The regular semi-monthly meeting
If the Board of Trade will be held
leNt Monday evening. As the new
Secretary says, in repeating the re
mark of Cecil Rhodes, the noted South

in," it is hoped there will be a full
attendance, so that matters of inter
est may be considered and some con.
clusions reached in something.
A city can be cleaned up and kept
clean whenever the local authorities
make up their minds to do it. That
IS all there is to it. Whenever there
is common spirit Of civic pride, how
ever, there is no need of enforcing
law on the subject. A little personal
effort on the part Of every citizen car
make city one Of beauty. There
are several very pretty cities and
towns in Florida. Is Palatka one of
them? If not, why not?
