Mariana Courier: AS far as we
can observe our people are spending less
and working more this year than in the
past. This is the only way to succeed
Attend to your own business, let every
body else's alone, work more, be courte-
GUS, always save a part of what you
make, don't try to "swell :" too much, pay
as you go and success is inevitable.
Jasper Times: 1t is with feeling of
pride that we look upon the young men of

where that can show better or more
clever set of men, but especially young
men, than Jasper-and we verify believe
there is as little " envy, hatred and NAL
ice" in our community as can be found in
any place of its size. May it ever be
thus.

-AdUaace- Gazette: eff one would
look upon very busy scene one of the
busiest to be witnessed in any port south
of Baltimore-he should take view of
the harbor at Pensacola It is map of
stirring, active life. Scores of steamships,
ships, barks, briggs and schooners are
crowding our wharves, or riding at an
Choir in the bay. Their crews are con-
stantly passing to and fro, some engaged
in the serious duties of their calling, some
skylarking; while the merry but indus
trious relays of our stevedores, aboard
ship, or on timber RATS, are pursuing
their arduous labors of loading, with ever
moving zeal and never tagging energy.
1t is sight good for sore eyes, at this
dull season of the year, to see so much
life and movement progressing"
Pensacola Commercial: We are
glad to see some evidences that the Leon
county farmers are waking up. AS soon
as they get their eyes fully open they
will go to work, divide and sell their
big farms to active and energetic white
immigrants, and thus secure practical
solution of the black belt question. The
trouble with the Southern land owner for
the last 20 years has been his ingrained
belief that negro labor was necessity and
white labor disreputable. Sell off, gentle
