THINK OF IT

Stop and think a moment about that

You must have been rundown when
you got it, for IL you had been per-

Take our advice about this-what
you really need is to build up your
strength and enrich your blood; then
the cough will disappear. We know
it.

THESAN CARLOS
PROMINENT PENsAcoIAN, IN At
TENDANCE AT RECENT JACK
SON DAY BANQUET AT WASH
INeToN, o. c., SAYS SILVER
SERVICE BANQUET AT SAN
CARLOS WAS BETTER OF THE
TWO.

Among the numerous compliments
which have been paid Mr.. Hervey on
his great silver service banquet oc-
curing at the San Carlos hotel on
the night Of December 18th, none have
been more appreciated than a par
ticularly fine one recently received
from Hon. T. A. Jennings.
Mr.. Jennings. who was present at
the famous jackson day banquet given
on January Sth, at Washington d. c.,
at which there were TO guests, says
that in his estimation, the. San Carlos
banquet, in general excellence. equaled
if not exceeded this great affair Of
national interest, which occurred at
the Raleigh, one of Washington's lead
ing hotels.
He has compared the two menus
and finds that of the San Carlos the
better of the two, and he says that
there is no comparison to be made
relative to the decorations, very little
being in evidence. in fact, at the jack
son day banquet.
The only feature in which the Pen
sacola affair was surpassed by that at
Washington was the number OF guests
present
It is this variety of praise which
opens the eyes. occasionally, of PEN
sacola people as to just what kind Of
hotel Manager Hervey is giving the
public. with his extremely able man
agement.

HEROES IN Cray.
BY Rosa Lee Mabirs.


A white haired man sits thinking
OF war times passed away;
He's dreaming of his comrades
The soldier boys. in gray.
He sees again the battle,
He sees the bloody fray
He sees brave heroes falling,
The blue. and then the gray.
Then. he hears the bugle call.
AS on that fateful day
They marched away to battle,
Those dear, brave boys in gray.
And then the war is over,
But when he came away,
He left dear comrades sleeping.
The boys who wore the gray
Then he dreamed of his sweetheart,
His promised bride so true,
He found her in the church yard
For she was sleeping too.
Yes! She was like his comrades.
Those who had passed away
The men so proud and noble.
The men who wore the gray.
Tears fall as he sits dreaming.
It seems the other day
Since his life's been blighted, and
He used to wear the gray.

GOOD SUGGESTION FOR
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION

Editor Pensacola Journal.
I read with a great deal of interest
the duties of each officer Of the Com
mercfal Association.
Pardon the suggestion I make, but
I am booster for Pensacola and not
a knocker.
A big advertisement for our Deep
Water City would be a bulletin board
at Flomaton Junction with proper
heading for departure of trains to
Pensacola and space to report whether
on time or late. There is no bulletin
board there which would be Of great
convenience TO the travelling public.
l viii ask for permission to put up
such a board and If permission is
given and board furnished will see ii
is put in a convenient place. Thank
ing you for space and attention.

-at least the best. if not the only
mother the child can have. In this
way have at times saved both
mother and child. For the sake Of the
child the mother will at least strive ia
appear virtuous. It is not a rare
event for e father and son to be en-
gagged knowingly to each other ia
crime. It is never the case with
mother and daughter"

Of the land. but it is the infexible law
of nature.

"a Soul Searching Question
For Every Man.

10 fact in life is really more melan-
eholy than that high ideals 50 often
seem utterly unsuited to actual condi-

The conscientious business man has
this fact forced on him in many of his
dealings. He may know the right
thing to do and want. to do it. but his
business success is. at stake, and -he
business methods and conditions are
hxed.
He might like to reform the methods
and conditions. but that is impossible.
He must decide whether he win con-
form to the conditions Of competition
and succeed, or stand by his convfc-

he must make every day-yes. 5 hum

Which is really the success and
which really the failure?
And the most pitiful part Of it Is
that those with the highest ideals, the
keeness sense of right and the acutest
conscience are the ones who must SUI

them all up and be so spiritually dead
that your carrion stinks to the stars?
What's the answer?
What is your answer for yourself?
Each must answer it every day.
Is it your head you consult or your
