At the Orpheum.

The pictures at the Orpheum 5 and 10
cent theater have been especially good
all this week and have certainly been
appreciated by patrons, as shown by the
large attendance. Wednesday six films
were shown and last night there were
seven. This is an unusually large mum.
Der.
The Whitney Sisters, song and dance
artists, wern't much, but even the man.
agement of a theater gets Stung once and
occasionally. These girls couldn't quite
dance. However, the audience didn't
mind, for all felt they were getting three
or four times their moneys worth in
pictures.
Last night Bailey and Edwards, "Silly
Sam and the Soubrette," began an en-
gagement which continues through the
balance of the week. They are really
clever people and were roundly applaud
ed, showing the audience appreciates
the efforts of Manager Kalbfield to pu
on attractions that please. The theatel
will be crowded the balance of tho
week.
Beginning Monday, George Murphy
the dancing demon and Helen Scott
novelty singer, will be the stage attrac
ton for three nights.
The Orphenm habit is growing rap
idly.

Road Complete to Hunter.

II. Wylie of Interlachen, who has
the contract for constructing the hard
surface road from Mannville to Francis,
was in the city yesterday.
Mr.. Wylie states that his road is now
completed to Hunter, full half way, and
that the first five miles of the road is in
fine condition, being so that ii is neither
affected by rains or drought. "ThiS road
is good, hard:highway," said Mr.. Wy
lie, "and | have yet TO hear of one
kick concerning it, Where there was
danger OF water getting on the road.
have made bitches TO carry ii off, so that
no water is ever found standing on il. "
The News has heard many commend
atory remarks from people who have
seen Mr.. Wylie's road and all agree that
it is piece of work that will prove en-
tirely satisfactory.
Mr.. Wylie says that Interlachen is
looking forward TO prosperous year,
and that the advance guard is already
present.
The Palatka- Burbank Colony company
has established its office there, and
many prospective purchasers of land are
visiting the little town daily, some of
whom are so we'll pleased with the
place that they are buying lnterlachen
property. Only the past week Mr..
Wylie sold for Mrs. M. A. Gano, her
90 acre tract at that place to Hugo
Schultz, stranger from the north. OF
this 90 acre, 20 is in orange grove, and
the balance is general farming land.

Presbyterians New Pastor.

The pulpit of the Presbyterian church
which has been vacant since the deeply
regretted resignation of Rev. DIR. Ward
law in the spring, is TO be supplied per
manently at the beginning of the com
ing month. The pulpit committee o.
the church has but recently made ar
D., late of Monticello, Ark.
DR.. Purcell will move TO Palatka with
his family and become the settled supply
of the Presbyterian church, the question
of his call TO the pastorate being de.
ferred until the doctor and the people
of the church become acquainted, and
such arrangement becomes mutually
agreeable.
From the Christian Observer of recent
date, under the department head of
church work, the News clips the follow
ing reference to DR.. Purcell in Month
cello, Ark:
"The pastor, Rev. ]. w. Purcell, D.
D., who supplied the pulpit of his for
mer charge at Keyser, w. Va, during
the vacation of the pastor, Rev. M, B.
Lambdin, returned to his work the first
Sabbath in September. AT the morning
hour, he welcomed into the member
ship of the church twenty-seven new
members, administering the sacrament
of baptism TO twenty of this number.
Two infants were also baptized at the
same hour Perhaps not less than a
dozen more will be admitted soon.
This ingathering is largely the fruits of
a series of union evangelistic meetings
which was held during the month of
August by Rev. John B. Culpepper and
his son, Burke. During the present
short pastorate seventy three members
have been received, making the present
membership of this church something
over three hundred"
