Old man Eduard Gravier is dead.
Up to a month ago he was janitor at
the county court house. He fell i'll
and had to give up the job. He lott
cred about town some three weeks and
last week went to Sanford for a visit.
While walking along the pier at San
ford last Friday he fell into the lake
He was rescued, but the dip was too
much for his enfeebled frame and he
died some twenty minutes after his
rescue.
His daughter who lives in Detroit,
Mich, was communicated with and she
instructed Sheriff Hagan to have the
old man buried here. His remains
were consequently brought to Palatka
and on Tuesday morning he was bu-
ried in Oak Hill after a funeral ser
vice conducted by Fr. Dunworth at
St Monica's Catholic church.
Mr.. Gravier was upwards of so
years of age He had lived in Flor
ida more than 80 years and in Palatka
fully half that time. He was es-
teemed by the officials at the court
house as kindly old man and thor
oughly reliable. He was accommo-
dating and never too tired to do any
little errand for an official. People
all over the county knew him, and
with US will say, MAY he rest in
peace"

DAD ALSO MAKES
4 SACRIFICE.

A boys bsbyhood and youth belong
very largely to his mother. His
father and he may be the best Of
pals, but because the father is at
work all day, while the mother is at
home, there cannot be the same init
macy.
1t is not unit. the boy vcrges On
manhood, till he reaches that time in
his life when he is ready to play the
game with men, that father and son
find themselves in a closer relation
ship. The Dad discovers that the
"kid" talks his language, and the
"kid" learns that Dad is not only Dad
but a bully good companion and
friend who understands his point of
view as no mother, however. loving,
can hope to understand.
This is the time when the father
and son plan together on the boys
immediate and more distant future,
when they have long smoke-talks and
look more deeply into each others
hearts and souls than ever before
And it is just at this place in their
lives that war steps in and separates
them. 1t is Just at this period that
the nation calls upon the son to serve,
and the father to sacrifice.
The mother has had the past, the
father gives up the future.
SO without belittling the beauty
and holiness Of the mothers sacrifice,
let US speak this brief word for the
fearless sacrifice of "Dad'

is a valuable food for man but it is

Miss Rich, Organizer.

Those fortunate enough to have
heard Miss Ruth Rich Monday evening
at the Court House were well repaid
for coming. In a concise and con-
vincing manner she laid the plans
and purposes very specifically before
her audience of the stupendous work
of the Red Cross society both at
home and abroad. Facts that re-
main are these-the immense growth
of the organization since the declar-
alton of war, the immense amount Of
territory covered by the various chap
ters where the societies are found,
the humanitarian work accomplished
along all lines, cooperation of men
of national reputation in perfecting
and standardizing the work, thous-
ands of influential citizens as men,
bers giving their time absolutely free
to the Red Cross work, and the un-
told suffering relieved by the Red
Cross aid. Miss Rich told Of the fine
quality of work that is being sent out
hv the Palatka society and the guam
tity too, which is surely encouraging.

Monticello Is Leading

Gsdsden County Times: The Mont
iceIlo News begs to inform us that
Monticello is not following the lead Of
Tallahassee in the matter of an eleva-
tor. but already has one completed,
while Tallahassee has just organized
q company to build one. Glad to
make the correction, but our point is
that with such fine examples right
around US, Quincy also should have
an elevator to facilitate the handling
Of her large corn crop.
