REAL ESTATE
MAN MAY COME
TO PENSACOLA
WRITES TO SECRETARY OF CON-
MERcIAL ASSOCIATION CON-
cERNING PLAN OF OPERATING
ON NEW BASIS AND THINKS
PENSACOLA is THE PLACE.

Secretary Henderson, of the Pensa-
cola Commercial Association, is in re-
ceipt of a letter from a prominent
real estate man in a northern city
who is seeking a f1rst-class location
to establish an office and enter the
field of southern land industrial and
immigration work. This man, whose
name is not given out Tor certain we'll
founded reasons, says he believes
Pensacola would be an ideal place for
the establishment of his business, as
he is Informed that Escambia county
abounds in the kind of lands needed
to carry on the work.
The kind of location desired Is one
where lands are cheap and productive,
where there is excellent water, climatic
conditions are good and where there
are good transportation facilities.
The idea of the writer is to locate an
office in this city ana also a branch
office in the northern city in which he
is residing at present, where exhibits
could be placed, showing what could
be done on the lands offered by the
company.
The writer explains that It is not his
plan to interfere in the least with the
work of the local real estate men, but
to work along the lines of colonization
He says that his plan would reach
people who would never be reached by
the local real estate men and through
literature sent to the north. He says
been demonstrated.
Mr.. Henderson has taken the mat
ter up with this party and it is not
improbable that he will decide to
establish the Office here in the near
future.

WATCH PENSACOLA
GROW AND PROSPER
The Pensacolian for August.


In spite Of the growls emanating
from different sources anent slow col
lections and slack business, the car
penters and stone masons, the con-
tractors and builders the plumbers
and cabinet workers, and most of the
allied trades are putting in eight
steady hours each day in the prepara-
ton Of new buildings for business pur-
poses. Armour & Company have fol-
lowed closely in the lead of Swift and
have made their Pensacola depot a
model Of its kind. The Taylor Com
pany has added a solid block of mod
ern steel and concrete to the building
already occupied by the Consolidated
Grocery Company. The Bass building
at the corner Of Gregory and Palafox
is nearing completion, and is an orna-
ment Of taste and convenience. The
walls Of the Keyser building are rapid
~ shooting upward. The Kuglemau
building viii soon house the firm I'M
der its own roof on Government street
The block of attractive stores at In
tendencia and Palafox is nearly ready
for occupancy, as is the Hooton &
watson building on Wright street.
The Pensacola Cabinet Works, an in
stltution less than a year old, is work
ing TO capacity, and every lumber firm
with retail department in the city re-
ports excellent business. OF the many
stores about to be completed, not more
than a small number remain unrented,
and applications are being received
daily. Over at the site of the new L.

there is a decided optimistic air. The
State Bank shows an increase Of near

22nd. There is an undercurrent of
hasty preparation. And still many
are asking, for what? Reviewing the
situation, the signs and omens, we ad-

THE HOUSE OF LIFE.

All wondering and eager eyed within
her portico, I made my plea to
Hostess Life, one morning long
ago.
spray, show me this great house of
thine not close a single door;
But let me wander where I will and
climb from floor to floor.
For many rooms, and curious things,
and treasures great and small
Within your spacious mansion lie, and
I would see them all"
Then Hostess Life turned silently,
her searching gaze on me,
And with no word, she reached her
hand and offered up the key.
It opened first the door of Hope, and
long I fingered there,
Until I spied the rooms of Dreams,
just higher by a stair.
And then a door wherein the one word
Happiness was writ,
But when 1 tried the little key, I
could not make it fit.
It turned the lock of Pleasures room
where first all seemed as bright,
But after had stayed awhile it some
how lost its. light.
And wandering down a lonely hall, I
came upon a room
Marked Duty and I entered 1t, to
lose myself in gloom.
Along the shadowy walls I CROPPED my
weary way about
SAnd found that from dull Duty's room
a door of Toll led out
It led out to another door, whereon
a crimson stain
Made silently against the dark, these
words, THE Room of Pain
But on the light! the light the light
that spilled down from above,
~
right to the tower of Love.
And when I came forth from that
place. I tried the little key,
And, }oi the door of Happiness swung
open, wide and free

Dear Mrs. Thompson: I am going

TEMPEST.
If your will is so weak that you are
unable to control a bad temper, even
for the sake of a man you like, you
had better give up the friendship
rather than make him certain misery
in the future. Are you sure your
te~rper is no better after the years Of
trying? Suppose you ask him to help
you.
Dear Mrs. Thompson: I went with
a young man two years. but am tired
Of him and left him. He still wants

but was not helped. l had such awful

and nv friends thought l could not live
long. At my request my husband got
me bottle Of Lydia E. Pinkham's Veg

take it. By the time l had taken the
seventh bottle my health had returned
and l began doing my washing and was a
well woman. Atone time for three weeks
I did all the work for eighteen boarders
