old ST. 10 To,
BE RESTORED
TO MAP OF FLA.
TOWN WIPED OUT FIFTY YEARS
AGO BY YELLOW FEVER AND
BUSINESS ADVERslH-PRoMo-
TON COMPANY is BUSY.
Special to The journal.

Columbus, Ga, March 21.-Port st.
10, Fla, a town that was wiped out
over half a century ago through a
combination OF yellow fever and eco
nomic conditions, has been restored to
tho map, and if the efforts of a land
company and a railroad company that
are now behind it are successful, the
place win be one of the leading gulf
ports.
There is a live Columbus end to the
present resurrection of the st. 10, for,
along with the revival of the port the
railroad company interested, the Apa-
lachicola & Northern, proposes to
handle Columbus freight in wholesale
quantities to the new" port, hav-
ing made a proposition to the Chatta-
hoochee steamboat lines as to transfer
Of freight that is said to be agreea-
BILE.
The old port Of st. 10 has history
interesting, and even romantic. 1t was
settled nearly a century ago, and
quite a town sprang up. One of the
first five railroads in the United States
was built from st. 10 to a point on the
Apalachicola river The railroad tariff
was almost as crude as the road itself,
for five cents was the charge for haul
ing bale of cotton the entire length
of the line. That such an enterprise
failed was not so strange, and when it
did so it was the death blow to the old
town of st. 10.
Then the yellow fever came, being
brought by a ship that was driven in
by storm, and what few people left
In the place departed hurriedly. It is
said that some Of the material used in
building the railroad was afterwards
employed in building the old Georgia
railroad, and certain it is that the
stringers were taken up and shipped
away to some point.

FINISHED SEPT. I.

lett Brothers OF Mobile were the
successful bidders for the erection Of
the modern three-story brick building
which is to be used as a convent by
the Catholics of Pensacola The price
was $4,000.
The Catholics have been deeply IN
terested in making arrangements TO
erect the new building and q few
weeks ago the report was in circula-
ton that the contract had been given,
but at that time the specifications and
plans had not been given out. The
bids were received yesterday and the
contract awarded to the above named
firm. There were a numbeg Of local
firms submitting bids for the work but
the Mobile concern offered the lowest
figures and naturally received the con-
tract.
The building is to be located on the
corner of Tenth avenue and LaRua
streets and is to be a modern structure
In every detail. the fixtures and equip
ment being specially pla aned for COM
fort and convenience. The building Is
to be of brick and will contain three
stories, and be as nearly hre-proof as

structed.
Work viii begin at once and the
contract calls for the completion by
September /.
The sub contracts. including the
plumbing, wiring and other work have
not been given out but the contractors
will arrange this Immediately as the
time limit is not SUFFICIENT to allow any
loss of time. The contractors, although
they are Mobile men, say that the ma
terials to be used in the building WIN
be bought in the local market when
ever it is possible to do so. The work
men to be employed upon the construc-
ton of the building win also be local
people and the contractors say that
this rule viii be followed as far as
possible.
When completed the convent VIII
