Dear Friend Nellie:
will sit down and write you few
lines as it is raining here. We can
always find plenty of work to do. I
wish could come up and see you folks
again. Is Pickens still farming? Will
he have any fruit this year?
We expect to get chool in our
neighborhood by September. Is it
farther to the Lincoln school than it
was to Dahlonega? Is Ray going too.
or you alone.
The flower you sent looks natural.
There are not many wild flowers here.
What are Billiards doing? How do
they like farming? Is there anybody
living on the old Blizzard place? Do
you miss them?
We have 26 little chickens and an
other hen setting. The rainy season
here is not very good time to raise
little chickens. Wintertime is the
best.
Are you having good luck with your
incubator?
You will have to have help to pick
your fruit. You are getting good
start on fruit.
Wish we had one Of your cows. We
are going to get one some day. We
buy canned milk and it is now like
good cows milk. We can't get a COW
in sight of $50 in Havana. If we were
coming down here again we would
bring one down with us.
Dwight has a pet pig and he thinks
it the only thing. 1t grows like weed
The pigs down here you can almost
see through them for the natives never
feed them any grain, only what the,
can find. Mangos make good feeu.
They are little like peach and
make fine sauce.
l am sending you blue print of a
part of our banana patch. They are
the small kind, called the dwarf. The
fruit is just as BIZ; but the plant is
small. The big ones are called John
son. These plants are larger.
We have plants near bearing.
will close for this time,
From your friend,
George Abbey.

feet cfn lie brought IL 10 action to
OF oSe ,hem.
st Andrews Bay offers a solution to
this problem of protection with it's
miles of deep water, its protected an
chorage, deep water near shore where
craving and other docks can easily
and economically be built, and the
ease with which the entrance to the
harbor can be protected. All that it
asks is an examination by experts.
1t has nothing to fear from the fullest
investigation of its claims. In the
performance of the duty the Navy
Department owes to the Nation it
cannot well refuse to most fully and
carefully investigate the claims of ST
Andrews Bay.
Panama City pilot., 1908-12-24
Navy Yards.

1t is with no small degree of salts
faction that the PILOT notes the
decision lately made public by the
Navy Department officials, that no
further expenditures would be made
at present upon the navy stations at
Key West and Pensacola.
Ever since the initial number of the
PILOT it has endeavored in all legiti-
mate ways to call the attention of the
Government to the possibilities
afforded by the protected and unsur-
passed harbor of st Andrews Bay,
as the logical location of Gulf Coast
Naval Base. By the presentation of
facts corroborating this proposition,
by earnest and continuous exploita-
ton of the subject by its editor with
the officials of the Government and
prominent members of both bodies of
Congress, it has sought to secure an
investigation of the great possibilities
of this Bay by the experts of the Navy
Department before further eXpendi-
lures were authorized for Pensacola
or Key West.
What is claimed for st Andrews
Bay is that it affords unequalled pro-
lection to vessels or property during
the tropical storms that frequent the
Gulf; that it is the nearest deep water
point by rail from the centre of the
United States, and from the great
coal producing regions of Alabama !;
that its harbor affords the greatest
capacity for vessels of any port south
of Hampton Roads; and finally and of
the greatest moment, that a Naval
Base can be placed on the shores of
this bay that would be out of the
possibilities of reach of gun fire from
the most modern warships.
The Navy Yards at Pensacola and
Key West are both so located as to
be easily destroyed by an enemies
fleet. This has been recognized by
every Department report upon the
subject since these yards were To-
Gated. 1t has been hoped that our
own fleet would be in readiness to
drive off and protect these points
against the fleet of an enemy, but as
has recently been said by Naval ex-
pert, an enemies feet may show up
at unexpected points and destroy a
CITY and property, before our own

Pilot and L. & N. r. r.

No article that ever appeared in
the PILOT appears to have met with
such universal appreciation as did
that enlightening it's readers as to
the real status of the l.. q n. r. r.
in it's dealing with the StAndrews Bay
country.
From Maine to Texas, and from
the northern boundaries of the United
States to the waters of the Gulf, have
come letters of congratulatiOn upon
the stand taken by the PILOT in be-
half of the people.
One writer is thankful that there
is one exception to the subsidized
press that has permitted the wrongs
inflicted upon the people by the l.. &
N. r. T.. to pass by unnoted and un-
condemned" while another writer, a
New England newspaper man of
notable standing in that section says:
81 have really been immensely
amused at the way you have been
running amuck down there, hammer
ing the i. & n. and everything else
that gets in the way of progress. 1t
is stimulating just to watch the sparks
fly at the distance of near thousand
miles, and must be decidedly inter
esting and strenuous on the ground
You have been doing some beauti-
full jobs of puncturing. Sic Semper
Tyranis."
The PILOT wishes to extend its
thanks to the great numbers who by
letter or otherwise have given it their
approval in this matter. Such cordial
and flattering encOmiums from such
widely separated body of readers
but corroborates the fact of the in
tense feeling existing against the L..

Commercial Club.
Edited by w. F. LOOK. Secretary.

During the Holiday season which
we are just entering upon, we realize
that the thoughts of our members are
centered on the festivities incident to
this time of the year, and the weight
est matters must give place to the
filling of the little ones stockings,
and the more difficult task of selecting
remembrances for their elders.
Your Secretary too, while not
blessed or otherwise, by some of
these responsibilities, is aomewhat at
a loss to find material to interest our
members in the work of our Club,
when their minds are far away and on
pleasure bent.
He is reminded of the story of the
old darkey who went into a store
down in Georgia and asked:
"Say, boss, you got any gun pOwdah
heah?"
"Yes, We Lave gunpOwder.
"Lemme see some of that theah gun
powdah."
The dealer showed him some.
"Pore a little of that pOwdah in my
hand"
TIE old darkey took the powder
near the light, ran his for9fnger
around and around in it critically,
and then smnIled it two or three
times.
"And you say this heah is powdah?"
Eyes, answered the dealer sharply;
THAT is powder. What is the matter
with it?'
"Dunno, boss'-the darkey shook
his head dOubtfully-" but hit smells TO
me like hits been done shot off
befOah."
And just at the present writing,
most of our ammunition has "been
done shot off befOah."
So while we will not attempt to
distract your attention from the
Joyous Yule Tide and its pleasures
and amusements, we will ask you not
to lose sight of the important work
we have ahead of us, and to give as
much thought as possible to the vari-
