PARSNIPs IN COLD WEATHER.

Winter and Freeze.
Parsnips require no attention what
ever during the winter. In fact, best
results are obtained by leaving them
in the bed during the winter and allow
ing them to freeze. The ground should
be cleared Of weeds In the fall.
After the last hard freeze throw a
few forkfuls Of straw over the tops
and leave till the ground thaws out In
the spring. The mulch prevents freez-
ing and thawing If the winter is an
open one. Where the roots are desired
during the winter they should be dug
or pulled and stored in the vegetable
cellar.

Wilson Mill Starts Again.

The great new mill of the Wilson Cy.
press Co. in this city will more than
likely begin running on regular Sched-
ule next Monday. Some two weeks ago
the new machinery was turned over for
the first time and as is usual in the op.
Grafton of such a gigantic and compli
Gated mechanism there were some mis-
takes that had to be remedicd. Last
Monday the mills worked through the

OF December 4th last, entaiing loss OF

press Co. being the greatest employer OF
labor in Palatka, the loss OF its monthly
wage in the business of the place has
been felt, not only by the men thus
thrown out of work, but by the business

Fire at Crescent City.

Fire at six o'clock on Tuesday morn
ing destroyed the building on South
Summit street, Crescent City, belonging
TO James Padgett Jr., and which in re.
cent years has been used as a tenement.
The building was erected about 1894 by
an eccentric genius named MurchiSon,
who used it as a combination home and
printing office for the publication of the
old Florida Philosopher, and which
when occupied by him was painted in
alternate stripes of red, white and blue.
After MurchiSonS departure the building
was for more than two years the home
of the Crescent City News, edited by
w. A. Russell up TO the time that pa.
per was merged into The Palalka News,
January I'd, 1902.
The fire completely destroyed the
building, but as there was no wind there
was never any very serious danger 10

unoccupied save for store room pur-
poses by Mr.. Padgett, and the origin OF
the blaze is not known.

Child Dies of Snake Bite.

One OF the saddest cases to which the
attention of the News has been called
recently was the death of the little 3 IL
year old daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. For,
rest Gilliland of Mannville, and which
occurred at the Arlington Hotel in this
city al late hour Monday night, from
the effects of snake bite.
Late in the afternoon the little girl, as
was her custom had gone 10 a hens
nest in an adjoining field 10 gather
eggs. The mother lifted the little one
over the fence and stood by while the
child ran down to the nest. The child
shouted TO the mother that there were
eggs and stopped down TO get them.
Immediately there was cry of mingled
fear and pain from the little one and
the mother rushed TO see what was the
matter. 1t was seen that moccaSin
was under the nest, and the snake had
bitten the child twice on her ankle.
Gathering the ellitlle one in her arms
the mother rushed 10 the house; the
father was summoned and he tried first
10 suck the poison out. A physician
was summoned and after time, as the
swelling continued TO increase, the dis
tracted parents decided TO bring the
child to Palatka. On arrival here about
nine O'Clock they secured a room at the
Arlington Hotel and sent for DR..
Chandler, who worked over the little
one for nearly three hours, but all TO no
avail. The little one died about mid,
night. When the child arrived here the
leg was swollen to the hip, and she was
very sick.
The grief of the parents was heart
breaking and all efforts TO comfort them
were unavailng. The father took the
corpse of the little child in his arms,
and with the stricken mother carrying
the younger child, they left for home in
| Mr.. Kells automobile, after arranging
with Undertaken Mooney TO forward a

The crowds came to Palatka yester-

that score.
But il rained and The rain came in tor

and that was the reason the races had 10
be postponed till today.
But the Ocala band was here and it
played some awfully sweet and inspiring
music, and-the Methodist ladies sold
lunches and Louis Smith and Jimmie
Ray and John Malem sold soft drinks
and da peanutta, and the streets were
filled with pretty girls, and the man who
didn't get his moneys worth would be
hard to satisfy.
The street decorations were beautiful
and alone were worth the price of ad-
mission.
And the automobile parade which
was postponed TO 5 p. m, was worth
waiting 10 all. II was beautiful. 1t was
done in the Palatka style. More than
dozen of the autos are entitled 10 big
complimentary notice.
The first prize went 10 the car Of
Pierce Uhe red car; the
second to the FearnSide car; and the
third prize to the H. A. Davis B. p. o.
E. car. The Judges were all out of
town gentlemen.
The afternoon ball game between
Ormond and Daytona teams called out a
big crowd. The game was good one.
Daytona was victor by score OF 10 D.
The streets were crowded late into
the night, and there were many private
displays of fireworks The only public
display was that of the Elks in front of
heir club. This was giant string of
crackers that was suspended in the mid
die of the street and sounded like the
roar OF infantry. 1t lasted for 80 min
lles and was the biggest thing ever seen
N Palalka in the firecracker line. The
piece was donated by Charley Doan,
he well-known Chinese laundryman on
second street. That cracker cost $500.
