ING AND THINKS MUCH GOOD
WAS ACCOMPLISHED.

Secretary q. A Waterman, Of the
Commercial Association. who has Just
returned from Atlanta. where he at
tended the Southern Commercial Con-
gress, is very enthusiastic over the
meeting and believes that much good
has been accomplished Mr.. Water
man says that he gathered a great
deal OF valuable information, and by
the exchange OF ideas with the COM
mercial secretaries and others present
he thinks he has secured some ideas
which wiz result in benefits for this
city.
Mr.. Waterman says that It was the
concensus OF opinion Of the best in
formed men. and those with the widest
experience IN the line Of advertising
and building cities. that the best re-
suits are obtained from classified ad-
vertisfng IN the daily papers. and from
magazine and display advertising
Among the Representatives at this
congress were some men of vast ex-
perience In the advertising business,
and especially in the matter Of giving
publicity to cities, and this question
was discussed q great deal during the
sessions
Chas- n. SherriII's Joke.
Mr.. Waterman says that one of the
most impressive points that was
brought out during the meeting was
that made by Chas. II. Sheriff., minis
ter to the Argentine Republic, and
which was illustrated by an amusing
anecdote- Mr.. Sheriff. was speaking
about the work to be accomplished by
such an organization as this, and in
urging the necessity for real hard
work In order to obtain results, he told
Of a city man who was talking to a
farmer and among other things, the
city man asked the farmer: DO your
cows give naiIk?" No" replied the
farmer. by gosh, we have to take 1t
away from them" The application to
commercial organizations, Mr.. Water
man thinks. is obvious
PsnsacolIans Honored.
M Waterman states that at the
session Of the congress at which Pres
ident Taft presided. that when the
state flag was escorted to the platform
there were ten escorts. four Of whom
were Pensacolians. They were A III.
Avery. H Il D'Alemberte. T. L.
Cant and L s. Brown. This speaks
unusually well for Pensacola. when the
fact that the entire south was repre-
setned at the congress Is taken into
consideration.
Pensacola was well represented at
the congress. the following being q

this city: G. A Waterman. L. s.

checked it to Carroll where he went
and where it came into his possession.
He then checked it to Missouri Valley,
as he was going there to take posi-
ton. After its arrival at the Valley
the travelling salesman who was on
the watch for the satchel, found it in
the baggage room and claimed it, but
as he had no check for it, it could
not be delivered to him, although he
identified it sufficiently to convince
the agent that the satchel belonged to
him. Afterwards young Rettman ap-

had a check to reinforce his claim,

over to him and later he was arrested,
charged with the theft of it. He has

CREDITABLE NATURE
Chicago Ladies' Quartet, First Number
on Lecture Course, Delights
Large Audience Last Evening
WoLINIsT A PROFESSIONAL
Only Thing to Mar Evening Was the
Unsishtly. Appearance Of In.
terror Of Opera House.

The first number of the lecture
course was given last night at the
opera house, splendid audience be-
ing on hand. The entertainment was
furnished by the Chicago Ladies' or.
chestra, and was of a creditable char.
acter, and some think exceptional. The
program was made up of flute solos,
cornet duets, horn quartets, violin Sc
lections, reading and wound up with
trip to Coney Island. No doubt but
that while most of the performers were
amateurs there were a few profess
sionals among them. The reader had
a bright, cheerful manner and her Sc
lections were new and pleasing, al
though her voice lacked somewhat in
volume. The singing was somewhat
of disappointment, although the
same young lady proved an expert in
playing the piano. The violin director
and performer on the flute are entitled
to be classed among professionals.
On the whole the entertainment was
success and was highly appreciated.
The only thing to mar the pleasure of
the entertainment was the unsightly
appearance of the interior of the opera
house itself. We trust that by this
time next year We will shave a new
play house that will be a credit to
DenisOn.
