FEDERAL POINTS
FIRST POTATOES
Bring from SIS to $3.50 a Bar
rel in Northern Markets.

The first shipments of the new potato
crop have been made from Federal
Point in this county, and according to
report were of excellent quality and
were carefully graded and packed. They
must have been good, for they brought
from S. to $3.50 per barrel.
The estimated yield in the Federal
Point section is about so barrels per acre,
and this week shipments are being made
almost daily. By next week the ship
mentS will be on in earnest, and the
steamer Crescent will make daily trips
from Palatka in order to accommodate
the potato growers.
The Putnam county potatoes are lit
lie in advance of those at Hastings,
where the frost of three weeks ago did
more damage, and from Federal Point
on the river back TO the county line,
Orange Mills and East Palatka the
crop is now practically ready for the
harvest.
Barrel factories are running night and
day TO accommodate growers, and the
commission men and buyers are begin
ming TO swarm the entire section from
Palatka TO Elkton.
Thus far the promise is for good
market for well graded and we'll packed
potatoes and the farmer is about to re-
ceive the reward for his industry.
A western man who went through the
Putnam county potato section last week
in commenting on his observations TO
the News said: at is the greatest, the

Death of Bethel's Pastor.

Rev. Z. f. Williams, pastor of the
Bethel A. M. E. church in this city and
one of the most eloquent and efficient
pastors of that denomination in the state,
died at his home in this city at an early
hour Wednesday morning.
Some time last summer Pastor Will
liams suffered slight stroke of paraly.
sis, which only affected the muscles on
one side of his face slightly and which
incapacitated him from his duties but a
week or two. He had, however, TO
carry traces of the affliction, and week
or two ago was persuaded 10 go 10 Jack
sonville TO take an electrical treatment
and submit to a slight operation. He
returned last week and on Friday made
days visit TO ST. Augustine. He did
not recover from the shock of his treat
ment and took to his bed only day or
two before his death.
Rev. E. F. Williams was born in this
county in 1869 and has been in the minis
try of the A. M. f. church IA years.
He was known as a builder of churches,
and on nearly all the charges he has
served a good church now stands as a
monument TO his zeal and efficiency in
the work of the paStorate. The fine
brick edifice of his denomination at St.
Augustine is an example of his devotion
to the work.
Rev. Z. F. Williams was appointed to
the pastorate of Bethel church in Febru-
ary of last year, and reappointed for his
second year at the conference last
month. He was hard at the work of
completing the beautiful new concrete
Bethel church on the corner of Reid
and Eighth streets The beautiful pan
elled ceiling of this'church was his own
handiwork, as we'll as other parts OF the
interior cabinet work. He was in the
prime of a life of great usefulness and
inspiration TO his race and church and
his death is greatly deplored lie leaves
wife and two children.
The funeral will be at the Bethel
church at O'Clock this afternoon, and
the intermcnt will take place at ST. Au,
gustiue on Sunday. Prominent pastors
of the denomination will officiate.

TRIFLED with
WIDOWS HEART
Prominent Man Balks at Mar
riage and Widow Demands
Justice.
Breach of Promise Suit to be Tried Soon.

bfeacn OF FrOnllse QUIT 10 DC rleu Ooon'
For some time, il is alleged, one of
our prominent citizens has paid more or
less attention to young and beautiful
widow of this city, forgetting, or at least
not needing the advice of the immortal
Mr.. Weller to his son, Samuel, 10 "be-
ware of vidders."
He now claims that he was not Seri-
Gus in his attentions and that he was not
attached TO her, but however that may
have been, the widow became attached
TO him, and as he seems TO have lost in
terest in the mater she has attached his
property, which is form of attachment
he does not enjoy.
The result is, that he finds himself
the defendant in firSt-class breach of
promise case and his questionable atti-
tude towards the widow will be given
an airing in the near future.
The parties in the case are so promi-
nent that it is feared no court room will
hold the vast crowd deSirous of attend
ing the trial, so il will be held in the
Orpheum Theater, on Monday evening,
April 18th, under the auspices OF the
Pythian Sisters, for the benefit of the
Public Library.
In other words, it will be a Mock
Trial, and it promises to be one of the
most enjoyable affairs of many years, as
a large number of our leading people
will participate in the proceedings.
The committee having the trial in
charge has engaged Col. A. V. Newton
of Worcester, Mass, 10 attend TO the de-
tails and personally conduct the enter
tainment. Fuller details will be given
later.

UNCLE sam WILL
OBSERVE SUNDAY
In Postoffice Department as
Much as Possible.
Changes in Sunday Mail Service at
Palatka Postoffice.


The Postoffice Department has issued
a new order which will be hailed with
Joy by the postolfice clerks and carriers
throughout the nation, as its observance
will give them little time for rest and
recreation on SundayS-something they
have been getting but little of under the
present system.
The order affects all the larger cities
of the country as il does cities the size OF
Palatka.
When seen regarding the new order
of the Department, Postmaster Kirby of
this city said:
eyes, the new rule will be observed
in Palatka beginning with next Sunday.
OF course all mails will be dispatched as
usual, and all mails will be distributed
in boxes, though not as quickly as here
tofore owing 10 the fact that less clerks
will be on hand TO do the work. These
clerks will take turns in having their
Sundays to themselves.
"The carrier windows will not be
opened on Sundays and there will be
but one collection by carrier and that in
time for the afternoon mails north.
Carriers will alternate in this Sunday
work.
"The money order, register and stamp
windows will remain closed. The gen
eral delivery will be open for one-half
hour only after the noon mail is dis
tributed, principally TO accommodate
tranSients or patrons who expect impor-
tant mail Parties expecting important
mail on Sunday may deposit 10 cents for
special delivery, and such mail will be
delivered by messenger.
"PatronS may also, by securing boxes,
have their mail placed therein on Sun
days, and on week days distributed by
carrier as now.
Regular special delivery letters will
be delivered by messenger as usual.
The new plan will not work hard
ship on any business man in this city,
but it will be blessing in that clerks
and carriers will be permitted more time
TO themselves on Sunday.
The PoStoffice Department is not get
ting any more religious than ii has been,
but ii is certainly, by the new order,
showing more consideration for the
men who handle the mails.
And the order will be generally ap-
proved by the patrons of the Palatka
poStoffice and-the clerks and carriers.

POMONA LETTER.

Mr.. and Mrs. c. H. Worcester have
for their guests Mr. and Mrs Fred Wor-

A number of our people attended the
funeral at Lake Como last week of Mrs.

known here by the older residents, hav-
ing lived here several years ago.
The last meeting of the Information
Club was held at the parsonage, and was
in the form of social. About is mem
bers were present and the evening was
delightfully."- spent with discussion of
current events, games, music and re-
freShmentS. Many thanks are due to
Rev. w. H. Woodwcll for his interest
in this club during the winter, and all
hope that the Information society will
continue its meetings another season.
School closes this week and our teach
ers, Misses Ward and Baker, will soon
be leaving, much to the regret of the
young people especially. School seems
10 be closing earlier than usual this year,
but that is accounted for by its begin
ming the first week of September last
fall.

to Jacksonville early in the week.
Walton Tucker arrived Sunday from
Jacksonville for visit at home.
Despite the inclement weather of last
Thursday afternoon, goodly number
