Horses and Mnles

There was fairly representative horse suc-
tion here in San Francisco during the week
The offerings comprised that class OF drsfters
for which the country districts have been care
fully cOmbed. The principal consignment was
made by A. s. Plat from Utah and comprised
draft horses and mares from 1.5u0 10 l.ouU
pounds. From our viewpoint. we considered
them overfat and buyer viii have to accept a
lower scale of weight after weeks work. The
S and fairly representative draft type
The entire consignment was guaranteed sound,
but reported being rejected the fol
lowing day after closer inspection
Prices paid were fairly within our quotations
The highest price, ss35, was paid for ,oo bay team
6 years old. weighing around $500 pounds
Other well matched teams ranging in ages from
TO sold for S630. $3.50. S505, $500 These
teams weighed from 5000 10 3.1O0 pounds
Other teams not showing class or weight ranged
in value from S425 to $3.50. A year old lilly
brought $270. Chunks weighing from 400 to
1.e00 sold from $500 to S2I5; heavy drafters'
from $3.50 to $34o
while the prices paid were considered high
for San Francisco, IL was generally conceded
that they ruled from S25 to $50 lower than the
same class of stock would sell for at country
points. Several purchases were made By dealers
to resell in the farming districts
All other grades of horses from heavT delivery

SUPERVISOR ADDRESSES LET
TIERS TO J. {. cONCANNON,
PROMISING THAT OVERLOOKED
NAMES WILL BE INCLUDED.

Thos. D. White, supervisor of census
for the third district of Florida, has
addressed a letter to J. E. Concannon,
in similar vein and with similar pur-
port to that received Friday by Presi-
dent H. H. Thornton, and which as
sured Pensacola people that any and
all names which may have accidentally
been not included in the regular cen
sus count, will be properly inserted
and certified to, providing of course
that it can be truthfully shown that
the names as found by the special CITY
enumerators were not covered by the
regularly-selected government enumer-
ators.
The only way that your city can
get those who were left off is to take
the names and numbers of the pre-
cincts in which they live and send
them to me- writes the supervisor,
land l will come down and have the
old enumerators do this work over
again"
The spirit of cooperation thus oh
tanned and shown by the census super
visor will at least have the effect Of
having everybody counted. The old
enumerators, paid by the name will be
asked and required 10 go over the list
and precincts again, in which the
names were found which the city mer
heard were not included in the govern.

IN MEMORlAM
Capt James Stearns.
>>>>>>>><<>< 80

In the death of Capt. James Stearns,
which occurred Thursday, May 18th,
Pensacola has lost one of its oldest
bar pilots and highly respected
citizen.
+. He was born in Warrington, Fla, in
1915, of New England ancestry. His
father, Thos Stearns, was born in st.
Adams, VT, and his mother, Susan
Stearns, in Boston, Mass.
His parents came to Warrington in
1928, the father having been sent to
start the Pensacola navy yard by the
government
James Stearns passed his life in
Pensacola and was respected and
loved by all. In 1872 he was appoint
ed a bar pilot and served in that ca
pacity until his death, but for the last
five years he was not in active service
owing to poor health. His death was
quite sudden and caused by fatty de-
generation of the heart.
Though not member of any church
he was at heart believer In the
Christian faith and contributed to all
churches, and by his broad-minded
tolerance and quiet charity made
friends Of all creeds. He was espe-
cially loved by the children, many
weeping little ones crowding around
his coffin for a last farewell to their
old friend. The funeral was from the
house, 20 North Baylen street, and he
was laid away m st. Johns cemetery
Friday, May goth, 1910.
Rev. Mr.. Gavin. of the NJ. z. church,
preached a very able and sympathetic
sermon. The pallbearers were life
long friends and fellow pilots.
Captain Stearns leaves to mourn his
loss three brothers, John, Thomas and
Benz. F. Stearns, and one sister, Miss
Elizabeth Virginia Stearns, all of Pen
sacola.
81 know not where his islands lift,
Their silent palms in prayer,
I only know l cannot drift
Beyond His love and care"
