Marriage of Miss Coverdale.

Simple, but impressive was the marri-
age ceremony which was Solemnized in
the apartments of Miss Maude Coverdale

contracting parties were Miss Catherine
Coverdale, sister of the hospital Superin-
tendcnt, and Mr.. Edison Boyd Arnold of
Malabar, Fla. Rev. F. ]. Langdon, jr.,
pastor OF the Christian church at DeLand
officiated. The ceremony room was
decorated profuSely with palmetto, sweet
bay, and ferns, gift TO the bride from
Mr.. c. f. Turner, and great quantities of
roses from Dr. George L. WEIGH. The
bride was gowned in white crepe de
chine trimmed in heavy lace, with tulle
veil and orange blossoms.
Directly after the ceremony buffet
dinner was served, the color scheme
in the dining room being pink and white.
Mr.. and Mrs. Arnold left on the five
O'Clock train for Jacksonville. They
will spend the summer in the north and
east and will be at home TO their friends
after December LIST, in a newly built
home at Malabar. The bride has been

Handsome Piece of Furniture.

The editor of the Palatka News is I'M
der load of obligations 10 Mr.. Henis
Petermann of this city for the gift of a
beautiful lamp table, the work of Mr..
Peterman's own hand, and of his own
design. The table is particularly vaIu-
able from the fact that it is made of
specially selected pieces of native woods
red cedar, black cypress, and umbrella
and the further fact that the design is
artistic. Since coming into the hands of
the editor the table has been greatly
admired by a score or more of friends,
all of whom have been lavish in their
praises of Mr.. Peterman's designing and
artistic workmanship.
While on the way with this table from
his home TO this office, Mr.. Peterman
had several chances to sell it, and did
take several orders for duplicates. 1t
was Mr.. Peterman who designed and
built the judges bench in the new cir
cult court room, work that has attract
ed possibly more favorable comment
than any work of a similar nature in
Florida. As a designer and worker in
wood Mr.. Peterman has few equals, but
no superior.

The Amende Honorable.

The Florida Times Union recently
got one of Palatka'S orderly citizens
mixed with thief as the following will
show.
Some days ago George Hutchins of
Palatka was in Jacksonville. He was
there arrested for larceny, the only evil
dence against him being that some of
the stolen goods were found stored in
the room he occupied.
The real thieves, E. S. Hogan and
Carrie Adkins, il seems, had occupied
the room just before Hutchins, and in
their flight had left some of the plumber
Hutchins was discharged Immediately
his identity was made known, although
for some reason his name was left on
the police blotter.
The Times Union told of his arrest,
but seeing its mistake corrected its
statement next day
Editor Willis n Ball of the Times
Union also wrote Mr. HutchinS an apollo
gy, OF which the following is a copy.
Jacksonville, Fla, May s, 1911.
Mr.. GEORGE w. HUTCHINs,
Palatka, Fla.
Dear Sir
lNSiSi tlLt gOul udlllC was uSCu III
connection with the Adkins, Hogan
case, but the fault was with the clerk of
the court, who had neglected TO mark
your name off the blotter. We have no
desire TO do you an injustice and hasten
10 make the correction, as you will see
by enclosed clipping.
Very truly yours,
WILLIS w. BALL
Editor-in-c chief.
The following is the correction pub
liShed in the TimeS-Union and referred
TO by Editor Ball.
Through error, il was stated in these
column on May 3, that George Hutchins
was arraigned in the criminal court of
record on charge of grand larceny and
receiving stolen goods, in connection
with the case against f. S. Hogan and
Carrie Adkins This was a mistake, as
there is no case pending against Mr.
HutchinS, although his name still appears
on the court records"

Every man in Fitzgerald who cares
anything for the future of our city, and
every woman for that matter, should be-
stir themselves the balance of this week
in the interest Of the Odd Fellows Home,
Next week it will be too late, the mat
ter will be settled, and how much we
would regret to see some more enterpris-
ing community secure the home.
Fitzgerald has every advantage to
start with, but that fact may really op-
crate against us, for there are people
willing to assume that the committee
can, and will, take care of the citys in
terest without the he p of individual
citiZens
Under the charter the council cannot
appropriate money for that purpose, and
lit is up to the individual property owners
to arm our friends on the committee
with bid that cannot be turned down
by the committee or rejected by the
Grand Lodge even if we secure fav-
orable report from the committee.
Let's send Fitzgeralds representatives
to the Grand Lodge next week armed
with proposition that will be accepted.

clubs in Atlanta which have a large
membership among the most pro-
eressive and influential business
men of the community are in some
instances lining up on the local
option side.
It is understood THAT efforts are
now being made to reconcile the
brewery and whiskey interests, the
former having hitherto been inactive
as the present prohibition law has
vastly increased the sale of near
beer. A number of Georgia brew
cries, however, which at one time
had heavy sales of barrel beer,
claim that the present law is hurt
ing their business, while the big
bottling companies outside the state
are reaping richer harvests than
ever.

Will Fight For Liquor

Atlanta, May 18-The announce
ment made a day or two ago that
the local optionists of the state were
quietly organizing for campaign
before the legislature is confirmed
by statements from officers of the
Anti Saloon League who are at
work trying to get funds to carry
on their warfare.
It is conceded here by all the
interests that the liquor men will
introduce a local option bill at the
legislative session which opens the
latter part of next month.
The Anti-Saloon people are pre-
pairing to ask the legislature for the
repeal of the near beer law, a bill
to regulate locker clubs more rlgldly
and change the word Intoxicating"
to alcoholic" in the prohibition bill.
The liquor men will take the stand
that the Anti-Saloon people, not
satisfied with letting well enough
alone, want to make the law so
drastic that many former prohibi-
tionists are changing sides. The
anti-prohibitionists, therefore, are
preparing to make the fight of their
lives in the warfare which they feel
that the Anti-Saloon League is pre-
cipitating.
The local optionists will argue
further that the law as it now stands
is quite unsatisfactory. The locker
