sPIRED THREE QUARTERS OF A
CENTURY AGO. ..s---,

Brent, Fla, April IL, 1911.
Editor Pensacola Journal.
On the afternoon of the Sth instant
I enjoyed a treat that but few Pensa-
colians can have. I visited Mr.. F. NJ
Bombay, who was IS years old last
March, and is one of the oldest ante
bellum citizens of Pensacola today;
When he and 1 began to talk Of old
Pensacola, as it was rs years ago. II
seemed as though I was living over
again the happy boyhood days of my
life! Mr.. Bombay showed me his tool
chest which is, without doubt, one OF
the finest I ever saw. He was busy
soldering copper reservoir belonging
to the Charity hospital, and the way he
performed the work showed him to bo
a master Of his profession. When ne
told me Besentic Riobo was the man
under whom he served his apprentice
ship, l was not surprised at his pro-
flciency. Mr.. Bonifay's wife is a
daughter OF Mr.. and Mrs. William Da-
Wis both OF whom were my playmates
in the long long ago. Yes, Josephine
Commyns was the only daughter OF
Francis Commyns, he having six sons
and one daughter at the time OF which
as though they were kin to me. When
Ny. Bombay had finished his work ne
showed me his garden. and then We
took stroll up Romano street and
had the pleasure OF being once more IN
the dwelling houses OF Messrs. James
and Papa Gonzalez. Those two house
are 1877 and 127 on West Romano
street. Just think, Mr.. Editor OF my
being In those houses more than three
quarters OF a century ago, and stu
they are In a good state OF preserva-
ton, showing that the lumber OF 20
years ago was better than that OF thA
present! There are two other ante
bellum houses in Pensacola which i
visited. viz: the old DIR. Hulse home
and the old Bebs Collins house. Tha
first stands on the north side of Ro-
mana street, nearly opposite the home
OF Mr.. Bombay, and the second stands
on the corner OF Chase and Spring.
The Collins house has been removed
from its former site and has undergone
many changes. Now, / would be-
pleased to know how many people
there are living in Pensacola today who
can talk TO me, and verify what / have
written about the grandest city on tho
globe. Only few more days, and all
Of us old ante-beIlum landmarks Will
have passed away. and there will be no
one left to describe the old Spanish
town by the sea!
Wishing you all success,

THE WORK ON :
CELL BLOCK
ALMOST DONE
ACCORDING TO CONTRACTOR
WILL BE COMPLETED BY SAT-
uRDAY NIeHT-PRIsoNERs TO
BE TRANSFERRED TO NEW JAIL
EARLY PART OF NEXT WEEK.

According to the statement made by
the contractor for the building at the
meeting of the board of county com
missioners last night, the work on the
cell block at the county jail will be
completed by Saturday night of this
week, and it is probable that the pris-
oners will be transferred early next
week.
The plumbing and other detail part
of the work on the cell block has been
finished for some time, and as soon as
the whole section is completed the
prisoners can be transferred and the
remaining portion of the old jail build
ing can be torn away, which will
greatly facilitate and expedite the
work of completing the building.
The contractor has complained al
along that the presence of the part OF
the old building which is now standing
has delayed and interfered with 'he
work and caused great deal of in
convenience.
The transferring of the prisoners
will also mean that the county will bc
in position to properly handle it's pris-
oners, which has not been the case
since the beginning Of the new build
ing.
