lee Plant.

The ice plant is still after a plenti-
full supply of water. They expect to
get it within day or so, and then
will begin the manufacture of ice.
They have two pipes down, and are
putting the large eight inch pipe still
deeper, but as yet do not get sufficient
water to run the ice Plant. They also
furnish the locomotives here with
water. The scarcity of ice at other
points makes the shortage felt here
severely, and all that can be got from
Dothar by rail, and from Pensacola
and Apalachicola by boat, does not
begin to supply the demand. Every
thing is in readiness here to make
the ice but a larger supply of water.

Notifying Candidates.

The Dothan Eagle has an article on
the time taken and the expenses in
Cured in notifying the candidates of
their nomination &c. In connection
with this subject it says:
"This thing is getting so big, till we
are going to try to induce the proper
authorities, whoever they may be, to
send a committee down to Panama
SIXTY and notify Buck Baker that he
was nominated mayor of DOthan some
two or three months ago. a heart
stimulent might be given just before
the news is suddenly broken to him,
that he might be prepared for the
shock. In fact, we think that a com
mittee should be sent down to notify
him, for it is rumOred up here, that
he has his application in for chief.of
police before the board of aldermen
tO-be-elected down there"
Now this is a SANDER on Buck.
Any one noticing his daily duties,
sitting on top of wabbly launch, a
possible life saver of the pretty girl
beside him, would at once realize that
he is not candidate for anything
but matrimOny, and most aSSuredly
is not in need of any heart stimulant
other than that right at hand. And
for the position named he seems TO
have an unlimited number of charm
inc merry supporters too.
Panama City pilot., 1908-07-23

With the lumber coming in here by
rail from Dothan, and that manufac-
tured here, and being brought by
barge from Millville, building is being
carried on more successfully than it
has been heretofore.
Mr.. Hughes, wife and daughter, of
DOthan, are guests at the Inn this
week. MIR Hughes is a cotton buyer,
and states that 80, 900 bales of cotton
were bought in Dothan last season.
He says that if the cotton could be
shipped direct from here, double that
amount would be bought there.
j. l.. Jackson, of Vernon, candidate
for sheriff on the Peoples Ticket, and
A. w. Weeks, candidate for Clerk on
the same ticket, were Panama City
visitors this morning. These gentle
men are touring the southern part of
the country in the interest of their
ticket.
Fine black and sugar figs are ripen-
ing fast now, and owing to a limited
demand the fruit is rotting on the
ground in large quantities. Pears
are also an abundant crop this sum-
mer and are exceptionally good. The
orange crop is also looking well and
promises a fine and heavy yield.
Mr. William Gamer and wife, of
Econfina, were arrivals on last even
lngs train, stopping at the home of
their daughter, Mrs Davis. This
worthy couple are probably the old
est residents of Washington county,
and Mr. Gamer stated that he came
down inst to ride on a train across
the county to the shores of the bay.
Like all the rest of us Mr. Gamer has
been patiently awaiting this event
many years.
The building of a temporary station
near the switch at the terminus here
will be begun this week, and will soon
be completed. The railway will also
erect tank here this week. The
abutment of the dock is about finish
ed and ready to fill, and track will
be place. on it this week. Little by
little the finishing touches are being
put on the road and it will soon be in
shape to do heavy freight and pas
senger business.
The PILOT is in receipt at the hands
of Davis Cawthon, of a basket of
tomatoes and peppers, raised by his
father, w. l.. Cawthon, of DeFuniak
Springs, that are illustrative in
most magnificent way of the posi-
bilities of our soil in the matter of
vegetable raising. Finer vegetables
were never gathered anywhere, and
it is said that Mr. CawthOn has had
an abundance of just such vegetables
right along. OF course it takes at
tention, and some knowledge of the
work, but we have the soil, and the
climate, and with proper culture any
one can duplicate this fine showing.

as permanent residents.

Railroad Wharf.

Owing to the storms of the past
week, progress has been slow on this
dock. The timbers of the abutment
are now all in place and filling of the
same will probably begin today, a
work train having been placed here
for that purpose. Pile driving began
last evening on the dock proper, and
will now be pushed along as fast as
the men can do it. When completed
this will be an imposing and extern
siVe dock.
