IS IT THE LAST OF US.
COMMUNICATES

When we shake off this mortal coil
and our bodies, at least. are on the
level in Mother Earth is it all? ,Judg-
ing from the way some of our cnme-
teries are looked after by relatives
and one-time friends, some people
think so. They seem to thin: that
when we have fulfilled or mission On
earth, and in some cases cleft bread and
to spare" behind, that, like the mighty
oak, as it falls, so shall it lie. 1t IS
a fact worth mentioning that COWS
Craze and horses roam in one Of the
cemeteries of our city. the owrsrs Of
which represent the wealthicSt con-
gregation we have. BY hard woTl; on
part of few the approach was made
good and the street beautif;ed. a
cemetery, the frs tabode of the dead
to be kissed by the sun as it peeps
from the hills Of Maryland; a come
terry almost surrounded by the ma
iestic Potomac and it's tributa lies; a
beautiful spot where undistulbcd IN
sleep profound, unheeding there lay
the remains of some of the roblsst
sons and daughters of Erin, and
many native born. Is it possible when
we have kissed the death-cnilled
cheek, we have pressed them 20 our
bosom fer the last time, when we have
gone to the graveyard and have shed
tears OF sorrow over loved ones, that
;his is all? Do we care whether win
tsr,in it's fury bedecked that mound
with wreckage of nature? Do we care
whether the marble slab with which
we marked his grave tumbles and
brushes? Do we care Whether the
calIous hoof OF cattle tramp UPON the
earth above him? Some one cares If
we don't. Though sleeping theil last
sleep remember that it is your moth
cr, father, sister, brother or child
still, and perhaps you will meet them
in that solemn realm where death is
unknown and SORROWS never cojle.

GOVERNOR WILSON'S
SPEECH LAST NIGHT.

The speech of Governor Wilson at Il
dinner Gin New York last night was to
the point, and shows that as President
of the United States he will be the
right man in the right place. He man
ifcsted the spirit of Andrew Jackson
in his defiance of the money harons
who. it is believed, are endeavoring u
bring financial distress upon the coun-
try in order to cast odium upon
Democratic administration. While
the Governor uses the word gibbet L.
an accommodated sense, he announc-
ed his determination to do all possible
to bring to punishment people who
would mulct the country into distress
for political purposes.
Governor Wilson has taken the bull
by the horns, and it is believed he hes
been raised up for a duty which should
have been performed by his predeces-
SorS.
During the speech he let it be
known that he will deal summariiy
with any man or set of men who I'M
dertake to upset the business inter
ests of the country by precipitatln@
a panic. The President elect was talk
ing about reports that has reached his
ears that his assumption OF the office
of President would disturb the bust
ness of the country and cause a
P&sic.
&c Governor continuing, said:
=. any man undertakes to precl.
,it.ste panic, 1 promise him q gibbet
rs. Ugh as Hannah. don't moan q
aal gibbet, because there would be
Jain after it was applied, but ! Will
put upon him mark that will De felt
as long as there are members OF his
family surviving"
Governor Wilson urged his hearers
to forget that they ever were partl-.
sans, declaring that ii they did not
go away purposing to put more force
into the best things in the nation,
they had wasted their evening.

In other words. the state allows you
90 cents a day for your labor. I also
allow you that sum. The enclosed
check is payment in full. This is the
first money you ever earned in your
life. Twelve dollars will pay that
part Of your fine that has not been
worked out. That will leave you 81

Come to see me and 1 viii find some
honest work for you to do. What you
have done in the past has been for

depends on yourself. You now have a
clean sheet on which to write your
future"

HARDY IS VERY
ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER The FAIR
FIELD AGENT OF PENSACOLA
COMMERCIAL ASSOCIATION,
WHO Is GATHERING EscAMBlA
COUNTY EXHIBIT, FINDS PROS.
PEcTs UNUSUALLY BRIGHT

L. W. Hardy, field agent for the
Pensacola Commercial Association,
who Is gathering the Escambia county
exhibit for the Pensacola Interstate
Fair this year, was in the city yes
terday for the purpose of conferring
with General Manager Iillard on
matters in his department.
Mr.. Hardy was interviewed by a
of The Journal and
said that, while he had nothing spe-
every farmer the fact that he wanted
every farmer in this county to con-
tribute some article to the fair this
year.
"Of course 1t is impossible for me
to meet every farmer in the county
personally said Mr.. Hardy, but
am going to see as many of them as
possible and I hope that those whom
do not have the pleasure Of seeing
will take as much interest as the 9TH
ers and that each of them will en-
deavor to contribute something to Es-
cambia's exhibit, which believe will
be the best we have ever had in this
county"
Mr.. Hardy said that he would also
urge all of the farmers In the county
to remember that the special car on
the railroad will be run on October
%, to bring the exhibits to Pensacola
and everybody is urged to bear this
date in mind and to make preparation.
so that there will be no delay and so
that everyone having an article Tor
the county exhibit will have it ready
at this time so that 1t can be hauled
here with the rest Of the exhibit and
returned free of charge.
Mr.. Hardy was in an unusually
enthusiastic mood yesterday and said
that the Escambia county exhibit this
year would prove to be an eye opener
and would be long remembered by
the agricultural enthusiasts at the fair
this year.
