Bishop SeSStlmS' Visit.

Bishop SeSSumS' Visit.
Bishop SessumS, who was the
guest of Mr.. and Mrs. Luke White at
the rectory for several days, left on
Monday for Monroe, accompanied by
Rev. H. R. Carsofs archdcacOn OF
North Louisiana. Bishop SesSumS
visits are always wholesome and
helpful, both in connection with his
high office and i'll friendly inter
course. The members of st. Mark s
esteem it the highest privilege to
have him in the city to instruct by
his great sermons, and administer
the rite Of confirmation.
The conservation of St. Mark $
during his visit was the occasion of
deep thankfulness. The tender al
fusion TO old st. Marks and the
many years of faithful Service given
by the Rev. DR.. DalzeIl and the stu
pendous work of the Rev. DR.. Spear
ing, in bringing about the erection
of the new church, were recognized
by the bishop, who emphasized with
deep earnestnesS what their Connec-
ton with st. Marks church meant,
not only to the members, but to the
entire community. f.
The music rendered by the choir
under Prof. Floods direction was
magnificent, and the entire services
uplifting. The decorations were
chiefly in green and white with
crosses of fragrant flowers.
The. church was filled at every
service.
A few persons. perhaps not more
than three, who were present at the
consecration of st. Marks listened
for a name in connection with the
carly history of the church, that was
not mentioned-the namefOf the first
rector Of st. Marks, the Rev. 4. b.
Russell He caused the erection of
This first Episcopal church in
Shreveport and worked with all the
zeal and devotion of a missionary to
build UP the congregation. The war
came before the church was fin
ished; lime and building materials
were scarce, and so. with what could
be procured the building was made
ready for worship. Perhaps there
were not more than a half dozen
families connected with the church
al that time. The first service of
any kind TO take place iii st. Mark S
was The marriage of Miss Annie
Gray TO DR.. Charles A. Bickham. The
church was not entirely noofed, but
under its roof this couple stood and
the marriage ceremony was read by
the Rev. Mr.. Russell The bride was
a young teacher, a graduate Of the
celebrated Patapsco Institute oi
Maryland, who came 10 Shreveport
10 fill the position of goyerness in
The family OF Col Matthew Watson
at his beautiful country home, Idle
wild. The groom was the towns
leading young physician. A few
years after their marriage they re-
moved to New Orleans, when DR.
Bickham became a partner Of the
celebrated DR.. Warren Stone. The
memory of these noted physicians
is cherished not only i'll New Orleans
but over the State.

PUTNAM COUNTY
FORCES AHEAD
Interesting Facts That Indicate
Rapid Advancement.

In his sermon at the Presbyterian
church last Sunday night, Rev. DR.. w.
H. Dodge of Ocala, in seeking to
emphasize the need of greater activity
on the part of the church that ii might
meet the added responsibilities thrust
upon ii by the steady advent of new
families in the county, cited the fact
that in Putnam county alone during the
past year $4,000 acres of land had been
sold in 10 and 20 acre tracts. This in
formation was given Dr. Dodge by the
president of the Ocala Northern Rail
way. ''lt means" continued the
preacher that 5000 different families have
or soon will move into Putnam county" "
The News has no reason TO doubt the
statistics as given by DR.. Dodge.
The immense amount of advertising
being done by the various colonization
companies, has been showing steady re-
suit. These results have been seen
upon the streets of Palatka for the past
year or more.
The work of development is just be-
ginning.
If any one wants to get an idea of the
development of the farming sections
near Palatka, let him take drive on the
east side of the river to Orange Mills
and to the county line. 1t is practically
one solid stretch of thrifty looking po-
talo fields, and these run to Federal
Point and other points on the river.
The tide of emmigration 10 Putnam
county has only just begun. The real
value of our lands is just beginning to
be found out.

TO SEND PICTURE
POST CARDS
Unique and Practical Plan to
Advertise Palatka.

That Monday May 1St be set apart as
"PoSt Card Day" on which day every
citizen OF Palatka be requested 10 send
as many picture postal cards of the city
and county TO friends out of the state as
possible, is the suggestion of that prince
of hustlers and boomers, Willis b. Pow
ell, secretary OF the Tampa board of
trade.
In the mind OF the News no better
scheme for advertising this county has
ever been offered, and the News re-
spectfully urges that the mayor, the city
council and the Palatka board of trade
take the matter in hand and start now TO
make, by proclamation, May 1st, 1911, a
Post Card Day for Palatka.
The county should also join in. Post
card views of the great potato fields
stretching from East Palatka TO Hastings
and Federal Point should be taken and
many other industries of prominence in
the county shown by picture.
Mr.. Powell in his letter to the News
says, among other things, that
THE object of this letter is TO interest
you in Post Card Day for your COM
munity, May 1, 1911. Last May in
augurated Post Card Day for Tampa
and some 10000 post cards were mailed
from Tampa all over the United States.
at was SO successful, although but
short notice was given the project, that
have announced that again on May Isl
Tampa will have another post card day
and we expect to mail 100, 900 post cards
that is about cards for every inhabitant
of the city.
"The plan is quite Inexpensive, the bur
den falls on everybody and small bur
den at that maybe ten TO fifty cents
1t also is helpful to post card dealers as
it gives them chance to get rid OF odds
and ends of stock after busy season.
81 desire the newspapers and publicity
bodies to start hurrah at once on this
project. Each community will be bene
fitted according 10 the number of cards
mailed.
Boards of trade can have local scenes
printed in black ink, any size up TO ; X
inches, and distribute these free o.
charge. Everybody will stamp and ad
dress these cards 10 friends. We go'
rid of 5000 cards last year. :.
"Let Florida work as unit, as does
California. California this March fol
lowed our idea of last May, and one
concern printed and distributed 1000,
900 cards. 1t is said that 10, 900, 600 cards
left that state March 1st. We want the
California spirit in Florida.
John N. Walton president of the Pa
laika board of trade and secretary H. M
de Montmollin who have also had let
ters from Mr.. Powell, are like the News
full of enthusiasm for the plan and a
the next meeting of the board, Monda!
night next, will bring the plan up 10
action,
