WEEDS BEING
GUT At LAST
Street Department Gets 4
Move On, Hoping to Save
Jack Frost the Job.

1t was Maud Muller who raked The
meadow sweet with hay, so the legend
goes, but Maud was a selling platter
compared with the Pensacola street
department wnen it comes TO that rak-
ing stunt. Also Maud was never
used to the kind of hay we have in
Pensacola. She and the people of her
period never had to worry about
weeds, for there wasn't any fool or
dinance to keep the hay from grow
ing in her meadow.
Nor was there an obdurate and
absolute board of public works to in
sist upon Maud performing meadow
raking stunts whether she felt like
il or not. And, SO far az we know,
there was no contention about
whether Maud or the board of health
lad Jurisdiction over that famous
bunch of bluegrass.
If Maud could only see us now,
We're the get-there boy with bells
on. and no mistake. They can't talk
about us not being progressive and
up-to-date. Not if we are awake when
the gabfest is going on. No sir, We
are the candy, with red stripes an
inch wide all around. And our street
department is the best west of the
Escambia river.
We did think the city was going in
TO tae alfalfa business, but we now
hold another opinion. We know now
that we are going to buy hay for the
fire and police department instead
of pasturing the horses upon the
streets.
We are showing our faith by our
works. The man with the hoe is
now an established fact in Pensacola,
and the indian summer Zephyrs are
laden with the smell of newnsown
weeds, and the fence-corners no long
er furnish to the wearied tramp a
means of Sustcnance.
The field mouse and the festive
hare have been given notice of evic-
ton, and those mosquitoes surviving
the recent cold snap are folding their
tents for stealthy getaway. Their
places shall know them no more for
ever. for the weed-chopper is abroad
in the land, and the landscape *
altered so much from one day to the
next that some of our Oldest inhabi-
tants have been known to ask the Way
home.
Verify, civic pride is great thing.
and so is progreEsiyeness, but our
street department has borh chained
to the post when it comes TO deliver
ing the goods.

Regarding w. H.
Hutchinson.

County Solicitor Loftin has con
cluded an Investigation. which he
made upon reports made to him by
the Board of County Commissioners
to whom he has made known his de.
cision regarding an allegation that
w. H. Hutchinson. game warden oil
the county, killed three quail on Sept
IL, about six miles from the city.
Mr.. Loftin, after eXaminging wit
nesses notified the board that he
would bring no charge against Mr.
Hutchinson.
Andrew Price and his father, c. 3.
Price, were the two witnesses ~ho
swore before Solicitor Loftin that
they saw Mr.. Hutchinson and another
man, kill three quail on the above
date. They at first thought the party
with Mr.. Hutchinson was +. r. Pou.
They described the color of the dog
with which the parties were hunt
ing.
The hrst witness to be examined
for the defense was J. d. Waters,
who swore he would not believe c.
b. Price under oath. Dr. Dewberry
was then examined, and stated that
he had been treating Mr.. Hutchinson
for fever from Sept 1 to Sept II,
tle latter being the first day he was
able to sit up. and at that time he
was very weak.
w. 4. Everett. druggist, testified
that he had filed prescriptions for
Mr.. Hutchinson during the period
named by DR.. Dewberry-
Mr. Hutchinson stated that on Sept
1lth he was lying in he'd, unable to
even get up; that he had not killed
ANY quail, but on the other hand be-
lonSed to gun club which endesyor-
ed to protect quail; furthermore that
his hunting dog was not as described
by the Prices, and that L is not a
retriever a. they had stated.
Frank Pou stated that he was not
with Mr.. Hutchinson on the 18th or
any other day shooting quail, and
that c. B. Price had Sold him two
weeks before that there were four
men in the party.
Upou this evidence Mr.. Loftin dis
missed the case.

This with $4,000 borrowed from

neat little sum of s333,923. In this

twelve years. In his former cam

mired by q large portion of the peo-

the Newhouse interests, accompanied
by Count Labordo, were in this city

several days sampling the Chafey

they examined the property with a
view of recommending its purchase.

siderable increase in value p%ercepti-
bic as depth is attained.

north drift at the 50-foot level which

The north erosseut, which is now
in a distance of approximately ninety
feet, is in a tremendous body of ore
fully eighty feet wide. assays from
which give a general average of six
teen dollars to the ton. These figures
may sound incredible. says the
Chafey News, but the sampling was
done in sections of five feet. which
is considered a careful test.

FOR DOUBLE CHINs.

II is at this season of the year that
the ugliness of the fat chin is most
observable. In winter II Is more or
less hidden by furs, chiffons and
laces, but In summer white gowns
with their low nevks serve to display
the double chin cruelty. Double chins
are of verious kinds. There Is the
chin which Is simply too fat. Then
there Is the double chin which Is
caused by the shortness of the neck
and the habit of carrying the chin
too low. And, third, there Is the
chin which merely looks double be-
cause of a fatty manner OF dressing.
as by wearing collars too tight.
The necklace calls attention to the
double chin. Before putting on a
necklace the woman with a fat chin
should massage 1t downward. She
should take the palm of her hand and
stroke the fat of her chin with a Wig
orous stroke. Then she should rub
right down from the end of the chin
to the dip In the throat. Then with
a second stroke she should drive the
flesh still farther downward. II will
make a great difference in the size of
her neck IL she will persist In this.
Then while the skin Is still ting
