feasts. while most of mankind are in
the habit of eating pork, with the ex-
ception of the Jews, who avoid the
habit for religious reasons.
OF course habits are good and bad
Some good habits are better than
others and some bad habits are worse
than others. It is claimed that the
coffee habit is detrimental but il is
not nearly so bad as the tobacco habit
The tobacco habit is not SO bad as
the whiskey habit, though the whiskey
habit is much cleaner. The whiSkey
habit is not so bad as the morphine
habit, the morphine habit is not so
bad as the opium habit, and so on
through the whole category of bad
habits that make up the curses of
mankind and fill the world with crime
and misery where peace and happi-
ness should rule supreme.
The world is very much larger than
one realizes. Tie vast extent of the
human family is not fully comprehen-

A large part of the credit should go
to Mr.. Neptune Buckner, expert ad-
writer, who has furnished copy" for a
large number of Pensacola's progress
sive firms for the past two years.
Mr.. Buckner. up to about one year
ago. was resident of this city, but
owing to ill-health he was compelled
to locate at his former home, Ashe-
vile, n. c. The firms for whom he
was writing ads regretted to lose him,
so much so, in fact, that most all Of
his clients stuck to him and they are
clinging to him yet, to say nothing of
the new ones he has added to his list
from time to time.
His work is high above the ordinary.
His snappy style Of ad writing has
been generally admired and these ads
have brought in many dollars to the
firms for whom they were written. Mr..
Buckner's ads as they appear in The
Journal are frequently reproduced in
their original form by some of the
leading advertising periodicals, and in
all cases the coments that follow are
very fiattering to him.
Mr.. Buckner is well educated and is
a fluent writer. His style is convinc-
ing and impressive. and with it all he
is never verbose.
The best compliment. he says. that
he has ever received, lies in the fact
that he is still writing the ads of the
