Of Course.
The San Carlos, Pensacola's half
million dollar hotel, opened for bust
ness last Tuesday. Should and doubt
less will have big run during Mardl
Gras.-Marianna Times-Courier.
AS Good as any Other.
The war ships will attend the Mardi
Gras celebrations at New Orleans and
Pensacola. They are costly special
ties, but that is about the only pur-
pose they can be made to fit in
Ocala Banner.
Pensacola to ST. Petersburg.
1t seems that Florida has two flying
machines to her credit, and it might
be we'll for her to set up the first
regular line: combination of the two
inventors might run trips between
Pensacola and st. Petersburg for
keeps.-Jacksonville Times Union.
Something Always Doing.
The Pensacola papers are booming
an auto run from that city to Mobile
and at the same time they are
plugging away for the usual Mardl
Gras relaxation. There is nearly al
ways the evidence of something doing
in Pensacola.-Miami Metropolis.
They Come to Pensacola.
New Orleans, Mobile and Pensacola
will each have Mardi Gras On the 7th
and Sth. Pensacola now celebrates
this festive event on so great a scale
that it Is no longer necessary for our
people to go beyond there for good
Times-Courier.
Judge Reeves Receivers.
Judge and Mrs. L. J. Reeves left for
their home in Pensacola Monday
night, the judges health having i'm
proved to the extent that it was
thought he could make the trip with
safety. AS soon as he is able he will
begin an active campaign in the in
terest of his candidacy for the United
States senate.-Bonifay Advertiser.
She's Good to Look At.
Brother Frank L. Mayes remem-
bered US with one of Priscus' XI man
dates to be present at the general
merry-making at Pensacola, his capital
city, on Monday and Tuesday next,
7th and Sth of Feb. It's worth a trip
to the Deep Water City to see the
fairy in person that ornaments the
courteous command that enlivens our
desk.-St. Augustine Meteor.
The Cost of careIessness.
A lady in Pensacola stepped into a
hole in a defective sidewalk. The
city has just paid her $3.50 damages,
with interest, in settlement of her
claim. Tampa has been very fortunate
in this respect. Although 1t has toler-
ated bad sidewalks and a mantrap of
a bridge for years, it has not been
called upon to pay many damage
judgments. This, however, is no
guarantee of continued immunity. The
worst is yet to come.-Tampa Tribune.
Comes to Pensacola. - i
Mr.. Grover Cleveland Hall, who has
been managing editor of the Selma
Times for the past thirteen months,
left Sunday morning for Pensacola,
Fla, where he has been given a splen-
did position as editorial writer and
for The Pensacola Jour
nal, the leading paper in Florida out
side of Jacksonville. Mr.. Hall is a
man of ability and the
Journal notes his departure from Sci.
ma with regret. He will make
good" if you give him half chance

Gambia an able and progressive repre-
sentative. We hope Mr.. Mayes will |
announce.-Quincy Times.

garrison stationed at Fort Barrancas,
near Pensacola, has invented a. flying |
machine in which he assembled, a few |
days ago, to height of one hundred !
