long distances to vote for a man as
did the friends of Hon. w. A. Blount
yesterday. Quite a number OF men
who still hold their citizenship in this
city, but. who are engaged in business
which makes it necessary for them to
remain at distance from the place,
came here yesterday for no other rea-
son than to cast their votes for the
Pensacola candidate.
Among those who made the trip to
Pensacola for that purpose were:
Judge Charles B. Parkhill, of the su-
preme court, who came from Tallahas-
see; Captain ]. Ed. O'Brien, president
Of the National Bar Pilots Association,
who came from Washington, D. c.;
Phillips ]. Carter, who came from
New Orleans, La, and A NJ. Cohen

In addition to those mentioned were
a number of Others who came from
other places in order to fend their

truth were known. the reason for their
unceremonious removal would probably
be that their usefulness was destroyed
because OF some mental worry, bodily

things. as we all know, are the most

to failure with the throng Of ''foaters"

others or to themselves, constantly
growing older and less useful, with no

Every man requires from every other

man can use or get the best that is in
himself until he is first free from all
fretful indispositions and worries.
