some one laughed. $50 why not at

Some one else was missing-the
bridegroom. At first there was only
restlessness on the part of those who
were waiting, then came whisperings
and surmises. After an hour a mes
senger was sent and reported that
Josef had not been at home for two
days.
Stephan arrived as they were trying
to calm the hysterical Rosa, desolate
in her wedding finery. 1t was an hour
and a half after the time set for the
wedding. For a moment Stephan
looked at the weeping girl and his
hands clinched. Then quietly he
walked to her side and. brushing the
others aside, bent over her.

of Josef! I'll have the papers to

A wonderful happiness was stealing
over her. Tim glad Josef is not

PALATKk Meets
SUBSTANTIAL LOSS
In Death Of Capt. W. M. Boyd
death Comes Sud-
denly.

The carly business man on the street
last Saturday morning received a shock
in the reported death at late hour in
the night of Capt William M. Boyd.
Few were aware that he was seriously
i'll. The news of his death caused uni
yersaI sorrow, for Capt. Boyd was man
who made only friends. -.
His death occurred at II o'clock Fri
day night and was directly due 10 fatty
degeneration of the heart. Capt. Boyd
some ten days before had returned from
a stay of some time up the river where
he was looking after timber interests in
the swamps; he was ill and his case was
diagnosed as malaria; later it developed
into typhoid fever. For some time
Capt. Boyd, who was heavy, Stockily
built man, had shown symptoms OF
heart trouble; this trouble was aggra.
vated by the typhoid and was the real
cause OF death.
Capt. Boyd was a lifetime resident OF
Palatka and il is no exaggeration TO say
that he was one of its best loved citizens;
his death therefore was the topic oil
general conversation and regret through,
out the city. He was most genial,
kindly neighbor, a kind, induigenl
father, an affectionate husband and a
loyal, dutiful son and brother
He is survived by wife, mother, two
sisters, son and little daughter, &c
whom the sympathy of the people has
gone in generous measure.
A short but impressive funeral service
was held at his late home on Sunday at
ternoon by Rev. DR.. w. M. Poage, anc

Marine WORK.

The Palatka Auto & Supply Co,
which has grown from small beginnings
in the past few years TO be one OF Pa
latka's leading industries and one of the
city'S heaviest employers of labor, has
been making arrangements for a still
greater increase in its business.
The company has leased for term OF
years the Elwood boat house and has
arranged for installing a giant power
boat lift, capable of lifting from the
water boats of heavy tonnage. All
kinds OF marine repairs will be under
taken, and it is likely the company will
also add boat building TO its scheme OF
growth:
Mr.. Chas. Priddy who has recently
acquired an interest in the company
will have charge OF the new department
while of course Mr. Benbow will be in
general charge. :,
The new enterprise will undoubtedly
prove an important factor in the buSi
ness growth of Palatka.

The death was reported on Tuesday
afternoon of Mrs. NJ. c. Baughman,
wife of the well-known timber man of
the Wilson Cypress Co. and long resi-
dent of this city. Mrs. Baughman was
taken ill several weeks ago and her case
got TO a point where she needed expert

that she was making steady improve
ment, and Mr.. Baughman who was with
her some time came home last week
feeling that her recovery was only
question of little time. On Tuesday
afternoon a telegram came announcing
her death. The body arrived in the
city last night and brief funeral
services were held at the home on
