Talking Of Pensacola.
Pensacola is now about through
with the thrOes-'thrOws" of con-
confetti. that is of Mardi Gras. for the
time being, and can now call a halt
and once more settle down to bust
ness. This years carnival is said to
have been highly successful. The
night parade-the ball, and the
crowds-are all described as great; "
and, though some good people con-
tend that such festivities don't pay,
the Pensacola Mardi Gras must have
turned a good deal of money loose in
the good old town in this year Of Our
Lord.
The King of the Carnival over there
this year was a man wen known in
Jacksonville, and, for that matter,
throughout the entire peninsUla-the
Hon. John E. Stillman, collector Of
the port. The Hon. JOhn-whO, by the
way, has made himself one Of the
most popular men in Pensacola, and
who when he isn't enjoying himself
or attending to your Uncle SamueIs
business. gets busy by dealing in real
estate-the Hon. John-tO start it all
over again-has a whole raft of
friends in Jacksonville, where he was
formerly in business. Nowadays, he
is in clover, which is certainly as it
should be. The Queen of the Carni-
val on this particular occasion was
Miss Daisye HyeT, one Of the ac1nowl-
edged bellies of the Deep Water City
of the Gulf.
Talking of Pensacola, it has often
been said by close observers that the
prosperity of a town may often be
guaged by the character and condition
of its newspapers. If this be true,
Pensacola must certainly be rated A
No. 1 among Florida's galaxy Of
cities; for it has in the shape of The
Pensacola journal, not only one of the
best papers in the state, but one Of
the most influential. Frank L. Mayes
the editor and publisher of The Jour
nal, is not only a first-rate all-round
man, but a good business
man as well-a combination, by the
way which is not so common as It'll
might be. Mr. Mayes has recently
added to his varied interests we'll
equipped job Office. which is, however,
entirely distinct from the admirable
he conducts with so much
ability That The Journal is in a.
highly prosperous condition is shown |
by the fact that last Saturday Mr.. /
Mayes signed a contract for a new
building, which is to be put up for
him on the corner Of De Luna and
Intendencia streets by the Fisher
estate. The Journals new home is to
be two stories high, with a stone
front, and call the modern con- /
The front of the lower
story will be devoted to the business
office which will be respondent in
luartsred oak and plate glass. In
he rear will be the composing, ster-
and engine rooms, while the
upper story will be occupied by the
force and so on. The build
ng is to be ready for use by August
on which date The journal will add

Surprised Them AL
Pensacola has done herself proud
again. Her Mardi Gras surpassed all
previous festivities. MARIANNE was

anne story about the missing child of
