TION.

Post office receipts at Palatka fol
the last quarter show a healthy in.
crease, according to the report o.
Postmaster Stumpe, just completed
and indicates that there is a steady
increase in business out of Palatka
comparison of the receipts for the last
quarter and the same quarter in 1915
is hardly fair, although they are near
ly as much. Last year the three cent
postage rate was in effect, which in
creased postal receipts seventeen per
cent. Even with this advantage the
receipts for the quarter Of 1919 COM
pares very favorably and is almost
as much as for the same quarter in
1918.
The comparison with figures for
the same quarter two years ago is
really a fair test, although at that
time = the big Southern Farm and
Home Co., was in operation here,
boosting the receipts at the local post
office many hundreds of dollars dur
ing the quarter. This handicap has
been overcome and exceeded.
Postmaster Stumpe said today that
the indications are now that all for
mer records, even during the time that
the three cent postage & 4,
will be broken this quart... .s>sg
Comparative figures submitted by
Mr.. Stumpe are as follows:
Actual receipts of office for the
quarter ending September 30.
1917, July, Aug. & Sept -$4 ,6O6.1l
1918, July, Aug. & Sept 5,964.23
1919, July Aug. & Sept 5,O1O.43
These figures, taken in connection
with comparative bank deposits pub
lisked in The News recently are detin-
ite and conclusive of the steady
growth of the city. But even more
conclusive is the increased number OF
new corners and daily visitors to Pa
latka.
Patronage at local hotels has never
been as heavy at this season Of the
wear as it is now and never has there
been such a demand for houses and
apartments.

In addition to the patriotic feature
of the celebration there is much to be
considered in the interest of Palatka

it will also be the means of bringing
the residents of smaller towns in the
county to the county seat to partici-
