Photographs.

Have you thought the matter over?
Will you sit for them today?
The picture that you promised
When you decided to go away.
It will tax your time but little,
In this lovely Brandon weather;
Keep your contract and come in
Bring your family all together.
If you want some perfect poseing,
Held to natures perfect line;
If you want first-class finish,
Softer than the dewdrops shine
At Hollensbe's you can get it,
With perfection true and straight,
In the picture tent on Main Street,
The pictures are up-to date.
Tis debt you owe to friendship,
To pay loves silent salary,
This sitting for photo,
In the picture tent on Main Street.
And the quicker one performs it,
In fear of loves soft wrath.
The sooner the worry is over,
The better the photograph.
Don't wait till tomorrow.

Died.

Callie Myrtle. little daughter of Joe
and Mrs. Sue D. Collier; was born
December 80. 1906, and passed from
earth to heaven September ID, 1907.
This dear little one had been sick
for weeks, and no one knows what 1t
suffered during this long illness; and
while it is true that loving father
and mother, and faithful friends and
physician did all in their power to
stay the disease and restore the little
one to health again, our Father in
heaven saw fit to take the darling
babe home to the paradise of God.
She is gone but not forgotten. She is
dead, but the memory of the little
darling will linger with mother and
father forever. The baby smile, the
cooling voice, the cute ways have made
their impressions so indellibly upon
the minds Of loved ones that time
may never be able to efface. oh how
pleasant is the memory of those things.
But dear parents. there is another
thought that fills our hearts with
gladness; and that is the fact that
God has prepared home for the souls
Of our departed loved ones and for
ourselves, and into that home on the
18th Of September God received the
spirit Of your precious babe, and He
will care for her through the ceaseless
ages of eternity. It is my earnest
prayer and sincere desire that you
may so live that after awhile when
yon have completed the journey Of
lite, you may all be gathered one by
one into this home Of the soul, and
there compose an unbroken family to
praise God for ever and ever.
T, H. KING.

Public Works Board
On the Right Trail.

AS far as it went. the meeting of
the Public Works Board last night
was a good one. There is no doubt
that such cabs as constitute about
95 per cent of the Pensacola tcabby"
service would deface any public
square. Whether the authorities can
find any better location for the pub
lie cab stand, is an open question, but
there is no doTbt of either the police
power of the city, or of the eminent
propriety of the exercise of that
power, to the end that if cabs do
stand at the Plaza, they be cabs that
will not be an offense to the eye.
AS TO the stirring up of the sewer
contractor and the manifest intention
to have the city, as far as practicable,
relieved of unsightly shacks on prin-
cipal streets, the board deserves only
praise for the spirit of progress and
civic pride thus manifested. The
board is on the right trail. Let them
follow it, sustained by intelligent pub
lie spirit.

brought up for consideration. The dis
charge of an employe, suspension Of
contract for loading dirty coal"
requests for a half-holiday on pay
day, and scores of other questions
come before the board.
Questions affecting wages have
been rarely brought before the board
for the reason that the Anthracite
Strike Commission, after exhaustive
investigation, settled upon a mini
mum scale of wages, which was re-
newed for three years by the miners
and operators at the expiration, April
1, 1906, of the original arrangement
To put the miners upon a profit
sharing basis, the commission further
awarded that for every advance OF
five cents above $3.50 in the whole
sale selling price per ton of domestic
sizes of coal at tidewater, the wages
of every man about the mines should
be increased one per cent. above the
schedule.
