Women Officiate at Weddings.

A Pensacola paper tells of the ar
rival of gentleman and lady at the
San Carlos hotel in that city last
week, and who made request that the
clerk send out for clergyman to
unite them in marriage. The clerk,
so the item runs, called up several OF
the city clergy but none were at home.
He was about to give up when he no
tlced the young lady stenographer OF
the hotel at work over in a corner OF
the lobby and remembered that she as
a notary public was empowered to
perform the ceremony. He mention
ed the fact to the prospective bride
and groom and they asked him to
call the young lady. When the mat
ter was presented to the young lady
she is reported as saying: 81 never
have performed the ceremony, but III
try"
The Young lady performed the Ger,
emony, and the newly welded pan
were happy.
The Pensacola paper speaks of the
affair as the setting OF precedent
Not quite. Here in Palatka young
women notaries have been performing
The marriage ceremony for some time
Mrs. Fred Priest, as clerk in th'
County Judges office, performed sew
eral of them in her time. Her sue
cessor, Miss Mabry, also has otficiatet
at several such ceremonies.
No one has followed up the work o
their hands, but there seems to be NJ
reason why the marriages performe
by these ladies should not turn ou
as happy as any.

THOUSAND
DOLLARS AVAILABLE
For Palatka's New Postoffice
Building.

The sundry civil bill now before
congress, provides among other things
I$15, 900 for the beginning of work on
the new government building In Pa
latka.
But there is still hitch.
The work will not begin until the
style of building has been agreed on;
until plans and specification have
been made and accepted, and contracts
advertised and awarded.
The department has work way ahead
of it. Other cities throughout the
country are crying for the beginning
of work on buildings already agreed
upon. The government architects are
being driven as rapidly as it is posi-
BILE to drive government officials: Ia,
latka is so far behind on the list OF
cities awaiting plans for government
buildings that it is thought it Will
be more than a year before the archl-
tects can get to us.
1t is Just possible, though not prob
able, that some plan OF building al
ready up in another city may DC
used for the Palatka building. A try
will he made in this direction. II this
can be arranged it will expedite mat
ters some. w.
But we are thankful to our Con
pressmen for the above named appro
priation as a starter. -.
