PALATKA'S COMING
FOURTH OF JULY
Celebration will be Crowded
with Events to Entertain
Great Crowds.

The coming two-day celebration Of
the FoESth of July, which is in the
hands of special committees of the
Board of Trade, promises to be all
that the most enthusiastic could hope.
From the half-page advertisement
in his paper something of the spiri;
OF the proposed celebration can be
gained. The city is to be opened
wide and fun and frolic is to be Civ
en- free hand.
Palatka wants the people of the
county to come and join with us in
these events, and to this end has Sc
cured special rates on all railroads
leading to the city.
The celebration will begin on the
morning of Friday, the 3rd, and will
continue through that day and the
Fourth. There will be horse races,
mule races, boat races, automobile
races, motorcycle races, and base
ball games such as are seldom seen
in this neck of the woods. Real ma
ior league players will take pa"5 in
the games. -.
Next week the committees will
have their reports all in and IL will
be possible for the News to give out
a program. For the present it is
sufficient to say that the committees
report things coming their way and
that there is no doubt of the full sue
cess of the celebration.

who some months ago ran a pressing
club on central Lemon street, has
been sentenced to death by hanging in

sentence passed upon him by the cir

killed her he also shot his wife and
sister-in-law, but the latter two re-
covered from their wounds.
While here Cribbs worked for Mr..
Merwin at his concrete works for sew
eral months and then engaged in the
pressing club business. His wife was
with him for a time, but left him and
went to her people in Georgia. Cribs
then closed out his business here and
followed her. Mr.. Merwin had a let
ter from Cribbs last week.

these cases was purely those of an at
t0rney and with which the company
could have no legitimate objection
As attorney he had been employed to
represent certain purchasers of COM
pany lands which had been found
through errors in the abstracts, err
rors which the company was seeking
to correct in order to perfect the IT,
tie. For instance, there was about
100 acres on which the company
learned that the title secured by the
company through purchase from Ar
derson & Rentz, and by them from
the Rodman Lumber Co. by warranty
deed, showed record title to be with
the A. c. L. R'y Co. To correct this
title an appraiser was called on to
value the railroads equity, if any, and
for which the company was prepared
to pay cash and thereby secure what
it had agreed to give its customers,
an absolutely perfect title. Mr. Wal
ton was simply the attorney Of pur-
chasers of these lands in which 2n
imperfect title was discovered and eff
fort made by the company to correct
There is no feeling on the part of the
company that Mr. Walton has acted
other than in his legitimate capacity
as attorney for men who felt that
they had grievance.
