CONFEDERATE
MEMORIAL DAY.
Judge M. |. Coke, Master of
Ceremonies.

Tuesday, April 10Th, was Memorial
Day, and all over the south the people
came together TO honor the memory OF
those who wore the Gray. In Palatka
appropriate and beautiful services were
held in the Howell theater, under the
auspices of Patton Anderson Chapter,
U. D. c., and afterwards the graves OF
all the soldiers, both Confederate and
Federal, who lie in our two cemeteries
were decorated with flowers and ever
greens.
The services at the theater were at
tended by representative gathering of
the townSpeople, and the sweet old
songs sung by well-trained chorus, the
addresses, and the solo by Miss Moragne,
were all greatly enjoyed.
Judge Coke called the meeting to Or
der and said in part:
Ladies and Gentlemen:-On the 26th
of every April since the Surrender" il
has been the custom of the friends of
the lost cause" all over the south to
gather at their various cemeteries, un-
der the auSpicieS of the Daughters OF the
Confederacy and the United Confeder-
ate Veterans, 10 commemorate the an
niverSary of the close of our great civil
war, and to scatter flowers over the
graves of our dead heroes lying asleep
out yonder in the neighboring ceme-
terieS.
Away back in 1S61-1S65 these heroes
were in the prime of young manhood,
full of life and vigor, with all the hopes
and aspirations that animated those of
us who lived at that time and that in
spire the living to-day. But one by one
they yielded up their lives to diseases
incident TO the long service and to the
cruel bullets of relentless enemy. Ii
is therefore but right and proper that we
should give one day in each year TO
their memory, to decorate their last rest
ing places with garlands of flowers, eu,
logize their unSelfiSh sacrifices, their
patriotism and their many deeds OF
valor."
After these few remarks, Rev. Will
liam Wiley lead the invocation, and the
chorus sang, "Tenting Tonight on the
Old Camp Ground" Then Rev. Mr.
Foster delivered the principal address of
the occasion, and his stirring and elo-
quent- words will be long remembered
by those present.
This was followed by vocal solo,
"He Giveth His Beloved Sleep" by Miss
Louise Moragne, and few Sweeter or
more affecting songs have ever been
heard in Palatka.
Another song by the chorus of ladies'
voices, Crossing the Bar" made fit
ting end to the program, and the crowd
TO the cemeteries to show
their respect and loving remembrance
Of the dead heroes by garlanding their
lOWlY graves once more.

sHEEDY AND TIE sHARPs.
The King Gambler Taught the Small
Fry a Lesson.

Some years ago, when st. Louis was
wide open, Pat Sheedy, king Of gam
blers. was sitting In the corridor Of
the Planters hotel with friend Two
strangers took seats alongside of Shee-
dy and very shortly turned the CONVEX
sation to poker hands They had never
seen Sheedy before and did not know
him, but be looked the part of pros
porous sport" and at the same time
appeared like easy money"
Its too bad" one of the stranger
said, that we haven't another mRil
here. We might get up little game OF
draw poker"
wouldn't mind sitting In myself"
said Sheedy. with a nudge to bis
friend. 81 haven't played poker for
some time"
Suppose we play a little showdown
81 or $5 limit?" one Of the strangers
said
I'm agreeable" Sheedy replied. "and
I guess my friend is. Make 1t a five
dollar limit for an hour or two"
Introductions under fictitious names
on 10th sides followed. and the four
men went to Sheedys suit. On the cut
for the first deal the speaking stranger
received the honor. The way he han
died the cards showed that be was
used to that careless abandon method
that can only come from years of
practice by professional gambler
The suspicious of Sheedy and his
friend were verified by the first hand
shown. Sheedy received three kings,
his friend small full house, the deal
er's friend u pair of tens and the deal
er an ace full. The betting was very
light on the part Of Sheedy and his
friend.
The next deal was Sheedy's. He
took long while arranging the cards.
When they were dealt every one In
the party had fours. Sheedy's hand, of
course, being the highest, The betting
was fast. and when the hands were
shown the speaking gambler suddenly
remembered a long distance telephone
call for himself and friend was await
ing them. They departed hurriedly.
and Pat Sheedy, turning to his friend,
said
My boy, it's been twenty years
since had to do that for living."--

The editor of the Palatka News is be-
tween the "old boy HIMSELF and the
deep sea" OF politics this week The
county campaign committee has made a
list of appointments for the county can
didateS which takes him from the office
every day this week, and there is moth
ing for him to do but go. Mr.. Vickers
is so busy in the job printing depart
ment that it is impossible for him to
give much attention to the editorial de-
partment, and in consequence the paper
will have 10 be gotten out in a slip-shod
manner. The same condition will pre-
vail next week, then will come the pri-
mary, after which we'll know "where
we are at" From then on the News

editor asks the indulgence of his readers,
and, while he is at il, will not forget to
say that he will also appreciate the sup
port of all those who are qualified elec.
tors, in the coming primary.

Best Treatment for Colds.

Most ordinary colds will yield to
the simplest treatment, says the Chi
cago Tribune, ''moderative laxatives
hot foot baths, free perspiration and
an avoidance of exposure to cold and
wet after treatment While this
treatment is simple, it requires con
siderable trouble, and the one adopting
it must remain in doors for day or
two, or a fresh cold is almost sure to
be contracted and in many instances
pneumonia follows. Is it not better
to pin your faith to an old reliable
preparation like { hamberlain's ough
Remedy, that is famous for its cures of
colds and can always be depended
upon? For sale by Ackerman-Stewart

Rheumatism.

More than nine out of every ten cases
of rheumatism are simply rheumatism
of the muscles, due to cold or damp, or
chronic rheumatism In such cases no
internal treatment is required. The
free application of Chamberlain's Lini-
ment is all that is needed, and it is GER
tain to give quick relief Give it
trial and see for yourself how quickly
it relieves the pain and soreness The
medicines usually given internally for
rheumatism are poisonous or very
strong medicines. They are worse
than useless in cases of chronic and
muscu ar rheumatism. For sale by
