/ One day last week the sidings OF
the +. G. s p. railroad contained
twenty-four car loads of building
material that was badly needed up
town for buildings and out in the
country for tobacco barns. Besides
these cars were nineteen other cars
Headed with all kinds of material for
Quincy. and no place for them to
srand to be unlosded.
| No better evidence need be
brought forward to prove that the
air is full of business than to state
that q town of the size of Quincy re-
ceived forty.three carloads of build
ing material and merchandise in one
dav.
Ga the train we met Judge Turn
bull and Col. Harvey one en- route to
Chicago in the interest Of the Worlds
Fair, the other taking q run" up to
his rural home near Quintell to spend
Sunday with Mrs H., and the little
ones. The former has still hopes
that Florida will yet be properly
represented at the Worlds Fair and
thinks Jefferson county will at no
distant day come to the front As a
tirst-clasS tobacco growing county.

desirable. No place in Florida has
as natural an outlet to South Ameri-
can ports as this. Nearly all denomi-
nations are represented By large aud
costly churches and i, was pleasant

Lands loading and unloading their
valuable cargoes, and from what We

Orleans and Galveston, We are OF
the bel ef that at the present time
their shipments are greater than all
of The above named cities combined.
They claim for their quarantine
station that the cholera now raging
In other lands can never reach Pensa-
cola, so rigid are the rules governing
this station.
In fish and oysters their business is
simply immense, and no city on the
Gulf can compare with them in a
monetary point of view.
We could hear of no sickness
amounting to anything, even if it is
the hot month of August The water
they use agrees with Us happily,
therefore We pronounce it good, very
good. There system of supplying
water must be good in every particu
lar. The government has expended
$3.50, 900 in erecting for these people

Gals that Is q model of neatness.
