And Sec what You VIII Get From
Mail Order Houses.

II Is not often that the printers get
a chance to compete With the mail or
der house, but one day last week one
Of the men Of this town came down TO
the Reflector office with 9 great,
long piece Of news that was pref
" good sample Of a free advertise
ment. While the gentleman was In
the office II occurred TO the news
paper man that this same gentleman
wasa frequent patronizer Of q mail
order printery, and the local printers
seldom got any Of his work. We
gently reminded the man OF the fact
and asked him to send his article
down to toe Kansas City firm that
has been doing his work, and We felt
sure that he would be accommodated.
It's funny how much nerve at times
some people have and when they
are known to every merchant in the
city as a patroniser Of the mall order
house, to ask their local people TO
give them all the free Eravy. II the
people who patronias the mail order
printing houses will kindly send all
their notices to Kansas City for pubs
iIeation We feel sure the home print
ers win be very thankful and Il VIII
perhaps save a lot Of embarrassing
explaining.

Coming Orpheum Attractions,

The second week in January promises
TO be lively with high grade attractions
at the Orpheum Theatre.
The week opens Monday night, the
Sth, with THE Thief" Would you
steal to make yourself pretty in the eyes
of your husband? That is the question
which is asked in "The Thief" a sue
cess, the leading role of which was
created by Margaret Ellington in the Ly
ueum Theatre, New York, and which
was crowded 10 the doors each night of
its presentation during two solid seasons.
In the present production, which is
complete in every detail, Miss Edytha
Ketchum, the only actress who has
dared to follow Phoebe Davis in the
star part of "Way Down East" will as
sumo the role created by Miss Ellington.
Miss Ketchum will be supported by a
company of players, each member Of
which was engaged for special fitness
for the part assigned.
On Tuesday night, Jan. 9th, the at
traction at the Orpheum will be the lat
est three act musical comedy, entitled
"The Mayor of New Town." and
which will be presented as interpreted
by the famous "Smart Set" company.
Salem Tut Whitney, comedian OF
skill and ability is at the head of the or
ganization, and he will be assisted by
forty fun makers. The company pro
videS an elaborate senic equipment, and
over two dozen song hits will be fea
lures of the production.
"The Third Degree" to be seen al
the Orpheum on Thursday, Jan. IL,
seems 10 be the center of popularity, as
theatre goerS everywhere are said to be
responding with great firmness to this
remarkable drama. They give ample
proof of their enjoyment of Charles
Klein's cleverness in disclosing the evils
too frequently occasioned by the police
in making preliminary investigations,
and the topic is surely a timely one
here. The story of the play adheres TO
a plausible vein and is filled with hu-
man interest that would make "The
Third Degree" success were it not the
public teacher that ii is. NotableS in the
cast are Grace Lord, Raymond Wells,
Frank Patton, Chas. T. Del Vochio, Ed
mond Sprague, VIM. Weston and others.

THE NEW SOUTH
FARM And HOME co.
Lands Of this Colony Rapidly
Filling with Permanent
Settlers.

Hon. Frank Harris, editor of the
Ocala Banner went over the lands of the
New South Farm and Home Co. which
lie between this city and Ocala, some
two weeks ago, and gives the following
account of his trip:
In company with Mr.. Seig and mum
Der of other gentlemen the editor ol
this paper went over the properties ol
this company few days ago.
They begin near Silver Springs and
stretch beyond Interlachen in the direc
tion of Palatka.
1t is natural that the company has
within its holdings variety of soils
ranging from very poor 10 very excel
lent and as many different kinds as can
be embraced within these two extremes.
There is one thing especially notice
able about this company and that is its
candor.
1t prints magazine, and among other
things il gives pictorial illustrations ol
the colony development, and these pic
lures tell their own Story-they are ex-
act reproductions. A log house is not
pictured as frame dwelling, nor is a
frame dwelling palmed off as brick oil
stone one, but every printed picture is
true TO life.
Another thing we noticed-the set
tiers seemed well pleased. Mr. Magaw,
the field manager, is friend of every
settler, and is hailed as such, and unless
all signs fail is held in high esteem by
them.
We are told that this comes about by
NJ, MoOo,,Jc cnIinitn1n in
ing that every coloniSt is satisfied. II
one does not like his purchase he is per
mitted 10 exchange it for tract tha
suits him better, and if he is still unsatiS
fled his money is refunded 10 him.
Several towns within the colony lands
have already sprung into existence and
are forging ahead with wonderful
strides.
Burbank is the initial town, and it'
settlers have been so far successful as tc
have captured sixteen OF the prizes a
our late Marion county fair.
Fort Mccoy shows more growth thai
Burbank, and the new settlers at Ken
wood find it difficult matter to obtaiI
lumber fast enough to supply their de
mandS.
Orange Springs is among the com
pany's possessions. In -bellum day
this was famous health resort, ant
persons flocked there from a radius O
many miles, and many marvellous cur C
of diseases are reported. The compan
proposes to restore this resort TO il
former grandeur.
The Rentz railroad, that runs througI
the company's property, is now com
pleted to Palatka, and the enterpriSini
protector has built two immense sav
mills, one at Silver Springs and one a
Fort Mccoy, and from these lumber
supplied to the settlers for building pur
poses.
The promoters of the colony, and The
colonists, are enthusiastic, and this pa
per hopes that our new settlers, pur
suing the latest scientific methods, viii
all become prosperous, and, joining
hands with the "old timers" will be
successful in making Florida a grea
state.

INTERLACHEN ITEMS.

The Christmas season was gaily
ushered in al the school house Friday
afternoon, when the school children
gave little entertainment with music
and recitations, and had tree generous
ly laden with gifts for teachers and pu-
pills. The beautiful decorations of bam-
boo and holly gave the school rooms
quite holiday appearance. Quite a
number of parents and friends were in
attendance, and all united in congratu-
lating the three teachers upon the sue
cess of their enterprise. The school is
now closed for the holiday vacation and
the teachers have gone TO their respec-
tive homes.
Saturday evening the Methodist church
was thronged to the doors by an appre-
ciative congregation which enjoyed TO
the full extent the delightful program
prepared for them under the capable
leadership of Mrs. Annie c. Jones. The
solo work of the tiny tots was especially
pleasing. Master Emil Anderson, our
little Swedish genius, captivated us all
with his exquisite violin music. Santa
Claus, somewhat breathless from his
long journey, but ever smiling and jolly,
arrived just in time to aid in diStribut-
ing the much priced fruit of the Christ
mas tree.
On Christmas morning an appropriate
and uplifting service was held in the
little Episcopal chapel, the music led by
Master Emil Anderson with his violin,
assisted by Miss Homel at the organ, be-
ing beautifully rendered.
Tuesday evening the Sunday school
of the Congregational church gave a
Christmas party at the hall. Here again
the brightly laden tree and the profuSion
of Christmas greens gave the bare room
an air of holiday cheer and hospitality.
Good old Christmas hymns by the choir,
selected music by the young girls, with
piano solos, and the violin, entertained
the audience until the appearance of
good ST. Nick. gave the signal for dis.
tributing the many gifts, and after the
tree had been despoiled of its burden,
the young people INDUCED in lively
games.
Just as most of our townSpeop!e were
al supper on Tuesday evening, the
church bell pealed out an alarm of fire,
and everybody rushed TO the rescue. An
accident with gasoline range had set

occupied by two families, Mrs. Nickel
and the Robert Munroes. The flames
spread SO rapidly that no attempt could
be made to save the building, and with
the exception of the Munroe household
goods in the front of the building, al
most everything was destroyed. Both
families were heavy losers, and Mr..
Munroe was quite severely burned abou
his head and hands. For time much
apprehension was felt for the safety o
the adjacent houses but fortunately there
was little wind and the burning embers
were not widely scattered. Not only
the building, bul the beautiful trees sur
rounding it, are ruined
Among those from afar who have
come here for the holiday season are
Misses Wylie, Miss Emma Hester, Mr.,
Chas. Brush, Fred Steele, and Mrs.
Thorburn's son, Mr.. Mugg.
Mr.. and Mrs. Stefan Won Klepinski,
after a pleasant sojourn here of several
months left Tuesday for Virginia.

The Old Year is Passing.

The year 1911, now nearly all in, has
been good year to Palatka and Putnam
county-and for that matter TO the state
and nation. But it is the home blessings
we best appreciate, therefore the News
mentions them first.
Our farmers and fruit growers have
been blessed with good prices in lieu
of abundant yields, and the later condi
tions of weather as presented TO US by
Providence are filled with promise for
the year soon to be ushered in.
There has been neither famine, nor
pestilence, nor any far-reaching disaster.
And except in one or two cases under
care of the county, there are none of
our people who suffer the humiliations
of poverty.
True, we have met some disaster in
the temporary loss of certain great man
ufacturing enterprises, but these, great
as they were, are insignificant when
placed in the balance with our blessings.
Palatka and Putnam county are riding
forward on the crest of the wave of
prosperity that is just now sweeping our
glorious old state. The year 1911 has,
more than any other in the past decade,
placed them both permanently in the
public eye.
AS a commercial center Palatka takes
rank with the largest cities in the state,
and many travelling men insist that in
the enterprise displayed by our business
houses, this city ranks next in import
ance to the metropolis of the state.
The new year is coming TO US next
Monday laden with even greater promise.
fInr oh, Nttn
should get even closer together In
union only is there strength for the
greatest accomplishment. The e News
could express to the people of Palatka
no more important New Year greeting
than this ''May we all, in this coming
year of 1912, make a hard pull, steady
pull and pull altogether for Palatka
and Putnam county"
The Palatka News also wishes all the
people A HAPPY NEW YEAR.

DIR. R. D. Whiteside Weds.

DR.. Richard D. WhiteSide, OF this city,
welded Miss Lois Vida Moye, of Area
dia last evening at 1880 O'Clock at the
home ,of the BRIDES parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. r. G. Moye, in the presence of a
few relatives and friends. The marriage
was very pretty, and will be of much in
terest in this city, where DR.. Whiteside
is a prominent dentist, and has been
identified in social life of Tampa for
several years. His bride is charming
young woman and lived in this city for
a couple of years with her uncle, DR.. w.
G. Mason and family, and has many
friends here. DR.. and Mrs. WhiteSide
will be at home TO their friends after
the middle of January, al bungalow on
Michigan avenue. Tampa Tribune.
The following account of the we'd
ding is taking from the Arcadia News:
One of Arcadia's favorite bellies, Miss
Lois Vida Moye, was today married at
the home of the brides parents in Ar
cadia, at 4:3O p. M, to Dr. r. D. White
side, the popular dentist of Tampa.
The affair was purely home wedding,
only the immediate relatives and friends
of the bride and groom being present.
The Rev. D. B. Sweat performed the
ceremony at the appointed time, at the
close of the dinner festivities Not a
ripple of discord or embarrassment
marred the occasion, though ii was
rainy without. Among the features OF
the dinner was wedding cake contain
ing a ring, which fell TO the good for
tune of Miss Marie McCready.
The bride has lived in Tampa for
years; but nevertheless, Arcadia claims
her, as her childhood was spent here.
She was looked upon with pride be-
cause of this, and her charming person
ality will remain as a sweet vision oI
the past, though fate has carried her
away a happy bride. The pair left or
the 5:20 p. M, train and will take holi
day visiting tour which will include
Jacksonville and other points.
