OUTSIDER ENDORSES THE
CANDIDACY OF T. A. JENNING
Westville, Fla, March II.

WestvilIe, Fla, March II.
Editor Pensacola Journal. 'r
Will you please be so kind as to al
low an outsider, so far as citizenship
is concerned, a little space in your
valuable columns for the expression
of a few sentiments on an important
subject?
While it is true that in person am
not citizen of your county, at any
rate, not yet, my long acquaintance
with Pensacola, her genial and enter
prising citizens and by no means least,
my daily perusal Of the columns of the
philosophical, progressive and enter
p:iSing Pensacola Journal, causes me
to feel an interest in the business and
political life of Pensacola and en-
virons scarcely second to that of
bona fide citizen.
Therefore, it was with feelings of
sincere and lively interest, not I'M
mixed with feelings of regret, that
recently read the announcement of
Hon. T. A. Jennings's candidacy for
the Office of representative of Escam-
bia county. My regret arises from
the fact that I am not permitted to
cast my vote in Escambia county, as
yet. for it would be one OF the greatest
pleasures Of my life to be permitted
the privilege Of casting my vote for
Mr.. Jennings. Sometimes the per-
Torrance Of q public duty carries with
it a sense of pain and regret. Anon
we are enabled to perform our duty
with pleasure and enthusiasm, born of
our knowledge of the justice and
righteousness of our cause. And such
would be the feelings that would ami
mate my mind and heart could I be
permitted the privilege of casting my
vote for Hon. T. A. JENNINGS.
All who know that DISTINGUISHED
citizen. and they are legion, will Mt
Cnce admit that so far as the ability
to represent his county in the halls of
LEGISLATION is concerned, Hon. T. A
Jennings possesses that ability 10 an
eminent degree Endowed bv nature
with a pleasing and attractive person
alitv the experiences of strenuous
and successful life, together with those
mental acquisitions and moral endCw-
ments of a high order, all combined in
one personality, presents US with A
character Of supreme confidence and
warm est admiration. Such is the per
scnalitv and character of Hon T. 4.
Jennings, a man whom to know is to
love and respect. A broad minded.
liberal hearted, progressive spirited
manly man! That is T. \. Jennings.
And he is a candidate for Office a. last.
Begged, pulled and persuaded by
host of enthusiastic friends until he
could refuse no longer, and I,ecarno a
candidate soliciting tire. support of his
fellow citizens, candidate for whom
all men. masses and classes, can cast
their votes with a pleased sense Of
having performed a patriotic public
duty
Hoping that these sentiments truth
fully expressed may add an element Of
success TO the above discussed cam
didacy, and that Fscambia's favorite
son may be elected with a rousing. ma
jority.

Query: If you can't eat shoe
leather steak, is it wiser to drop it on
your plate and be giggled at, or drop
it into your well and be sick?"
Our experience has been that there
is no better beef than the native piney
woods steer, when fattened, as they
are for this market. The meat is ten
der and juicy and unquestionably Of
superior quality to that shipped in
to the south by the great packing
houses of the north and west.
Our advice to our Pensacola con-
temporary is to quit being a stag, quit
eating sole leather steak and come
up into Alabama where we raise cat
tie enough to supply the home market
with the choicest beef without draw
ing on the packing houses of the
west.
Why there are not more people en-
gagged in cattle growing, when they
could realize fancy prices for their
