GIVE 1T NAME THAT
PENSACOLA WAS CALLED

Bagdad. Fla, June %.
Editor Pensacola Journal:
If a name indicative of the Spanish
colonial settlement of Pensacola is to
he given the new hotel, then beyond
ali question is should be called 'Puer-
IA D'Anchusi," or Hotel D'Anchusi,"
(which is pronounced Dancoosil, this
being the name bestowed upon Pensa-
cola harbor by Maldonado in January,
154O. and precedes by nearly twenty
years any name bestowed by white
men TO this part of the continent
If that name does not meet with
approval it would be nice to have the
entire exterior of the building finished
in white. No color could give it a
cooler, cleaner or more inviting ap-
.pearance (Which are three points to
be desiredl and call it Hotel Casa
Blanca" or The Casa Blanca.
Or if it is the desire of the stock
holders to honor its promoter and
their home city no name could be
more appropriate than "Herva Cola"
which has been suggested.

A Fountain Of Ants.

The house 1 was occupying in India

with many bungalows, the inner walls
were constructed of merely sun dried
bricks. and in the recesSes of one wall
a colony OF white ants had esta blished
a nest 1t was evening. l heard be-
hind me a buzzing sound. l turned,
and from q hole near the bottom of the
wall | beheld a fountain OF young
white ants ascending. They reached
the ceiling. and then the descent COM
menced They alighted by thousands
on the table and there shook off their
wings. In a few minutes the cloth, the
plates, the glasses, even the lamp
shades, were covered with the little
white, feeble. crawling creatures The
fountain of ants continued to play for
at least ten minutes. When, next
morning. the floor was swept the wings

Boost Home
Grown Products.

A western city several years ago
held a pure food" exhibition, the
exhibits being comprised of all pro-
duties manufactured in in that city,
and out of that exposition OF the
city's resources was born the slogan
that is now known from Frisco to
Portland, Me-, and from the great
! lakes to the gull, Made in Kansas

three letters have done more TO adver-
tise that western city than anything

California. after it developed its
fruit growing country, stamped every
crete OF fruit that left its boundaries,
California" The peach growers OF
Georgia, in the Elberta district, made
.Fhe liberia peaches famous. All this
twas done by advertising.
Now, all this has but little to do
with Pensacola, only 1t proves con-
clusively what the use of home pro-
ducts by home people and the adver-
Kissing of those home products will do.
A shipment of peaches, Elberta
peaches, reached Pensacola yesterday
Safternoon, but. they did not come
from Georgia. They were shipped
from Cottage Hill. Escambia county,
and they are as sweet and fine a
sample o. the fruit as one could OBJ
tain from any place, the Georgia dis
strict to the contrary notwfthstand-
ding. They have the favor, the color
and healthfulness that makes the
perfect fruit and they are, most of
all, a home product.
1t is to be desired that the success

have invested capital and labor in
developing fruit growing in this coun-
ty will be rewarded by a generous
patronage OF Escambia county citi-
senst The fruit is equal, il not SUI

but only such patronage and such adj
ver'tssement as that which developed
the manufacturing products of the
Kansas City. u. S. A. and made
California fruit known in two hemis-
pheres. will encourage the present
fruit growers of Escambia county to
greater efforts. and induce others TO
invest their money and time in tae
same business.
Let every person In Pensacola try
the liberia peach grown by the Got
tage Hill Fruit Farm, and If they
like them-they undoubtedly will
let them tell others. and boost home
grown products.

Of the Cleveland letter have hurt the

every Republican newspaper in the
United States printed it in detail. The
Republican national committee has to
my certain knowledge issued 5G0,00o
copies of this forged document and

the forgery three weeks before the
