PALATKA'S CENSUS
made OFFICIAL
Gives the City a Population of
5,677--Some Dissatisfaction.

AT meeting of the Palatka city coun-
Gil on Tuesday night, the aldermen
adopted as the official population of the
city the enumeration of Mr.. Walter Nc
Nally and which gives TO the city popu-
lation of 5,677.
That there is some dissatisfaction is
already apparent. The News has seen
at least two citizens who declare point
edly that the enumerator did not call on
them. Such would be the case no mat
ter who took up the work. Even gov
ernment enumeraterS are sometimes
criticised. But Mr.. McNally is an intel
ligcnt gentleman, we'll acquainted with
the city and its needs. His work has
undoubtedly been as thorough as could
be made within the short time allowed
for the enumeration.
II has been impossible, up 10 the pres.
ent, to get the U. S. census figures for
Palatka. That has been the case with
all cities of its class. These may, when
received, show Mr.. McNally'S deficen-
cieS, if he has 'em.
But for the present, at least, the Nc.
Nally census is the official census OF
Palatka.
Remember the figureS-5,677.

A gentleman was engaging a general
man and telling him what he wanted
him to do. You will have to clean
the windows and the boots and the
knives and go messages, chop wood,
cut short grass, mind the horse and
pony, look after the garden and keep
the house supplied with vegetables and
do any old job that is required. and
If suitable you will get 10 shillings a
week"
as there any clay in the gardenT'
asked the man.
"What makes you ask that?" asked
the gentleman.
81 was thinking could make bricks
in my spare time" said the man.

The Krause Greater Shows.

This really excellent carnival has
been unfortunate in Palatka. 1t was un-
fortunate in being here at the same time
as the Johnny ]. Jones people. Palatka
isn't big enough for both at once. Had
they been a week apart both would
have had a good business. The prefer
ence seems to have been given to
Johnny.
But the Krause shows are great.
There isn't a Disappointing feature.
The shows, however, have only been
fairly we'll attended, and Mr.. Krause,
one of the best men in the business, has
lost money.
If he will bring his excellent carnival
and the Banda Roma to Palatka some
other time the people will show him
that they can and do appreciate good
thing.
But small city can have too much,
even of good things. 1t has this week.
The show will be here today and TO-
morrow. Patronage OF it will not dis
appOint

The BRYAN Meeting.

Capt. Montcalm Broward of Jackson
vile, brother of the late Gov. N. B.
Broward, was in Palatka "Wednesday
night TO address the people in the inter
ests of the candidacy of Hon. N. P.
Bryan for U S. Senator.
The meeting was held at the Howell
theater and the speaker was introduce
by Attorney ]. N. Blackwell. Twas a
very cold night and but few attended.
Those who did attend heard man
make an eloquent appeal for his friend.
Capt. Broward is a graceful, and at
times eloquent, speaker. He has some
of the stage mannerismS of the late ex,
Governor. The News regrets he could
not have had larger audience. Bu
candidates are not creating much enthu
thusiasm in Palatka this year.
Capt. Broward left for Crescent City
Thursday noon, at which place he was
billed TO speak last night.

AL LVERS OF SISCO
new CHAIRMAN
New Board of County Com
missioners Took Hold on
Wednesday.

The new board of Putnam count,
commissioners took up the work o
government Wednesday at II O'Clock.
The board organized by electin(
Commissioner w. c. Alvers of SiscC
chairman. 1t was simple. There wa'
no ballot Commissioner Perry made
the motion that he be elected by accla
nation, which was done.
Mr.. Alvers smiled. He acted like &
man who seemed pleased. Then he
said so. Placing his hand on his chest
and facing the members, he said:
Gentlemen, thank you for this
honor sand expression of your conf
dence. will try to do my duty faith
fully and well and deserve your con
tinued confidence"
Then the new board proceeded to
congratulate one another.
After taking dinner the board spen
the afternoon discussing routine work
and getting acquainted with the duties oi
their office. This the new chairman
and the clerk helped them do.
The board as now constituted consists
of the following members:
First district-W. c. Alvers, chairman
Third district A. C. Turner.
Fourth districts. Z. Timmons.
Fifth district-E. B. Perry.
Mr.. TimmonS is the Oldest man oi
the bunch and one of the best knowr
men in the county. He landed in Pa
latka in December, 1856, and has resided
in the county continuously since. He
knows the county.
Mr.. Perry is physically the bigges
man on the board and it is a toss up al
TO who is the smallest, Alvers or Tur
ner. The chances favor the frs
named. He weighs about 10 pounds
when he is fat, but he hasn't been ir
condition for some time Down in the
home district he is sometimes referred
10 as the "old mule"-probably because
of his kicking propensities. He die
some effective kicking on the outgoing
board and that is possibly the reason
why he was reelected by the largeS
majority given a county commissioner
in the late election.
MIR. Perry is one of the best men in
the county. He is farmer and lives
in the Melrose section. The people
are looking TO him hopefully as the
making OF high-grade commissioner
ship timber.
Mr.. Turner of San Mateo is another
good man from whom much is expected
He is a man of sound common sense
and knows the needs of the office.
Mr.. Moody is too well known in Pa
latka to need an introduction. He lives
at Peniel and was elected as an lnde
pendent over the regular democratic
nominee-pretty good evidence that he
is popular and that much is expected o.
HMM the way, as Mr. Dooley once
said, of "retrinchment and reforum."
The new board shows decided incli
nation to feel its way, and that ii viii
be conservative is apparent.
The business of the present meeting
was only routine. The board, how
ever, made selection of the 300 names
from which the jury lists of the yea
will be made up.
