PROCLAMATION
To the People of Palatka:

To the People of Palatka:
This city is soon to be the meeting
place of a great Convention, one of
Nationwide Importance, and with
delegates in attendance from all parts
of the Southland, and representing its
leading business and professional men,
This great gathering will place Pa
latka, at least for the time, promi-
nently on the map of our country
and as an advertisement for our city
can be made to yield a percentage of
profit running into the hundreds. This
profit is going to depend on the sort
of IMPRESSION OUR VISITORS
CARRY AWAY.
Let us then do our utmost to create
GOOD IMPRESSION for our Gem
City. The easiest way to secure this
good impression is to present bright
clean front. May l not urge every
citizen to not only see that his own
premises are clean, but that all will
help to spread the gospel of Clean
City among our people, and that you
will start NOW.
Yours for a Clean City-a Pros
porous City,
A. USINA, Mayor.

ORANGE SPRINGS
farmer MURDERED
Wife Charged with Crime is
Held in Ocala Jail.

Albert Wilson, a well-known far
mer at Orange Springs in Marion
county, was found dead in the public
highway last Monday morning. The
body was discovered in the road mid
way between Orange Springs and Eu-
reka. He had been shot.
The wife of the murdered man has
been arrested charged with the crime,
and after a preliminary hearing has
been held for trial in the circuit court.
She was remanded to the Ocala jail.
Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson spent Sunday
with the latter's parents, Mr.. and
Mrs. Perry Wells, near Eureka. Late
in the evening Mr.. and Mrs. Wilson
were supposed to have started for
thoir home near Orange Springs. A
short time later several shots were
heard and early Monday morning the
crime was discovered. Mrs. Wilson,
however, declares she had no inten-
ton of going home with her husband
and went only few steps and return
ed to her parents home to spend the
night. The shots wore heard by sew
eral persons in that neighborhood, but
no attention was paid to the occur
renee.
About six years ago Ed. Howard
former husband of Mrs. Wilson, was
shot down on the same road. Only
one arrest was ever made in connec-
ton with this crime, and this man
was exonerated by the coroner's jury
The case has attracted considerable
attention and the outcome of the
charges against Mrs. Wilson will be
awaited with much interest through
out Marion county. Mr.. Wilson was
well known planter and was vel
liked by everyone.
This is the first case on record ir
Marion county of white woman be-
ing tried for murder.

RURAL CREDITS TO
have A BOOST
At Farmers Convention in Pa
Iatka November 18th.

Senator Fletcher, F. ]. H. Won En-
gelken and, perhaps, Gov. Trammell
will address the Farmers Convention
to be held in this city one week from
tomorrow, Saturday, the 18th inst.
Senator Fletcher is the author of
Senate Bill No. 2909, which provides
for the establishment of Farm Mort
gage Banks in the United States. He
is president of the Southern CONNER
cial Congress, and was chairman of
the American Commission which
spent the past summer studying the
system of rural credits in Europe. He
is going to talk on a subject with
which he is perhaps more familiar
than any other man in this country
and of which he is the recognized au-
thority.
F. J. H. Won Engleken lives in East
Palatka, but for all that there are nc
flies on his intellect when it comes tC
discussing the question of rural cred.
its. He was the Florida representa-,
tive on the commission that Travelled
European countries for investigation
of tho subject, and his report on re
turning to this country was thought
Of such great value that the Senate
Of the United States had it spread
on the Senate Journal. 1t will pay
you to hear Won Engelken. Remem
Der that "a prophet is not without
honor save in his own country" vor
Engelken has bcan a world traveller
and an observer. He is digging OF
his Putnam county farm now, but al
the same he's not allowing his brain
coop to get rusty.
The farmers of Putnam shoul,
come to this meeting.

WAR VESSELS TO
VISIT PALATKA
November II and 18 on 0c-
casion of Great Water
WaVS Convention.

Secretary Folsom of the Palatka
board of trade received telegram on
Monday from Congressman Frank
Clark announcing that he had secured
an order from the Secretary Of the
Navy directing the Torpedo boats
Tingey and Thornton, and the Tor
pedo Boat Destroyer, Preston, TO an
,hor in the st. Johns river in front
of PaIatka on tho occasion Of the
Sixth Annual meeting of the Missis-
sippi to Atlantic Inland Waterways
Association, November 18th and 18th.
A letter from Senator Fletcher al
so confirms this order from the Navy
Department.
1t is calculated that this conven-
ton will be the greatest in point of
numbers ever held in Palatka. Dis
tinguished men from all parts of the
Southland will be here as delegates.
That the Federal government takes
an interest in the gathering is evil
denced by the unusual honor convey
ed in ordering these ships to be pres
ent.
War vessels are unusual in Palat-
ka waters, and citizens from all over
the county will make it point to be
here and see them. Not only will
they be here from this county, but
from all over the State.

GIRL GAMERS AND
BOY GARDENERS
of Putnam County to Have a
Government Expert lnstruC-
tor Next Year.

These so-called Boys Corn Clubs
and Girls Canning Clubs have attract
ed the attention of tho Agricultural
Department not only of the Federal
government, but of the State OF Florl-
da. By arrangement these depart
ments have a plan to encourage this
laudable ambition of our young peo-
pie in their schemes for an advance
tfom the positions now occupied by
their fathers and mothers.
For every dollar given by the State
in aid of these clubs, the Federal De
partment of Agriculture will give
four dollars. This money only to be
given in counties where the county
authorities are donating for the pro-
motion of local clubs.
Putnam county has these clubs, and
at the meeting of the county COM
missioners this week the board ap-
propriated SIS to the advancement of
the work of these young people. The
State will give $25 and the Federal
department will give 500. This
makes 5000 for Putnam county.
This money is to be used to pay
for a Government expert who will
visit Putnam county and stay with
us two and two-thirds months, giving
his time sololy to instructing the boys
in gardening and the girls in canning,
The full meaning of this appropria-
ton will be revealed to boys and girls
who visit Palatka at the contest
awards of the Corn Club next Tues
day, when Prof. j. J. Vernon of the
U. S. Bureau of Plant Industry, and
7. E. Waldrup, field agent of the
Southern Railway Farm Improvement
work will be present to stimulate in

BY the Governor-A Proclamation.
One of the most helpful and inspi-
ring customs handed down to us by
the Pilgrim Fathers is the annual
festival of Thanksgiving to Him who
rules over the dostines of nations for
the mercies of the closing year. This
custom is supported by tn eevidence
offered by history that free govern
ment and the general welfare has
never prospered except among peo-
pie where religion, conscience and
gratitude were constantly active
forces.
Therefore, in conformity with law
and time -honored custom, l, Park
Trammell, governor of the State of
Florida, do hereby proclaim
Thursday, November 9th, 1918,
as day of Thanksgiving and praise
throughout the State of Florida.
The year now drawing to a peace
full close has been one of unparalleled
prosperity for our people. Law and
order have prevailed. Providence
has smiled upon us with abundant
range and bountiful harvest and has
withheld pestilence and disaster. Let
US express fittingly our gratitude, not
forgetting the needy and afflicted,
whose cares may be lightened by gen
erous contributions commensurate
with our ability to relieve their bur-
den of poverty and need.
In Testimony Whereof, l have here
unto set my hand and caused the
great seal of the State of Florida to
be affixed at Tallahassee, the capital,
this the Goth day of October, A. D.,
1918.

The Palatka Development Company
is about completing its fourth pretty
bungalow within the month on the
lots owned by the company just west
of the A. C. l.. tracks. The company
bought nine blocks and has laid off
and hard surfaced the streets and
has cement sidewalks around and
through it's property. Going to be
an attractive part of Palatka, and no
mistake.
The bungalows are indeed cozy and
pretty, and arc well built, with all
modern conveniences. They have
five and six rooms. A man about tc
marry and settle down to the hum
drums of life couldn't find a bettel
place in which to carry his market
basket. And the section is well suit
ed to babies.
Go out and look at these improve
ments and see how Palatka is grow
ing. 1t is understood these bunga
lows will be sold on the easy pay
ment plan.
