When the song approached its end,
only the Germans were singing. They
were the only happy ones there.
The nurses rushed forward with
steaming coffee cups; the crowd
pelted the train with boxes of cigar
cts and candy and apples. A basket

A Good Man.

The Times Union of Wednesday
carried nearly a column account of
the death of Thomas Costa, of Talla-
hassee. 1t is seldom that a plain
citizen is given so much notice. This
was in recognition of the general es-
TEEN in which Mr.. Costa was held.
He held no official position, and his
walk in life was along the sequester-
ed paths rather than in the high road
of publicity. Yet the death of no
man in Tallahassee could bring more
genuine regret to so many people.
If we look for reason it can prob
ably be found in the cheeriness of
disposition and the uniform optimism
which were chara acteristic of this de-
parted apostle of sunshine and hap
piness. He had smile and kind
word for all with whom he came in
contact during the days routine, and
today it is borne home to those who
knew him that the world is better for
his having lived. No better tribute
could be paid any man. Unflaqging
loyalty to the cause of the Confeder-
acy was fixed principle with him,
and he made it rule never to miss
reunion. He was the life and main
stay of his local camp, and particular
ly in this rapidly thinning circle will
he be sadly missed.-Orlando Repor-
ter-Star.

Miss Sipprell, County Agent.

Miss Josephine Sipprcll of Flora.
home, one Of the best known and
equipped of our county teachers, who
was last season principal of the Pc
MEL school, has been named by the
county school board as successor to
Mrs. Jessie Burton Collette, as Coun-
ty Demonstration, or Agent in charge
of the Girls Gardening end Canning
clubs.
This is work which Mrs. Collette
started some two years ago in this
county and which she has worked up
great interest in among the school
girls of the county. She resigned
because of the smallness of the pay,
and in her resignation the county
loses a most valuable instructor in a
branch which is bound to be of meal
culable benefit to the future genera
tion of women-the girls of today.
Miss Sipprell as her successor ap-
pears to be a happy choice on the
part of the school board. She, too,
is fitted by nature and training for
this important work, and it is thought
that the county, after she has OBJ
tanned her bearings, will lose little by
the change of demonstrators.

Mayor by AcclamatiOn,

The city convention last Friday
night nominated Hon. w. P. Merriam,
the present mayor, for another term
by reclamation.
Mr.. Merriam was not candidate in
the sense that he was a seeker for
the office. He would only take it on
condition that it was given him by
the free will of the voters of Palatka.
Well, it was so given.
Mr.. Merriam has been mayor for
the past several months by virtue cf
his office as president of the city
council, and became mayor on the
death of the late lamented S. ]. Ken
nerly. He is gentleman of wide &C.
connected with the Wilson
Cypress Co. and one of the members
of the corporation known as the Flor
idr Woodenware Co. of this city. Pa
latka is to be congratulated on its
prospect for having such man to
head its municipal government during
the coming year.

Only Brains and Muscle Wanted

The Florida Farms and Homes, Inc,
successor to the New South Farm and
Home company, is taking hold in the
large territory it occupies and stead
lily improving the same. The COM
pany, on account of the mistakes Of
its predecessor, finds that it has
some prejudices to dispel in addition
to its other work. This company,
however, is following very different
methods from the old one. Of all
things, it does not want helpless peo-
pie to come to Florida, expecting
either to live without work, or to find
easy and convenient work. What it
wants is people of some means with
the disposition to pitch in and i'm
prove a new country. People from
the cities have no business to come
here, expecting to find jobs as STEM
ographers or book-keepers out in the
woods. The company has much good
land, covered with Incompatible eli.
mate, but even these will not sur
a family unless it has brain and mus
Gle to make a fortuitous combination
Of the two elements.-Ocala Star.

lass of Welaka. While there | took
a trip out on Lake George with w. II.
Cannon and Tom Douglass, who were
seining for fish. We were over
near the west shore of the lake when
the seine was pulled in. In the catch
was giant tooth. The tooth weigh
ed four pounds and was seven inches
long and four inches wide. 1t was
broken some, but the roots were
there and a line of demarkation
showing the part above the jaw. Mr..
Cannon has the tooth, but no one
seems to be able to guess the kind
of an animal who had the face to
grow such a monster"

THE PALATKA-RODMAN-
ORANGE SPRINGS ROAD
Bonding Election on Tues
day Gave Big Majority
for Bonds.

That there will soon be fine,
broad highway leading from Palatka
through Rodman and Kenwood to
beautiful Orange Springs was settled
by the votes of the precincts through
which the road will traverse at spe-
cial election last Tuesday.
The vote was nearly four to one in
favor Of bonding for the proposed
road.
The road to be built is in distance
about 20 miles long, and will form a
connecting link in a highway which
will lead from Jacksonville through
Palatka and Ccala to Tampa. This
20 miles just approved is to be con-
structed of sand-asphalt and will cost
little over $4,000, the amount to
cover expense of engineer and bridges
and all other matters connected with
the building.
Among the taxpayers along this
line of road, the small farmer will
cut but little figure. A great part of
the country through which the road
passes is owned by the Rodman Lum-
Der Company, of which Mr.. H. s.
Cummings is the head, and the Flor
ida Farms & Homes, Inc, of which
latter corporation Col. James R. Muir
ply is president and general manager.
Speaking of this Mr.. Murphy re-
minds US that at the last meeting of
the board of county commissioners he
appeared before that body and made
a most liberal proposition. 1t was
this: That if the commissioners
would keep the hard road between
Palatka and Edgar in repair all the
time, he would bear one-half the ex-
nense. That is Murphy all over. He
doesn't want any good thing for moth
ing; he is willing at all times to pay
his part of the score and little more.

n TED LEADERS OF
ANT|-SAL00N FORCES
Will Speak for a DRY Am
erica Rally Next Mon
day Night.

Those who want to hear possibl,
the greatest platform orator in Am.
erica, had better get into the Baptist
church early next Monday night.
The speaker will be Hon. John G.
Woolley, LII. D., one Of the colossal
figures in the temperance reform
with special reference to the move.
ment for a nationwide prohibition
movement.
John G. Woolley is born orator,
Whlch means much more than just be-
ing a polished speaker, for, as has
been said of him, che is that, too, for
ne possesses that God-given power to
stir the hearts, awaken the conscien-
ces and compel conviction in the
minds of his hearers" He is humor-
Gus and witty and logical. Every
sentence of this great orator sparkles
with electric energy. He has been
for many years before the American
people, though it is doubtful if he
has ever before been in Florida to lee
ture.
In company with DR.. Geo. w. Nor
row, one of the leading Anti-Saloon
League workers of the country, DR..
Woolley is making a campaign in the
interests of the Sheppard -Hobson
amendment to the constitution of the
United States for nationwide prohi-
bition, and which will be presented to
the congress at an early day.
One of the great New York dailies,
In referring to DR.. Woolley's address
at the National Anti-Saloon League
convention in Atlantic City last July
said: "His theme was The Spirit Of
the Road 1t was marvel of ora
tory. For more than an hour he
held the great audience under the
spell of his impassioned eloquence."
1t makes no difference what men
may think of the prohibition question
whether they be for it or against it
there is not man living who can
come away from hearing an address
BY John G. Woolley without feeling
hat he had heard the speech of his
ife.
The Palatka Baptist church will be
crowded to the doors next Monday
hight, March Goth. There will be no
charge for admission; but it is like
y that an offering will be made.

SECRETARY ELLIOTT
RET|RES ACTIVELY
From Palatka Board of
Trade to Enter Merryday
Grocery Co.

At called meeting of the Board
of Governors of the Palatka board
of trade on Friday night last week,
Secretary E. W. Elliott, who has been
the guiding star of the board for the
past year, rendered his resignation.
Mr.. Elliott stated that he had busi-
ness offer with the Merryday 'iro-
Gerry Co., one that he could not af-
ford to ignore, and while he thanked
the governors for their cooperation
and assistance in his work during the
year, he felt it incumbent upon him
to insist upon the acceptance Of his
resignation.
The action Of the popular secre-
tary left the board in a bad way; it
would be without a secretary to look
after the correspondence and other
office work of the organization. which
has grown to considerable proper.
tions. The board offered to com
promise with Mr.. Elliott. 1t offered
to get him an assistant secretary pro-
vided he would remain in charge, he
to name his assistant.
Mr.. Elliott considered a moment
and then proposed to continue for
the present as secretary, without sal
ary, ard tc install his ncpnew, Mer.
Ger Davis. to look after the office
work under his direction. This was
acceptable to the governors. Mer-
GER Davis is on deck therefore as as
sistant secretary of the board. Mr..
Elliott calls in each day and helps the
young man over the rough, or unac-
customed places.
Mr.. Elliott has made a premier sec
retary of the Palatka board of trade.
He is mixer and a diplomat. He
has systematized the work and has
the movement of the
trade body as no other secretary was
able to do. He is a business man

grabbed him and Mr.. Elliott is now

The cold of Wednesday night seems
to have done but little if any injury
in the East Palatka section. Mr..
W. A. Walton one Of the big growers
says no damage was sustained at his
farm. P. ]. Becks and Thos. Muir
ray made trip over the district
yesterday afternoon, and on their re-
turn said that the potato fields looked
all right.
These gentlemen apprehended lit
tie trouble for Thursday night, the
wind seeming to have shifted to the
east. However, should the wind die
down the indications favored frost,
in which event the potato fields
would be seriously damaged.
