BARBECUE MATTERS
PROGRESSING FINELY
Committee on Arrangements
Will be Ready for Record
Crowd.
Indications are that Palatka will be
Taxed to the Limit-Visitors coming
from all Parts of County.

The committee Of arrangements
for the big political barbecue to well
come the State Candidates have every
thing IN readiness for the big event.
Gut at the Burt lot on the Riverside
Drive, under the giant oaks, the ta-
bles are being built, together with
the speakers stand.
julius Neubeck, expert barbecue
chef, has selected his beef and pork
ers, and they are of the best speci-
mems raised in Florida. He will
have the meat barbecued to the
queens taste, and has selected as his
chief lieutenant and assistant M. O,
Osteen, who is also some punk when
it comes to barbecuing a steer.
1t will be the big political rally of
the year. All OF the prominent
State and Oongressiona candidates
will be present and some of them
are orators.
There is one exception. Rev. Sid
ney }. Cats, now prominent as a
gubernatorial candidate, will proba-
bly, not be present. He has been
eoitSe w DlIHllHSHdHl, Aid, TO Cne
bedside of dying son. This will
disappoint many OF his friends here.
Of course there is a possibility that
he may yet come.
Jack Becks, chairman of the COM
mittee on arrangements, says that
letters and enquiries received all
indicate that the people from the
country sections will simply pour
into town to hear these eminent
men.
This committee has sent invita-
tions to every State and National
candidate, and while these were sep
arated by the State Executive Com
mittee and given separate itineries, it
is likely, owing to the immensity of
the affair planned, that the Senatorial
candidates will be here as well as the
candidates for Governor, Congress-
men and the minor State Offices.
Surely it is Palatka's purpose to
provide a good fashioned feed for
all visitors. Their intellectual and
political food will come from the Wis
iting candidates. There is a chance
for overfeeding in either case

Died in the Night, Alone.

Mooney & Davis, undertakers, have
forwarded the remains of Thomas Nc
Donald, who died sometime during the
night of last Monday alone in his
home at Orange Mills, to his brother,
Mr.. John Mcdonald, of Syasset, Long
Island, New York.
Deceased was a member of the b.
P. O. E. of Norwalk, Conn, as papers
found in his home indicated. Elks of
this city assisted in arranging for and
discovering the whereabouts of his
relatives. He was found by neigh
bors who missed him. They saw a
light burning in his house and went in
only to find him dead. He lived alone,
and little was known concerning him:
Mooney & Davis were notified and
they took charge Of the body.

The CAPACITY to Sleep,

Very enviable is the capacity to
sleep in any position, which has been

chairman OF the Democratic National
Committee The two men had a general
discussion OF Democratic campaign plans.
The matter of immediate concern is
the selection OF the campaign commit
tee. This committee will consist OF
dozen or more political leaders. who's
active support the President desires. II
is believed the President will choose at
least one or more men OF independent po-
htical convictions. Whether or not he
will invite q member Of the Progressive
party to accept membership is specua-
tive.
One Of the aims OF the Wilson organ
izers will be to appeal TO the independent
voters. Demoa~asic politicians profess
10 believe that the Progressives have an
open mind on campaign issues.
The work OF organizing the campaign
among the independents already has
been begun by the Wilson Nonpartisan
League This work is to be carried on
under the direction OF Henry MorgenthaU
Charles r. Crane. Norman Hapgood and
others independently OF the National
Committee.
Mr.. Mccormick said he expected TO re-
turn to Washington in a few days. It
IS certain he will be in close touch with
the President, who is known to believe
that the Democracy should wage an aG-

His breakfast was served to him,
and after that he was ready for his
adventure. Quickly setting out. he

down to rest and consider what was
best to do next. Suddenly. he heard
the sound of hoof beats, and in an
other moment handsome young man
drew rein close to Puss.
"Ah" exclaimed the stranger, look
ing at Puss. Would that you were a
dog"
What" answered Puss Junior In
dignantly, "am I such a sorry looking
cat that you would have me be a
