The Tobacco Crop.

The January number of the United
States Crop Reporter has review of
he tobacco crops grown in this coun-
Try in 1907. This report furnishes
Inuch valuable information relative
to the tobacco business, but that
which will interest the readers of the
PILOT the most is the official
statement of the prices realized in
the different districts together with
the percentage marketed up to De-
cember twentieth.
The New ENGLAND states, New
FORK, Pennsylvania, the Miami Val
ley Ohio, Wisconsin, Georgia and
Florida, are the only districts growing
what is called the cigar type of to-
bacco; all other tobaccos being class
cd as chewing, smoking, snuff and
export types.
Ninety-seven percent of the Geor-
gia and Florida crops have been mar
keted at prices ranging from sixty to
CChOo I'LL UhO SIOWh,
and eighteen to twenty-five cents for
the sun grown tobacco, making a
total average for the crop of forty
three, one half cts, an advance over
the prices obtained for the crop of
1906. This is much higher price
than is obtained for the cigar type of
tobacco of the other districts raising
the same, showing the great value of
this crop to the Florida tobacco
raiser.
Other tobaccos from twelve districts
reporting shows an average received
for the crop of ten one half cts. The
highest being the Pereque of Louis:
ana that brought twenty eight cents,
the lowest that of Maryland and
Eastern Ohio export which brought
65 cents.
This demonstrates the great money
value of the Florida tobacco crop
and warrants our farmers giving
more attention to this fast increasing
product of our soil.

Russ Brothers.

This firm, consisting of G. E., and
G. S. Russ has been located in Mill
vile about two years. They carry
on general merchandise business,
keeping a very full stock, suitable to
the requirements of the place and
surrounding country. Under the
management of G. E. Russ, a very
popular and energetic young man,
this firm has built up large and in
creasing trade. To furnish good
goods at fair prices, and accommodate
their customers, has been the secret
of their success. They are also agents
for the Ed V. Price Tailoring Com
apny of Chicago, a firm too we'll
known to the we'll dressed public to
require 'urther comment.

East Bay Mail.

The East Bay mail was first carried
under contract by Capt Smith. The
next contractor was Charles Ellison,
after which time the Witherill
brothers handled the mail under their
father for two years, as contractor.
Since which time during a period OF
sixteen years David M. and Frank A.
Witherill have been the contractors
direct. The route has been a daily
run from ST Andrews to Wetappo and
return.
When H. G.. Witherill first began
to carry this mail he used a small
steamer for the purpose but the pow
er proved insufficient and was used
only about ten days.
The East Bay mail boat has been a
welcome visitor furnishing the only
regular communication to the citizens

PittSburg.

Lying around the point to the east
ward from Parker is the little hamlet
of about the same age called Pitts
burg named after n. w. Pitts who
located here in 1886. Mr. Pitts has
been some time a resident on the
bay but charmed by the natural sur
rounding country finally concluded
to locate at this point and at an early
day entered into the mercantile busi-
ness in which he has ever since been
engaged.
A post office was established here
in 1893 but discontinued in 1908 owing
to the pre- Y nifty to Parker which
furnishes convenient service for this
section of the county. The first school
was held here in 1899 and church
services were begun the same year.
Pittsburg is surrounded by some OF
the finest farming country on East
Bay, and as soon as the incoming
railroads open up this Bay country
to the outside world there will be a
large influx of immigrants and q
rapid development of this locality.

Germania Hotel.

For some years this hotel had been
run by different parties. In the sum-
mer of 1907, Hans Mass of Pensacola,
an old and popular hotel man took
the management of the property
He at once began improvements
which he is still carrying en-. His
success has been such that he has
been compelled to obtain additional
Accommodations for his guests. which
he has done by securing the boarding
house heretofore in charge of Nh s
Knickmeyer. Under Mr. ~; s3 man
agement the hotel has become very
popular. He makes every effort to
please and accommodate his guests and
invariably succeeds in doing SO. Mr.
Mass is a member of the Travellers
Protective Association, and gives
special attention to travelling men
and their requirements.

Gamer and Williams.

On another page of the PILOT will
Gamer and J. J Williams for Col
lector and assessor respectively of
Washington County. Both of these
gentlemen are too we'll and favorably
known to require extensive comment
upon the part of the PILOT, and the
fact, that as yet they have no COM
petitors in the field shows that they
are acceptable candidates for reelec-
tion to the positions which they now
hold and which they have so satisfac-
torily filled in the past.
Panama City pilot., 1908-01-23
Miscellaneous.

There is much of the early history of
the East Bay which the PILOT has learn
ed through it's researches that will
be a subject of future articles. This
includes the official reports of action
taken toward connecting this Bay
with the Apalachicola river for
TRANSPORTATION services, which was a
prominent subject in Congress in
1925. Some of the facts relative to
those who located on the shores OF
this Bay between the years 1900 and
1865, together with the official records
of operations of the Confederate and
Union forces here during the war.
At an early day there was a small
settlement made at Bunkers Cove
where a store was maintained for
some time. There also used to be
operated at Cedar Pc int salt works
where fine grade of salt WAS manu-
featured.
The PILOT has to thank the many
contributors who have furnished
data for this East Bay article foI
their kindly assistance. That all was
not used that was furnished b. them
is solely owing to lack of space and
time to prepar tehe same.

Te1ator w. j. Bryan.

Some of the newspapers through
y I the state and a few dog-in-the-
n anger politicians are making pusI-
luminous attacks upon Senator Nal
'ory's successor. Though Senator
Brvan was not the PILOTS first choice
f,r the position yet it emphatically
icsents the fire in the rear 20 which
he is being subjected.
The only offence charged against
him is his youth. His enemies do not
.lppear to have any of the attributes
ut youth, but display to an alarming
extent the senility of spiteful de-
vrepit old age.

Of these enterprises will be found in
another column Much Improvement
is going on throughout Millville. Five
new dwellings have just been COM
pleted this winter and some twenty
others are in process of construc-
ton.
The transportation facilities are
such that travel and freighting are
carried on with as great ease as could
be possible where there is not rail-
road communication with outside
points. The steamship Tarpon, Capt
Barrow, calls there twice a week on
it's way to and from Pensacola, offer
ing comfortable passenger and ample
| freight service to the travelling and
business public. The East Bay mail
boat line makes two stops daily at
this point; and in addition to these
must be mentioned the local service
from here to different landings or
the bay carried on by the boat Dewey
and Eva, launches and sail boats.
With the long prospective cut o.
this mill and the fine farming lane
adjoining, this place promises pros
perity and increase in size for many
years to come.

THE moment I set eyes on this man

Bates. He was deeply moved and
