80 vigorous an advocate of their cause
Perhaps Mr. Jonathan C. Greeley
does not want to tell all he knows about

was it worth a pound then, Mr.. greeley

Last Thursday evening Pensacola
suffered from another disastrous fire. The
carriage factory of Messrs. Harvey &

and adjacent buildings, including the

on the factory and stock is $50, 900, with
an insurance of $4,000 The propretors

The other day a venerable and hon
ored gentleman remarked that it would
have been far more to the interest of Mr..
Pope if lie had stated that the killing of
Mr.. Bristow was the great sorrow of his
life, instead of allowing his apologists to
vindicate the act and assail the character
of the slain man, 20 whose worth there
are living witnesses to testify.
We would suggest to the colored
man who expects an Office from Pope to
get his promise in writing" have it
down in black and achite If he expects
it to be fulfilled. 1t may be supposed
that he who event back" on Democrats
will ego back" on Republicans. Tie
him down il you would hold him. It's
the only safe way.

for the death Of Mr.. Charles

The proprietors. He was young man of
much promise, and has many mourners in
. community which he would have benc-
tied by useful citizenship.
+: E. p. Demary, of Bloomfield, Fla,

light years ago, and was of note as
ritter for the press. The readers of the
Zines Union will remember the articles

,al regret that one of such intellectual
ifts and attainments as their author pos
.Ased should have come to an untimely
nd pitiable end.
