oranges have been made by express

no movement of note until after the

but littl early fruit here, but the or

"We should not be discouraged,

We shall not make the same progress
that we hoped for, but we shall step
up and on.
"It is the duty of all those whose
disappointment in the present stage
of affairs is great, to buckle on their
armor and to push toward better
things, to take their places in the
ranks of those who would stir the re-
ligious spirit of the community and
who would preach as part of their

MACHINERY BUSINESS - is
PROOF OF PALATKA'S ADVAN-
TAGE AS A DISTRIBUTING
POINT.

Papers of incorporation for the H.
M. de Montmollin Co. have been pre-
pared, with capital stock of $4,000
to engage in a general wholesale hard
ware and machinery business, with
Pala&ka as the distributing point.
With this corporation will be merg-
ed the firm of H. NJ. de Montmollin,
an establishment that has ben very
successful in Palatka in retail busi-
ness.
The officers Of the new firm will be
H. M. de Montnollin, president; Geo.
f. Ford, vice-president, and E. Rice,
treasurer.
The firm will enlarge the present
quarters occupied by Mr.. de Mont
nlollin and place travelling men on the
road to cover all territory adjacent
to Palatka and reached by river and
railroad traffic in a radius of hun
dred miles.
The entry of this firm into the
wholesale distribution business here
is but another indication of the ad-
vantages offered by Palatka as dis
tribution center. 1t roves the at
tractiveness of conditions prevailing
for the successful and economical OPP
Grafton of a wholesale business.
A full line of hardware, machinery
and general farm supplies will be car

se--
americans who have close to their
hearts the preservation of our liber-
ties under the forms fashioned by
the wisdom of the fathers" he said,
have felt much concern of late by
reason of the activities of certain
classes of aliens who have taken up
residence in this country. How far
the alien agitator shall be permitted
to advance his menacing propaganda
among a people of whom he has made
himself part, only to further his de-
signs against our institutions and
laws, is one of the most serious ques-
tlcns arising out of the unprecedented
war.
"We have been hospitable peo-
pie. In the beginning the strip of
land along the eastern coast, from
Massachusetts Ito Georgia, was peo-
pied by courageous, freedom-loving
men and women who found here all
the real essentials of life which were
denied them across the seas. In la
ter times by reason of the open gen.
erosity of the Government the al
most boundless stretches of the West
were covered by the homes of men
who became owners of the soil, a
couse and effect never dreamed of in
the Old World, where the land was
only for classes who had held it
throuf Sthe centuries.

life of tJhe great republic under a plan
which was conscientiously designed
to make one great, homogeneous peo-
pie out of population gathered from
every corner of the globe. No regret
is anywhere expressed for this broad
minded and farsighted policy. But
just TO that degree that we have been
generously and unselfishly hospitable
we naturally resent the abuse of that
hospitality.

This board will be shown that jack

This feature of Jacksonville's case
is expected to overshadow amy claims
