that he prophesies a glorious future
for Putnam county and promises to
spend the entire coming winter in
Palatka
During the past week | have had
several suggestions made me regard
ing subject matter that several indi-
vldTals and sections seem anxiou. to
be handled by the board of trade.
much of which has been stated pre-
vluosly and will not be new; among
them are concrete bridge and a
permanent road to Hastings to con-
meet with the Miami Montreal High
way.
Other subjects which have likewise
been metioned to me and of which a
majority OF you are familicr are a
county fair, school buildings. farm
demonstration agents, regular meet
ing of the board of trade at least
twice month, also weekly excursions
from other points to Palatka. This is
a feature that seems to be a great
help to other cities enjoying such
a privilege.
| wish also to compliment the
board of trade on its rooms and To-
cation, which need but little arrange
ment to easily be second to none in
the state in accessibility, convenience
Of arrangement and instructive abil-
ity.
| will also state that am here not
only as your secretary of the board
of trade, but as a citizen, tax payer
and one among the good people Of Pa
latka who call it HOME-and what
ever effects the interest of Palatka
and Putnam county, will likewise be
of interest to me, regardless of my
affiliations as secretary, and / wish
to thank the good people of Palatka
for their kind welcome to the Gem
City. The press, the business men,
and private citizens have all shown a
kindness that l shall not soon forget
and if all new comers among you
were treated with the same consider
alton the population of Palatka would
soon equal the largest cities Of the
hospitable southland.
