Who Said II, Anyhow?
Pensacola is so far removed from
this section of the state that 1t seems
strange that its newspapers should

plenty in the. Escambia section to
keep them busy. Miami News.

Long Delayed Returns.
Miami and Dade county have their
long delayed census at last, and the

fifth place in the procession, with only
Jacksonville. Pensacola, Tampa and
Key West ahead of us.-Live Oak

masses by the classes, the republican
PARTY is the mother of all trusts, COM

will support the party that has dur
