Manager Kalbfield has been in cores |
pOndenCe with the Sun Bros. (big circus |
people, with the view of having them |
open the coming season in this city and |
from a letter received this week il |
seems more than probable that he will |
succeed. In event the circus does open |
in Palatka it means that 100 members OF |
the company will be here for a week or
10 days for rehearsal, and that their stay, |
with the live stock in the circus, means |
much money will be spent with Palatka |
merchants. The city should encourage |
the coming of this big aggregation TO |
the extent of rebating the customary |
license. 'Rah for Kalbfield.

Johnson Station, this county, was before
Judge Coke this week for an examina-

Hagan made the examination and their |
verdict was that Gideon was not insane, |
and he was discharged. He is not one
of the members of the Johnson family |
for whom the place was named, fact |
that would be apparent to any one see
ing him. Gideon wears long black
whiskerS with an ecru fringe. He
dresses and looks queer, and his head
does not appear TO be ponderouS with
mental machinery, but it will no doubt
please him TO learn officially that what
he has is working smoothly and with
out friction
