MULHOLLAND PARK AN
ADDITION OF BEAUTY
To Palatka-Stone Posts
Mark Entrance to
Driveway.

Up to the present time there has
been no newspaper mention of the i'm
rrovements under way at Sunny Point
by its owner, Miss Mary Mulholland.
The News has been waiting, however,
intending when the work progressed
to a certain point, to call attention to
the great improvement in which all
Palatka is to share at Miss Mulhol-
lands generous expense.
As noted last winter Miss Mulhol-
land has opened up roadway through
her grounds as an extension of Sec
ond street. On lots facing this eX-
tension, several of which have been
sold, one well-appointed four-family
apartment house has already been
erected. Other homes will likely
soon be erected facing this roadway.
Where the old gate stood at the en-
trance of this property, have been
erected within the past few weeks
substantial stone, or concrete, posts
in which the words "Mulholland Park
have been cut. The roadway is to
De SfdNeleu one anu all lle law Hs
and shrubs are to be in keeping with
the park idea. At the First street
entrance another opening will be made
and dedicated to public use, and bor-
dering this and extending to the river
line, Mr.. F. H. Wilson has purchased
good frontage and on this he will
soon build beautiful bungalow.
A large part of the property, in,
GLIDING that on which stands the ole
colonial mansion which serves as Miss
Mulholland's residence, will be kept
by her and improved. 1t is Miss
Mulholland's purpose at the present
time to will this reserved part to the
city for park purposes, though Of
course she may for reasons which dc
not now appear, change her mind. A
Iany rate she is doing enough at pres
ent to entitle her to the lasting graf
itude of Palatkans, for she is opening
up one of the most attractive section:
CT the city in such a way as to insure
that it will always remain place o
beauty.

The County Commissioners,

\ Beautiful Store.

Since J. H. Yelverton Jr. secured the
old Gerber store on Lemon street and
fitted the same up in modern way with
artistic furniture and its accessories
n evidence in windows and other dis
rlav, PalatkanS are awakening to the
fact that they have one more modern
mercantile house to which they can
point with pride"
This week Mr.. Yelverton is calling
attention to some new things and bar
gains offered in this store which are
veil worth examining. One of these
Is decorated dinner set of A pieces
which he offers at S4.75. Crockerv
and glassware is a new departure for
this store, but now that he is in it, Mr..
ielverton can be depended on to make
It an interesting feature of his stock.

NEW SOUTH FARM AND
HOME COMPANY LANDS
In Putnam, Marion and Clay
Counties Bought in by
Bond Holders.
Sale Took Place on Monday at Court
House-Purchase Price was Five
Hundred Thousand Dollars.

James R. Murphy, representing the
bond holders of the New South Farm
and Home Company of this city, pur-
chased the entire holdings of the
company in the counties of Putnam,
Marion and Clay at the masters sale
at the court house in this city last
Monday noon. The price paid for
these lands was $500,000. Mr.. Chas.
H. Seig, who was present, retains his
half interest in the property, and will
likely be one of the directors, but in
the management he will be succeeded
by Mr.. Jas. R. Murphy, gentleman
we'll l-known in Palatka as an affible,
genial business man and one who is
eminently fitted to be command
ing general in big enterprises.
1t is said that the company will be
re-organized as soon as the court has
confirmed the sale, an action sched-
uled to take place next Monday. The
receiver will most likely be checked
out in day or two following the ac-
ton of the U. S. court in Jackson
vile.
1t is said that the newly organized
| company Will De KNOWN dS rlOTlud
Homes and Farms Co. and that Mr..
Murphy will be the president. He
will have his office in this city, which
will be headquarters for the new
company as it was the old. The sale
was an amicable settlement of all the
difficulties which have hitherto divid-
ed the bondholders and the Sieg inter-
ests, and though these difficulties have
occupied much of the time of the
court, none of the purchasers of lands
will or have suffered thereby. tAll
is peace, and the devil of litigation
has ceased to pursue.
Col. Chas. H. Sieg will go to Chi
cago to open an office for his new
company, to be known as the Chas. H.
Sieg Co. Mr.. Fred'k W. Turner, long
a resident of Palatka and the Secre-
tary and Treasurer of the old COM
pany will accompany Col. Sieg to
Chicago where he will be resident
manager.
Col. Sieg has large tracts of Flori-
da land, but none which he prizes so
highly as he does his several thous-
ands of acres in the Florahome dis
trict of this county. Now that he
has set out to boom Florahome lands
there will be something "didding" in
that rich section of muck and hidden
money, which only awaits compile
tion of drainage operations and culti-
walton to reveal it.

Following up this report Mr.. Wal
ton made a clear and careful analy-
sis of the situation and showed the
Importance of immediate action.
This calls for an election to be held
to elect the five members of the char
ter commission, or constitution max
ers, whose work when complete shall
he submitted to the people for approx
al.
| Alderman Jarrett moved that in
view of the study given to the sub
;ect that Aldermen Walton and Davis,
and City Attorney Merryday, with H..
| 0. Hamm and j. H. Yelverton Jr., be
nominated as a charter commission,
and that their names be placed on a
ballot and submitted to the approval
of voters. This motion was ap-
proved.
An election was also called to ratify
these names, the same to be held on
Tuesday, October 10th.
Certainly there will be little if any
objection to the gentlemen selected for
this work. Several of them have CIV
en- a great deal of study to municipal
matters and were on special board

purpose of drawing up new charter,

This protest was read and referred to
the police committee for report.
Other matters of Importance were
taken up and disposed of. Perhaps,
however, the most important of these
was the adoption of the report and
recommendations of Aid. Davis of the

those lost on personal taxes, and for
80 new ones on sidewalk and paving

jAPs KNOW NO PROFANITY
Their Language Contains No "swear
WORDS" Unfortunately So Com
mon In the West.

The Jap is always polite, but once in
q while he slips from grace-and when
he does he 10 UP against It. for there
are no swearwords In the Japanese
language, says q writer in Leslie's
Weekly. When q Japanese meets you
he bows three times and takes or his
hat, but does not shake hands. When
he greets you his first concern is
about your ancestors and next about
your stomach. 1t would be almost an
open insult for one Japanese to meet
another without asking him how his
stomach Jared. On the third bow he
asks: This morning, how is 1t with
up on your third bow you answer to
the effect that the place mentioned is
doing as well as could be expected
and in turn ask him what news he
has from the front. Then he lifts his
hat again and says: Your delightful
head this morning, / hope 1t have no
commotion." When you tell him that
you are pleased to report that it feels
we'll this morning he asks about a
few generations OF honorable ances.
tors and then you are free to take up
the weather.
Even though they are deliberately
polite, once in a while one Japanese
win get mad at another. Their anger
kindles slowly at first, finally tanning
to blaze that knows no staying. But
even though there is a torrent of emo.
ton seething in his soul there are no
words to give it vent; 1t keeps surging
harder and harder until 1t throws
aside all restraint and gives up all
idea of decency by putting into one
phrase all his bitterness and swapping
squareiy into the other mans aston
ished face the worst thing that can be
said in the whole language: Your
stomach is not on straight" This is
the final insult; nothing more can be
added-he has cast the glove. There
is nothing left for him to do but to
give his enemy a cutting look, turn on
his heel and haughtily clap-clap away
on his wooden shoes.
