An Assured Fact.

The people of Pensacola have the
right to congratulate themselves upon
the letting of a contract 10 a local
firm for the erection of the handsome,
up-to-date hotel which in another year
is expected to reach completion. Much
time has been given by master spirits
in the community in order TO draw to
a focus the many considerations that
naturally enter into an undertaking of
such great proportions and in this
they have been most happily buoyed
up by the consensus of popular opin-
Ion and by the expression of good will
On the part of the entire community.
The struggle TO accomplish the task
has been a long and arduous one, but

The Death of

whose spirit passed into the abode OF
everlasting peace last Sunday, and
whose body was consigned to its last
resting place in the cemetery at Jack

wound in the heart OF the people which
will take long in healing while the
unique place he held III the states

Governor Fleming was not an old
man. having passed his sixty-seventn
birthday in September, but, no doubt,
his years OF unusual honor and USE
fulness were curtailed by the hard
ships he encountered during the war
between the states in which ne fought
gsllantly from its outbreak in 1861 to
the surrender in 1865.
After the war he filed many posi-
lions OF trust in this, his native state.
which eliminated in his election as
governor in 1889. Shortly before the
time of his death his comrades in
arms elected him as major general
commanding the Florida Division of
United Confederate Veterans. AS a
lawyer he honorei his profession and
as historian made many yaiuabie
contributions to the historical society
of the state.
The greatest marks OF respect are
shown his memory at Tallahassee

will hang at half mast for a period OF
thirty days, while during the hour of

military honors and attended by
