wonderful influence for good in the
entire city, and will project the same
influence throughout the country.
Pensacola is at a crucial period in
her development.
THE eyes of the nation are turned
towards the gulf coast. Pensacola is
in the thoughts of many. Her hotels
and boarding houses are thronged
with visitors who are listening, who
are making reports to every section
of the United States. They report
what they hear; they tell what they
see; they draw their own conclusions
from the street talk. Every word ut
tered by man, woman or child has it's
ent condition of the city, but on its
future.

and knocking on the part of the citi-
zenship will spread its influence TO
the remotest part of the nation.
