A Bdcket for Bryan.
While spending the day in Palatka
last spring, Hon. Wm. J. Bryan, the
great Commoner, was given a ride over
ine town ana shown the sights by
County Clerk Hutchinson. Among the
places visited was the factory of the
Florida Wooden Ware Co., where Mr.
Bryan seemed specially interested in
the old fashioned wooden buckets, or
pails, being turned out at that place.
Picking up one of these brass bound
buckets Mr. Bryan remarked that it re
minded him of a similar bucket at his
boyhood home and which he said used
to stand on the back porch. It seemed
to call up memories that were pleasing.
On learning that Mr. Bryan was on
his way to Miami to spend the winter
in his new home, it occurred to Mr.
Hutchinson to send him a reminder of
his visit to Palatka, and he thereupon
secured from the bucket factory one of
their choicest red cedar pails which he
expressed to Mr. Bryan on Tuesday
wilh his compliments.
THROUGHOUT THE STATE.
What must have been the largest
catch of fish made on the river this
season was made when Captain Frank
Houston and his crew ot Eau Gal
lie brought to the fish house of J. W.
Rossetter 6,180 pounds of sailors'
choice. These fish are small, averag
ing about five fish to two pounds, but
bringing 2 cents per pound at the
present time. So great was the num
ber of fish that they could not be
picked out of the net before they
would spoil, but to prevent this the
nets were Iced down in the boats. It
took a number of men from four In
the afternoon to two o'clock in the
morning to get the nets clear.

Augustine Record of Wednesday even
ing lens oi ine doings ot f alatka t'ylh
lans in the ancient city the previous
evening:
Pythians took St. Augustine by storm
last night when between fifty and sixty
members of St, John's lodge from Pa
latka arrived to attend the district meet
ing held under the auspices of Mizpah
lodge, Knights of Pythias, of this city.
The Palatka delegation arrived by
automobile early in the evening and
brought a brass band along with them.
They came down King street, circled
the plaza and brought up on Cathedral
Place with rousing music by the band.
They were met by members of Mizpah
lodge and about 8 o'clock the district
meeting was opened in the Masonic
hall. Leading district officers were
present.
I he rank of page was conferred upon
class after which a social session
was neld. Uratorv rcipned snnrenie
ana spienaia addresses were delivered
Col. a. J. Hilburn, of Palalka, Luke
1'arrott of the same city and other nola
bles of the district sooke. Several lead
ing members of Mizpah lodge were also
heard.
Refreshments were served and the
visitors were given a taste of real St
Augustine hospitality. Clam chowder
started it off and then came about every
ining imaginable that is good to cat
And it all wound up finally wilh ice
cream and cigars.
i ne meeting was one of the mosl
successful ever held in the district and
Mizpah lodge did herself proud. Over
143 rytnians crowded the big hall.
The majority of the Palalkans left for
home in their automobiles after (he
meeting ended.
CLEAN UP WEEK IS
BEING OBSERVED
Quite Generally Throughout
Palatka.
The cleaninsr-uo week inaugurated hv
the Palatka Woman's Club and which
later took on official flavor by reason of
special proclamation by Mayor War
ren, is being quite generally observed
in Palatka this week. As a result of the
agitation made by the club through the
press and by means of circulars sent
through the school children into all the
homes of the city, a very general clean
ng up ot private premises has resulted.
Mrs. Geo. fc.. Gav. president of the
Woman's Club and a lady who has been
most active in the agitation for a clean
city, was seen by the News yesterday
aiternoon and asked regarding results.
"l nave lust come in." said she.
'from a drive about the city and I have
been agreeably surprised at the general
merest taken in the work bv the oeo
pie. Back yards have had a cleaning,
and Irees and shrubbery trimmed. Yes
terday a committee of the Woman's Club
met with a committee of the Citv Couu
cu ana Plans lor permanent work were
discussed. The councilmeo assured us
that after January more attention would
be paid to the collection of garbage, the
cleaning of streets, etc. By that time
the tax money will be coming in and
the council will be in position to in
augurate a more thorough system.
ine one disappointing feature has
been the lack of attention to the may
or's proclamation by the owners of va
cant lots.
"Tomorrow the Woman's Club com
mittee and the Mayor will make an in
spection of the work, and we hope to
be able to report even greater results
than now. The city has promised to
send out and gather up all the rubbish
immediately.
BAD TASTE
IN THE MOUTH,
Dizziness, and a genetal "no
account" feeling is a sure sign
of a torpid liver. The remedy
is Simmons Red Z Liver Reg
ulator (The Powder Form).
It exercises its greatest re
storative effect in the liver, yet
it is effective in the stomach
and bowels. Indigestion, con
stipation and their attendant
evils disappear before its pow
erful," regulating influence.
Try its wholesome purifying
properties. It will give you a
good appetite', sound digestion
and make you feel well.

What's Matter with "Our Bob?"
From Tamna comes the statement
that among the candidates for Collector

crats to do is to unite on Col. Davis.
His candidacy is of interest to all the
people of Florida. He is and will be as
long as breath flows from his body, the
idol of Florida's democracy. Let his
candidacy therefore be taken up by the
people and newspapers of the state and
pushed to a successful end the place.

I he doors of the Palatka Kusines
College will In? open to the people of
this section Monday morning, Decem
ber 2nd, under the management of Pro
fessor G. W. Land, Willi a corps of
competent Instructors. Professor Land,
the head of the school, has held every
position from office stenographer to
court, reporter, is the fastest calculator
in the United Slates and writer of seven
syslcmsof shorthand.
The Palalka Business College will
maintain two dcartmcnls. In the

ting will be taught, while in the short

reporting being a specially.
The location of the school has not
been fully determined upon, but it will
likely be established at the corner of N.
Fourth and Lemon Streets; it will be
furnished completely wilh ihe latest
models of typewriters and be modern in
every respect. Location, .furnishings
and faculty, however, will not make a
success of this institution. The people
of Palalka must do their pari, and sup
port the school in every possible way,
pupils and publicity w ill be needed and
our people, we feel sure, will not be re

1 rotessor Land comes to Palatka well
recommended, in fact, he is very favor
ably known already to some of our citi

warm welcome and their cordial sup

Any one desiring information about

otherwise, by applying to Mr. W. B.

Pretty New Houses.
Up in the North End some vcrv oretlv
houses are in course of construction
which when completed will add much
to this already valuable and exclusive
section of the city. Two of these
houses are being built by L. A. Smith
on Fourth street and two more directly
back of the Smith cottages on Fifth
street. The latter are being erected by
C. E. Rowton. All of Ibe houses are to-
be for rental, if not already spoken for.
1 ne houses are ot verv Drettv desiern
and will be modern in every particular.
I roperty values are rapidly increasing in
this section of the cily largely because
of the really limited number of desira
ble building lots on the market.
Palatka needs new bouses more than
any other one thing just now. Many
families have been turned away from
here because of inability to secure a
proper house. There is money in the
renting of houses and Palatka has plenty
of idle capital. Won't some one get
busy on this proposition?
Pupils' First Recital.
The first pupils recital of the Palatka

Out-standing ears on an adult can

Ask your family physician to direct
