Danced by Light of Moon,

Tuesday night the young people of
the city went over to the dock in
East Palatka and held dancing par
ty on the deck of the schooner "Flor-
ida" launched that day. There was a
big crowd present. Music was fur
nished by colored stringed orchestra,
and dancing was altogether by the
light of the moon and the little stars,
both of which had to shine through
clouds. 1t was anything but light
and therefore it is not strange that
some of the young people got mixed in
the selection of partners.
The crowd went over in launches
and autos, and had a good time. 1t
was the original intention to bring
the schooner over to the Palatka dock,
Lut. this Fad to be abandoned. and as
the mountain could not come TO Ma
homet, why, he had to go search for
the mountain.

A week or more before his death
Mayor Kennerly had a letter from
the authorities of a San Francisco
hospital, telling of the death in that
institution of George Spalding.
Before his death Mr.. Spalding told
the physician in charge that he had
ans aunt, a Miss Stevenson, who was
last known to be living in Palatka,
Fla, and to whom he wanted to leave
his little accumulation of money.
After advertising the matter with
out success Miss Maude Kennerly,
writing for her father, was compelled
to state that no trace of Miss Steven
son could be found.
Miss Kennerly has received ac-
acknowledgement of her letter in which
regret is expressed at the failure.
Now it does look as if some one
in or around Palatka ought to remem-
Der and be able to tell something
about this Miss Stevenson which
would result in a clue by which she
could be traced to her present home.
1t means money to her.
If you know of anything by which
she can be located. please advise The
Palatka News, and we will see, that
the authorities in San Francisco get
the information.

"Greesy Jim" is Despondent.

"No, l can't remain in Palatka,"
said Greasy Jim Meredith an hour or
two after he had been liberated from
Jail where he has been residing sew
eral weeks on charge of murder.
There was no evidence against me,
and the grand jury turned me loose,
but the odor of the Jail seems to cling
to me still, and must cut away from
Palatka and go where will not be
reminded daily of that fatal drunk"
"Greesy" looks we'll and his wounds
are healing rapidly. He is still ig-
norant of the tragedy on the river
where two of his associates were kill
ed in a drunken row. He will really
be better off in some other place, and
though Palatka will not officially or
der the city hall flag at half mast
over his departure, there will be a
feeling down on the river front that
one of our old land marks has gone
cut into the henceness.

Boys, Plant Pecans.

Boys, we need not tell you that pc
cans are beginning to drop, for many
of you have had your pockets full ere
this. Last year we urged you to plant
some. Did you do so, or did you
crack them all?
If you have no permanent place,
just plant nursery row to get
started; you can bud or graft them
yourselves.
Don't neglect planting for fear you
may never eat the fruit yourselves;
such ideas are not enterprising and
are un-American. If the boys of ten
will plant tree or more they can eat
pecans forty years before they are as
old as | am, and intend to set trees
and plant more this fall.
My first experience was with apple
trees. They are now about As years
old, and are 1900 miles from here. If
there is any one thing in our native
land that | would like to see more
than another it is the trees I set when
boy.
An old gentleman visiting at my
fathers home told of visiting seven
states, and that he ate apples in ev-
cry state from trees of his own plant
ing. We need more enterprise of
that variety in Putnam county.
If every boy that can would set out
few trees or vines useful for their
fruit or shade, and their parents en-.
courage them in their efforts, the re-
suits would be grand in more ways
than one. All boys like to be invited
to help themselves to nice grapes;
just plan to have a few vines of your
own. You can graft wild vines Ito
graft root is better). Another wav
| is to plant a tame vine near a wild
one, bore a hole through the wild one
lat a time when it will not bleed
draw the tame vine through the hole
and let it grow.
Thev will prove a source of profit
and pleasure. The boys would look
unon them as work of their own hands
and take more interest in them. Thus
they would be acquiring knowledge cf
as we'll as liking for, the work of ma
ture in conjunction with their own
efforts. and n yenrs to come wculd
Ilcok back with pride at the results of
tlleif Thoughtful enterprise.
We feel gke repeating 1t with en-

The Schooner Palatka.

The city of Palatka, which just
misses the distinction of being in st.
Johns county, did herself proud
Thursday on the occasion of the
launching of the good ship that bears
her name, and which is rapidly near
ing completion on the banks of the
river near East Palatka.
The schooner Palatka is apparently
a well-built boat of very graceful
lines, but adapted to burden-bearing
rather than speed, and it is quite a
surprise to see so large a vessel un-
der construction in such quiet, we'll

Tallahassee now has daily paper
to boost. 1t has an active Boosters
Club. we'll organized for intelligent
work, and this has been doing some
genuine boosting. The daily comes
along now and will boost the boosters.
Tallahassee has really taken on new
life. The old town has been shaken
and Weakened and then reshaken. Now
that it is to have a live daily paper
to keep it awake there will be no
lapse into the old, long sleep with
which the city was so long afflicted.
The new daily is made by simply null
tiplying the old True Democrat by
six, with Milton A. Smith at the
helm. and assisted by Herbert A. Eel

and intelligent newspaper workers
who has gone out from Tallahassee
and made reputation for himself in
the field of journalism that is most
enviable. With Felkel back in his old

ditions but bound to lift it out of the
slough of despond into which it had
sunk, you can look for something to
