season of sorrow in the Metcalf home.
The family withdrew from all social

the harder to bear. Now comes the
Murder at Gainesville.
The mutilated body of F. C. Avery,
a well-known horseman, was found
buried in a stable on the Fair Grounds
at Gainesville on Tuesday, where it
had laid since just after the recent
Alachua County Fair.
His murderer has confessed. He

where they won a notable victory a

But what is more important to
"Bill" is to have Lambright like his I

The Earl of Rosebery, who is some
punk in Britain, has been making
sport of our Henry says of his peace
party: "It is headed by a gentleman
named Ford, who makes, I think, per
ambulators." His ludship would
think they were perambulators if he
could see 'em some day about high
noon speeding through the streets of
any of our American cities.
Senator Ben Tillman of South Car
olina has taken his pitchfork for use
in the present congress. He is going
to use it in pitching our anti-admin
istration Heresies, tie is also going
to poke its prongs into some of those
Big Iidians like Roosevelt, whom he
calls a "veritable Bull of Cashan, who
poses as a god of war and clamors
for a very large standing army and
great reserve."
Old Yuan Shi Kai has "reluctantly"
accepted the throne of China. The
telegram telling of his reluctance
sounds very much like the average
Florida candidates announcment,
when he enters the race "at the earn
est solicitation of numerous friends."
Politics is the same everywhere,
though over in China Yuan is going
to postpone his coronation until he
thinks the danger of losing his head is
passed.
The Tampa Sunday Tribune was
some paper of 80 pages, all made in
Tampa. It was a pre-Christmas edi
tion and was filled with timely matter
of a high class, there being contribu
tions from many of Florida's leading
public men, including one from Gov.
Park Trammell on "Florida First."
The news section was filled with all
that is best and brightest in modern
journalism. The Tribune is without
question the greatest daily in all
Florida excelling in each and every
department.
The Ocala Star says that "the pros
perity of Putnam county under prohi.
bition was an object leson that the
Marion county 'drys' did not fail to
use as an argument." There is a
difference certainly between the'Ta
latka of the open saloon days and the
Palatka of these days of the "blind
tiger" outlaw; and it is all in favor
of the outlaw, who is with us always
in some guise, whether it be booze
selling or petty larcenist; prohibition
is certainly preferable, even if it docs
develop the criminal side of an occa
sional man.

The December number of The New
Florida was issued this week from the
offices of the Florida Farms & Homes,
Inc., of this city, and like its proceed
ing numbers of the past sevend years
is filled with interesting articles con
cerning farm progress in Marion and
Tutnam counties, where the lands of
the company are located. New Flor
ida is one of the most potent forces
for development ever sent out from
this city. It goes largely to men who
have their eyes on Florida with a de
sire to make this State home. When
they read of the successes of men al
ready here and see the beautiful illus
trations of those successes made from
actual photographs, it is expected
that these will help them to a wise de
cision to come where the sun shines
and life is worth living 365 days in the
year. President Murphy of the Flori
da Farms & Homes, Inc., has been
extremely fortunate in securing as ed.
itor of The New Florida Mr. M. P.
Walsh, a gentleman of wide experi
ence in newspaper work, long mana
ging editor of the Augusta (Ga.)
Chronicle, and a journalist who
knows how to get real development
facts to set before his readers and
place them in an attractive style.

Christmas Shoppers.
In a four-column communication to
the people of the city and county, pub
lished in this paper the Earnest Com
pany, department store, calls atten
tion to many desirable bargains all
suitable as Christmas gifts to mem
bers of the household. It is only by
looking these suggestions over that
the averageican t-think-what-to-ouy
Christmas shopper can find what he
wants. Left to himself or herself,
they would rursh off at the last mo
ment and buy the first thing they saw
without regard to its suitableness.
That's one reason whv it will pay
anv one to read the Earnest advertisement.
Someone with n eye to the fitness
of things has suggested the Hon. J.
N. Whitner of Sanford as thhe "very
man for Commissioner of Agricul
ture." Now let the nominations
close; Whitner is the very man for
the 'place. Put the Palatka News
down in the Whitner column. We
once said it would take a strong mnn
to beat McRae; not a giant, mind you
but just an ordinary strong man;
Whitner is a giant when it comes to
agricultural ability and a veritable
race horse in politics. Bring him out;
he's a winner.

Col. Folsom Visits Palatka.
Col. Moses Folsom, previous to last
April the efficient secretary of the Pa
latka board of trade, was a visitor in
Pabtka for several days during the
pnst week. Since leaving Palatka
Col. Folsom has been most of the
time in Chicago, where he hns been
doing special work for the Chicaeo
Record-Herald, a work in which he
h-s made a record in several parts of
the United States.
But the winter was on and Col.
Folsom's thoughts naturally turned
to memories of sunny Florida. Afte
two or three blizzirds had struck
him, he said "I will arKe and go to
Florida, where there is brend enough
nnd to spare, together with pie and
cake and bull beef and veal and hog
meat to snare, and the sun is used
for wirmth instead of the overcoat."
Result: He took first train for Flor
ida. Some town in this state is going to
secure his services for promotion
work. And the town that gets him
will have a man who is familiar with
the subject: so much so that he will
hit the bulls-eye with his first sug
gestion. Col. Folsom left on Wednesday night
for Fort Mvers. Before leaving he
stated to The New that he expects
to end his days in Florida: that it was
the best State in the entire Union,
climate, soil and opportunities for ad
vancement considered.
Kitchen Efficiency.
Every lady in Palatka is interested
in how to make her housework as
easy as possible and she has a right
to be.
Men now a days use typewriters,
adding machines and the latest im
proved machinery and tools in their
work, and a lady is entitled to the
same consideration. J. H. Yelverton,
Jr., has secured the services of W. L.
Akins for this week to show you iust hoso
how easy kitchen work can be made. I
Mr. Akins has spent the past five
years in helping ladies solve their
kitchen problems, and he will . take
great pleasure in helping you solve
yours. So come down this week and
hear what he has to say about kitchen
economy and efficiency.
Mr. lelverton has secured a few
more of the famous HOOSIER Kitch
en Cabinets to be sold on the well
known Hoosier Club Plan, and during
this week, you may have one of these
new Hoosiers delivered to your home
for only one dollar the balance to be
paid at one dollar per week, which
quickly pays for it.
On those easy terms any lady can
own one, no matter how small her in
come, as she can pay for it out of her
allowance money, and the savings on
her grocery bill, and she therefore
will hardly miss it.
The ladies who have bought Hoos
ier Cabinets on these terms say that
it was so easy that they hardly knew
now tney paid lor it, but as every
other progressive housewife in Palat
ka is reading this, it is very neces
sary that you come down early before
this small allotment is all gone.
To the men, we would say that they
could select no more appropriate or
acceptable Christmas gift for wife or
mother than a Hoosier Kitchen Cabi
net. It will be the means of shorten
ing the hours of kitchen work, and
save miles of steps, and further will
prove most economical, as it will les
sen waste and damage to groceries,
and therefore; while providing com
fort and convenience to the housewife,
will also save its cost in time.
Mrs. M. A. Evans, of Washington,
D. C. arrived last week and will make
her home with Mrs. E. A. Brush this
winter. This is Mrs. Evans first visit
here after an absence of four years.
The Sunshine Society met Tuesday
afternoon with Mrs. E. A. Leonard,
and was largely attended. The Dixie
Jiignway was the subject of a general
discussion, introduced by Miss Luella
Johnson. William Gilmore Simms,
"The Cooper of the South" was the
author for the afternoon, and articles
of much interest concerning the life of
this Southern writer were contribut
ed. Dainty refreshments of sand
wiches, cakes and tea were served by
the hostess.
Mrs. J. Hurst and Mrs. O'Queen of
Odom, Ga., are guests this week of
Mr. and Mrs. S. Hurst.
