BIG FLORAL PARADE TO
BE GIVEN MARDI GRAS
THE DAY PRECEDING MARDI
eRAs WILL BE DEVOTED TO
THIS DISPLAY, AND NO STREET
FAIR WILL BE BROUGHT TO
THE CITY.

The Carnival Association. at its
meeting last night. decided TO give an
immense floral parade during the
Mardi Grss festivities, and committees
to arrange for the event are already
at work. and Will make all ar
engagements for the prominent feature
Of this years big show.
While the floral parade will necessi-
tate a large amount of work upon the
part of the Carnival Association, it
will nevertheless prevent the bringing
into Pensacola of any outside attrac-
tons. The association desires 10
give an excellent attraction 10
the visitors who may come to the
city. but in doing so does not care
to bring any street fairs to the city,
which have, in the past, proved OBJ
noxious- ,-
Accordingly. it has been decided to
give big floral parade on the day pre-
ceding the big mystic parade, and pre-
llminary arrangements were entered
into last night for this purpose.
1t is anticipated that the floral
parade will be one of the most enjoy
able features of the. Mardi Gras cele-
bration, which is rapidly approaching,
and there is no doubt but that it will
be one of the features of the coming
celebration.
At the meeting last night all the
committees reported regarding the
work of the coming festivities and the
arrangements that have been made.
The building committee reported that
all of the big and handsome floats had
been finished and all that was neces-
sary was the painting. which is to be
commenced Immediately.

ONLY FIVE STORES LEFT.
The Town of Pinewood Again Swept
BY Destructive Fire.

From the Daily Item January H..
OF the thirteen prosperous stores
that could be seen in Pinewood two
months ago, hut FIVE remain standing
today. The others were consumed in
two destructive fires, one Of which oc-
CURED only a short time ago, and the
other ragged yesterday morning be-
tween the hours Of / and 2 o'clock.
The fire originated in store which
was occupied by MI. A. D. Stack, in
which he was conducting fire sale
sof the goods that were saved from the
last confagration. The building was
the property OF Mrs. L. A. Stack.
From what can be learned from
aPinewood this morning. it is evident
that the building was first robbed and
then set on FIRE to cover up the theft.
The flames spread rapidly to the adj
jacent stables Of Mr.. r. L. Fielder,
which burned with fearful velocity.
Luckily all Of the horse were saved.
The sparks from the burning stables
fell in showers upon the residence oc-
cupied by Mr.. Fielder, and that build
ing was soon consumed. Large tongues
of flames from the residence ignited
the furniture store of Mr.. D. r. Lide,
in which building is the postofice. and
the drug store of DR.. Beckham, being
in such close proximity. was soon a
prey to the hungry flames.
s The little town today presents a
very destitute appearance, but it will
not be long before more and better
stores will take the place of those that
were destroyed.

NicSSrS Skinner and Hegy Repar Our
Printing Press.
From the Daily Item January II.
The Daily Item was printed yester-
day afternoon on our press which was
repaired in the machine shop Of Mr..
Edgar Skinneh, the work being largely
performed by Mr.. H. S. Hegy, who is
a skilled and ingenious machinist. That
the work was we'll done was proven
when the press was started yesterday
afternoon, for it ran as smoothly
as it ever did.
When the accident occurred it was
feared that it would be impossible to
have the repairs made in
the city and that it would be
necessary to send the broken parts to
the factory to have reapirs made.
When Mr.. Skinner examined the
broken parts he expressed willing
ness to undertake the repair Of the
press, and he made good. The repairs
were completed in less time than an
ticipated and it was skilfull and
workmanlike job, for which Messrs.
Skinner and Hegy deserve full credit.
