some one who knows tells us how
the work should be done - /.
Better on Than Many.
With our sixteen or more squares,
our wide streets and our fine park
Pensacola is. far better on than many
other cities of greater size, but take
the map again and look for even one
square west of Palafox street-one-
half of the city with mo provision for
a free breath and some day parks viii
be greatly needed in just that sec
ton. Now look again. When the city
is built UP tight where are the boys
to play ball. Even now. there is not
one suitable piece of public ground
for such purposes and cities are fast
learning that it is cheaper to provide
Fairgrounds than to prosecute the
young criminals that develop where
play is prohibited. Cities fortunate
enough to have a water front count
that the best of recreation features,
and we scarcely have any water front
left, that which we have IS an eye
sore rather than a thing of beauty 1t
ought to be.
Should Acquire Property. -.
Yes, Pensacola il far better OF than
many other cities, but we expect to
make Pensacola one of the most at
tractive Cities, and to do that we
must begin at once to acquire the
property necessary TO provide parks
and drives and Fairgrounds, and pub
lie baths for every section of our
present city and for the city that is
to be. We must have a plan which
will link these units into symmetri.
cal park system.
OF course this whole program can
ho norriad af 61vf hQ
plan should be made at once. as an
idea which may become reality, to
insure proper expenditure of the
present park and street funds and to
prevent injudicious work which may
later have to be undone and to enable
US while land is comparatively cheap
to secure in the right location and
quantity the property that will inevi-
table be needed for such purposes.
This plan should be made by some
man of recognized. ability in that
new profession of Landscape archi-
tect." An engineer or an artist. or
a gardener, will not do. the man for
this work must be all OF these, like
Kessler, VINO made the park system
of Kansas City and Memphis; Hill,
of Philadelphia. or Hare, Of Chicago,
or any man who has back of him
such accomplishments as these men
can show in the cities they serve.
To have some sucl expert visit
Pensacola and make a bare plan COW
ering the points mentioned would not
be beyond our means. Details of de-
velopment can be- worked out later
as the funds come by annual appropri-
alton, but even large expenditure
for such a plan just now would be
wise aud economical for the present
as well as for the future.
Without a plan we can have no

A teacher who has taught for fifty
eight years has no need TO draw on
his Imagination for. material to write
a story, for he certainly has expert
ence in actual work sufficient for the
task
In 1858, on the second of December,
left my home, which was at that
time in Alabama, just above. the Flor
ida line, for the purpose OF standing
an examination to become public
school teacher in, Conecuh county,
Ala Hon. ]. v. Perrymah was coun'
ty superintendent of public instruc
ton and resided at Evergreen, Ala,
Late in the afternoon arrived at his
home and was told that he was about
three miles from town, engaged In
grading on the Pensacola and Mont
gomeyy railroad, which at that time
was in course OF construction.
L proceeded UP the road as directed
until came upon Mr.. Perryman at
work with his hands. Mr. PerTyman
asked me to dismount and extended a
very cordial greeting. AS 1t was
nearly sunset ne told one of his labor
efs to bring his horse, which was

feeding at some distance from where
we STOOD and he and l started to re
turn to his home in Evergreen. He
soon asked me my business with him
and / told him I wished to be exam
in my neighborhood. His first ques
ton was: Are you competent"
"Sir, that is for you to find OUT
was my reply.
This seemed to stump the old gen
tleman and we proceeded for some
distance before another word was
spoken I asked him what was the
product of so cents bya50 cents Al,
ter some deliberation he said $3.50.
told him he was wrong. He said:
What is the answerS
l said that was for him TO find out.
In short time we arrived in Ever.
green and stopped at thes store of a
Mr. Barnett, who had recently mar
ried and set up in business. -
Mr.. Allen" he said, Eve will stop
here for a .few smonen3s., ~=svrr
Mr.. Perryman introduced me to Mr.
Barnett and l told him i wanted TO be
examined for teacher, and further
that he could not examine nae in Eng
lish grammar. Mr.. Barnett said he
had studied only Latin grammar and
could not examine me in English
grammar.
"Tut-tut,' said Mr.. Perryman. here
is q man just graduated from college
and can't examine man in English
grammar" Mr.. Perryman then gave

him the problem of so cents by 80
cents and he gave the same amount
OF Ss.5G-
While we were waiting with every
thing at standstill, Prof Robert
Bruce Wetter, who was teaching in
Evergreen at that time, chanced to be
passing and was called in by Mr. Per-
rymaf. who requested the professor
to examine me in grammar. A gram
mar being produced. Mr.. Wetter open
ed 1T at random and proceeded to give
me many sentences TO parse, which |
did without a hitch.
Gentleman" said the professor, 81
am perfectly satisfied Mr.. Allen knows
grammar" Judge PeTryman took me
to his pleasant home and a delightful
night was spent with him and his
family. Next morning. being the 3rd
day of. December, 1858, Judge J. Per
ryman granted me a first grade cer.ifi-
cate, giving me leave to teach any
and all branches taught in the Ala
bama schools in those days.
Now Old Evergreen.
The Evergreen of 1850 is now
known as "Old Evergreen" Perhaps
some of the persons mentioned in this
story may be living at this time, and
be able to recall the facts mentioned
in this article.
Judge Perryman, who was. a very
conservative, high-toned gentleman,
I've been. told, has long since passed
to his great reward. Should Mr.. Bar
nett still be. on the mundane shores,

To harness one OF these storms he
