The columns of The Palatka News
this week arc filled with suggestions
to all who are in a deep study just
now over the problem of what to buy
for Christmas. A look over the ad
vertisements of Palatka's leading
business men is the solution to this
problem. They are all
represented
in this paper. Their stores of course
contain much that could not be enu
merated in a newspaper announce
ment. Dr. E. W. Warren of this city is
now the acting secretary of the State
Board of Medical Examiners, a board
of which he has been a member for
a number of years. Dr. Fernandez,
the regular secretary of the board it
will be remembered was stricken with

the board to take the place of the
stricken physician.

gentleman was in Palatka last Tues
day, but no one could have told from
his bearing that he had been thus
honored. In fact he didn't tell the
News man anything about it. Well,
the honor is a distinguished one and
well deserved, and the News congrat
ulates the wearer in spite of the fart
that we had to borrow the news from
the Times-Union when we ought by
every consideration of right and mor
als to have had it first hand.
