day of last week, when some 25 or 30
convicts, white and colored mixed,
were paraded through Lemon street

they may not speak their disgust to
the sheriff, but they have elready
spoken it to The News.

in the distance, but cannot tell wither

we know is that the Postern Serial

The campaign was long drawn out
and wearisome and the retreat as
viewed from this distance is a sad
ending to what might be properly
termed a "hot aromatic campaign."

or rather, breathing spell. His lungs
begin to pump hot air and work for

carry any special dangers. Why,
then, should these moving picture ac-

show this wonderful picture play, fill
ed with some of the most magnificent
scenes ever displayed. The glory of
the picture was its lifehkeness. Had
the weather been auspicious the thea
ter would not have been able to hold
the crowds. This is one of the ex
pensive star pictures that Kalbfield
dishes up to his patrons every little
while and for which he has to pay an
exhorbitant price in real money. From
the patronage given him it looks as
if Palatka appreciated his efforts.

The beginning of a new year is a
good time to put our good resolutions
into practice: The church-going hab
it is needful and helpful to every one.
The churches are the best asset of
any town or community, and all who
desire the best moral conditions for
themselves, their children and their
neighbors should in every way give
their influence toward the upbuilding
and strengthening of the churches.
"One thing have I desired of the Lord,
that will I seek after, that I may
dwell in the house of the Lord all the
days of my life, to behold the beauty
of the Lord and to inquire in his
temple."
Come and worship with us.

The pastor urges every member of

church was well filled, though the
morning was very inclement with
rain, thus attesting to the popular es

are held by the people of this city
where both have grown to maturity.
The bride's wedding gown was a
beautiful crepe de meteor draped with
chiffon and pearl trimmings, and with
a bodice of princess lace, with a veil
falling over the whole. She carried
a boquet of roses. The maid of hon

gowned in yellow messaline chiffon

ried a boquet of white carnations.
Back of this happy wedding is a
romance -of love that has grown and
matured from old school days in the

and found its joyous fulfillment in the
