PALATKA'S NEW
ICE & STORAGE GO.
Will Soon be Ready for Busi.
ness-A Modern Plant.

The new and modern plant of the
Putnam Ice & Storage Co. at the corner
of Sixth and Main streets is rapidly
nearing completion.
Mr.. II. D. Atkins, the superintendent
tells the News he hopes TO begin manu-
featuring ice next week. He may do
so, but Mr. ]. w. Gibson, president OF
the company, says that June lSt would
be safer date to select.
Have you seen the plant? II not, go
out and look at it. 1t has look that
tells of the expenditure of lot of money
"a look OF permanence.
The big building is of concrete walls
and is size 55 1903 feet.
Inside this large structure expert work
men are engaged in, and have almost
completed the installation of one OF the
York Manufacturing Co.'S latest model,
flooded system compression machines
with capacity of 20 tons of ice per day.
So If the new company doesn't make
good ice il will not be for lack OF the
best machinery.
The plant is also lucky in having a
fine flowing we'll which sends a four
inch stream is feet into the air from
depth of 1873 feet-so high that 1t runs
over all the compressorS and saves the
expense of ten horse power pumping
engine. This water supply is also
double filtered before used for making
ice.
This new ice making company is
Palatka concern and is headed by John
w. Glisson, president; H. D. Atkins,
vice president and general manager, and
Randall Wells, secretary and treasurer.
The company will be going out after
a share of the local patronage in few
days, and its agents will be instructed TO
promise high grade of ice and prompt
service.
The new company will not go into
any ice trust or combine, but will be in
dependent. 1t simply wants the privi-
lege of selling good ice TO any customer
who may apply, no matter where he
may live.
The new company certainly has
model and modern plant And ii is also
finely situated for shipping purposes,
being on the line of the old Florida
Southern Ry.

Mr.. Tilghman Robbed.

Sneak thieves entered the sleeping
apartment of Rev. N. ]. Tilghman last
Tuesday night through the window. On
retiring Mr.. Tilghman usually places his
clothing on a chair, but on getting up
Wednesday morning the clothing was
not in the room. This led him to in
vestigate. His clothes were found out
on the porch floor, the pockets having
been rifled. The only thing he missed
was pair OF gold framed spectacles,
which he needs badly. He had some
money in a secret pocket, but this was
not found.
Mr.. Tilghman says that he pities a
poor thief, and if this one will bring OF
send his spectacles back he would be
willing to pay for them and not prose
cute. He needs the glasses very much
and would have difficulty in getting an
other pair to fit his impaired vision.

Beautiful Church Wedding.

The marriage of Miss Annie G. Reed
of this city to Mr.. James K. Coogler OF
Biooksville was solemnized at the Pres
byterian church at 1890 last Monday
morning, Rev. DR.. ]. w. Purcell, pastor
of the church, officiating.
Long before the hour set for the cere-
mony society people of Palatka began
filling the church edifice and it was
soon crowded to the doors. The peo-
pie of Palatka felt and desired to show
their interest in the popular bride.
Preceded by the four ushers, MesSrS.
Fred T. Merrill, Howard L. Gardner,
Jerome D. Bruce and Louis D. Phillips,
the prospective bride and groom enter
ed the church and slowly proceeded up
the center aisle to the altar to
the strains of the MendelsSohn's we'd
ding march beautifully rendered on the
pipe organ by Miss Mabel BasSett.
There were no attendants, the bride
and groom alone standing before the of
ficiating minister and making their VOWS.
The church was beautifully decorated
in green and white, the work of young
lady friends of the bride.
Atthe conclusion of the ceremony the
newly married couple passed down and
out OF the church to sweet strains from
the organ, went direct TO the station and
took the southbound train for Brooks
Vile, their future home.
The bride was handsomely gowned in
blue serge going-away habit, tailor
made.
Mrs. CoogIer had long presided over
the organ at the Presbyterian church,
and it was fitting that she should be the
first bride to step to the altar accompan
led by its music.
