The Question of Veracity.
The Pensacola Journal with time
ly good sense recalls all of us to
the fact that the people of Florida
are not interested in any issue of u
purely personal character between
Governor Broward and some of the
state papers growing out of the
Everglades controversy. The Jour.
nal says:
The question of veracity be-
tween the governor and the news
papers should now be dropped and
the drainage question discussed upon
its merits. Live Oak Democrat.
Advertisement for Pensacola.
The annual report of the Pensacola
Chamber Of Commerce has been is
sued in. convenient size for the
pocket 1t contains facts as to the
Importance of the present trade am
industry, and the undeveIoped or
partly developer resources Of the
Deep Water City which will cause it
to be kept in the pockets of MANI
who desire to have it handy for ref
crence. The strenuous insiStenco
upon the need of advertising the city
is something which should, and we
believe will, be hesded and this re-
port contains answers to about all the
queries that advertising would draw
cut, besides presenting an illumin-
ating exhibit of the growth of Pen

PensacoIa's High Credit.
Pensacola is justly proud of the
demonstration of that city's high
credit in the recent bond sale. Her
100000 issue of four and one-halfI
per cent of thirty-year-bondS sold att
a premium of S6,156 which, in con-
nection with the interest rate, gives
Pensacola the distinction of having
secured the best price which has
ever been paid for a Florida munich
pal bond" The Journal claims. In
vestors know that Pensacola has al
great future before her and are wiz
ling to give a good premium on her

Mount VesuVius Lava.
Lava from Mount Vesuvius appears,
in the streets of Pensacola! 1T may
seem strange to the average reader
that this product of the earth's inter-
nal fires should be found so many
thousands Of miles away from the
fiery furnace across the ocean, which
mas been lately spreading terror in
the country within its vicinity. Yet
the lava arrived without causing any
alarm in the peaceful streets of our
eW'f-side neighbor. Twelve hundred
blocks of it were brought to Pensaco-
Ia in an Italian snip some years ago,
were re0dily sold to private parties
and 20 the city and now form part of
the paven ents on certain. streets and
aCd to the decoration of some private
grcunds.-Jacksonv Times Union
'Jonah" Wrighton.
The Pensacola delegates say that
Brother Thomas Wrighton is as big a
Jonah as ever swallowed a whale;
that they will not travel with him
again, for on the way to Palatka the
train jumped the track, and on the
way back was delayed by broken rail
