The Glory of
Majestic Florida.

Nearly every day we have occasion
to add to our stock of adoratisn for
the Land Of Flowers and Fruit Listen
to this from the Orlando Reporter
Star:
Mr.. J. NJ. Patrick brought into town
Saturday, forty quarts OF cultivated
black berries. This is his first mar
ketable fruit this season and all sold
easily for Is cents per quart. His fruit
sales continue for months yet, and
there is more easy money in them
than any other crop.
Time was-and still is, in most Sec
tions-when blackberries never arrived
before the latter part of June or the
first Of July. It is remarkable when
the ebony-hued bullets are brought to
town in April.
Turning TO another exchange, the
Tallahassee True-Democrat, We find
this:
Rev. J. 3. Pruitt planted last year 10
cents worth Of pole bean seed, and
from these sold more than Sc worth to
Mr.. p. I. Mickler, his merchant, be-
sides having all he wanted for home
Again we read this interesting bit Of
news from st. Petersburg:
Probably the largest acreage of wa
termelons ever planted on the PENN
sula IS the patch which win come into
bearing within several weeks, and
owned by c. B. Potter. The acreage
planted is thirty. Mr.. Potter used the
Tom Watson seed, said to be the best
Cbtainable, becausce OF the production
Of good shipping melons. The seed
was recommended by 4 commission
firm, which agreed with Mr.. Potter TO
take his entire crop at $125 per car,
OF # he did not want 10 90 that, they
would pay $3.50 for the first two cars.
All Of this serves to make US happy,
but there are scores Of other blessings
which could be dwelt on. This is
about the best state in the union and
will soon be the richest, II the present
lick IS kept up.

80 Years of Success
The Crystal Pharmacy Offers
a Remedy for Catarrh. The
Medicine Costs Moth
irp IL It Fails.

When a medicine effects a success

jority of cases, and when we offer that
medicine on our own personal guaran-
tee that it will cost the user nothing
If It does not completely relieve ca
tarrh, it is only reasonable that people
should believe US. or at least put our
claim to q practical test when we take
all the risk. These are facts which
we want the people to substantiate.
We want them 10 try Rexall Mucu-
Tone, medicine prepared from pre-
scription OF a physician with whom
catarTh was a specially, and who has
record of thirty years of enYiable sue
cess to his record.
We receive more good reports about
Rexall Mucu-Tone than we do Of all
other catarrh remedies sold in our
store, and if more people only knew
what a thoroughly dependable remedy
Rexall Mucu-Tone is, it would be the
only catarrh remedy we would nave
any demand for.
Rexall Mucu-Tone is quickly alb
sorbed and by its therapeutic effect
tends to disinfect and cleanse the en-
tire mucous membraneous tract, to de-
stroy and remove the parasites which
injure 6he membraneous tissues, to
soothe the irritation and heal the sore
ness, stop the mucous discharge, build
up strong, healthy tissue and relieve
che blood and system of diseased mat
/ ter. It's influence is toward stimu'
lating the muco-cells, aiding digestion
and improving nutrition until the
whole body vibrates with healthy &C
| tiVity, In a comparatiyely short time
it brings about noticeable gain in
weight, strength, good color and feel
ing of buoyancy.
We urge you to try Rexall Mucu
Tone, beginning a treatment today. A
any time you are not satisfied, simpl!
come and tell us, and we will quickl!
return your money without question o,
bubble. We have Rexall Mucu-Ton'
in two sizes, so cents and s1.00. Re

phosphate, kaolin and coquina, while
our principal products consist of citrus
fruits, lumber and timber, naval stores,
cotton, tobacco, beans, peanuts, celery,
lettuce, etc. Being almost surrounded
by water and our land spotted with
lakes and ripping streams, fishing is
great sport and industry with us.
Hunting, too, is good in season.
And our climate? Well, it's the
most glorious in the whole country.
Our perpetual sunshine, frequent
showers and unknown droughts, and
our gentle sea breezes all unite to
make it so. A food creates no less
interest than visit of Halley's comet
and it would embarrass our people to
ask them in company for definition

Cur children know more about
geometry and "sich" than they do of
snow balls and sleighs-in fact, the
average native Florida youth would
view the latter continuance with the
same wonderment as the tourist in,
spects the pyramids of Egypt.
On the other hand We suffer little
from intense heat, for the temperature
is no higher here than in the interior
centers of the north. The point of diff
ference is, our summers are longer.
The health of Florida is another
source of pride. Our people appear to
feel good and happy all the time.
So, gentlemen of the provinces, d"
heed this warning from the Florida
Financial and Industrial Record, and
come early to avoid the rush:
Florida lands will never be any
cheaper than at present. The rush of
people to Florida from all parts of the
country and the demand for well To-
Gated lands has caused values to adj
vance, and this advance will continue
indefinitely. Land that is today selling
at from $25 to 500 an acre will be
worth many times the present price
within very few years.
If you don't believe what The Jour
nal and others say about it, come and
see for yourselves.

Mr.. Jennings's
Frank Letter.

Hon. T. A. Jennings makes clear his
position on the questions affecting Es-
Gambia county and the state generally
which will come before the next legis-
lature. His letter to Mr.. Shackleford
of this city was published in The Jour
nal Tuesday.
Mr. Jennings does not think the
commission form OF government adj
visable for Pensacola He is strongly
opposed to the convict lease system,
believing that the convicts should be
worked on the public roads of the
state.
In short but clear words he says OF
the primary and railroad commission:
I shall unhesitatingly oppose any
legislation which would tend to weak
en- or destroy the powers Of the rail-
road commission or to render less
effective the primary laws Of the state.
This all sounds good to this popular
candidates many friends in this. and
other counties, but no more so than
this:
am favorable to lettering and inn
proving the public school system in
every way possible. / believe also
that the state ought to provide fund
for supplying free school books for
those deserving children of the state
whose parents or guardians are not
able to purchase them and l shall try
to have this done.
The education of the youth OF our
state is one of the greatest and god
lest questions before us today. This
is a progressive age and the young
man or woman who reaches maturity
whose education has been neglected
will feel the handicap in the grand
rush for place among their rivals. 1t
IS important then that the task of bet
tering our school system should be
entrusted to a man thoroughly pro-
gressive and capable, one who is in
full sympathy with the unframed
minds of our state.
MIR. Jennings believes in the Demo
cratic doctrine that tax on incomes
is but a just distribution of the bur-
dens of government He favors, there

a question which will come before the
next Florida legislature. He is op.
posed to the mo fence or stock law,
for Escambia.
Mr.. Jennings does not believe in
"cramming' the statute books with
every law the human mind may con.
ceive. But he will on the contrary,
seek to prevent the passage of such
bills as have no merit, or which condi,
tons do not demand.
