Ex.GOUNTY CLERK
JOSEPH PRICE
Answered the Death Summons
on MONDAY.

Joseph Price, lifelong resident of
Palatka, and for 10 years clerk of the
Circuit Court for Putnam county, died at
his home on North Third street last
Monday afternoon about $3.50. Death
was due to hemorragic fever Mr.. Price
was conscious up TO a few moments be.
fore his death, and at his bedside when
the end came were all the members of
his family.
MIR. Price was i'll just one week, and
was confined to his bed but little. On
Friday he sent note to Gay Bros. that
he expected to be on hand to resume
his duties on Monday. But on Saturday
and Sunday his condition became more
alarming, and absent members of the
family were summoned. His end was
peaceful.
Joseph Price was one of the best
known citizens of Putnam county, due
largely TO the fact that for nearly 20
years he was identified officially with
the county'S affairs.
He came TO Palatka with his parents
in the early SOS and while yet a little
boy, and except for few years absence
during and subsequent 10 the Civil War
has lived in this city continuously since.
He was regularly enlisted in the Con.
iederate service, and though too young
for active field duty, was assigned TO the
commiSSary department and for long
time drove a commSSary wagon from
Albany, Ga, 10 Andersonville, where
was located great prison for federal
soldiers.
On his return to Palatka at the close
of the war he workcdaS clerk and book
keeper, and for long term of years was
bookkeeper for the hardware store of
S. J. Kenncrly.
Mr.. Price always took an active inter
est in politics, and was one of the few
men who gave of his time and money
literally to keep up the democratic or
ganization during the dark days of re-
construction and carpet -bagiSm.
He was elected County Tax Collector
in 1890 and served one term, when he
was nominated by the democratic con-
vention for county clerk, defeating in
that gathering former clerk Hargrove.
The incumbent and candidate of the
lcpuDllCdnS Was luC ldlc Ildhh w iIBht'
MIR. Price was elected and served con-
tinuouSly for 10 yearS-from January
1898, TO Jan. 1909, and making record
for efficiency rarely matched.
Mr.. Prices wife, who died many years
ago, was daughter of the late Robert
X. Reid, pioneer business man of this
city. He is survived by two sons, R.
Raymond Price of Jacksonville, and
Joseph Price of this city, and one daugh
ter, Mrs L. B. CurtiSs, also of this city.
The funeral was held at St. MonicaS
Catholic church at p. IN. on Tuesday,
and was conducted by Rev. Father
Barry. The attendance was large and
the floral offerings were numerous and
beautiful. From the church the body
was taken to the Catholic cemetery for
scpulchre.
In all parts OF the county and in near
ly every home there will be sorrow be-
cause of the death OF Joseph Price-a
man whose life was guided by the "Gol-
den Rule"

Marion County Fair.

The enterprising people of our neigh
boring county of Marion are making
great and extensive preparations for the
annual Marion County Fair, which will
open its gates next Tuesday the 2lst
inst.
The prime object of this fair is to aid
in the forward movement now going on
in Florida and TO show what can be pro
duced from the soil. Marion is one OF
the oldest and most productive trucking
and agricultural counties in Florida, and
her people are bending every energy TO
make the coming fair bigger and better
than any in its history
With the opening OF the new Ocala
Northern Railway TO this city and the
consequent shortening of the distance
between Palatka and 0cala, il is hoped
that the people of the two cities will be-
come better neighbois There is a
profit for every Putnam county farmer
who attends this fair.

Parson Brown Oranges at $2.25

Parson Browns are bringing S2.25 (. O..
b., and will continue TO do so until the
crop is exhausted. This is the price
fixed by the Florida Citrus Exchaue e
and this is the price the grower is get
ting. Ii has been many year since the
grower got what he wanted and not
what the other fellow would pay.
Grapefruit is bringing from $3.50 to
S375 f. o. b. but this puts il at very
high price for the consumer, and when
the fruit moves more heavily this price
must come down.

THE BROWARD
MONUMENT FUND
An Appeal From the Secretary
to the People OF Florida.

The Broward monument committee
for the state desires TO announce that
the Hons. H. A. Gray and T. J. Fearn-
side of Palatka are members of this
committee for Putnam county and au-
thorized to receive subscriptions TO the
fund now being raised for the purpose
of erecting monument TO the late Ma.
poleon B. Broward, former Governor of
Florida and U. S. Senator elect. Sub
scriptions will be forwarded to the treas
urer, Hon. w, H. Milton of Mariana,
to whom all checks should be made
payable. No stipulated amount is asked
as the State Committee wishes TO make
this in the nature of free will offering,
assuring the public that dimes will be
welcome as we'll as dollars. A receipt
bearing the likeness of Governor Brow
ard will be mailed TO every subscriber
who will give his name and address
The life Of n. B. Broward was an OBJ
iect lesson in rugged honesty, perSever-
ance, and determination TO make right
triumph over wrong, and the object OF
the proposed monument is TO show TO
future as we'll as present generations
that the world appreciates such qualities
and will hold them in rememberance.
The man who spent his life in the effort
10 uplift humanity, TO secure equal op'
portunitieS for all; who gave the people
all he had of the energy and activity
that made him so great force Tor good,
surely deserves from the people he
sought TO serve the perpetuation OF his
memory, for it is to such examples that
new generations must look for the in
spiration that shall make their own lives
a benefit to men.
The committee feels that the people,
who believed in him and in whom he
believed, will not let his memory perish
from the earth, but will llreSpond prompt,
ly and generously TO this call for aid and
cooperation in the work they have un-
dertaken. -

Growing Putnam County Town.

Mr. E. P. Rentz, president of the
Ocala Northern Railroad, in speaking OF
the conditions along his road in Putnam
county, says that the growth of Ken
wood, the new town Just started, six
miles northeast of Orange Springs, has
been phenomenal. Several months ago
il was scarcely more than "clean space
in the public road," and today ii is a
hustling little business town, with
houses being erected in all directions.

FULTON SUPERIOR COURT AND

ARE ABOUT TO CLASH.

Atlanta, Oct. 31.-A big row is likely
to take place shortly between the
Fulton superior court authorities and
the local militia, mainly the Fifth
regiment, n. G. G.
1t is about the purchase Of military
exemptions from jury duty. Judge
John T. Pendleton, senior judge of the
superior court, has announced that he
will not excuse jurymen on military
exemptions when it is shown they
bought the exemptions subsequent to
being subpoenaed to serve on the jury.
The military men say he will have
to, because, they declare, the law
does not leave the excusing discre-
tionary with the judge, it says, shall
be exempt"
The militia officers declare that Il
Judge Pendleton's rule were enforced
It would cut into their revenue, as
many people do not think Of buying
exemptions until they are actually
summoned to serve on a jury.

BASEBALL FOR DENVER.

Maybe Denver will have the sport
that they have beer looking for in
the near future. OF course, we all
like baseball, and l think it is no
more than right that we should be up
with other cities in the line of out
door sport. There are enough ne
groes in Denver to support one good
team. and if things go we'll | think
that ve will be able to get lease on
the Old University park and then we
will have a ball park of our own.
The Hocky Mountain Athletic Club
team will go in spring practice the
first of April, so watch folks for
something good in baseball this sea-
son, as we are contemplating bring
ing teams from all adjoining states to
Denver to play.

Joe Woodman, manager of our Sam

time trying to get match for Sam.
But he is still trying and says he will
20 to Paris and make Sam McVey
fight Langford or else leave the gay
city forever Battling Jim Johnson
and Joe .Tennette will probably do A
battle in the next few weeks in Paris.
Bob Armstrong, the famous American
negro trainer. has also gone to Paris,
where he will handle some of the
best in the business. Langford will
no doubt be his man. as they were
working together before Sam left this
country.
