COLIC, CHOLERA AND
Diarrhea Remedy
A few doses of this remedy will
invariably cure an ordinary at
tack of diarrhea.
It has been used in nine epi-
demies of dysentery with perfect
success.
It can always be depended
upon, even in the more severe
attacks of cramp colio and chol
era morbus.
, It is equally successful for
summer diarrhea and cholera
infantum in children, and is the
means of saving the lives of many
, children each year.
When reduced with water and
sweetened it is pleasant to take.
Every man of a family should
keep this remedy in his home.
Buy it now. It may save life.

"Keep Your Shirt On
"Again, the Putnam House will
open here next winter, and tourists
will be invited to come here and en
joy the hospitality of our people and
our incomparable climate. A misty
tired, journey-worn party arrives
from the north, a drink of liquor of
some kind is asked for, the hotel
clerk blandly informs them, "There's
nothing doing; this is a drv
town!" They pretty soon pack thei
bag and baggage and go to St. Au
gusttne or. some other point where
the people are not so abstemious and
dollar foolish. This will not be the
only party that will do eo in a season
either, 'then how much of n bene
fit to the town will the open Putnam
tiouse Dee '
The above is a small section from
an article which appeared as a com
munication in our esteemed contem
porary last week from the pen of "A
Palatka Tax Payer," and who is the
same Individual who addressed that
paper the week previous as "West
Putnamite."
The writer is evidently an excita
ble sort 'o cuss whose duplex resi
dence exemplifies that theory of ex
istence best defined as "here tomor
row and gone today."
But he should not allow hideep
concern for the thirsty traveler to
lead him into error regarding the
management of the Putnam House.
That big hostelry, which will be
opened to the public on December
lBtif next, will not have a bar room
annex, and neither will it serve li
quors in any form.
Our authority?
Mr. W. A. Merryday of the firm
of Merryday Bros., owners of the
property, who said :
'You may say for us that so long
as the Putnam House remains our
property, no liquor will be sold on
the premises.
Game Went to Miami.
The game of base hall at the Ball
Park last Tuesday between the
Miami and Palatka teams attracted
a large crowd of spectators, and the
first four innings furnished lovers of
the game full value for their money.
Neither side scored.
Then Palatka broke through care
lessness. With the visitors at bat
and two men on bases a hit was
made to left field. H. Collins guard
ed this field and was reclining on the
grass at the time. He failed to
stop the ball, and the two men on
bases scored. From then on Palatka
failed to measure up to Its full abili
ty, and the game continued to in
crease Miami's -lead, resulting in
their final victory by a score of U to
2. D. G. Sanford acted as umpire to
the satisfhc tion of all.
Hud not carelessness been domi
nant in the home team the story
might have been different.. The
clubs appeared to be about evenly
matched in weight, age and buse
ball ability.

Obituary.
The penalty of youth is old age.
The end of mortal life is death.
Helen Bythewood Fearnside has
gone from among us. She has passed
on life's hlglfway but few of its mile--stones,
yet being weary for a mo
ment, sue lias stopped Dy the wav
side and has fallen into that dreain
less sleep that "kisses down her eye
lids still."
We who have known her' best and
have shared in her friendship the
enjoyment of- her sunny disposition,
feel most sensibly And, keenly the
break of one link Interchain which
has bound so many to -her, but we
are consoled by the reflecMon'that it
will yet be united to be brokeu no
more.
If a life which makes others hnp
pier who have known its influences:
if the sunshine and' brightness it has
shed; if the courage of a loyal heart
find favor in the sight of the Great
Inscrutable then Burejy will He
gather under His protection the
spirit of this lovely girl.
"Po up and on, thy day wll done.
Thy morning promise well rulfiill'd
Arise to triumphs yet unknown,
To holier places, God has, willed
Go leave behind thee, alf ;'tlini nmrs

Fishing Law Doesn't Hold
K. D. Sttibbs and Geo Schaff local
fishermen, were before Judge Coxeon
Tuesday for violating the provisions
of tlie new law prohibiting seining
They were represented by Capt. E
Noble Calhoun who made a plea for
their discharge on the ground that
there was no enacting clause to the
law. Judge Coxe held the point
well taken and dismissed the men
Capt. Calhoun will contest the
constitutionality of the law before
Judge Call of Jacksonville on the
ground that it is special legislation
in that it only prohibits seining on
the inland waters of Florida south
of Jacksonville, but permits it on the
St. Johns from Jacksonville to the
ocean, thus giving a monopoly of the
fishing business to Representative
S. H. Mellon of Jacksonville, who
does all his fishing in the waters not
prohibited. Like most fishing laws
passod in Florida for the past many
years, it was probably edited by the
Tallahassee fishing lobby and was
known to be defective in holding
qualities when passed.
A Valuable Find.
H. Merwin has just completed a
series or wells for -the Atlantic
Coast line R. R. at their water tank
in this city. He first bored an ex
ploratory well and at the depth of
about 60 feet found a soft water
bearing sand rock. This water, we
are told, has been analyzed and
proved to be such a pure and good
soft water that the company had
Mr. Merwin put down seven addi
tional wells.
The importance of this strata of
soft water bearing sand rock only 60
feet below the surface of the ground
is one of great importance to the
citizens of Palatka.
It la stated that when the first well
wits put down it was coupled to a
pump and run for several hours
Without lowering the water in the
pipe, showing an abundant supply.
Echoes of a Big Catch.
S tortus of a big catch of sea bass
le day this week are coming from
Heating's pier, Daytona Beach. It
is stated on good authority that 30
big bass were caught from the pier
on tins one day and that as usual
the honors went to Palatkans. Capt.
H. Y. Snow, perhaps one of the most
patient fishermen on the pier, was
ewarded by a catch of seven. Clar
ence Meyer, J. 1). Kingham, Mrs.
Ringham and others from Palatka
also made catches, as also did Mrs.
Borsen of Crescent City. The wind
was from tlie northeast and the day
was ideal. The next few weeks will
be the most favorable time for bass
fishing.
