Contract to be Let This Week
-Probably to Bogart.
Four weeks aeo the Palatka News
exclusively published the fact that
the new Merryday block would be
erected at the corner of Second and
Lemon streets this fall.
The following week the editor was
called down" several times for tmb-
lishing something that was not well
authenticated. In fact it was stated
to us that the idea had been abandon
ed. On Monday Messrs. W. A. and L.
H. Merryday were here from Sea
breeze with the plans and stated to
The News that work on the new build
ing would begin immediately; that it
was possible that the contract would
be let that night. The Merrydays
returned to Seabreeze on the 11 p. m.
train that night, but Mr. W. A. Mer
rvdav was expecting to return today.
The contract will be let before his re.
turn home.
We will put up a two story burn
ing covering the entire lot," said Mr.
Merryday, "just as soon as we can
get to work on it. The building will .
have a front exactly like the one now i
occupied by C. E. Rowton. Of course
if later it is thought nest to aaa a
story, it will be so constructed as to
permit such addition.

a corner ot the big hall Prof. Chat
taway's orchestra discoursed sweet
music. Ladies, beautifully gowned,
a dozen or more of them, stood at
the head of the grand stairs and wel
comed all comers and directed them
to the receiving line.
At the opposite end of the hall
stood Archdeacon and Mrs. Wyliie,
flanked by Mr. and Mrs. Henrv
Hutchinson Sr., Mr. J. H. Haugh
ton and Mrs. S. J. Kennerly, who
assisted the popular rector and his
just as popular wife in receiving.
Mr. Hutchinson and Mr. Haughton
represented the vestry of St. Marks
while Mesdames Hutchinson and
Kennerly represented St. " Marks
Guild ithe Marthas who serve the
Master in the modern church
After paying their respects to Rev.
and Mrs. Wyliie and the other church
representatives the people strolled
about the great hall in a social time.
Now this was not an Episcopal
church function; it wasn't bounded
by any particular church; it was just
a big hearted gathering of the Chris
tian people of Palatka bent on tell
ing the Archdeacon and his good wife
that they were genuinely sorry that
there must be a parting. They didn't
want to hold them back, for that
would be rank selfishness: Mr. Wyl
iie has been called to a larger field
of usefulness, and they with one ac
cord believed him worthy of it, -and
then some. They were not sorry for
the Wyllies, they were sorry for Pa
latka. And they told this to the
Wyllies in such a feeling manner that
they will be forced to believe to their
last days.
Rev. Wm. Wyliie came to St.
Marks just eight years ago. He has
labored faithfully and well, and Mrs.
Wyliie has been his faithful helper.
St. Marks has grown in membership
and influence. When Mr. Wyliie
came there was a church debt, tt
has raised more money along the
eight years of his rectorship and he is
leaving the parish in good working
shape and without a dollar of debt.
This minister has been more than
a rector: he has been a leader in
every good work for the upbuilding of
the city. His charity has been of the
kind that "vaunteth not itselt, is not
puffed up, doth not behave itself un
seemly, seeketh not her own, is not
easily' provoked, thinketh no evil; r?-
ioiceth not in minuity, nur, rerun-em
in the truth." He has been such a
cheerful Christian; a dvnamo that
;.; ;t cheerfulness everywhere into nil
miipr nf the. town. Palatka is be'-
ter for the eight years of Mr. and
Mrs. Wvllie.

(MM LEVY
Of Twenty Mills Passes
Council Tuesday Night.
The council committee that has the
study of city finances has made report
t.liat the citv is eoinsr to need over
$42,000 for its actual expenses during
the ensuing fiscal year. The commit
tee therefore made recommendation
that the following levy be made: Gen
eral revenue. 12 mills: naving, 1 mill;
sinking fund, 4 mills; fire, 3 mills
a total of 20 mills, and this on a val
uation of $2,058,183, will leave a de
ficit of over $1,000. But an ordinance
submitted by Alderman Leo Jacobson
fixing the rate of millage as above
was passed and Mayor Kennerly
signed it.
"The committee has gone into the
matter thoroughly," said Mayor Ken
nerly, "and know how much money
will be needed; you can't run a city
without money, though as a matter
of fact our taxes are high both in tne
citv, county and state."
The ordinance will be found in an
other column of this issue.

Convention to be held in this
citv Nov. 20-22, extend an invitation
to all who can sing to attend a re

A chorus of 50 or more voices is de

The following members comprise
the musical committee: T. K. Bar
