Yes, some of the names of the
qualified voters, as they appear in the
list published on another page of this

wrong when the proof was read, but

registration books, and we have no
power to change the books. You
will note that the negroes have pref
ty generally qualified in this year OF
grace, 1914.
John Mallem has a poll parrot that
he is trying to teach to speak, as
John puts it, "ze United States" At
present the bird talks sort of mon
grel Jerusalem lingo that is a cross
between Ed. Gravener's muskrat
French and Nose Saucier's Ali-mud-
hasson. The parrot has very little
to say to the average Palatkan who
frequents Johns popular resort for
soft drinks and peanuts, but she got
an all round laugh at the expense
of Jack Finn last Wednesday even
ing. The bird has come to know Mr..
Finn, so as that gentleman walked
into Johns for his regular before
supper samples of peanuts the bird
called out: "Ah, good eve, Mistair
Films, how youse get on in re
Nights? Is you gotta Charlee Burt's
political hide in your basket since :?
He's sleek duk, Eat Charlee Burt
mans; member how he put John Wa
hoos to re front and gottee Pastor
Billiegoats and also Spencaire Mid
dletowns? Member how he also get
Jack Becks colleges; you need mon
carry zem nights nowadays" 1t
pleased Mr.. Finn and he sent across
the street for George Gay, but the
bird wouldn't repeat.
