A deal which may mean much to
Pensacola was closed yesterday,
whereby 7. A Jennings and w, w,
Warn, two well known and prominent
citizens, acquired the Mallory resi-.
dence and site at the corner of Pala-
fox and Wright streets, the consider.
alton being $4,000. The negotia-
tons between the Messrs. Mallory and
the purchasers were conducted so
quietly that it was not until yester-
day, after the papers had been signed,
that it became known, and then only
among very few.
A hotel, modern and up-to-date in
every respect Is to occupy the site.
At least this was the statement made
yesterday afternoon by certain par
ties, and when Mr.. Jennings was seen
seen regarding the matter he admitted
the purchase of the property by Mr..
Warn and himself, and also said that
1t had been secured with the general
understanding that it would be the
site of modern hotel building.
Further than this Mr.. Jennings did
not care to say. The plans, he said,
regarding the hotel were In their en-
bryo state, and ne could give no IN
formation further than to say that the
property had been secured for hotel
purposes.
An Excellent Site.
The site secured is considered an
excellent one for hotel, especially
one which is modern and up-to-date
In its appointments. The lot has a
frontage of 1872 feet on Palafox street
and also fronts on Wright street the
same number of feet. For hotel no
better site could be secured. and that
the gentlemen mean business is shown
by the fact that they have already In
vested $4,000, and it is believed by
those who know the parties that I'm.
less something very unexpected oc'
ours Pensacola will at last be in a po-
sition to boast of hotel that will be
a credit to the city and to this sec
ton of the state.

To organize glee club from among

that was started yesterday by a num-
Der of the younger men within that
body. They are those who desire such
a club for their own musical training
and entertainment, and much enthus-
iasm has been manifested over the
proposition.
Roy Raley, chairman of the gym
nasium committee, is active in favor
of a Commercial association glee
club, and believes that much good
will result from such an organization.
should the idea meet with sufficient
encouragement from the musicians of
the city meeting will be called soon
to form an organization.
Among the things open to a glee
club would be a part upon the local
talent entertainment to be given in
January. Also, there are many other
occasions upon which such a club
would find its services appreciated. 1t
is suggested a glee club performance
be given at the theater some time
duriwng the coming spring after the
organization has had time for train
ing.
Those back of the movement for the
glee club declare that a chorus of Is
to 90 voices can readily be secured
here and with proper practice, some
good music can be furnished.

ADVERTISING KLAMATH.
Publicity Agent Sent East From the

As an evidence of the increased ac-
tivity in development in klamath
county, following the construction of
the government irrigation project
there, the town of klamath Falls will
send a publicity agent to the east to
advertise the resources of that vicini-
ty. A correspondent from klamath
Falls says:
j. B. Mason, a member of the cham
ber expects to leave Monday for
Kansas, Missouri and Oklahoma to
meet personally and inform people
who desire information with a view
to settling here. Mr.. Mason has had
years of experience in business deal
ings with people i'm that section, and
already many have invested here, and
now immediate settlers are desired to
occupy the vacant portion of the 12,-
900 acres, for which water will be
ready for delivery for next years
crops.
With such a record as has been
made here the past season, so BUSH
els Of oats and 12O of barley per acre
without water, and eight tons of al
falfa per acre with water, the latter
now selling at $12 per ton and going
higher, and with oats and barley at
$1.50 per hundred, it ought not to be
difficult to demonstrate to farmers
the advisability of locating here.

alton facilities will not permit the
sending out of a few fat honkers to
lovers of game. George Nowlin

What Makes the Chico One Of the
MIdest and Most Enjoyable Cigars
on the Markef

How many people. even among the
most confirmed smokers, know what
constitutes the difference between a
strong and mild cigar? 1t is simple
enough The strong product is SO
made that it burns badly, while a mild
cigar is one that burns swell--like the
wadsworth Bros Chicos
These cigars" says Mr.. Morgan
the local agent, "are made from long
Havana filler, carefully selected, with
the best hand Workmanship. and they
burn freely with firm. perfect ash
the result is mild, pleasant and en-
joyable smoke"
Six months ago the Chico was not
known in Marshalltown, but today it
is the most popular cigar in the city,
and is the favorite altho it sells for
but 5 cents. Smokers who have here
tofore wanted only ten or fifteen cent
goods should step into Morgans drug
store and get few Chicos. We know
you will say, as do other fastidious
smokers. that it Is the miidest and
most enjoyable cigar in the market.
