THE LAST DAY
To ANNOUNCE
FOR POSITION
CANDIDATES FOR MEMBER OF
RURAL CREDITS COMMISSION
MUST ANNOUNCE CANDIDACY
AND FILE NOTICE TODAY.

May 18th (today) is the last day for
candidates to announce for the COM
mission to go to Europe to study CO.
operative rural credits.
Announcements may be made by
writing to the Commercial Associa
ton, Pensacola, Fla, the following
letter:
Please announce me as a candidate
for the commission to go to Europe
under the direction of the Southern
Commercial Congress to study coop
erative rural credits"
Candidates will be announced Thurs
day, May 10th, and may be voted on
until June LIST. Any resident of the
counties west Of and including Jeffer-
son, who have had practical experience
in agriculture, is eligible as a candi-
date.
The Commercial Association Is very
DESTROYS that at least one candidate
announce from each of the counties
of jefferson and those lying west OF
Jefferson in Florida. The reason for
this is that a large number of candi-
dates will stimulate inquiries by each
county into the benefits and purposes
of cooperative rural credit. Those
who do not have time to send their
announcements by mail to the Com
mercial Association may telegraph
their names and addresses and the
fact that they desire to announce.

The speaker was enthusiastically
cheered at this juncture and 1t was
several minutes before he could con-
tinue.
Now, of my fromer opponent Con-
gresham Mays. When he decided to
withdraw he telegraphed me and Of
fered me his congratulations. After
serving in congress for many years he
dictated a telegram that would give
him no further chance to the office
which he was holding and in that
telegram congratulated me, his op-
ponent, and / want to thank him pub
licly.'
The speaker closed his address by
again thanking those who had as
sembled and to others for their sup
port during the campaign.
SHOOK HANDS WITH MANY.
When Mr.. Wilson concluded prac-
tically every one in the court house
came forward to shake hands with
and congratulate the next congress

ENJOY A
JOINT SOCIAL
EMPLOYED BOYS AND GRAMMAR
SCHOOL BOYS GATHERED AT
THE Y. M. C. A. LAST NIGHT.

One of the most successful events
held at the Y. NJ. c. A. during the
present season was the "goober'' social
enjoyed Jointly by the employed and
school boys. The price of admission
was bag of peanuts and by the time
the forty boys had gathered there
was goodly pile of peanuts which
We're used then in the games. A pea
nut spoon race was the first on the
program in which, after several
heats" Andrew Brown won the prize,
a sack of peanuts. The feature of the
evening was the peanut scramble
which Immediately followed. Over the
small pile of peanuts fell the boys
when the order to pile on was given
and when the smoke of battle cleared
away no peanuts were in evidence ex-
cept those which protruded from the
pockets of the boys. A guessing con-
test proved interesting when an at
tempt was made by all present to
guess the exact number of peanuts
seen in a glass jar. Louis Rosenau
was the successful one. The closing
contest was a unique one in that the
boys attempted to excel in eating
up a string on the end of which was
a peanut. The one getting the peanut
first to his mouth was declared the
winner. Willie Mead was the lucky
one. After refreshments were served,
consisting of peanut sandwiches and
cream, the boys dispersed after an
evening long to be remembered.
