side this part is we'll built and En-
gineer Stallings who hhd supervision

Don't Boost Prices For Tourists.

Florida this year will experience a
wonderful tourist season. 1t will I'M
doubtedly have all the visitors it can
accommodate. 1t has taken good care
of them heretofore, and from many
points of view can far better please
and accommodate them now.
The point is this-don't boost prices
for their accommodations to the point
where they feel that we have exact
ed "all the traffic will bear" The
railrads do not boost their fares nor
their freight rates because they feel
that the tourist OF winter visitors is
at their mercy. By so doing, the ho-
tells create a bad impression-our
Wis tors have an unfriendly feeling to-
ward us-and the word goes out that
hurts us far and near. Gain the
friendship and good will of every visi-
tor this season by reasonable hotel and
restaurant charges and it will be the
most valuable publicity Florida can
acquire.%

MRS. {. T. EVELAND
DIES SUDDENLY
EvelandS Are Prominent
Winter Residents of
NOrWalk.

Mr.. l.. j. Mcleod of Welaka Las
sent to The News information con-
cerning the recent death Of Mrs. c.
f. Eveland who for a number of
years has been a winter resident of
NOlwalk, this county, and who with
her husband and daughter Miss Ger
trude, was planning an early occu-
pancy of their beautiful winter home
Information concerning the death Of
Mrs. Eveland came to Mr.. Mcleod in
directly through Mr.. A. Markley Har-
ry of NorristoWn, Pa, who writing
under date of the 7th inst. says:
Last Thursday morning at 9 a. m.,
l received a message over the phone:
Mrs. Eveland died this moning at
5 o'clock" l asked the party to re-
peat the message. l could not real
ize it; it was certainly a shock.
"On Wednesday, Oct. Sd, Mr.. Eve
land called at the office, took him out
to lunch; he was expecting Gertrude
that afternoon from New York. She
had been east for several months.
Friday Mr.. Eveland and Gertrude
called at the office; took them out to
lunch. Monday Gertrude and her
mother called on their way to Ger
mantown to spend the day; made ar
rangements for them to come out to
Norristown Wednesday, as they had
reservations on the 80 p. m. train
on Thursday. | met them at the
station; we went out on the 1:25 p.
m. train, an auto took us to the house,
rested sometime, then an auto ride
around Valley Forge, Bryn Mawr and
home. After dinner the ETelands left
on the $3.50 train for Philadelphia.
Mrs. Eveland was as we'll as usual,
so you can imagine my surprise when
l received the phone message next
morning.
"They left for Chicago that after
noon on the train on which they had
reservations. 1t was a sudden and
a hard blow for Mr.. Eveland and Ger
trude This may make some change
about going to Norwalk this winter.
It was their intention to do So"
Friends of the Evelands in Welaka
and other parts of the county will
learn of the death of Mrs. Eveland
with much sorrow.

CROWD CHASING CATS
THROUGH STREETS
Was Novel Sight in Palatka
WedneSday--Cat Had
Run Amuck.

The first we noticed Of this novel
sight was a great crowd Of excited
business and professional men gath
.ering in front of The News office.
Fred Cochrane seemed to be the COM
mander-in-chie anyway he carried a
large sized revolver and his face was
flushed with excitement.
The crowd began peering through
an air hole in the sidewalk that led
to the basement of The News office.
Inquiry showed that Joe Haugh-
TOMS cat had run amuck. 1t jumped
upon an inoffensive lady who was
walking past the drug store and bit
her. The lady was worried, as she
had right to be. Then the cat run
out into the street followed by several
men. The cat seemed excited; the
men ditto. Fred Cochrane was there;
he called out a warming to the men in
the street. Judge Blackwell seemed
unafraid; he didn't stir but looked the
cat square in the eye; the judge is
friendly to cats. Two strangers
were passing and getting near to the
cat; Mr.. Cochrane called out his
warning, but too late; the cat jumped
for the best looking man struck his
lower leg and began to climb his
trousers. When the man remonstrat-
ed the cat bit him in the leg.
The crowd was gathering in the
meantime; Fred Coohrane had procur-
ed a revolver of 3S calibre. He led
the army of men fearlessly. AS the
cat saw the crowd coming, he started
down Second street to The News of
flee. when he lodged into the open
ing under the building. The crowd
waited. By and by the cat appear
ed. Come kittie," said some one.
and the crowd backed away-all but
Fred Cochrane, who stood like an
hero waiting to slaughter
or be slaughtered. The cat came
forth and seemed to slink away. Fred
backed also away with his gun point
ed at the enemy. He didn't fire for
the reason that he was afraid the
bullet might miss the cat and hit a
citizen either fore or aft, and Fred
didn't want to take any chances.
Then the cat seemed restless; he
lodged the crowd and skipped up
Lemon street; he slowed down in
front of the Putnam barber shop and
a man there hit him with a club.
The cat succomed to the hit. Death
came to his relief.
It is said that this was the cats
first experience with death, although
Fred Kells ran over him some years
ago and caused him to go hump
backed for several months.

Green and Orange Union.

The popular demonstrations evoked in
Ireland by the visit of Canadian Irish
regiment are such as TO strengthen the
hope that the Irish people at home will
yet unite on form OF government for
their country. In their hands the ques-
tion rests, and surely it is not beyond
the power OF settlement by themselves
If in the south and the north, at Dublin
and Armagh, they find it possible TO OBJ
literate party divisions and join party
colors in honor of men of the Irish race
who see nothing incompatible between
their enjoyment of self-government on
this side of the Atlantic and their fight
ing of the imperial battle on the other.
These Canadian soldiers are not all of
one faith, but they are all of one mind
in not coloring their religion with poll
tics. AT Armagh, last Sunday, one body
of them attended service in the Catholic
cathedral and the other body in the
Protestant cathedral. When they came
out they formed up again together I'M
der the imperial and dominion colors.
And most notable because unprecedent-
ed, was this, that in that city of Ulster,
that stronghold of the "Blaek North"
the partisaDs of the orange and the green,
the Protestants and the Catholics, by
agreement, wore emblems COM
posed of the two colors, thus demon
strating for once a harmony of feeling
that just needs wise expansion to settle
the question of Irish government For
this waits only until the people of Ire
land agree.-Boston Herald.

WATERBURY,

The Twenty-Five club had the pleasure
of entertaining and of being entertained
by Byron n. Clark, state secretary of the
Y. M. G. A., Monday evening at their
regular meeting at the Waterbury inn.
The invitation was issued Mr.. Clark be-
cause of the interest arising from the pa
per prepared by Prof. Aldrich few
weeks ago on the "Crying Need OF More
Work for the Boys in This Vicinity"
Out of this grew the question of the pos
sibilities or advisability of organizing a
Y. M. c. A. in town of this size. The
use of the James barn as a building has
been advocated and much enthusiasm
shown. Sec. Clark said Monday evening
that the greatest problem of the Y. M.
G.. A. work is its extension into towns
of this size-not large enough for city,
too large for rural Y. M. c. A.. work.
This requires something different and If
anything is done here it will really be a
pioneer work along new field. The out
come of this talk and the plans will be
followed with interest

SAVE DADS LIFE
GET 1T FOR HIM
Says 1t Is Suicide to Cut Corns and
Tells How They Lift
Right Out

You simply say to the drug store man,
give me quarter of an ounce of freez-
one This will cost very little, but is
sufficient to remove every hard or soft
corn from ones feet
A few drops applied directly upon a
tender, aching corn should relieve the
soreness instantly, and soon the entire
corn, root and all, can be lifted orrt with
the fingers without pain.
This new way to rid ones feet of corns
was introduced by Cincinnati man, who
says that while freezone is sticky it dries
in moment, and seems to simply shrivel
up the corn without inaaming or even
irritating the surrounding tissue or skin.
Don't let father die of infection or
lockjaw from whiting at his corns, but
cut this out and make him try it.--Adv.
