WE DID THINK

at one time we'd buy an automobile % that we could deliver our tea. coffee and butter right away quick. But since we see that fire auto" go through our streets we have changed our mind Of course we wouldn't have to go as quick as our fire chief, but If the gosh blame" thing got going and our ad man couldn't stop 1t there would be something doing If 1t struck telegraph pole. And, say, If one or two of the tires.should burst on that fire auto some day, we will all bo telling each other what good fellow the chief was and it's too bad, etc; but won't 1t be terrible if that screeching noise that's made by the Ire auto should frighten two or three people to death? They should be compelled to use fire bell and cut out that screeching nuisance. Say, a man in our store the other day said he'd rather carry the "hod' than ride with the fire chief to fire, and that reminded us we had a whole lot of ''hods," that is coal "hods," and this week we give "hod" with each pound of our warranted good Baking Powder, 45c per pound.

There are probably comparatively
few of our people who have visited the
large tobacco packing house and cigar
factory of Mr.. A. Wahnish down near
the SeabOard depot, and yet it is a very
interesting place to explore. About
$50 men and women are kept busy at
the many details connected with the
work Of packing and curing the tObac-
co and making the cigars, besides pre-
pairing for shipment many ear loads
of theleaf, a solid car load going off
ever other week.
1t is largely due 70 Mr.. Wahnish's
efforts that the culture of tobacco took
root in Leon county. He was one Of
the pioneers in growing and curing it,
and by his success proved conclusively
that Leon offered as fair field for this
industry as did Gadsden. BY preeept
and example he has preached tobacco
until now it has become one of our lead
ing industries. Make Mr. Wahnish a
visit. 1t will be interesting to see what
he is doing towards the upbuilding Of
the industrial advancement Of our city
and country, and to such men is due
much credit.
