st. Marks Calls Rector.

The vestry of St. Marks Episcopal
church in this city sent a call on Mon
day to the Rev. John T. Lewis, for
the past five or six years rector of
Holy Trinity church, Monticello, Fla,
to become rector of st. Marks church.
Up to the present time no answer has
been received from the reverend gen
tleman, though the vestry has excel
lent reason for thinking that the call
will be accepted.
Rev. Mr.. Lewis has been strongly
endorsed by Archdeacon Wyllie of
Jacksonville, who knows the people Of
st. Marks and the needs of the church
perhaps better than any other man.
Members of Mr.. Lewis congregation
at Monticello also write in answer to
enquiries, recommending him very
highly.
This, Friday morning, word comes
to The News that Rev. Mr.. Lewis
has accepted the call, and will be here
on March 14th to take up the work Of
the church.

BROWNS TEMPORARY
QUARTERS OPENED
In the Kupperbusch Brown
Stone Building out
Lemon Street.

M. S. Brown has Just completed
the removal of his clothing, furnish
ing and shoe stock to the brown stone
building out Lemon street between
Seventh and Eighth streets.
The quarters are small-too small
to adequately show the stock to any
advantage But Mr.. Brown only ex-
poets to be in these quarters about
month, or during the completion of
the rebuilding of his old store.
Contractor Banks has already be-
gan work on the rebuilding of the old
store. The entire front is to come
out and modern front given the
place. The roof will also be made
new and when Mr.. Banks get through
with his job, you will not be able tc
recognize the old Rogero block. Il
will be one of the most modern Of
Palatka stores.
Mr.. Brown has bought all new mod
ern fixtures for the place, dist proof
and glass encased so as to be able tc
show his goods to the best advant
aye.
In the meantime, during the lou
weeks needed for rebuilding the ole
place Mr.. Brown wants his friends
to remember that he is still in bust
ness and that his great cost sale il
still going on. Until he gets settled
in his new store, every article o.
merchandise will be sold at actual cos
price.
Those who know Mr.. Brown know
that there is no deception about thi
sale-that it actually means the cos
mark has been placed on every arti
Gle and that it will be sold at tina
price. Men who are in need of any
thing in the wearing line-clothes
shirts, hats, shoes, neckwear, etc.
cannot afford to miss this chance
They can even afford to purchase il
advance of their needs.

Chinaman Dies Here Wednesday.

Young Wal Chu, brother of
Charley Doan the well-known laun-
dryman on Second street, died about
noon on Wednesday, of consumption,
He had been seriously ill for more
than a year, and for the past several
weeks confined to his bed
Young Wal Chu came to Palatka
some five years ago and up to a year
or more back was helping his broth
er in the work of the laundry. His
body was taken to New York yester-
day afternoon, where he will be given
a Masonic funeral and a burial in
accordance with Chinese custom. He
belonged to New York Masonic
lodge composed of Chinese.
Chas. Doan, proprietor of the laun-
dry, is stoical by nature, and yet when
called upon concerning the death of
his brother it was plain to see that
behind his apparent indifference
there was deep seated grief, and
once or twice did the tears fall from
his eyes, Palatkans have known
Charley Doan many years and have
learned to respect him as a good cit
izen and one who has worked his
way to the front by hard, incessant
toll; they will feel a sympathy for
him in this affliction which has come
upon him in a strange land, far from
his own people and where there are
few who can talk of the things of a
common interest in the "land of the
rising sun"

STATE WOULD PROFIT
BY A S|LO EXPERT
Says Prof. P. H Rolls, Head
of Agricultural Expert
ment Station.

Prof. P. H. Rolls, head of the agri-
cultural experiment station of the
University of Florida, was in Jack.
sonville the other day and the Times
Union of that city contains the fol-
lowing concerning his visit:
"If we had six times as many men
as we have, there would be work in
the state for all of them, so greatly
is farming increasing" yesterday de-
clared Prof. P. H. Rolls, head of the
experimental department, University
of Florida, Gainesville. Prof. Rolls
was in the city and called to see w. L.
Watson, agricultural adviser of the
Agricultural and Market Bureau, who,
however, was out of the city.
Prof. Rolls spoke interestingly of
the work which Florida is trying to
do to encourage agriculture and in
crease the general prodIctiveness of
the soil. He stated that the active
workers of the state along agricul-
tural lines has increased in the course
of eight years from a staff of three
to total of fifty-two at present.
He regards the fact that right now
in the various branches of the work
the state needs more workers, as sig
nifcant results are being obtained and
that there is healthy spirit of CO.
operation on the part of the public at
large.
He stated that Florida would prof
it by having a silo expert. He thinks
that such a man, whose whole time
could be used in educating the public
to the need of silos and also crops,
would be good investment. This is
his hope during the course of the en-
suing year.
