CARRIE NATION COMING
HERE FOR MARDi GRAS
Wants to Investigate Mask
ing and Witness the
Other Sights.
MRS. NATION is NOW IN JACK
SONVILLE, BUT WILL REACH
HERE BEFORE THE MARDI
GRAS FESTIVITIES AND WILL
REMAIN AND SEE THE SIGHTS.

Mrs. Carrie Nation, the Kansas Sa-
loon buster, with her famous Ratchet.
will be in Pensacola during the Mardi
GraS festivities. She is now in Jack
sonviIle, giving free expression to her
thought of things in general as she
finds them in Jacksonville, and espec-
tally regarding the saloons of that
place From there she will probably
come direct to Pensacola.
1t is said that the famous Kansas
saloon hater has a curiosity TO See
what transpireS during Hlardi Gras,
and while she will probably arrive
before the festivities begin, she will
in all probability remain and see
what happens. She has been told of
masking, fun making and revelry
that is carried on to more or less
extent on such occasions by young
and old, and this has aroused her
curfosity-perhaps her ireland has
caused her to determine to come here
and see for herself. 1t is said she
has also ben told that this is a most
opportune time to investigate Pen
Sacola saloons and this, too, has
probably had some weight i'll causing
her to reach the determination to
stop in Pensacola longer than usual.
The coming OF Mrs. Nation has al
ready attracted much attention
throughout this section of the coun-
try. but the fact that she has picked
Mardi Gras for the time of her visit
will no doubt increase the interest.
What she will have TO say of Pensa-
cola and PensacolianS once she has
been in the midst of a Mardi Gras
celebration will prove interesting to
the public, especially if she should en-
counter a group of merry maskers
and their confetti.
