Hustler Hogeboom.
Our genial friend, Al Hodgeboom.
formerly travelling representative OF
The Pensacola Journal, lifted up the
light of his genial countenance on us
last week. Mr.. Hodgeboom informs
us that he has resigned from The
Journal to go into the concrete manu-
featuring business at Panama City.
1 The Journals loss Is a great gain to
Panama City, for Al Hodgeboom is a
hustler from away back. Yet his
hustling is of that quiet, unobtsrusive,
yet persistent character that wins
friends along life's pathway. We pre-

The scenes at Pensacola during the
recent storm will never be forgotten
by those who witnessed them" said
Captain Norris, who is In charge OF
the Salvation Army corps of that city
and who is visiting in this city. "At
times the wind was blowing at the
rate of 100 miles per hour and it
looked as if all,,of the water was GO
ing to be blown. out of the sea. The
gale would take up large vessels ana
blow them out on the dry land. One
very large ship came in a few yards
of my house and was finally left higa
and dry over a mile from the port.
The loss Of property will amount TO
over five million dollars. The people
of the city are rallying nobly and the
situation is being met with grear
bravery. While every citizen of that
town has suffered more or less by the
storm they are all working together
to relieve the want aud suffering of
the others and upbuild Pensacola.
