand jury.
The murder indictments were against
old man Jos. ]. Porter, county pauper,
and one against D. L. Gordon, negro.
The great number of cases are against
negroes, few of whom have any money
with which to defend themselves.
The fall term of the Putnam circuit
court does not hold out great promise OF
| financial reward to the attorneys.
Judge Wills appears well pleased with
the new court room, as so also does
States Attorney Rivers. They have
each pronounced the arrangement, as
most convenient.
Some Court Notes.
More than two years ago |. R. SteltS,
charged with selling liquor, admitted to
bail, skipped and forfeited his bond. On
surreptitious visit home early in June
he was arrested and has been in jail
since. When his case came on for trial
there was technical error regarding non
filing of papers. Case was therefore
dismissed because of statute of limita-
| tionS.
John Allen, jr of Peniel who has been
| in Jail several weeks charged with carnal
intercourse with female under is years
OF age, was found not guilty by petit jury
and discharged.
lanes Means, white tramp, convicted
of open and gross lewdneSS, was SEN
fenced to two years at hard labor in the
state prison.
The case of the State VS.. Clifford Mar,
tin and Frank Dewitt, cutting fence OF
another, was not tried, being improper
ly docketed.
The case of State VS.. John Martin and
Frank Dewitt, charged with willfully
and maliciously cutting fence of another,
was mol pressed.
But the Martins and Dewitt are from
Johnson and there was another indict
ment against Clifford Martin and Frank
Dewitt for willfully cutting fence en-,
closing land of another.
The grand jury declined TO find true
bill in the case of the State VS. John Mar
tin charged with impersonating an
officer

NOW DON'T GET GAY"
PaIatka's little Cuba

"We now have four Cuban restaurants
in Palatka," said Mr.. Wodeska, of Cor
raj, WodeSka & Co., ''and the boys are
quite we'll satisfied with their Little
Cuba in this city. One of these res
taurantS, that in the Shelley building, is
for whites, and it is managed by Fernan-
do Llama, one of the finest Cuban cooks
ever in Tampa, and who yet has a res
taurant in that city. He serves some
very fine dishes, one of chicken in Gu
ban style that costs $1.OO, but IFS
worth the money. OF course the boys
feel better, and are more satisfied with
their own eating places, though they
miss their wine at dinner We have
close to 500 Cuban cigar makers in Pa
latka now"
Fernando Llama told the News through
an interpreter that he expected to have
his restaurant fitted up in better shape
in few days, with number of small
tables and chairs. He is already doing
a good business.
The Cuban cigar makers take cup OF
coffee only in the early morning before
going to work; about TO $3.50 they go
to breakfast. They do not eat again un-
til the days work is over, when they
have good dinner.

Local Option VS.. Prohibition.

EDITOR PALATKA NEWS:
This county is being flooded with a
lot of literature trying TO show TO the
public what good thing local option"
is, and the great injustice of prohibition.
Certainly these good people have not
given the subject careful consideration.
If you found near your good and well
regulated home a disorderly house, or
anything that was unsanitary or obnox-
iouS to your good family and neighborS,
you would at once apply TO the law TO
have ii removed no matter who wanted
their personal Liberty" You must
admit that is correct, and you will say
without hesitation that the law should
protect you, as well as all others.
If the law should protect you and your
neighbor why not protect the entire
district in which you live, and the coun-
ty in which the district is, and the state
in which the county is in, and the entire
fact is, this entire government is one
great family, and if some of our children
want to be naughty and want TO annoy
and make ii uncomfortable for their
brothers and sisters, we presume they
will do so for ages to come. But one
