VIII Retire From Business.

Ii ought not TO surprise the people of
this city and county, as we'll as the tray
cling public TO learn that Chas. Kupper-
busch, Palatka's famous, popular and
successful restaurateur has determined
to retire from business.
II there is man in this town who has
earned what he has in the sweat of his
brow il is this man KupperbuSch. His
success has been the talk of the state.
There is no restaurant outside OF Jack
sonville in the state of Florida that does
the volume of business. Mr. Kupper-
busch has long been known as one of
Palatka's ,wealthiest men, and yet in
spite of his wealth, he has worked and
is now working like a hired man.
He is simply tired out and wants few
days rest before he is called hence. For
this reason, and this only, he offers the
KupperbuSch restaurant and hotel for
sale or lease.
1.-THE man who buys or leases this
business will follow the Kupperbusch
plan of catering, he too can get rich.
But every man, woman and young
person in Palatka will hate to see hon
est Chas. Kupperbusch step down and
out.

You see, when one man says "Boo" to . goose, he means Why on earth don't you walk instead of waddle, you silly thing?" When another man says Roo" to that same goose, he means; If you don't get out of my garden I'll break yeW neck!" And when the third man says Boo" to the same goose, he means just Boo" and noth- ing more.
 So there you have it. When you hear a man say 'Boo" to any sort of goose you know what he says: But you don't know what he means. What makes it worse, he assumes that you do know exactly what he means. If that isn't a situation calculated to break up a neighborhood and disturb the comity of contiguous townships, then I don't know where you'll find one.

It takes all sorts to mako world. Some are short and some aren tall: some are sweet and some are sour some are cheery and some are gloomy some are greedy and some are gen. erous: some are optimists and some are pessimists. Some of us walk backward through life, steering a slow course by the landmarks left be- hind; others plunge forwards with their eyes on the future only, and ;i- able to be tripped often by the un- noticed entanglemcnts under their feet.
 But here we are, such as we are punched up into narrow little world and compelled to get along with the other chaps somehow.
 At the same time, those other chaps haze to get along with us.
