THE EARNEST CO
PALATKA, FLORIDA
Hon. S. J.- Hilburn motored over
to Daytona Beach for a week end vis
it and was a guest at the Seaside
Inn.
Mrs. J. E. Lucas has returned from
a pleasant stay at Daytona Beach.
Miss Nellie Lucas is the guest of her
aunt, Mrs. W. A. Merryday, at Sea
breeze. Rev. and Mrs. William Wyllie re
turned Wednesday night from New
York, whither Mrs. Wyllie and the
children have been spending the sum
mer and Mr. Wyllie the month of
August.
Mr. and Mrs. Howard Rowton have
returned from their honeymoon trip
down the east coast, and their friends
who are many made their arrival in
teresting in order to make up for any
seeming, lack of interest in their de
parture. Big reception on Monday
night. Ice cream, cake and conversa
tion, followed by a parade. Every
body happy.
W. P. Bogart, the contractor, has
been engaged to remodel the tower
of the First Baptist cliureh. The
tower pointed heavenwai fl. alright,
but Mr. ' Bogart was called in to set
it and make sure against any possi
ble wabbling. The fact that Mr. Bo
tart is a Methodist didn't seem to
make any difference with the trus
tees of Pastor Cason's church.
i
j Dr. Joseph Y. Porter, State Health
officer, spent Tuesday in the city and
was much of his time in the company
of Dr. E. W. Warren and President
V. J. Fearnside. of the State Board of
Health. Dr. Torter is one of the most
famous of American Health officers,
due largely to his successful handling
of yellow fever and other emdemk's.
He is an autocrat in office, but as ex
pressed by the people of Florida, "he
gets thar'just the same."
L. C. Stephens who for several
years past has been catering to the
household wants of the people from a
small store in the west end, has had
his grocery enlarged to meet the de
mands of his growing business. Mr.
Stephens is one of the most energetic
grocers in all Florida; if he hasn't
what vou want he gets it ouick. But
h- eeiierallv has every thing that a
well-regulated family desires and
knowing this the people are trading
with him more and more. Since Mr.
Stephens quit fooling with politics lie
Ins made the wants of his customers
his first care: hence the need of his
enlarged quarters.
There was a called meeting of the
board of countv commmissioners on
Monday. The meeting had been call
ed to 'raise the assessment on the
banks, which have a eood deal of
money, and it was thought ouite prop
er to 'make 'em couch up a little more
toward county exnenses. R. J. Pat
terson and John Neal, members of tha
State Tax Commission were present;
so were Gus Willard of the Putnam
National. Richard-is-himself-aeain
ciams f the East Florida Savings &
Trut Co., J. H. Millican and H. M.
Fearnsido of the State Bank of Palat
ka and Marvin H. PWton of the Bank
of Ci-pscent City. The matter was
(one into and resulted in an admis
sion bv the State Tax Commissioners
th?t rutnnm countv banks were al
verHv assessed, all that was really
p,.o?arv in order to keep 'em from
Tttin"- anp-ry. Their assessments
were therefore not raised.

dent of the Orange Mills district, was

five years and was well liked ny me
people thereabouts. On the mornintr

There is hone for the bald-headed.
John Mallen, the well-known caterer
of soft drinks at the foot of Lemon
street and whose place of business is
a popular stopping place for men. Is
very proud ot tne new growm oi nair

it (the hair) about at his time of life,
Mr. Mallem said: "Eets great discov.
My friend from Pomona, hees dog get
