seen most any pleasant day working
off their surplus energy by knocking
little Lall in the air.
o. H. Perry of Manlius, N. Y,
thought so well of our new Palatka
booklet that he sent the board S. for
100 copies. Mr.. Perry has long had
an interest in Palatka. If everybody
in the place had that sort of spirit the
old town would hum.

Some good man, for the benefit of
those Palatkans who do not search
the scriptures" stood all afternoon

meeting in the paror of the Saratoga
Hotel on Friday afternoon of next

many. Present methods are certainly
open to criticism and the good women

opinions on the subject.
