CANDY AND PEACHES.

CANDY AND PEACHES.
Teddy and Tommy had just had a
fight which resulted in sorry look
ing nose for Teddy and a black eye
for Tommy. When they parted,
Teddy said maliciously:
"Well, you amt going to get none
of my Uncle Fred's peaches" And
as Tommy had no idea of being out
done by Teddy, he returned with
equal malice:
ss"Neither are you going to get none
of my Uncle Jacks candy"
When Teddy got home and the
family heard of the quarrel, it
deemed it necessary that Teddy be
punished. Then Teddy was dressed
for the afternoon, and bade sit in the
hammock and not get his clothes
soiled.
Teddy had a rather mournful time,
as it may be supposed. Then, even
little man that he was, he cried.
"I amt going to get none of the
candy that Tommy's Uncle Jack
promised me-" he sobbed. After
awhile, just guess what he noticed?
Well, he saw that he had been cry
ing candies. Teddy laughed. "Why,
how queer!" Then he grew serious.
IT must cry lot so as to get lot
of candy" So he cried and cried and
then found himself smothered with
candies. He then remembered a
story about a little boy drowned in
candy, who ate his way out. So
Teddy decided to do the same thing.
When he had finally eaten his way
out of his difficulty, he remembered
that he had been told not to get his
suit dirty. He looked down at his
suit and to his amazement, he saw
that it was perfectly clean.
That's funny" he remarked.
"When 1 ate my way out Of choco-
lates." Then he spied Tommy COM
ing in the gate with box of candy
in his hand. He came up the walk
sheepishly. Teddy went to meet
him.
Uncle Jack sent this over and
hoped it would cure your nose. 1
hope you did not get punished; 1
did"
"I got it all right" answered
Teddy. Thanks for the candy. I'm
Just as hungry for it as if hadn't
eaten my way out of a whole lot of
candy"
"Gee!" exclaimed Tommy. "Did
you dream that you were drowned in
candy? I dreamt 1 was drowned in
peaches!"
81 didn't dream at ALL" said
Teddy, Indignantly. Then he looked
at his candy, and remembering that
Tommy was now a dear friend, he
suggested: Say, Tommy, let's sit in
the hammock and swing high and
wait till Uncle Fred brings us some
peaches" So Teddy and Tommy, as
good friends as ever, went to the
hammock ''to swing high" There,
to their great surprise, under the
hammock lay two big bags of peaches
and on one was written:
"For Tommy, hoping his eye is
better"
WELL" remarked Teddy, 1--WE
can't eat this stuff till after supper,
so: we'll go to your house and see II
you can stay at our house for supper.
Then, after, we can swing and eat
our stuff. That'll be fine, won't it?'
"Just bully" acquiesced Tommy,
.joyfully if inelegantly.
"And we'll never fight again, will
we?" asked Teddy.
"Neyer!" answered Tommy, firm

also diplomat of singular ability, who
served Germany with fervent patriot

Indian Terror Not So Many. 5.
Strawcutter, who is making a COLLECTION

something of a jolt yesterday by D. !.

Work for Our
Chamber of Commerce.

The Journal publishes today a
most noteworthy communication
from Mr. C. c. Packard, a reliable
correspondent who has been visiting
Foley, in our neighboring county of
Baldwin, which may well arrest =
attention of the business men of Pen
sacola and especially of our chamber
of commerce, whose special utility
is in concentrating effort for the
commercial and Industrial advantage
of this city.
This letter tells of the wonderful
material development which is going
on in South Baldwin county almost
right at our doors, and how by proper
effort on our part our business men
may secure large and constantly
Increasing trade. South Baldwin

county will rival the best parts of
the north in its great output OF fruits
and vegetables.
Pensacola is the natural market
for this section, but Perdido bay,
across which there is no transporta,
ton, blocks the way, and the truck
raisers must perforce carry their
produce to Mobile What is needed,
as our correspondent says. is either
a bridge across Perdido bay from
Lillion to Millview, or a barge which
will ply betwee nthose two points to
carry freight and passengers regu-
larry and frequently.
There are right now 500 families
located in this rich region naturally
tributary to Pensacola, and more
coming in every day. They are just
the kind of people we want and have
been seeking for-sturdy farmers
from the North and West, and this
spring they have large crops to
put upon the market. Let us get
their trade and make them perma-
nent assets in the prosperity of Pen
sacola. 1t is such people as these
who build cities by developing the
country upon which cities must de.
pend.
Let. our chamber of commerce take
hold of this matter at once. put ii
right up to our business men, and
see if they can't find some way to
provide cheap, frequent and regular
transportation across Perdfdo bay to
the end that Pensacola may secure
this large and rapidly increasing
traffic.

fact, Mobile is getting it now, but
