IT'S DER EARLY BIRD
VAT GETS DER Worm
Said Leo Dinkelspiel as he
Entered der Politics
Oudt.

1t will be some time before the
next campaign in this county, but to
say that the prospective candidates
are sitting idly by and letting the
grass grow under their subseq lent
ends would not be strictly enpassanr,
politically.
'Frinstance every one knows HAT
Pete Hagan has his wether eye on
the office of Sheriff, and that he is
doing all he can to shape sentiment
Haganward. Sheriff Kennerly will
also be there, and has already an
nounced unoffifficially that he will be
candidate. To say that he is let
ting the Johnson grass grow over his
chances would be to belittle the po-
litical acume of the man.
The latest candidate to acknowl-
edge his ambition is Mr.. c. H. Price,
the well-known Cash Grocer, oppo-
site the Court House. You see Mr..
Price has an occasional idle moment
in his store Though not many) and
in these idle moments his thoughts
can not help but follow his eye to the
big county building across the street.
Then it is so natural, when confronted
with this sight every day, for one to
do little yearning for seat at the
table. 1t has been whispered that
Mr.. Price is to be candidate for the
office of county superintendent of
schools, the place now filled by Mr.. ].
ID. Cottingham. The News, there
fore, called on Mr.. Price this week.
Price is fine young fellow; he
looks the student that he has been
and is; he is son of Mr.. Allen Price
of the well-known Price family in the
Melrose section. This young man is
educated, refined, of most pleasing
address. He entered college for the
study of medicine and after two years
hard work was compelled to give up
his studies because of weakness of
vision. That defect has been largely
remedied, and Mr.. Price is again at
work. He has been more than sue
cessful in the grocery trade, but he
has different ambitions and now it's
the superintendency of our county
schools. He is an excellent man for
the place. When asked concerning
this he said:
"Why, yes; l would like the place;
l feel quite equal to the duties and
have an ambition to serve the cause
of education in the county in which
was born and reared. l shall ask
the people of the county to give me
the place at the next primary; no,
don't object to your mentioning the
fact of my ambition; in fact viii
thank you for doing So"

SALE OF
OCALA NORTHERN R. R.
Promises Some Lively Bid
ding-Possible Pur-
chaSers.

The sale of the Ocala Northern
Railway at public o1tcry, by virtue of
decree of the United States District
court of the Southern District of
Florida, and which has been duly ad-
,vertised to take place in front of the
Federal court house in Ocala be-
tween II a. m. and 2 p. m. on Mon
day, February 1st, promises to be a
lively scramble between supposedly
opposing interests for an acquisition
Of the property.
The Ocala Northern connects in a
direct line the cities of Palatka in
Putnam county and Ocala in Marion
county and its properties lie wholly
verses section capable of great de-
velopment, much of the lands being
valuable for general and truck farm
ing. Already several new Isdttle-
ments have sprung up along the line
and settlers have been coming in rap
idly. The New South Farm & Home
Co., one of the most active companies
interested in Florida colonization, has
immense tracts of land along this
road
For some time it has been rumored
here in Palatka that the Seaboard
Air Line was anxious to acquire the
Ocala Northern. This week it has
developed that the A. C. L. is more
than anxious to secure the property
in order to keep the Seaboard from
getting foothold on the business of
this section, and that when the sale
took place the A. C. L. would be on
hand prepared to secure the road
This week representative of the
Dutton Phosphate Co. has been in the
city making investigation as to water
facilities, ETC., as an outlet for Its
phosphate shipments. The Dutton
people, while not opposing the Sea-
boards acquisition, does it seems, ap-
pear to be much opposed to the idea Of
the property falling into the hands OF
the A. c. L. and it is reported that
the Dutton people have said that if
the A. C. L. secured the Ocala North
ern it would only get it by the pay.
ment of stiff price.
The Dutton people evidently are
looking longingly on Palatka and its
water shipping facilities.

Operated on for Appendicitis.

Miss Louise Crosby Gowen, the
young lady who has had successful
class in dancing in this city for sew
eral weeks this winter, is very i'll at
a Jacksonville hospital, where she
was operated on last Tuesday for ap-
pendicitis. Her case is, very serious
but the physicians in attendance are
hopeful and say that she is doing
nicely.
But at the best Miss Gowen will
not be able to go on with her classes
for several weeks, and her father
writes to say that she will not resume
her class work. He gives this early
notice so that some other teacher will
feel at liberty to take up the work.
Miss Gowen has large circle of
friends in the city who will regret to
learn of her illness and will wish for
her speedy recovery.

The Palatka Booklet.

The Tampa Tribune, when it got
copy of the new Palatka booklet,
was so well pleased with the pretty
thing that it said this:
"Palatka, the Gem City, has pre-
sented for the approval and perusal
of the public one of the prettiest
booklets the Tribune has seen this
season
"The Tribune acknowledges the IA
vor of copy, with the compliments of
Moses Folsom, secretary of the Pa
latka Board of Trade.
"The book is artistically printed
and illustrated, the views especially
appealing to the most critical eye. A
feature is the back-cover display Of
FLORIDA Strategic Location" which
brings out interesting facts as. to this
States advantages from geographi-
cal point of view. Palatka is to be
congratulated on receiving the certain
benefits of such high-clas publicity"

Our Won Engleken Much Quoted.

During the latter days of December
there was much discussion in Con-
gress over the rural credits question:
One of the leading speakers was
Congressman Robert j. Bulkley Of
Ohio, whose speech on the subject
carried him into the second day. Mr..
Bulkley quoted extensively from the
reports of Hon. F. j. Won Engelken OF
East Palatka, who, it will be remem.
bered, was one of the United States
commission sent to Europe last year
to Study the system of farm credits
in vogue on. the continent.
On Dec. 22d Mr.. Bulkley quoted en-
tire the digest Of the more impor.
tant European farm mortgage sys'
tens, showing relations of the various
governments thereto" by Mr.. vor
Engelken. The Won Engelken report
is printed in full in the Congressiona
Record of that day. Much stress wa:
laid on the facts and conclusions Of
this report.

Distinguished Clergyman Here.

Making his home at the Saratoga
Hotel for a season is Rev. DR.. II. h.
Green, a sIperanuated minister OF
the Methodist Episcopal church in
Iowa. DIR. Green was in the regular
work of the ministry until 1904, when
he retired from active work. He is
now rs years Of age, but carries his
years well and would hardly be call
ed an old man, though his years are
against him.
His home is at Decorah, in north
east Iowa, town noted as the CEN
ter of Norwegian educational inter-
ests, and publications that reach the
Scandinavian peoples in all parts of
the country. For 16 years Of his
ministry DIR. Green served as a pre-
siding elder and on several occasions
has represented his conference at the
General Conference of the church in
the United States. At the General
Conference of 1900,a held in New
York city, DIR. Green introduced the
resolution that resulted in the publi-
cation of the new church hymnal, a
book that has been adopted not on.

DAVID HOWELL TO
RESIGN AS CASHIER
OF State Bank of Palatka-
Ill Health Given as
Cause.

1t will be anything but agreeable
news to the people of Palatka to learn
that David Howell, cashier OF the
State Bank of Palatka, has rendered
his resignation the same to take effect
at the annual meeting of the stock
holders next week. The reason as
signed is the continued illness which
has followed Mr.. Howell since he was
stricken with typhoid fever early in
June. He is anything bit a well
man now, and is not able physically
to attend to business. He needs, and
will take, long rest. Mr.. Howell
was not at the bank when The News
representative called, but from other
sources it was learned that he does
not contemplate removal from the
city. This will mitigate in meas
ure the sense of loss which came with
the announcement of his official re-
tirement from the bank.
1t is probable that the place to be
vacated by Mr.. Howell will be filled
by Mr.. C. E. O'Connor, late of Ten
nile, Ca, and a most pleasing young
man to meet and one who has had
large experience in bank manage
ment. He is in the city and at the
bank where he is becoming familiar
with local conditions.
1t is reported that both Mr.. Howell
and Vice President R. c. Middleton
of Crescent City have sold their
holdings of stock in the State Bank
of Palatka to parties who were al
ready large stockholders, and that the
price paid for the same was 1.5O.
This certainly was a fine price for
stock in a comparatively new bank
ing institution, but as has been known
in Palatka and the State, this bank
has been doing not only big volume
of business, bit doing it on sound,
commemorative basis, and that it has
had a most phenominal growth. Hon.
F. ]. Fearnside is the president, and
has been since it's formation.
1t was stated yesterday that Mr..
Howells resignation was to take eff
feet en- January 1st, but that it had
not yet been acted on, and probably
would not b. until the annual meet
ing next week. Mr.. Howell has been
out this week some, but ne is in
close consultation with his physician
The stock was purchased by the
Anthony Bros. of West Palm Beach
who recently purchased the Peoples
Bank at Jacksonville. The Withan
System Bankers, Atlanta, Ga, who
own considerable stock in the bank
have, it is said, been trying to Sc
cure more of the stock.

Believes in Florida Climate.

DIR. D. C. Main of Welaka has an
article in the last issue Of the Medi-
cal World of Philadelphia After
detailing his experience in the north
and west, he declares:
without having any bias, ! have
never found climate that / like as
| do that of Florida, nor a climate in
which, for the sake of health, would
rather my family of one girl and three
boys should grow up, tho there are
features about all the diff
ferent climatesrI have tried.

st. Johns River, the tubercular pa
tient who is amendable to any form
of treatment responds to climate
readily, and by living here the year
round adds several years to his life. "
