STATE COLLEGE
FOR WOMEN.
A Palatka Student in the Col
lege tells of its Excellence.


EDITOR of PALATKA NEWS:
AS we feel that the state college is an
institution which merits much attention
and that its great facilities for learning
are not duly appreciated, we wish TO tell
you of some of its advantages.
1t is located in one of the healthiesi
parts of the state and has an ideal eli.
mate. There are several very fine
buildings which are each equipped with
modern conveniences.
The college has an efficient corps oi
teachers and the work of the new sem.
ester, which began February 1st, has
been resumed with great interest A
number of new students have already
enrolled for this second semester and
we expect more.
On February 21st the Spring Review
term began. 1t offers great opportuni
ties for those desiring teachers certifi
Gates. During the three months there
is a complete review of everything
which comes in the course for a first
grade certificate and there is an oppor
tunily for taking the examinations in
Tallahassee after the term is ended
There is also a chance 10 take up any
special work in drawing, cooking, sew
ing, music, or any academic study.
There is great advantage 10 be
gained from such course not only il
the studies themselves but by the aSSo
citation of students and by direct contaC
with so many and such various diSposi
tions of girls. Another advantage is the
coming in contact with the different de
partmentS.
There are several organizations among
the students which bring them into
closer touch. Among these are two
literary societies which have gained
the interest of all the students and are
of great value in developing freedom ol
speech among the students. The Y. w.
G. A. does good work also and interest
once reused in that is never lost. Ath.
letics help TO strengthen the college
spirit and there is much enthusiasm over
basketball and tennis.
Occasionally in the busy school life,
time is found for a reception, school
play, Or some social gathering which
adds TO the home atmosphere and
drives dull care away" A recital was
given by Miss Harrington on February
18Th. Another will be given by Miss
Cline March 9th. We are very fortu-
nate in securing the Coburn players for
one night in April, and this is an unusual
opportunity for seeing one of Shakes
pere'S plays.
We are all anxious to see our College
grow into one of the largest in the
country, and already there are many
states represented. There is cordial
welcome awaiting others.

TREASURY DEPARTMENT
Washington, Feb oath, 1911.
Mr.. z. T. Lancaster,
Palatka, Fla.
Sir:-ln response TO your communica-
ton OF the 18th instant you are informed
that the Department has selected prop.
erty bounded by Williams, Reid, and
Front streets for a Federal building site
at Palatka, Florida, and the matter may
therefore be considered as definitely
closed. Respectfully,
c. D. HILLES,
Assistant Secretary.
The site is the one known as the
Thomas property, directly opposite the
city hall park on Front street, and is one
of the most suitable sites for the purpose
that could have been selected. There
is adequate room on the grounds for fu-
ture enlargement of the building and
for space for ornamentation.
No doubt some of the owners of other
proposed sites will be disappointed in
the selection, but the disintereSted peo-
pie OF Palatka will be generally pleased
with the location.

Two Men That Knew.

In an article on Thomas B. Reed In
the Century Henry Cabot Lodge re-
calls an anecdote which Reed used to
tell with glee. 1t was about his exam
ination for admission to the bar OF
California. A young southerner came
before the Judge for examination at
the same time. The judge asked the
southerner if the legal tender acts
were constitutional, and the young
man answered without moments
hesitation, NO" Then the Judge turn
ed to Reed and asked him the same
question. Mr.. Reed with equal prompt
ness answered Yes"
"very WELL" said the judge, ''you are
both admitted. Two men who can
answer that question without hesita-
ton ought to be admitted to any bar"

no doubt as to the future success of
the company, with which he has now
become financially connected. He
has been in the employ of the com

business he will enter, though he as
sures us that he will remain in Ocala.

Mr.. Lon K. Edwards, manager in
charge of the Irvine Crate and Bias
net Company's mills at Irvine, was in
Ocala Monday. He says that the
business of his mill has been larger
this season than ever before in the
eight years of it's existence. Besides
using the products of their own mill
they have had to buy great quantities
of material from other concerns over
the state in order to supply the big
demand for vegetable crates for NOV
ing the crops of this part of the state.
Mr.. Edwards says that the rains the
latter part of last week were worth
many thousands of dollars to the
farmers and truck growers of his Sec
ton. He says that oats especially
had suffered considerably from the
several months dry weather.

This paper learns with great deal
of regret of the death of DR.. Henry
G. Spooner, who died few days ago
in the city of Boston, his old home,
where he had gone to spend the sum-
mer.
Since the death of his father, DR..
Spooner has been living at Stanton,
on Lake Weir, where he owns a very
beautiful home and one of the pretti-
est orange groves in this county.
Before coming to Florida the doc
tor was a practicing physician, had
read a great deal and devoted consid-
cradle time to travel, and was an in
teresting conversationalist. He leaves
a wife and daughter and a host of
friends both here and in Boston to
mourn his death. He was a member
of the Ocala lodge of Elks, and in
this way and in other ways was in
cooperating himself into the lives of
our people. Companionable and agree
able. he will be missed from the
meetings of this order, as he will be
by his neighbors and friends at the
lake.

MISS ESTHER WEATHERS EN-
TERTAINS THE CARD CLUB

Thursday afternoon Miss Esther
Weathers entertained the members
of the Young Ladies' Card Club and
half dozen other friends in the
same delightful manner that has won
for her the reputation of being one
of the most charming of the younger
hostesses in the city. Her parties are
always lovely ones, and her guests
never fail to enjoy an afternoon with
her in her beautiful home.
There were five tables of players,

Miss Annie Davis and Miss Emily
Stotesbury.
Miss Margaret Taylor and Mrs.
Gamsby won the prizes. The former

and the latter handsome embroider-
ed collar bag. The scores were kept
on very pretty cards decorated with
very pretty heads peeping out from
various lovely flowers.
After the games Miss Weathers
served very dainty refreshments, con-
sisting of angel marshmallow a la
mode and hot chocolate, which was
greatly enjoyed by the guests. There
will be no meeting of the card club

MEETING OF THE U. D. C. AT
MADISON

The sixteenth annual convention,
Florida Division, U. d. c., held the
opening exercises on Tuesday even
ing at $3.50 o'clock in the court room
of the Madison court house.
The room was converted into the
most appropriately charming of con-
vention halls, with decorations of red
and white, backgrounded with hand
some potted palms and graceful ferns,
the whole forming a tout-ensemble
artistically pleasing indeed.
Upon a raised dias in the center of
the rostrum erected for the presiding
officer and her executive staff, sat
Mrs. w. L. Parramore, the president
of the hostess chapter, and Sister Es-
Their Carlotta, the division presiding
officer.
An exceedingly we'll timed and ably
delivered address of welcome from
that city by the brilliant young mayor
Mr.. r. H. Rowe, was the next number.
The laughter and interest aroused by
this effort keyed the convention to
most harmonious pitch for the even
ing success, and prepared crowd of
we'll equipped listeners for the sue
ceeding address of welcome, given in
behalf of the Madison board of trade
by the Hon. J. H. Withheld.
The always attractive and yet pa
thetic address of welcome from Camp
Colquitt Veterans, was delivered with
much feeling by the commander, the
Hon. Theodore Randall, and received
with the usual almost fearful appre-
citation that the bare word, Confeder-
ate veteran, ELECTS from any southern
gathering.
The address of welcome from the
hostess, the Elizabeth Harris chap
ter, was here read by Mrs. L. A. Fra
leigh in behalf of her mother, Mrs.
w. L. Parramore, the chapter presi-
dent.

home in Florida, and we trust that
he may decide to cast his lot in Ma
rion county. He is largely interested
in timber and coal lands in east Ten

rim were glad to meet him on our
streets Friday. He is representing
the ignition department of the Split
dorf On. W Laboratory, which has
something to do with automobiles,
and Mr. Perrin is making an extern
sive tour of the country. Thirty-one
years ago Mr. Perrin came to this
county and settled at Stanton which
was named for him. He was then
representing the Rapollo interests,
which were quite extensive, embrac-
ing steamboats,, sawmills, orange
groves, etc. Affable, pleasant and
companionable, Mr.. Perrin made
many friends, took quite a lively in
terest in public affairs, was elected a
member of the board of county COM
missioners, and was sent on many &C.
casions to the county and state DEM
ocratic conventions. He is holding
his own we'll and time is dealing with
him most gently. He was kept busy
as soon as he got off the train shaking
hands with his old friends. He will
remain with us until tomorrow.

to find twenty acres of bearing peach
es at the Marion Farms, when it was
under the impression that all this
fruit had been killed, but it seems
that other places are turning up with
this delicious fruit. Mr. C. E. Conner
of Lake Weir presented us with a
basket of beauties yesterday. The
coloring is such that no artist can ap-
proach and the flavor is exquisite.

MR.. MARCUS FRANK BUYS REAL
ESTATE

1t is a good sign when real estate
begins to loom into prominence, and
is bought up by those who have been
successful in business and have a rep
utation at least for having a prophetic
eye.
The latest gentleman to enter the
real estate field is Mr.. Marcus Frank,
Ocala's successful young merchant.
Until now he has stuck closely and
industriously to mercantile pursuits
but Ocala's real estate is beginning
to look so attractive that he could
not resist the temptation to cast an
anchor to windward, so he has got
ten in on the ground floor, so to speak,
in real estate transaction.
Mr.. Frank. closed a deal yesterday
with Mr. Charley Thomas for seven
acres of unimproved property on
Fort King avenue, on beyond the Cliff
ford Anderson place.
Mr.. Frank expects to have the sew
en- acres divided into lots, will place
them on the market and auction them
off in the same way that the Magnolia
lots were sold, and he expects to reap
as rich a reward.
This paper hopes this his expecta-
tons will be fully realized.
The lots are very attractive, and
lie in the direction in which the city
is building.
