The Pensacola Commercial thinks the
MORNING News takes SO much matter
from its local columns that the Commerce.
IS entitled to a puff. Well, the MORNING
NEWS takes pleasure in saying that the
local page of the Commercial is an excel
lent one, and there is seldom day that it is
devoid of something worth clipping
People who want to keep up with the local
news of Pensacola and Florida should read
both the Commercial and the MORNING
NEWS
A terrible storm was the daily experience
of MaypOrts guests last week. Many de-
clare the raging of the elements to have
been worse than has been known for years
in that section. The discomforts Of driving
mists penetrating the thickest garments alb
sOiutely forbade the frazier sex going from
their homes The tides were SO high and so
turbulent that some of the breakwat RS
constructed to protect the cottages w re
undermined or torn down. Capt. Wallace
says the that weather was the wo s. lie Ia
experienced in ten years. Despits the rac-
ing elements, all Mayport's inhabitants are
in exceptionally good health, and the ladies
appear cheerful amid all their discomforts
Tallahassee TdLtdhdSSedn: A little bit Of
a red-faced man, wearing striped trousers
and large red moustache, dropped i'll on
Tallahassee last week with an advertising
scheme and lot of fancy colored papers
He captured several of our business men on
his advertising scheme, collected the monet,
hired one of Kemper's best livery team,
took up one of the bellies of
Smoky Hollow and drove around
town like an Italian count until
time came for him to deliver the advertis-
ing mediums. He then skipped out by the
light of the moon, leaving his board bill and
other little accounts unpaid, and nary
darAed ad for our business men. He gave
his name as Aderhold, and said that his
father was a big hotel keeper of Kissimmee
AT some places he presented the card o;
Aderhold g. Edwards, painters paper
hangers and ornamental decorators"
