but even in that event the ever-pres-
ent problem of t1e enforcement OF
the law would still confront us. and
with laxness in that respect We would
probably discover that pistol-tOting as
a felony has no more terrOrs for the
law-breaker of that kind than pistol
toting as a misdemeanor. The pres
ent law on the subject would doubtless
be sufficient to break up the evil prac-
tiee If it we're vigorously enforced
and Imprisonment as well as a heavy
fine made the sure penalty in every
instance. But tne decent, law-abiding
people of this country are so harried
and bedeviled by the pisto[toters and
their foul, murderous work that they
would consent to the most extreme
measures 10 get rid of the breed, and
If making the offence a felony will az
complish the end or even contribute
aPpreciabIy to it, they would doubt

The Palafox Street
Object Lesson.

Mr.. c. w Hagerman IS giving the
citizens of Pensacola a valuable OBJ
ieet lesson in the work he is doing in
the improvement of the Palafox street
parkway. The park commission turn
ed the work over to him and he is
showing, by actual demonstration,
how a hitherto ragged, iIl-kept and
altogether unattractive parkway can
be converted into a handsome and
creditable public beauty-spot
One of the criticisms which visitors
always level at Pensacola is that
they cannot get used to the deep sand
which is encountered or every hand
They cannot understand why we can
not nave pretty parks, green grass
plots. and well kept lawns here as
they have elsewhere. and they 90
away to tell their friends in other
states about our delinquencies in that
respect.
And yet there is no place in the
world where grass grows easier or will
keep greener than here in Pensacola.
No place is it more easy to nave a fine
lawn all the year around than it is
here. No place could the parks and
the grass plots along the streets be
made more attractive than they can
be in this city.
Mr.. Hagerman is showing how II
can be done. He commenced. at the
very beginning, and step by step, he
is demonstrating just how a lawn
can be made. 1t is very simple mat
ter too; so simple, in fact, tnat the
humblest hOme-owner can have a
green lawn in front of his house if he
only wants it, and every street park
way and public square in the city
could be made place of perennial
beauty if our people would only have
it so.
The question is: Why don't we do
it2 The next question is: Will peo-
pie simply pay some attention now
and profit by the Object,lesson which
Nj. Hagerman is now giving them
1t won't cost a cent.

A DeIusion.

The imagination in the minds of
most people that riches bring happi-
ness is, IN our humble opinion, a de-
fusion. At least we have never known
o. very rich man yet that was not
troubled with govt, ingrowing toe-naiIs
or keen and aggravating fear lest
&c some future time ne would lose
his wealth and become as the ordi-
nary individual with a heart that
beats in sympathy with the rest OF
mankind, and a mind that reaches ont
into the great beyond and sees some
thing worth more tnan the greed and
avarice of this world for which to
live Happiness is not the lot of rich
men by any means.-Fernandina Rec

II all towns of the state would, in
proportion, make the effort that Jack

We would need no immigration bu-

effort would bring many thousands of
people into the state to locate and in
vest their money among us. The me-

throughout the country all kinds OF
advertising matter, telling of her adj
