A gentleman whose address is
Paris, France, writes in a plain Eng
fish hand to the Palatka board of
trade to the effect that "he intends
to visit Florida as soon as possible"
The request for information con-
tanned no contraband war news and
was passed by the censor without
being debated, and bears date of Nov.
18th. Another request written in
French, comes from Montreal, Can
ada. Both gentlemen have been sup
piled with printed matter, and detail
ed letters written to them. Letters
in all European languages, except
Russian, are given immediate atten-
ton by our board of trade, but the
Slavic and Serb tongues are not IA
miliar to Secretary Folsom, who on
ly thinks in those languages.

|CLOTH|ER BROWN
TO HAVE NEW STORE
Rogero Building to be Re-
modelled and Modernized.

The Rogero building now occupied
by M. S. Brown, the well-known cloth
| Ter and furnisher, will be torn down
and practically new and modern
building erected in its place. This
work is to begin by the 18th of the
coming month.
Mr.. Brown had been negotiating for
the corner store in the new Merryday
block, now in process of erection, but
being disappointed in this ambition,
he has decided that the old stand will
be the next best thing, provided it can
be made into a modern structure.
He has been doing business in this
one place for the twelve years that he
has been in Palatka, and the Brown
name and location are linked. Mr.
Brown has made fine reputation in
Palatka and his customers are numer-
GUS in all sections of the city and
county. They will therefore pay some
careful attention to what he says re-
garding his new place of business an6
the sacrifices he must make in order
to secure it.
In the first place he will be crowd
ed out of the store during the some
six weeks that will be required tt
make the alterations The present
finds him without place to go. II
: the meantime he hopes to find small
store sufficiently convenient to do fol
the time needed in construction.
: His stock of winter clothing, shoe!
and furnishings is immense and EN-
braces all that is newest.
This must be sacrificed. And in or
der to make quick transfer to the peo
pie he has decided to begin on Satur
day sale that will do the trick.
EVERYTHING in the store will b.
marked at actual cost and sold at cost
,, He hopes, by this sacrifice of all pro
fit to move his remaining goods to :
small store for temporary occupanc.

church members who had already
given splendidly for the Red Cross
work. In the afternoon, the motion

business men divided their profits
with the Belgian sufferers. Young
women in the costumes of various ma
