New Year Looks Good
To Escarnbia County.

The holiday season being shelveu
and done for, at least for another
twelvemonth, We find ourselves con-
fronted by the less festive problems
of New Years business. There is
plenty to be done in Pensacola and
Escambia this year of grace 1910 and
the city and the county should be full
of strong hearts and intelligent heads
to tackle these local possibilities.
There is plenty of work, both pri-
vate and public, to be done in Pensa-
cola, and, as we have from time to
time made it plain, there is to be no
lack of steady and remunerative occu-
patton for men in our midst who have
the disposition to labor for a living
Local industries are busy, the wharves
and harbor are a beehive of activity,
retail tradesmen have abundance of
business for their salespeople and some
of them could use more of the right
stamp. The farmers of Escambia, who
trade in Pensacola, raised substantial
crops and they have money to spend
and they are not niggardly about jul
dicious buying, either.
There is an air of thrift, alertness
and expectation all over the city and
in the atmosphere of all the city's con-
tiguous territory. The calling of the
chronic croaker in Pensacola and Es-
Gambia is at an end; the occupation of
the pessimist has been destroyed by
the indubitable record of one of the
best business years this section ever
knew. The people of this part of
West Florida nave neither time nor
mood to listen to the lamentations OF
the calamity bowler.
The future of Pensacola and of the
country Of which Pensacola forms the
principal part looks good to all right
minded people. The year 1910 should
prove a season of exceptional progress
and satisfaction to all the folk that
live within the radius of The Journals

nal bids godspeed as they reach the
threshold of the new year.

those 80 questions the census enumer-
ator will soon be asking.
