ENTHUSIASTIC
OVER SMOKER
CHAIRMAN OF HOUSE AND EN-
TERTAINMENT COMMITTEE or
THE COMMERCIAL AssocIA-
TON SAYS cELEsRATIoN WILL
BE AN IMPORTANT OCCASION
FOR PENSACOLA.

That the celebration of the Com
nnercfal Association to be given at the
San Carlos hotel next Tuesday night
to celebrate the close OF the whirl-
wind campaign for new members will
be one of the best advertisements
Pensacola has ever had and will be
productive of much lasting good for
the city Is the opinion of B. S. Will
liams. chairman of the house and
entertainment committee of the Assoc
citation, and one of Pensacolais most
consistent and ardent boosters.
In an interview. on the subject. Mr..
Williams said:
"One hundred and ninety three
members January LIST, four February
18th. and on the night of the 18th. the
members of the Commercial Associa-
ton OF Pensacola will meet In the a.u-
ditorium Of the San Carlos hotel at
1880 for a joIlihcation.
'Tt is the endeavor OF the ofdcerS
and directors of the association to do
things, therefore, the set speeches at
this meeting will be brief. The time
will be given over to a plan of enter
tainment arranged under the direction
OF Mr.. w. S. Garfield, to the enjoyment
Of the smoker. and general discussion.
One of the most notable events in
the recent history of the United
States was the Silver Jubilee held In
New Orleans at the hight of recent
yellow fever epidemic. The spirit OF
the people was shown from the fact
that the crowds on the streets who
were taking part In the jubilee were
greater than at any Mardi Gras carni-
val festival.
IF your neighbor meets you on the
street and tells you you look badly
and two or three other persons during
the day make the same remark, you
are apt to be sick before night.
At the beginning Of this campaign
for members in the Commercial Asso-
citation. heard g citizen of Pensacola
say that it was useless-the member
ship could not be increased under the
conditions. The result shows that the
conditions were not as this person
thought, and Tuesday night Of next
week will demonstrate that the mark
set was not too high.
Il prophesy that If a majority of the
members of the association attend this
meeting (Which will mean between
800 and 400) and nearly 1000 guests
invited by the association also attend
there wifi be injected into the citizens
of Pensacola a spirit of optimism, hope
and confidence which must bring re-
suits in the development of the city
But greater influence will go out OF
Pensacola and reach the people OF
this country who are seeking homes
in the southland, and opening for bust
ness where the spirit of cooperation
and development-get together and
stick together-prevaiIs.
As chairman of the committee or
house and entertainment of the As
ISOLATION, / wish to add my persona
invitation to that of the association tt
those who have been invited to at
tend the meeting Tuesday night al
1880 IS guests, and to emphasize Il
the members Of the association thu
importance of being present to aid ii
the entertainment of these guests
There is to be. no money talk; the
meeting is solely for the purpose o.
celebration. and is to be held at the
time of the monthly meeting of the
association"
