With Proper Ceremonies by
Colored People of

1 The colored people of this city
will celebrate today in commemora

place at Mt. Tabor Baptist church on
Reid street, one of the largest church
edifices (if not the largest) in the city.
The program will consist of music,,
addresses and the oration of the day
to be delivered by Rev. D. F. Thomp
son, A. B., pastor of Mt. Tabor
church, said to be one of the most ef
fective speakers among the colored
ministers of Florida.

citizens generally -will assemble at

The Darties havimr this celebration
in hand had secured the services of
James Dean, a colored lawyer ' of
Jacksonville and one of the most
brilliant orators in Florida to deliver
the oration, but he died last week
and Rev. Thompson was selected as
a substitute.
Referring to the dead orator. Hon.
Albert Williamson of Jacksonville, ed
itor of the Floridian and former State
Senator says: '
James Dean is dead, James Dean
was a negro. He was a negro law
yer, and a negro preacher. His life
and conduct exemplified the possibili
ties of education among his race.
We had frequent business dealings
with this man. We believe him to
have been as honorable and upright
in his transactions with others as
he has proven with us.
The word NEUKU is used in this
article advisedly. He was the gen
uine article. He was truly "Jet
Black." But our reference to him as
a negro, rather than a "colored man,"
is made with the profundest respect.
"He who humbleth himself shall be
exalted" said the Savior of Mankind.
We never passed this man on the
most crowded streets when he saw
us, but that his hand went straight
to his hat. Had his skin been white
instead of black, he would have been
a pow. among our own people.
We are truly glad to see that his
own race recognized and appreciated
his abilities and qualifications as a
citizen. Their unprecedented tribute
to James Dean demands the respect
of every ecod man and woman in this
city. He was a Mason of the highest
standing among his race ,and these
people were united in paying "'tribute
to whom tribute is due.
We are sorry to lose him, and we
wish we had more like him.
ond vice presidents,1 respectively.
The election of a secretary is left
to the board of governors. For this
important board W. E. Wattles, W. W.
Tilghman, R. R. Brakeman, T. W. Da
vis and J. H. Millican were named.
And Frank Sands and H. P. Ner
wich were appointed at inspectors of
the election, which is to take place on
the 'third Monday in this month
January 18th. Further nominations
can be made at any time up to four
o'colck, p. m., on the day of election.
The question of having a spread on
the night o the annual election was
left to the entertainment committee.
Mr. Waldrup of the agricultural de
partment of the G. S. & F. R'y will
also be invited to address the board
on this occasion.
The beard considered many impor
tant questions concerning the welfare
pf the nation, such as the payment
of $25,000,000 to Columbia for the
taking of the Panama canal strip;
the National defense; foreign trade
relations, etc., the latter of which
projects contemplates a delegation of
American manufacturer to go o
South America and secure trade for
this country, a thing which now seems
natural in view of the European war
and the necessary withdrawal of all
business intercourse with the nations
involved.
There was only a fair attendance
at the meeting. In fact the meetings
of the board appear to have lost in
interest among the members since the
change in the constitution which re
lieves the members of responsibility
and places the entire workings of the
organization in the hands of the board
of five governors.

HISTORY OF FIRST
BAPTIST CHURCH
As Told by Mrs. Emily F.
, Adams, its Oldest Survi
. ving Member. !
Perhaps the most interesting fea
ture of the dedicatory service at the
First Baptist Church' last Sunday
morning was the reading of an his
torical paper by Mrs. Emily F. Ad
ams, relict of the late Capt. R. J.
Adams, one of the notable pioneer
citizens of the city. Mrs. f Adams'
paper was as follows: ' f
The First Baptist Church was or
ganized in the winter of 1870, in Feb
ruary, I think. The charter mem
bers were: Rev. P. P. Bishop, Mrs.
Bishop, and their daughter, Mamie;
Rev. W. E. Stanton and Mrs. Stan

OF BOARD OF TRADE
Renominated, but to Contest
the Honor with Gen. de
. Montmollin.
At a meeting of the Palatka board
of trade last Monday night the offi
cers for the coming year were nomi
naied President E .M. Earnest, who
has presided over, the affairs of the
board during the past year with dig
nity and the enthusiasm of a real
worker, was renominated to the pres
idency. Mr. Earnest didn't seem to
be anxious for the honor, but accept
ed the nomination with the statement
that if it be the wish of the members
that he should serve, he felt that it
would be in the line of his duty. Gen.
H. M. de Montmollin was also nomi-
nafjv?. He alfan arranted th nomina
tion in the same spirit of willingnesatheir daughter, Nettie; J. M. A. Mili
um er ana Mrs. miner, an 01 Ban Mateo,
Fla.; Dr. S. E. Mays and Mrs. Mays
of Orange Mills, Fla., (I wonder how
many today would come that far in
row -boats to church service) ; Rev.
Charles Jones and his daughter, Lucy;
D. A. Boyd and his daughter, Louise;
A. Ballard, Mrs. Ballard and their
daughters, Mary and Eva; Fred. Bal
lard and Mrs. Ballard; Stephen D.
Hart and Mrs. Mac Davis. .
With the help of the Northern
Board of Missions they bought - the
lot on River Street, where Mr. J. H.
Hickenlooper, now lives. D. A. Boyd
drew the plans and that summer he
and Wm. Severs built the church. If
was ready for use in October, 1870.
That cultured, magnetic minister,
W. E. Stanton was elected pastor; D.
A. Boyd and Myron Strong, deacons;
James M. A. Miller, clerk; Stephen
Hart, treasurer; Louise Boyd, now
Mrs. Tingley, organist. The church
was dedicated by Rev. P. P. Bishop
and Rev. Chas. Jones on the first Sun
day in January, 1871. I pit- in my
letter in April, 1872.
The next pastor was that profound
scholar and author, P. P. Bishop.
Then the Rev. Chas. Jones; then Mr.
Browers of Maine; then Mr. Davis,
1881. These were all strong
Advocates Tree Planting.
County Clerk Henry Hutchinson is
an enthusiastic advocate of tree plant
ing both shade and fruit trees. Mr.
Hutchinson has lived the greater part
of his life in Putnam county and few
men can realize more than does he
the real value which is bound to ac
crue to properties on which carefur
attention to tree planting has been
practiced. His old home at Crescent
City, situated several miles down the
lake from the town proper and known
"Oakwood, is a conspicuous ex
ample to the value of intelligent tree
planting, and with the view to-varie-
ty. When the place was sold, these
trees made it easy to secure a men
price for the property. In a recent
interview with The News Mr. Hutch
inson said: 1
"Money and labor spent on fruit
and shade trees, like bread cast on
the waters, will return again alter
many days. Such investments en
hance farm values and will add in
great measure to the health and hap
piness of the' home. .Persimmons,
Japan plums (loquats), oranges and
other citrus fruits may De piciceq dur
ing the winter; peaches, plums, ap
ricots and berries in the spring, and
figs, guavas, pomgranites,. scupper
nong grapes, bananas, etc., during the
summer and fall. Planting in this
way will give fresh fruit practically
every day in the year.
"The work can be done early in the
morning or on rainy days, and from
these spare moments bring back a
profit of a hundred fold. Make' a
'start by putting in some fig cuttings
during the holiday week or during the
early days of January, and watch
them grow. Of course they mut be
shaded and watered in dry weLJier.
I know of no better way to show my
good will to men during these Christ
mas holidays than to urge our peo
ple interested, in fruit growing,
to plant trees. Plant the treeB now
and with very little assistance time
will do the rest Don't put it ff
Time flies." '
Fine Musical Recital. . -Many
Palatka music lovers fiend-
ed a recital given in the Putnam
House parlors on Wednesday even
ing by Mr. Herbert Clyde Linscott
and Mr. C. Frederick Bonowitz, oper
atic and concert baritones, and mem
bers of the faculty of Brenau Col
lege, Gainesville, Ga.
These gentlemen sang several arias
from grand operas and other numbers
in appropriate costumes and in a man
ner seldom heard in Palatka. They
t ve but recently returned from pro
nounced successes in Europe, where
they appeared in grand opera. The
inclemency of the weather made a
larger audience here next to impossible.
Messrs. Linscott and Bonowitz were
to have appeared' at the Howell on
Tuesday night, but because of delay
ed trains did not arrive until after 10
o'clock, and those who assembled to
hear them were given their money
back. The Putnam House recital was
inadequately advertised.

Florida Leads in New Mileage.
The sixteen southern states built
91T miles of new. railroad tracks in
1914, of which f K.nda leads with ZUS
miles, while Texas, generally first,
comes Second thh) .time with but 123
miles, and North Carolina third ,with
84 miles. The contemplated work
for 1915 is smalltout in this Florida

Capital holds aloof from investing
in railroads, and- the transportation
situation is anything but favorable.
The only relief -for States where it
is. possible, is to improve its water
ways. Florida is peculiarly blessed
in this respect, fnd the duty of the
State is to stand back of the associa
tion recently organized in this city.
Florida is growing, but here as else
where the railroads are not keeping
pace with the increase in commerce.
J. J. Hill, tht ,weil-Known railway
maenate of the Tiorthwest, says it
will take a billion dollars, and that is

On the fiist of May everything top

what was done one season had to be
done over the next. Then came W.
E. Stanton for a second time; W. W.
L. Bowen was elected clerk, and Clara
Merryday, now Mrs. Barstow, organ
ist. The first Sunday school was or
ganized with Deacon P. F. Peek, as

came in 1889, from Tremont Temple,
Boston, that talented J. H. Johnsti-ne,
who came South for a rest and took
our little church. The church im
proved fast under his1 charge. J. R.
Neck and E. J. Padgett were ordain
ed deacons and I was elected church
treasurer. The parsonage was im
proved and painted. Mr. Johnstone
married Ester A. Winters and brought
his bride to live in it. They went to
Boston in July, 1892, and in Novem
ber came J. C. Newman who remain
ed a year, then went to Gainesville.
Mrs. W. J. Zumwalt was organist.
Then came J. E. Oates and his ac
complished wife, who took Charge of
the choir, ond the church prospered
as never before. Mr, Oats had the
church remodeled and' enlarged six
teen feet and then came the big freeze
causing financial stringency, and he
left us with a debt of $500." . The
church was supplied by different ones
until March, 1896, when Mr, Johns
tone came ns pastor for the second
time. J. R. Neck was superintend
ent ot the Sunday school, and Mrs. C.
J. Haves, organist. Mr. Johnstone
died at the parsonage in May 1897.
Then on January 1st, 1898, -came that
consecrated untiring worker, Wm.
Stones, who by hard work cleared the
church of debt. I was elected super
intendent of the Sunday school and
served two years. Katie Bell was -organist
followed by Miss Gerturde
Powell. Then Mr. H. O. Hamm was
elected deacon and Sunday school su
perintendent. Mr. Stones was pas
tor for nine years and added much to
the spirituality of the congreeation.
Then came the zealous James Farmer
who had such a wonderful influence
over -our boys and young men. His
health failed and he left after six
months work. , Then came J. C. Col
lum and things were moving nicely
when the old church was burned on
the afternoon of Easter Sunday 1908.
Mr. Howell generously gave the- use
of his Opera House for. services un
til .the present church was finished.
Mrs. Collum was organist , Then
came the brief terms of Mr. Stanly
and W. C. Foster. Mr. H. O. Hamm
was clerk and treasurer.. Then Wm.
Turnage was chosen treasurer and
Mr. Hamm Sunday school superinten

Then came our own Mr. Cason who
foiinrt tha chnrrh burdened with a
debt of $2,000.00. He nobly put his
shoulders to the wheel and the church
has crown wonderfully in erace and
membership. Four deacons have
been elected. Mr. Cowan and Ma
Harmon were ordained. Mr. Jar-

Sunday school superintendent Mrs.
Munch is organist.
Bv the blessing of our Heavenly
Father, self sacrifice of the member

End in Conviction and L
$entence-r-Remarkable
i y Case.
The trial and conviction of Alfred
V .Hough for. the murder of his wife,
is referred to by the Ocala Banner In
the following language: .
"The trial of Alfred V. Hough for
the murder of his Wife, Rosa Hough,
at Clermont, in LaSe county, June 1,
1912, was in many respects the most
remarkable case that has ever occu
pied a place in our eriminal annals.
"The defendant wm put on trial
four times, each trial lasting from ten
to fourteen days, v ;' ,
"At the different trials several very
nminent lawyers were engaged in the
case and the arraignment of the un
fortunate man wae made with great
eloquence and severity, yet through it
all, he never batted an eye, moved a
muscle nor changed an expression.
"Through the four separate trials
and' narrowing details he sat as rig
idly immovable as one of the ancient
stoics. His conduct jwas simply mar
velous. ; ft
"After the trial ended and a verdict
was rendered against him of 'guilty
of murder in the ffmt degree, with a
recommendation, tc lie mercy of the
court,' which carrieff' with it a sen
tence to life imprisonment, he was
asked by the sheriff how he felt about
it? He made the tsimple response:
Oh, I guess it is all fight!'
; "He fell out with his brother, Sid
ney Hough, DUt : notwithstanding
which he stood by him in his troubles
and nobly did a brother's part and he
excited the sympathy of the court,
the attorneys in the Tase, and all the
spectators.- . ,
''The deed was a great blow to him.
"All the way through the case is a
lamentable one, It was shown by
indisputable evidence that Alfred
Hough was devotedly fond of his wife
and his five children; but in a weak
and unguarded moment he let the de
mon, drink, get the better of him; re
solve as he would, it iad fastened its
coils around him so, tightly that he
could not shake it off, and while un
der its influence, he mt into a fren
zied passion, and whtle thus enraged,
slew the wife of his. bosom and the
mother of his children.
As soon as he renlized the awful
thing he had done hewould have giv
en anything on earth that he possess
ed to have recalled the fatal moment
and the murderous shots. But fate
is merciless. The deed was done and
could not be undone.
"It ; is a pathetically sad temper
ance picture and oagkt to impress it
self indelibly upon viose who heard
the tragic story. A Itj1, should teach a
salutary lesson.
"The court, the jury and the attor
neys, while extremely :sorry for the
unfortunate man and tiis grief strick
en brother, were compelled to uphold
the dignity and majesty of the law;
they feel that the verdict was a right
eous one, that it could not be avoid
ed, and that the lawi has. been vindi
cated and justice satisd."

Rev. J. L. Folsom. Metho
dist Pastor at Hawthorne
Joins Baptists.
The Gainesville Sun of TuCjay con-
ta:n the following account of the
conversion to the Baptist faith and
the baptism of Rev. J. L. Folsom,
late pastor of the Methodist Epis
copal church, south, at Hawthorne:
"The forceful preaching of Rev. J.
J. Cloar, who, because of his resigna
tion to remove to Louisville, Ky., clos
ed his pastorate with the First Bap
tist Church of Gainesville last Sun?
day, has invaded the ranks of the
Honda Conference, M. t,. Church,
South, as a result of which Rev. J.
L. Folsom, who was on the Hawthorn
circuit the past year, preaching to the
Methodist congregations and several
towns and villages in the eastern part
of this county, was baptized by Kev.
Cloar on Sunday evening in the looal
church.
"Rev. Mr. Folsom has, it is under
stood, surrendered his credentials as
Methodist minister, and will hence
forth labor as a Baptist He was as
signed at the recent annual confer
ence of Methodists at Arcadia to the
Oviedo charge for the year 1915, but
conversion to the Baptist fold will
cause him .to take up other work. Rev.
Mr. Folsom was accompanied here
Sunday afternoon by his wife, and
they returned to Hawthorn Monday
morning."

Earnest Co's Big Sale.
As is the custom with this big
store, the Earnest Company has this
week inaugurated its annual January
Clearaway Sale of winter goods at
bargain prices prices that really
speak so loudly for themselves that
it is superfluous to say more than
to refer the reader to the big page
advertisement of the company in this
paper.
The Earnest Company set the dry
goods pace in Palatka several years
ago; and every year has seen several
of these unloading sales at bargains
rarely equalled, and never excelled in
the larger cities of the country. Mr.
Earnest is a modern, progressive bus-,
iness man of the daring kind. He
dares to sacrifice his goods when he
finds he is overstocked. This is one
of those times. He will lose for a
time, but the people will make. The
Earnest Company also makes; it
makes friends, and more of them.
It will pay every householder to
carefully scrutinize the list of bar
gains offered by this company for the
present sale. These are times when
such savings as are here offered
amount really to more than money
earned.

years ago, and our once popular lit
tle Joe is no longer little. He is a
