Silver-Tongued Orator Is Heard.

An audience of about two hundred as
sembled in the courthouse to hear Hon.
E. n. Calhoun OF Palatka speak in advo-
cacy of the nomination of Senator Italia
ferro. This young speaker made very
clear and forceful address and was en-.
Enthusiastically applauded on various occa-
sions, and, no doubt, made clearer some
of the accusations made by the Taliafer-
70 people against Governor Broward
Both offensive and defensive arguments
were used, and with seemingly good
effect. His main points were to show
how Broward has gone absolutely back
on his promises TO the people. Senator
Taliaferro was held up as one of the
people, as a Sympathiser with them in
their interests
Hon. T. L. Clarke took few minutes
to tell of what he thought of Broward'S
private deals as public officer and made
it entirely plain that he believed he
should be sent TO an entirely different
place than the U. S. enate.-Monticello

new HOSPITAL IS
neat and CLEAN.
And Affords Every Comfort to
Patients,

Since the awakening OF Palatka,
dating back some five or six years, there
is no institution more creditable to
the aroused civic pride Of our city than
its new hospital. -,
The Palatka Hospital occupies the old
Dunn house on the corner OF Emmett
and Kirkland streets; is only five blocks
from the heart OF the city, and is in a
quiet, residential part where the sick
cannot be disturbed by the clatter Of
traffic on brick streets.
The management consists OF a board
of directors chosen from the city ply
SicianS, members of the board OF trade
and representative women from all OF
the churches. In fact, it belongs TO the
whole community and knows no special
creed or school of medicine.
As all the doctors are interested in the
hospital and can bring patients there, ii
saves them much time and strength
making tedious trips into the country
districts as heretofore. Besides two
main wards for men and women, res.
pectively, there are number OF rooms
for private patients, a completely
equipped operating room, and a ward
for charity patients is new being fitted
up.
What strikes one most forcibly is the
daintinesS and neatneSS o. everything
about the house, from the white caps
and dresses of the nurses to the kitchens
and porcheS. No one chooses 10 go TO
hospital, but if such i'll luck does be-
fall, il ought to be comfort 10 the PEG.
pie of this and neighboring sections to
be i'll in such an attractive place and I'M
der such good care.
Since its opening in January there has
been no time when there were not pa
tientS under treatment. Several mater
nifty cases have been cared for and it
ought to be happy solution OF this oft
time vexationS question for people liv-
ing out of town.
The business firms of Palatka have
been most generous in their help TO the
Hospital and the directors wish TO thank
through your columns, the Wilson Cy.
press Co. for a gift of $50, through Mr..
A. +. Wilson at the opening in January;
The Selden Cypress Door Co. for
screens for the entire house at merely
nominal cost. The Telephone Co. for
free telephone; Mr.. RamSaur of the Ack
erman Stewart Co. for wall paper for the
new ward. Mrs. Weaver for hospital
bed and Others who have intimated a
desire TO help in the good work.
The president of the Hospital is Mrs.
Edwin Kirby, Mrs. Fannie D. Ackerman
is ice-preSident, Mrs. Peter Gardner.
secretary, and Mrs. c. f. Rowton, treas.
urer Two most capable nurses have
been found in Mrs. Williams and her
sister, Miss Horton. The president or
any OF the physicians of Palatka can and
will most gladly answer any further in
quirieS in regard to this institution OF
which all Pu lam county may feel ius',
proud.
