The Draining Of Yocona.

We call especial attention to
the petition published in this is
sue for the draining of Yocona
river. The successful compile
ton of this proposed work will
throw open for cultivation about
twenty thousand acres of the
most fertile farming land in the
county, the cultivation of which
under present conditions, is an
uncertain proposition. This en-
terprise is receiving the support
of many of the most conservative
farmers and business men of the
comfy and the endorsement of a
majority Of land owners.
The success which has followed
this drainage system in other
counties and states is all the evil
dence necessary of the many adj
vantages that will accrue for the
health and prosperity of every
citizen of that entire section.
Let the good work receive the
hearty endorsement of every
citizen and in a short time we
will see that section blossom with
with prosperity.

ing Col. C II. Keys died at his
home in Oxford last Wednesday
night at s O'Clock. Notwithstand

On Tuesday afternoon of this
week, the Woman's Missionary
Society met at the home OF Mrs.
Mona Wallace. An interesting
program was rendered. One
special feature of the meeting was
the presentation OF n life mem
bership from the Foreign Board
to Miss Anna Porter, the Presby
terial treasurer OF the Oxford
Presbytery. a position she has 80
ably filled for u number of years,
and the honor was justly due her.
After the program delightful re-
freshments were served.
This has been without doubt
the hardest winter We have ex-

sequence of this fact the roads
are unquestionably worse than
for several years. There has not
been a day or week since De-
cem5er that work OF any char
acter could have been attempted
on the public highways. 1t is
utterly useless to expect the i'm
possible. IL is the full de,ermi-
nation OF the new Supervisors to
do the best for the puolic o. this
question whenever they can do
at all. In the mean
time they will be glad OF any

any citizen has to lay before
them.

Scores Of friends of the deceased at

in which the aged and prominent citi-

The funeral services were conducted
by Rev. Grant Krauff, rector Of St

Interment was in the family bury

CITY COUNCIL
TO CONSIDER
THE HOSPITAL
COMMITTEE WILL APPEAR BE-
FORE THIS BODY TONIGHT AND
ASK FOR AN APPROPRIATION
TOWARD ESTABLISHING CHAR
~ INSTITUTION.

When the city council convenes to-
night at 1880 for the first regular ses-
sion of the present month, the most
interesting matter. so far as is known,
to come before that body will be the
charity hospital proposition.
The committee, appointed at the
meeting of citizens held in the council
chamber Monday afternoon. and which
appeared before the board Of county
commissioners last night in the in
terest of the proposed hospital, will
appear before the council at this ses-
sion and ask that when the budget is
made up in October an appropriation
for the building and maintaining Of a
general hospital be made.
Another request for an appropria-
ton will also probably be brought 20
the council at this time, this being one
from the Pensacola Interstate Fair As
ISOLATION for $500 for the Pensacola In
terstate Fair this year.
Besides these matters the council
will dispose of the regular business
on the calendar.

A GUN THOUGHT
TO Be UNLOADEO
CAUSES DEATH
NEGRO BOY UNDER TEN YEARS
OF AGE Is KILLED AT MUSCo-
GEE BY DISCHARGE OF RIFLE
WITH WHICH HE AND AN
OTHER SMALL BOY WERE
PLAYING.

Another unfoaded gun story, very
much like the majority Of them, is
contained in an occurrence which hap
pened at Muscogee on Monday and
which was yesterday investigated by
Probation officer Paulsen, and which
resulted in the death of little negro
boy.
Two little negroes, both under ten
years of age, were playing with %
calibre rifle, which they supposed to be
unloaded, when in some manner it
was accidentally discharged, the bull
let entering the ear of one of the boys,
who died within two hours.
Mr.. Paulsen also tells of another
shooting affair in which the parties
concerned were small negro boys.
which occurred near Olive last week,
and which he was also called upon to
investigate.
Two negro boys got into a dispute
over marble game, when one of them
went off and got a single barrel shot
gun, and upon his return a struggle
for the possession of the weapon en-
sued, in which the gun was discharged.

one of the boys. However, on this
occasion, the shot did not prove fatal

HARDY TELLS
ABOUT HOW HE
SPENT THE 4TH
FIELD AGENT SAYS THERE is NO
PLACE ON EARTH LIKE THE
LAND OF FLOWERS FOR cELE-
BRATINe INDEPENDENCE DAY,

L. W. Hardy, field agent for the
Pensacola Commercial Association.
who is spending practically all of his
time now working upon the Escambia
county exhibit for the Pensacola In
terstate Fair this fall, was in the city
yesterday afternoon and said that
things were looking good for the ex-
hibit
However, Mr.. Hardy could not be in
duced to talk much about the exhfbir
or anything else except the splendid
time he had the Fourth of July. He
said he started out by visiting Prof.
Tate's camp on the Escambia, river.
where a big barbecue and fish fry had
been prepared and where a big crowd
was royalty entertained by Prof. Tate.
During the day those who cared TO
enjoyed themselves bathing, boat ridin z
and fishing, and Mr. Hardy saws this
was one of the most delightful DAYS
he ever spent and convinced him more
than ever that there was no place like
the Land Of Flowers" to spend the
Fourth.
However, he said he had only begun
to celebrate the day when this was
over for he went that night to a meet
lrg Of the Farmers Union at the home
OF c. W. Mcdonald at Cottage Fill,
Where he spent one OF the most en-
tcyable evenings he had ever spent.
Besides splendid program, boun-
teous supper was spread and fireworks
were set off in the yard.
One of the interesting features, he
said, was the singing of The Star
Spangled Banner" by the entire crowd.
Besides a splendid musical program
and some readings and recitations
some splendid addresses were deliv-
cred. among them being one by DR..
Brink of this city, whose subject was
The Advance Medicine Has Made
Since July 4, 1776."
Another interesting address was that
of G. C. Hardy on The Honesty of
John Paul Jones'
It is needless to add, however, that
while Mr.. Hardy was enjoying the
Fourth and mingling with these people
that he was constantly reminding them
Of the Interstate Fair and of the fact
