Johnny Jones's Exposition.

Palatka people all have pleasant re-
collection of the Johnny Jones ExpoSi-
ton shows which were here during
bridge opening week, and will be glad
Johnny is coming again.
The shows will be here for the en-
tire week beginning next Monday, Janu-
ary I'd, and will exhibit at the corner OF
Sixth and Main streets.
The company is composed of IA high
class attractions, as well as numerous
concessions. Ii is, as a whole, said 10
be one of the cleancSt shows in exist
ence. Those who take part are raised
above the average bespangled perform
ers. They are in a class by themselves.
| The shows are of a character TO please
the modest. There is nothing vulgar.
| But there is amusement, and lots OF 1t.
|, One feature, probably the most valu-
able, is the Jones trained wild animal
exhibit, with Americas foremost animal
trainer and Subjugator, Capt. Curley Will
son, and his famous royal Bengal tigers,
producing the great spectacle which has
been termed the Gathering of the Cal
lants." This spectacle approaches a
living illustration of the parable oil the
lion and the lamb. Ferocious foes are
brought together in domestcity and do
the bidding of their mutual enemy
man.
The plantation show is composed OF
the best colored comedians, singers and
dance artists on the road. The free at
fractions alone are wonderful, but
What's the use? Palatka people know
Iohuny Jones and his magnificent shows,

HON. w. A. BLOUNT
TO VISIT PALATKA
Will Address Citizens in In.
terest of his Candidacy,
Friday Night, January
9Th.

Hon. w. A. Blount of Pensacola.
whom many regard as the leading man
in the race for the office of United
States Senator, and whom all admit TO
be the ableSt public man in Florida TO-
day, will address the citizens of Palatka
and Putnam county at the Court house
on Friday night of next week, January
9th.
The News is glad that Mr.. Blount has
found time TO visit Palatka and address
the people. He spent a part of dav
here several weeks ago, at which time
he stated that the time was so short and
the territory TO be covered so great, that
he thought ii doubtful if he would be
able TO visit Palatka again during the
campaign.
But Mr.. Blount has many influential
friends among the business men and
farmers of Palatka and the county, and
with the rapid growth of the Blount
sentiment here, they have probably
urged him TO come and make an address.
MIR. Blount is a great speaker, one
who has the happy faculty of making
converts wherever he addresses an au-
dience. His strength is increasing
daily and rapidly in all parts of the
state, and the press reports generally
concede that he will be either the first
or second man in the first primary
that it lays between him and John n. c.
Stockton, and that these two will have
TO fight ii out in the second.
The News trusts that the people OF
the city and county will turn out strong
at the coming meeting and give this
distinguished citizen a hearty reception.

INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

Christmas has come and gone, and the
holiday was celebrated in lnterlachen in
the customary fashion. On Saturday
night the Congregational church, gaily
bedecked with autumn foliage and
Christmas holly, threw open its doors;
an excellent program of recitations and
music, prepared under the supervision
of Prof. and Mrs. Stock, entertained the
audience, and after the program the
Christmas tree was relieved of its rich
fruitagc, the Christmas harvest of sweets
and toys, of books and other good things
that delight the boys and girls.
On Monday evening the Methodist
church was the scene of gayety, and
again we listened to an enjoyable pro-
gram, one feature of which, the solo by
wee Miss Thekla Wylie, should be given
special mention. The church was very
beautifully decorated with holly, palm
and gay Christmas bells, and the tree
bore fruit similar to that of the Congre-
gational one on Christmas Eve. Al
both churches old Santa made his annual
visit, to the delight of the tiny tots.
Rev. Benjamin Stock, who is home
for a vacation, assisted in the morning
services at the Congregational church
on Christmas morning, preaching an ex-
cellent sermon and, with the aid of Mrs.
Ballou, rendering some special music
that was greatly appreciated.
The office force of the New South
Farm & Home Co. went TO Ocala Satur-
day to participate in Christmas celebra-
tion, and were royalty entertained by
f. B. Magaw, the genial Florida manager.
Miss Evelyn McLennan, Stenographer
for the company, left for Chicago last
week to spend the holiday vacation there
and will be absent two weeks.
Mrs. Annie c. Jones entertained the
children Tuesday afternoon at delight
full social. Games were played, a de-
lectable Christmas pie, consisting of a
surprising filling of Christmas gifts OF
various kinds, was served, each young
guest receiving 'Slice" of the Christ
mas good cheer hidden by the deceptive
crust. Dainty refreshments were served,
and altogether the children voted the
occasion merry one, as all holiday
functions should be.
Some one was unfortunate enough,
Saturday night, to lose, at the Congrega,
tional church a pin, emblem of a re
ligious order. This piece of jewelry
was found by Mrs. Townsend and awaits
claimant.
Miss Erma Baker has joined the coteriC
of young teachers home for the holidays
Miss Winifred Wylie is suffering from
prolonged attack of the grippe and i:
greatly missed in the social affairs of he
young friends
Since the placement in St. Andrews
Episcopal church of the handsome organ
presented by Mrs. Weber and Miss Marth
Weber as a memorial to Albert Weber
the patrons of the school have purchased
the old church organ and will install i

YANKEE PEG.LEGS
OWN HOUSEB0AT
Travel in Style and Live Like
Lords-Make Living by
Begging in Streets.

The charitable people of Palatka will
receive a 'jolt" when they read this.
Some will still hold that they have done
a good deed; others will think different
ly. But whether good or whether bad
depends on how they take ii.
During the past two weeks Palatka
has sheltered lot of street bcggarS.
All of them were we'll dressed, intelli-
gent looking men with every evidence
Of being good feeders. They were per
feet specimens of manhood, except that
they were short leg or arm each.
These men spent the days sitting on
the sidewalk in front of the Ackerman
Stewart Co.'S store with their hats in
hand asking aims of the passelS-by.
Most every one gave unto them. 1t
was the Christmas time and the hearts of
all Palatkans were filled with the
Christmas spirit; they gave and asked no
questions.
These beggars spent their evenings,
after the toll" of the day was over, down
at the shooting gallery or in the bowl
ing tent spending a portion of the
money given them by tender-hearted
people TO buy bread.
But that isn't all. These beggars left
Palatla on Wednesday. And they did
not walk out of town like beggars,
either. Not much. During all their
stay here they had launch, or power
houSeboat, on which they lived. They
came to Palatka in style and lcft-ditto.
There were four of them. They are
touring the south in their own comforta-
bly, equipped boat Just before with
drawing themselves from our hoSpitable
shores they went into Gay Bros. big
down town store and replenished their
larder.
Did they buy grits and bacon and
stale bread and potatoes?
Not them. This was q. case where
"beggarS are chooSerS" and they chose
like connoiSSeurS in the art of feeding.
| They were out for time and were en-
| Toying TO the full true-hearted Southern
hospitality.
Plain hog and harmony might do for
the laboring classes, but not for your
gentlemen of leisure out TO see the
country on pleasure trip.
So they laid in supply of food suited
TO their tastes and stations in life. The
supply consisted of stuffed olives, the
most expensive canned peas, corn, va
riety of the National Biscuit Co.'S beSt
package goods, block butter of the very
best grade, canned fruits, plum puddingS
ETC., and when it came TO coffee-tht
ordinary 25 cent brand wouldn't do
they had TO have the best; and they go
it and paid for it. Mr.. George E. Gay
who was present to see that his distin
guiShed customers were properly waitet
on, will tell you that these gentlemen
were posted on the quality of goods ant
that nothing of the ordinary would sui
them
They informed him that it was thei
purpose to go down the east coast via
the canal, taking in leisurly the differ
ent points of interest, and that thei
tour would end at Key West.
This is the season of the year whel
the Yankee beggar is abroad in thu
southland. The majority of them are
crooks as well as beggarS and few o
them are deserving

kind" at the Christmas time.

eating of humble pie once in awhile.
In late years the scrub is getting
more consideration than in the old
days. Yet the men play principally
for the love of the game and in order

It is this opportunity to analyze the
big games, coupled with the chance to
get practically as good coaching as the
