BIG CROWDS VISIT
ALACHUA CO. FAIR
Splendid Exhibits of Live
Stock-Big University
Parade.

Gainesville, Nov. 29-Many thou
sands Of visitors passed through the
Far gates Wednesday, and the
grounds were thronged by eager
slght-seers and pleasure-seekers
from early morn until late in the
night. 1t was a most inspiring sight
and one that delighted the Fair
management. Today and Friday may
be just as big days in point of at
tendance, but yesterday will be hard
TO beat. There are only two more
days Of the Fair and none should fail
to take it in before it closes.
Comparisons are said to be odious,
put there Is no use to cover the mat
ter up IN any way, the live stock eX-
hlblt at the Fair this year by far ex-
GELS that of either of the two former
seasons. First of all this is proven
by the number of new pens which are
in evidence and filled with stock, and
secondly, a man who is at all familiar
with live stock must concede that the
quality and grade of the stock is
quite superior to former years.
The exhibits cover hogs, cattle
horses, and mules. From the blue
ribbons which were ih evidence COM
pared with the red ones it is evident
that the judges have had high ap-
precation of the entries.
The University parade Wednesday
came off as per published schedule,
except that the train on which Gov
ernor-elect Cats was to arrive in the
city was two hours late, and it was
decided to let the parade proceed, and
at II o'clock the reception commit
tee, headed by the University band
escorted Mr. Cats to the Fair where
he delivered a mastery address to
the waiting crowds before the grand
stand.
In the auto conveying the guest of
honor to the Fair was DR.. Farr, vice
president of the University, and Ma
ior J. W. Tench. followed by the
committee in other cars. Dr.. Farr
introduced Mr.. Cats, who in the
course Of as able an address as was
ever listened to here, paid a glowing
tribute to the University, the Fair and
the county.
The floats in the parade for origi-
nality eXcelled ANYTHING ever before
seen in the city. Many were amusing,
such as the sausage mill, showing a
dog beng fed in the yawning hopper
and string of sausage coming out
at the bottom. The sight will cripple
the sausage trade There was the
large tank in which stood eight pret-
tv girls, labeled 'Florida Lass()es: s
Gals" Also the still, showing the
manufacture of "Catts' Mountain
Dew"

Canning Club Demonstration.

Miss Agnes Ellen Harris, superin-
tendent in charge of the Girls Can
ming Clubs in Florida, and a member
Of the faculty of the Florida College
for Women at Tallahassee, was in the
city yesterday, and in connection with
Miss Josephine Sipprell, our county
agent, gave public demonstration at
the board of trade rooms in the after
noon.
Owing to the inclemency Of the
weather, the attendance was not as
large as was hoped for, and yet those
who came out were greatly profted,
and the cause of the Girls Clubs in
this county was greatly advanced.
Miss Harris is a very bright woman
and her efforts of the past three years
in behalf of the young women of the
farms, has resulted in bringing them
more to the front as important factors
in the development OF rural life.

At a regular meeting of Palatka

following resolutions were adopted:
Whereas, 1t has pleased our AL
might Father, in His divine wisdom,
to remove from our midst, and take
unto Himself our dearly beloved sis
ter, Daisy 0. Neck, and acknowledge
ing that to the Supreme Power and
Right Of Him Who giveth and taketh

cree, therefore, be it
Resolved, that the members of Pa
latka Temple No. Is, Pythian Sisters
do hereby acknowledge that in her de-
parture from this earthly sphere, they
have sustained a very great loss. She
was charter member of Palatka
Temple No. Is, Pythian Sisters, be-
loved by all its members, Past Chief
and Grand Representative-"ever
faithful to the end'-and her loss will
be deeply felt in our Temple.
She was a devoted wife, and loving

Be it further
Resolved, that a copy of these reso-
lutions be spread upon our minutes,
copy be sent to the bereaved husband
of our departed sister, and that they
be published in the city papers.
| cannot say, | will not say
That she is dead-she is just away;
With CHEEKY smile, and a wave of

She has wandered into an unknown
land
And left US dreaming how very fair
1t needs must be, since she fingers
there.
Think of her still the same | say
She is not dead-she's just away
And will await us
In that Temple above-not made with
hands
And where parting is known no more
forever.

"What Shall The Harvest Be-"
Communicated J

(COmmunlcated.)
Last Sunday evening | was walk
ing along Lemon street on my way
to church. On nearly every corner
Of the street and in the doorways of
some of the stores were groups of
young men and lads, laughing and
talking, utterly UNCONSCIOUS of their
duty to go and do homage to the
Prince of Peace. AS | passed along
the question came to me, and with
awful force, What Shall the Har-
vest Be-" What is my responsible
ty as a Christian in this community
of churches? Why is it that the
young men of our city prefer to stand
in the doorways and on the street
corners on a cold night rather than
enter the house set apart for the
worship of God? Is it because of
my unfaithfulness as a Christian? Is
it because |, as a representative Chris
tian, am not living the life which re-
fleets my Master? Why did not l,
as follower of the lowly Nazarine,
extend the invitation to those young
men to come with me to the house of

of another creed on the street and
refuse to extend the hand of fellow

es in Palatka. Their hair is becom-
ing silvered with age. In short
time they will be no more. Who is
to fill in the ranks? The young men
are not there. The young women are
not there. What of the future.
We must have our boys and girls
in the church. We must place
around them the influences for good.
We must live the life that will show
them that we are sincere-we must
practice what we preach. Better to
destroy every church in Palatka rath-
er than have them for stumbling
blocks. Break down your preiudices,
meet on the common level of honest,
sincere, christian love, and show to
our boys and girls that there is some
thing in the religion of the Lord Je-
sus Christ. Then, and only then,
will we see our young men and wo-
men in the church of God, earnest
seekers after the light, ready to do
the work of the Master.
