CITY COUNCIL
GRANTS FRANCHISE
To Southern Bell Telephone
& Telegraph Co.

The important question of granting q
franchise TO the Southern Bell Tele.
phone & Telegraph Co. came up fol
linal action at the meeting of the city
council last Tuesday night. Three
members OF the council were absent
MeSSrS. FearnSide, Howell and Wilson.
The ordinance passed its second read
ing at former meeting. On its final
passage Tuesday night the vote stood:
For the ordinace-NIesSrS. Hicks, Min.
ion, Buddington, Cannon. Smith,
Browning, and Robinson. Against,
Messrs. Usina, Haughton, Merriam and
Yelverton.
The council also passed an ordinance
creating the office of city physician and
defining his duties. This ordinance is
something in the nature of health or.
dinance in that it provides for some
course of action in the event of vis.
tation OF contagious or other dangerous
disease. II requires all physicians who
may have knowledge of yellow fever,
small pox, scarlet fever, dptheria or
other dangerous or contagious disease to
report the same to the city physician
within y hours, and who, when so re-
ported, shall Immediately pacard the
home and take steps 10 prevent mem
berS OF the family or household from
leaving came and miMng with the peo-
pie about town. The ordinance also
gives the city physician charge and sup
erviSion OF the sanitary condition of the
city. The ordinance is a most sensible
one and will meet the undoubted ap-
proval of the people,
This ordinance as originally drafted
placed the power OF appointment OF Ithc
city physician in the hands OF the May
or, but the council decided that ii should
make the appointment. This ii did,
and the City Health Officer of Palatka
is DR.. J. G. Chandler, and he is mighty
good man for the place. His salary was
fixed AT $500 per year.
The council also passed 4 resolution
requesting the Public Library to vacale
the room on the ground floor of the
City Hall and offering TO give the library
instead the room now occupied as Coun-
Gil chamber. The City Clerk and the
council will take the downstairs room.
The city engineer was requested 10
furnish estimates of the cost OF carving
city water in pipe TO the new cemetery.
II this does not cost too much ii is likely
the council will order ii at some early
meeting.

WOMAN'S CLUB HAS
AGAIN MADE GOOD
By Agreeing to Beautify and
Care for Court House
Grounds.
County Commissioners Have Author
lied Financial Aid.

The Palatka Woman's Club has made
another proffcr of aid in the interests OF
a greater and more beautiful city. The
club has asked and has obtained the
privilege of beautfying and caring for
the Court House grounds.
On Tuesday afternoon Mrs. Geo. E.
Gay, president OF the club, and Mrs
Peter Gardner, accompanied by MesSrS.
]. II. Haughton, A. Usina, Howell A..
Davis and l.. c. Canova went before
the meeting of the County Commission
ers and TO whom Mrs. Gay made the
proposition that the board turn over the
care of the grounds to the Woman S
Club, the club agreeing TO place a land
scapc gardner on the grounds and as
rapidly as possible make them into a
park. Mrs Gay showed great familiarity
with the subject and as she has to her
credit living example of park making
handiwork in the City Hall grounds, it
did not take the board many minutes TO
become enthuSed with her plans.
As result of her talk the board
passed resolution which places the
Court House grounds in the care of the
women and guarantees them SIS per
month for the next three months to
spend on the work.
This action simply means that there

The farmer was once caricatur-
ed as the embodiment of ignor-
ance and credulity. He was pic
tured as the prey of gold brick
endors. He was thought to be
totally without savior faire in
personal conduct and far behind
in a breast-of- the times informa-
ton.
But the day when such an idea
of the former had such applica-
ton has gone and evidences that
it is gone are to be found every
where.
Here is a very recent one:
Questions asked the prospec-
tive jurors thus far have disclos-
ed the fact" says a newspaper
dispatch of the trial of the pack
ers of Chicago, that farmers
are closer readers of the news
papers, than are persons who
live in the city. AS result the
lawyers have found that men
from the rural districts as rule
have divided opinions on govern
ment regulation of business and
in many cases are better versed
in the intent and meaning of the
Sherman act than many of their
city neighbors."
The old notion of a farmer was
always a gross eXaggeration.
Now it is too far away from the
truth to arouse even a smile.
The farmer knows fewer
things than does the city man,
but what he knows he knows
thoroughly and not specifically.
Superficial knowledge is charac-
teristic Of jewellers of the city,
particularly of the large cities.
The newspaper is the one best
means of conveying information,
not only of current events but
of the course of developments
whether the developments be
commercial, civic or political.
The farmer, cut off from the
many distractions of city life. not
only reads his newspapers, but
he studies it. He thinks on his
own account.
And thus his grasp of public
questions equals where it does
not exceed that of the average
city man.

Advertising "0ur Town.

Do you take pride in your town!
In speaking of it and working
for it, do you say ''our town.
When you say "our town." the
expression has a different mean
ing from what it does when you
say "the town" this town" or
"your town."
Practice saying "our town, un-
til you can give it a musical and
attractive sound that is conf
dence inspiring and means the
true loyalty of a citizen.
There is a big difference plac-
ed on the meanings Of words by
the tone in which they are ex-
pressed. Some people can say
"come in" in a tone that means
stay out more than it does come
in.
In speaking of your town,

that exhibits all these. The Re-
