BUSINESS BLOCKS
AND RESIDENCES
Are Being Built in Palatka
Promise of a Good
Season.

There has been considerable in the
line of building in Palatka during the
past three months, but it is the prom
ises for the future that are most en-
couraging.
The coming summer is to be a good
business season in Palatka; farmers
in this section are in the way of
making money, and when the farmers
prosper, Palatka is bound to come in
on the tidal wave of prosperity.
The greatest amount if prosperity
is due from the potato fields in East
Palatka and beyond. The crop is one
Of the most promising as to future re-
wards ever grown here. And the
prices, according to present indica-
uions are to be enormous.
That our merchants expect a good
trade is seen in the fact that they
have generally put in generous stocks
of the best, most attractive goods.
The city is growing rapidly. One
subscriber who lived here formerly
and knew everybody, wrote the other
day renewing his subscription, but
stated that he didn't recognize one
in twenty of the names now appearing
in the local news. People are chang
ing, and the new comers are being
mentioned.
These new people are wanting
homes, and many new houses have al
ready gone up and more are promised.
T Ja TO Il
ing extensive improvements on his
own residence has built during the
winter a mighty fine bungalow home
opposite; this new house has been
occupied since mid-winter by Mr.. j..
E. Johnson of the Merryday Grocery
Co.
J. H. Haughton built pretty bun
galow home near his own residence
which adds materially to the good i'm
pressions of this delightful residence
section of Palatka. Another new and
attractive bungalow is that at the
corner of Olive and Fifth streets
now nearly completed for Mr.. and
Mrs Fred T. Merrill. 1t is frame,
with wire and stucco of concrete
the wire to hold the latter in place.
E. M. Earnest who recently bought
the Parker Smith house is having the
same remodeled in fashioned like the
home of a plutocrat.
By the way did it ever strike you
that this north west portion of the
city is one of the prettiest residence
sections in Palatka. in the state of
Florida for that matter.
Out on Lemon street beyond Fifth
the MacGregor estate is building a
warehouse for the Hart Furniture
Company, and as soon as that is COM
pleted will begin the erection of a
store in front size 80 60 for the
same company. This new store is to
be built of concrete blocks. The old
livery stable two or three doors be-
vond has been cleared and it is said
that another building is likely to go
up on that lot.
The Baptist people are going to
erect pretty annex. or assembly
room to the church, all of which was
extendedly noted some two weeks
ago.
The Woman's Club is getting ready
to build a Club House on lot owned
by the club on Reid street.
And the Palatka Public Service
Company will likely be getting busy
very soon to erect the three or four
story building on First street next
to the Griffin building.
This is onlv few of the pros
pective building operations scheduled
for Palatka during the coming sum-
mer.

TOWEL AND MEDICINE CLOSET.

\ good idea for a towel and medi- cine closet or cabinet in two bath rooms which have common wall is to divide the one closet space into thirds latcrally. The upper third forms the two shallow medicine closets, back to back, with a mirrored door in each bathroom. The other two-thirds ex- tend through the depth of the closet and arc used for towels. Each of these divisions opens into one of tbe bathrooms.
