friends here once more.

Mrs. Roberts, of Hastings, died on
Monday. The Interment was in the
family lot in the cometetry here Tues-
day afternoon.

The First National Bank, of St.
S Agustine, has an announcement in
this issue that should Interest many
of our readers. Look it up.

They say Jacksonville was surely
wide open to the Turpentine opera*
tors in convention assembled there
this week. Some of the visitors had
S to buy hats several sizes larger than
those they wore from home.

A. E. Meyer & Co., of New York,
eo. B. Long & Co., of Buffalo, and
S M. George & Co., of Chicago, are
new commission house advertise-
e mnts on page two, to which we call
the attention of fruit growers.

From the New Smyrna section,
including Hawk's Park, Olencoe
and Turnbull Hammock, it is esti-
mated they will ship 26,400 boxes of
|- fruit. About 17,000 of this has
.I been pledged to the Florida Citrus
Exchange.

Frank Bugbee and party from
SHastings drove over Sunday- after.
noon lu their machine and gave this
oBoe a pleasant little call. Mr.
Bugbee reports the roads as fair most
of the way with one or two stretches
of deep sand.

S / Mrs. J. D. Gray, Mrs. C. A. Bailey,
T Master Clifford Bailey, Mrs. M. W.
,' Crosby, Mrs. 8. W. Baker, Mrs. S. J.

The City Council and Trus-
S e of Palatk., are conjointly In-
Vatmlmng various paving materials
H wkn to more good streets for the
01ty. About $8,OO, including
prepeorl-bolders' sas memnte,

The Thing Desired.
The N. Y. Produce News under
date Oct. 6th says: "-The daily aver-
age for the week was 15 to 18 ears of
grapes from the Uermantown sec-
tion. Some 1,800,000 41b baskets
needed .for the crop. The seasons
distribution has covered a wide ter-
ritory so that there have been no
complaints of overstocked markets
due to heavy shipments to any one
point."
This Is exactly what Florida
orange growers are now trying to ac-
complish through their orgainxzation,
the Florida Citrus Exchange, and
there is no question but what the
wider and more equal distribution
will have a mighty good effect on
the Citrus markets of the country,
prove a benefit to growers and all
dealers as well.

A meeting of the Crescent City
Citrus Growers' Association on Sat-
urday was addressed by General Man-'
ager M. E. Gillett, who exhaustively
discussed all phases of the work ac-
complished to date, as well as the
local situation In crescent City and
vicinity. Growers were present
from Pomona and other nearby dis-
tricts and many questions were sub-
mitted, all of which the speaker
answered to the complete satisfac-
tion of the deeply interested au-
dience. The people present repre-
sented 160,000 boxes cf fruit, and tfhe
largest portion of it will be handled
through the Exchange, many grow-
ers having decided to contract their
crops after Mr. Oillett's address.
Conditions are peculiar in this sec-
tion, and many features are met
which do not obtain elsewhere. It
was decided to form a sub-exchange
in Crescent City, composed of local
association and *'single house" asso-
ciations in Pomona. Lake Como and
four or five large groves having good
packing facilities and brands widely
known in northern markets. It is
expected that fully 100.000 boxes will
be handled through this sub-ex-
change. Much of fruit will be ship-
pod by water to Jacksonville, and
there loaded In oars for distribution.
There are several very fine groves in
the Crescent City district, and much
of the prop brings high prices in the
Bsato e York and Philadelphia
mark

James C. V. Balley and F. A. Bai-

from Chicago. They left Chicago as
soon as possible after receiving the
wire telling them of their fathers

F. A. Bailey, Jr., left for Chicago
Thursday afternoon.

Tax Assessor BHllard's books are
now in the hands of the Collector.

figures: Total acres, 46.8,421, with a
value of $8,006,29; total value,
school (sub) $2,178.64; total polls,
1,03; total to be collected, $69.378.08(.
This is between $75,(xx) and $10,00()0
in excess o'f last year's assessed val-
uation.


The steamer "Magic City" is run-
ning from Miami to Jacksonville,
leaving Miami on Tuesdays and
Jacksonville on Saturdays. Some
sof their published rates are as fol-
lows: First-class 65 ;. second-class
50c; third-class 40c; fourth-class

The school trustees put in eighteen
new desks at the public school
Thursday. The enrollment is now
almost 60 and new ones corning in.
Five youngsters drive in now fromin
Yelvington. The next thing needed
on the school property is a good
horse stable. There are fjtom 8 to 10
horses usually tied to tree on the
lot, and if the people whose children
ride or drive in will get together,
some day a neat stable could be put
up and the animals taken care of out
of the rain and cold weather.

the popular feeling on this subject
leaves It clear that the lessons of
the war with America and the loss

heart. .,
Garbage dumps, acres of festering
rottenness, inside the city limits and
under the city's control offend every

college and that the faculty has no

President Wilson's rejoinder was that
recent Princeton graduates would
laugh at anybody Who might advise
him to insist on hard work by the
students in that institution; they
must work, of course, ho said, but
what they do should be "work'traase

The sun has this year been blamed
for other evils than sunburns. There
has been an impression that the ac-
tinic rays have been more powerful
than usual and that they have caused
much eye trouble, the sufferers being
principally persons who wear glasses.
"There has been no increase in the
sale of our colored glasses." said an
optician in town, asked about the
matter, "in spite of the talk about
the actinic rays this summer. There
has not been a summer in recent
years without some story about the
actinic rays and their bad cense-
quences.
"At one time people were wearing
yellow glasses to counteract* their

amethyst glasses, and at another

Passing of Costly Receiverships.
In the liquidagpn of the Bingham-

superintendent of banks, has again
demonstrated that the big fees form.
orly paid to receivers for failed barks
were unjustified.
Tb band has paid an initial dCvi-
den of 50 per cent. to the depositCre.
Thi disbursement comes barely Wve
months after the doors were close ed.
The amount paid out was over $1,500,-
000.
Under the old system of court re-
celverships, such rapid settlement of
claims would have been unheard of.
So would such a thing as an expense
to the depositors, including the re-
ceiver's salary of $10,626.11, whhih
wan less than 1 per cent. upon Ihe
total amount disbursed.

reply that her daughter, who had re-
cently married, had returnedwlth hei

Simpson's i



Stand.


BT JAMBS WILLIAM JACKRON. 74



"Stand right up to him, son! Don't
let him scare you!" Th-' mate of the
river steamer Wave spoke with laugh-
ing encouragement. A score of me.-
chanics repairing th.' river bulkhead
- kept him company in watching the
noontime fun.
One of the crew of the Wave,
young, robust and full of mischief,
stood with a grin on his face and a
firm grip on a folded horse-blanke't.
Facing him, with an equally de.ter.
mined hold on the blanket, was an-
other young fellow with fiery red hair.
The red-haired Simpson had been
engaged only two days before as
teamster on Thorn's stone-wagon. liHe
was mild-mannered, blue-eyed and in-
offensive. As a stranger to the river
front he had been quietly enjoying
the noon hour while Pcterson, the
fun-loving young deck-hand, wander-
ed restlessly about in search of an
inspiration.
Simpson's big horses, with bridles
off and heads b i weIre munching
their oats. On the seat of the wagon
behind lay the new blank t. it
caught the boatman's eye.
"Vll take that down and se( if t'1
will fit my hunk, Iteddy," le nonchal-
antly announced.
As Petersonr pul'.ld (oiwn the blan-
ket and started toward the Wave',
Simpson Interposed hii- tall figure'
The wrestlingg" match which sudden-
ly developed was hailed with,cheers.
The young deck-hand was no match
for the lithe Simpson, who for the
sake of amusement allowed his an-
tagonist some advantage, but turned
the tide of battle as h-, pleased.
The loud laughter and the prospect
of defeat seemed to have a bad ef-
feet on Peterson. iSimpson saw that
he was growing angry, and quickly
broke the boatman's hold.
Peterson advanced belligerently,
and 6impson retreated. The next mo-
aent the teamster was In full flight.
Pursued by the sailor, he sprinted
*way from the river, the blanket
streaming out behind.
Dodging In and out of the piled
frelght, limpson turned up the steep
street which led directly away from
the Wave. At the head of the block
be circled a huge boiler waiting to
be inltalled in an adjacent factory,
Mid ame back on the run.
The chase continued along the bulk-
Thead. view of the amused watch-
'ns. Simpson heard th' boatman,

?;t iUttedif threats as he ran close

plank of the little craft; and as Simp-
son recognized Peterson in blue shirt
and rakish cap boarding the vessel,
a humorous notion popped into his
hend.
"I'd like to give that boiler a little
pitush while Peterson Is In line," tho
toimister musod. "He'd be so ever-
lustingly seared when that big rack-
ety thing came loping after him that
he'd run right out from under his
hat."
The tugging laborers had cleared
at way now. Chuckling In the en.
joyment of bis fancy, Simpson lifted
t he reins, spoke to his horses, and


I


frantic warnings.
Instinctively Simpson turned his
eyes toward the Wave. Tho opera-
tion of repairlpg and repaving a sne-
tion of the wharf had caused a con-
gestion of freight In her vicinity. Th'e

steamer lay, an It were, at the end
of a street built high on both sides
with boxes and bales-a sreet down
which, in a onment more, would
come bounding that terrible mass of
charging steel. And the two hundred
feet were thronged with workmen
and passengers.
la imagination Simpson saw the


twO temprary defeat and Mlmaking
an enemy. Dropping the blanket
suddenly, he sped on. Peterson tum-.
bled headlong over the unexpected
obstacle; and as he picked himself
up, a peremptory whistle blew for
the resumption of work.
"You're not much of a fighter,
bly, are you?" the mat, teasingly
quizzed, as Simpson passed on th'-
way to his horses. "The fellow that
runs away," he added, sententlpusly
and significantly, "lives to fight an-
other day. You've got a dangerous
gift In those long legs of yours; but
cne gond, square, up-and-down stand
will be necessary to give you a status
along the front here."
BHe spoke in a friemlly tone. 8Imp-
son looked at him without, however,
venturtn,*, a defense ,Ie was out of
breath, nnyway.
Tied upll next to the Wav'e, which
lay across the fcot of the street, was
a barge-load of cobblestones. Simp-
son set to work loa'ling as soon as
he could back up his team. A cou-
pI.* of the crew of thq Wave loitered
at the stern of the steamer, within
speaking distance.
"Hle hasn't. much spunk, Toni," one
of them audibly commented, with a
jerk of his thumb toward Simpson.
"I gu' ss all the fire escapes out of
the top of his head."
"Don't be hard en him, mate," the
other gently chided, with mock ilym-
pathy. "Hlie's ashamed of running
away. Don't you see h" Is blushing
to the roots of his hair?"
Fi'illon smiled, and continued to
toss in the (,obblestnes with an ease
that indicated ability to stand up for
himself when necessary.
With a heapel load, Simpson
mounted the wagon. When he was
(le' r of the littering freight, he turn-
-d uip the street leading from the
Wave. The weight of his load and the
steepness taxed his splendid horses.
Their flanks flattened out and their
legs stiffened with the strain as the
load in(hed Its way upward.
Snme of the hillside streets w.re
.so ) harpil graded that life- line.1f we.e'
ie'ces r' illn winter' for the us-e of
l restrian:. Siimp.on was obliged to
rest his horses frequently In the
climb. At such times, after block-
ing the ,heels. he stroked the soft
noses of his helpers and encouraged
them.
The worst place in the short pull
was at the factory gates, where the
new holler eight feet high atp% thirty
in length, blpcked half the street. In
the narrow, furrowed lane, past that
and a pile of building materials,
Simpison was obliged to haul his load
Straight. lut he observed now, with
unich satiAfst tionl, thlit a crew of
laborers was getting ready to shift the
boiler through thel mill yard into n
new engine-honse.
The load of cobbles was deliver, d
a couple of blocks beyond the next
collier.
.'Now, bo s," Siilpson said to the
horses, "we'll go back for another
lhad." Hlie always kept Prince and
Sag'r informed in regard to his
n0ovemeints
On the return journey lie was de.
laye'd a few minutes, where the chat-
tering laborers were making ready
with planksi to turn the boiler end-
wise tlihriough the gates.
Simpson coilid see stra i'liht down
the few hundred intervening \ardh
to the 'Wave nestling in tbhe' freight
plies at the foot of the street. A
clear passage showed between the


left tha'workame to the dfilcult task
of moving the big boiler.
PaMsengers for the afternoon trip
of the Wave were going aboard as
Simpson began throwing in another
load of cobblestones. The steamer
was due to leave In an hour, and
rattling trucks of freight alt ratedd
with groups of paj.sengers in pnim sng
up the plank.
"Watch out for Peterson there,
Reddy!" a voice suddenly shouted.
The warning sounded so genuine.
that, somewhat startled, Simpson
turned quickly about. A laugh of ap-
preciation for the success of the ruse
greeted him. One of the crew was
passing by on an errand.
"'Frnid of our man, aren't you?"
the de( hand queried, with teasing
good nature. "To-morrow noon you've
-ot to stand up to him and take that
blanket bac k, or else we are going
to chip in and hire you to get a job
semewhoro else. We're pretty sensi-
tive about the kind of people we have
around."
A stentorian hall summoned the
loquacious sailor to the Wave. Simp-
son continued ;o heave' In cobble-
stones thoughtfully. Hle fully Intend-
ed to get his blanket back; but if
possible he wanted to do it without
shaming the redoubtable l'eterson,
who had a reputation to maintain in
wrestling.
Another load was on before start-
ing-time for the Wave. In a Mtrag-
;ling line passengers were still wend-
ing their wa\ toward the steamer, and
hl freight trucks rattled more quilick-
-ly and merrily on and off the plank.
As was his custom, Simpson mount-
ed the seat to thread his way diagon-

corner where h lieou'tiel he t grade

Springing erect on top of the obh-
blestone load, Simpson snatched up
his blacksnake whip. lie had never
yet struck Prince or Sager with that
thing. But now, with the reins firm-
ly grasped In one strong hand, he
swung it savagely.
It whistled through the air and
struck hard on the flanks of the
horses. There was a snort of pain
from the astonished creatures. The
| boiler clanged once more with tho
noise of a thousand fire-bells, and the
terrified horses gave a mighty leap-
forward.
Instantly dropping the whip, Simp-
son caught the reins in both hands.
With eyNs flashing, muscles corded
and his under lip bitten nearly
through, he poised himself like a
charioteer behind his galloping
horses.

water to stritk the car tracks which

ellss of an amusing case be onse
tried In that State. He was then a


student in the office of his uncle, a
Col. Martin, who ftured in local poll*
tics.
The main figure in the trial was
a lazy darky named Dick Button, ar-
rested at the Instance of his wife, who
alleged that he contributed nothing
to her support and refused to work.
During the examination of Sutton
the young lawyer asked:
"Dick, have you any fixed in-
come?"
button was puzzled by the term.
Counsel explained that the expression
meant a certainty, money paid not
for odd jobs. but for steady employ-
ment; in other words, a componsa.
tion at stated Intervals on which
one could absolutely rely.
Upon the conclusion of counsel's
remarks the darky's face brightened.
"I think I has a fixed Income, sah."
4ald he.
"And what Is this fixed Income?"
was the next question.
"Well, sah," answered Dick with a
broad grin in the direction of Col.
Martin, "do Colonel dere allers gives
me to' dollars and a sack o' flour on
'lectlon day!"-Iouisville Courier.

Baneficient Vesuvius.
Volcanoes and sharks are the lat-
est drafted allies of "the man with
the hoe." As a result of extended In-
vestigations Into the results of the
1906 eruption of Vesuvius, the Italtan
'Experiment Station reports that the
full of volcanic material caused a
viotable Increase in the fertility of
the soil. It hurt crops then In the
ground by reason of its crushing
weight and the excess of injurious
salts and acids. But these harmful
elements were all highly soluble and
have already volatilized or washed
away. 'while the remaining ejecta
have added vast quantities of needed
potash, phosphoric acid, and nitrogen.
Par away Tasmania, whose shores
are Infested with sharks in apparent-
ly uncountable numbers, has ceased
to dread the monsters and Is now
getting rich by us'ng them as fer-
tili?.er in Its immense apple orchards.

Columbia's New Professor.

lhunge of Gottiugen. Germany. Prof.
Runge was born at Bremen in 1853
studied at Munich and Berlin, recel-r.
ing the degree of doctor of philosophy
ut the latter institution in 1880. Be-
fore his appointment at Gottingen, he
was professor In the Technical High
School at Hanover. Ho has an ex-
ocellent com'npd of English. Dr.
Runge's first original work was In
pure mathematics, and he early ob-
tained a high position among German
mathematicians. Of later years his
interest has been more largely in ap-
plied mathemtatics. He has, for In-
stance, made important investiga-
tions in spectrum analysis and In as-
tronomical and nautical researches.
His most recent specialty, and one
upon which he will give a course at
Columbla, is the study of graphical
methods In physical and technological

The Heartless QGirl.
A few days ago a young man at
Des Moines, Iowa, made one long,
lingering, lovelorn plea as the "last
call" to his lady love to change her
mind and say "Yes." He told her
that If she didn't marry him he'd get
a rope and hang himself right in
front of her home.
"Oh, please don't do that, Joe,
dear," she said, with much feeling;
"you know father doesn't want you
hanging around here."
So he didn't hang around then, or
any more.-New York Times.

Johns River, and 90 fet above it
The highest point la Frioda eat of
the 6L Johns river, which is one-half
mile wfOe at this point.
Five miles from Palatka. our count
ucat, (cfty of. 5.000), 28 miles from


It. Augustine and about 76 miles
from Jacksonville.
The terminus of a branch of the
Florida East Coast Railway. The de-
pot being .three-quarters of a nule
from the river wharf.
Advantages and Attractions.
San Mateo has good shelled roads
and miles of hard sidewalks. Beautl-
ful wateroaks line both sides to
streets, and meet overhead In many

Two churches, public and private
schools, telegraph, telephone, express,
money order postoftice, three mails
daily, meat market, two general
stores, who take orders and deliver
"oods at your door, weekly paper.
'tie place is Incorporated. The
.,lato and county taxes are about 20
mills on about one-third valuation.
Good hunting and fishing, deer, tuar
key, ducks and quail, black bass and
other Florida fresh water fish.
Good boarding house, Byrlyn Place,
open winters; rates eight to ten dol-
lrs per week; $2.00 day.
Six thousand people went through
the 8an Mateo Fruit Company's grove
htore liut season.
One df the best advantages am
Mateo enjoys is transportation; beag
on both river and rail is an advantage
hat feow Florida point onjoy. A7 re-
cent reajoe, for Instance, railroads
and terminals at Jacksonville wer*
more than congested and fruit ship.
ped from points down the central
part of the state was, in some eases,
three weeks getting to Jacksonville,
em route to northern markets, and
did not bring enough to pay freight.
while San Mateo shippers, at same
time, would ship from here one day
and have fruit go out of Jacksonville
on the Clyde ship the next. This lit-
'fe matter that season alone was


worth thousands of dollars to the San
Mateo growers and the homeseeker
will do well to bear in mind trans-
portation and chouep rates that come
with competition, in selecting a Flor-
Ida locaiou.
The population is bout U50, who
same mostly from the northern states.
As a class they are men of means,
progressive and sociable. Have a bet-
ter class of hoaues than can be found
la any place In the south of its size.
The buildings kept painted and
grounds mn good order.
Healthfulness.
On account of Its high altitude.
here Is no healthier r.pot in Florida
for all the year round or for the win
*r visitors. For those who come to
Florida on account of health, many
Ind this higher altitude, dry and
baluy air is better than the lower,
more harab air found in salt water
**tlona.
Business.
The principle t business is orange
growing. dome 400 acres in grover
Bro here, and as this proves profit
blo, tihyre 1 not munch attention paid
qthor cr.is, although there are soam
'eetables grown for Ahlpmeat aniA


Even it a man should slart out to
o to heaven he'd went to drop in ti,
ie other place on the way for a
banos to change his mind.

When Woman's Sphere
Begins To Roll
By Mary Heaton Vorme.
TJHI~ most important thing Is how much an organliatlon of WOa*

of auch powerful opponents as political Infitm-nce and well-
organized bu1 IneHs IntirRts. 'Th:se women were Inexpert-
ented. and public opinion w~'I against thelin, a people felt they
were leaving woman'ss lhcr,.". Hut they were In the right,
they were In earnest, they were tpersistent, and they won.
In th early days of this country, when each hoiui', prod.iced practleahly
all the things that were (atten lby itse ne:mInt., ianild a great part of those
wh!ch were worn, woman's plalp was literally In the home. When the food
supply, the water supply, the supply of nilik, was a matter each Individual
must attend to on his own premises, no one qustloind that It was a
"woman's place" to take an Interest In the condition of the well, or to look
after the milk pans. All these things have been taken out of the home:
municipal water supply replaces the old oaken bucket, and people no longer
eat, as beef, the cows they hrad known and lovod from childhood. Yet every
detail concerning the cleanliness of the food supply Is as much a worAn's
business as it ever was.
W\Ve are b riniing to renll, t tLat it doesn't do much good to clean out

If the meat Cnoms from n fllthlb hutch1er Hhojp. P'rom the moment that the

OLD TIME BALLOON ASCENSION.


-- i
Great Event In France Celebrated
Much as In These Days.
On August 27. 1788, Prof. Charles
and the brothers Robert, mechanl.
clans, were assoclate4ln the oonstruc-
tion of a balloon of hydrogen of nine
meters in diameter, built to raise a
car and one or two passengers. It
was for some time exposed -and sus-
pended in Salle des Tuillerles In
front of the chateau for three months.
The ascent was mixed for Novem-
ber 28, but an explosion caused the
ascent to be delayed until December
1, 1788-a red letter day nla the his-
tory of Paris. At midday the sub-
scribers, who paid four louts each
for their seats, took their places in
the enclosure around the fountain.
The common people at three framse
each occupied seats la the other part
of the garden.
Times have changed, but customs
are much the same today. The event
was celebrated as In our time. -a*
cravings of various kinds celebrated
the great day, some very clever and
others inane. -rom these pletures,
or rather from the legend below them,.
we learn that 600,000 persons wit-
nes d this epoch mala event. The
roofs of the neighboring houses and
the wTndowe were crowded ad the
Point Royal and the Place Louis ZV,

Vegetable Compound4
In almost every community you will find women who
have bern restored to health by Lydia E. Pinkham's V*
etable Compound. Almost every woman you mee fs
either been benefited by it, or knows some one who hms.
In the Pinkham Laboratory at Lynn, Mass., are files con-
taining over one million one hundred thousand letters from
women seeking health, in which many openly state over
their own signatures that they have regained their health br
taking Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound.
Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound has saved
many women from surgical operations.
Lydia Pinkham's Vegetable.Compound is made ex-
clusively from roots and herbs, and is perfectly harmless.
The reason why it is so successful is because it contains
ingredients which act directly upon the female organism,
restoring it to healthy and normal activity.
Thousands of unsolicited and genuine testimonials such
as the following prove the efficiency of this simple remedy.
Minneapols, Mlnn, -" I wasa great a eferr from f

"I want this letter made public to show the beneitp to be
derived from Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compoud."-
