under which home work is carried on,
heard the evidence of the president Of

said that the dlfhculty in organizing

that they were too poor to help them
selves. This witness mentioned the
case of woman known to her who
could earn only rs cents a week by

of another shirtmaker who received
only 81 cents a dozen for making

Panama City Booming.

Nearly every train now days brings
in parties who either buy property,
or arrange for building upon that
which they have already bought. Not
a day passes but some one is buying
lots, and it is evident that if one wants
a choice location he must bestir him
self. Prices remain unchanged, but
there is a tendencyto take advantage
of the cash discount, which betokens
better times. Just now building ma
terial can be quite easily obtained,
and this is causing many to begin the
erection of various kinds of buildings
who have been held back heretofore
for want of material. Parties who
have visited here in the past and
waited as to investing hoping that
prices would be lower, are now re-
turning and buying, convinced that
eligible locations will never be any
lower, and in all probability will soon
be much higher. The prospects of
our little city were never brighter,

MAIL BY RAIL.
First Movement of the
Mails to St Andrews
Bay by Train.

Monday evening of this week mark
ed the beginning of a new epoch in
the Bay country through the arrival
of the mails, for the first time, by
railroad.
Though the occasion was married
by the usual negligence and blunder-
ing upon the part of the Post Office
Department as to its care at either
the initial or terminal point, yet the
fact that despite all this mail had ac-
tually been carried by railroad into
the bay country, was cause of uni
versal cOngratulatiOn.
Lack of adequate and competent
mail service has had much to do with
checking the growth of the Bay cOun-
try. Probably there is no section of
the United States that has suffered
as much from the neglect and inef-
ficiency of the GOvernmentinr respect
to its mail service as this locality has
Therefore the greater citation upon
the arrival of the first mail by trian.
At an early day the mail was
brought here from Marianne. With
the growth of the Bay county in the
SOS a service was inaugurated from
Chipley to st Andrews by team. This
trip consumed the better part of two
days. The next Improvement was
putting on a launch between St An
drews and Bay Head, and shortening
up of the land trip from Chipley by
stopping at Bay Head. That service
has continued up to the present time.
The mail will probably arrive here
under the present railway schedule
at p. m. If proper arrangements
are made the st Andrews mail could
have been pouched by itself and up
on its arrival forwarded at once to
that post office, thus ensuring the pat
rOns of that office a delivery of their
mail before p. m. For East Bay
| points similar pOuching and immedI-
ate forwarding would enable Millville,
| Parker, and CrOmantOn to receive
/ the mail before p. m.
AS this mail would leave DOthan as
late as II a. M, and pass COttondale
at 10 p. M, all the main places on
! st Andrews Bay should receive At
lanta, Jacksonville, and Pensacola
daily morning papers the same even
ing, and corresponding speedy ser
vice for the letter mail.
That is what the service is capable
of being made and with no extra ex-
pense to the Post Office Department
provided that Department can be pre-
vailed upon to do what is fair anC
right by this section of the country
