IN Tobacco Business Forty
Two YearS-Prominent in
Masonic Circles.

EIlery ]. Burt, who for forty-two
years maintained one Of the largest to-
bacco and stationery stores in the south

Washington members, will conduct the
services at the grave. Services will be
held at his late residence at 2 o'clock.
Presbyterian Church, officiating, assisted
by Rev. George F. Barber.
It was February that Mr.. Burt cele-
brated his sixty ninth birthday anniver-
sary. Although he was sick N bed, he
appeared stronger than at any time during
his final illness, but his disease had
reached such q stage that little hope was
held for his recovery.
Through his long business connections
Mr.. Burt was widely known. His store
is at 4G5 7th street southwest, and for
for-y-two years he had been in the to-
bacco and stationery business within two
blocks of his present store. When 7th
street was graded several years ago he
was forced to move into his present To-
cation. So long had Mr.. Burt been es-
tablished there that his place Of business
was looked upon as a sort of club by the
men of the better class, who would fire.
auently drop in for few minutes chat

Mr.. Burt was born in Charleston, N

civil war his ship was at California
port. Although but a boy, Mr.. Burt en-
listed in Company B. I'd Cavalry. Califor-
MIA Volunteers, and served throughout
the war, receiving an honorable dis
charge.
He did not return to California with his
ever, but remained in the east. and soon
after received an appointment as clerk
in the Treasury Department. He re-
manned in the Treasury Department for
seven or eight years. and then decided a
business career afforded better oppor-
tunity to a young man. He accordingly
opened tobacco and stationery business
In 7th street.
Mr.. Burt was a man who was fond of
meeting friends and was member Of
many Of the Masonic bodies Of the city.

his time as he was an active worker He

mandery, Knights Templar, q member of
Alert Pike Consistory. Scottish Rite Ma
sons, and of Almas Temple of the Mystic
Shrine.
Aside from his fraternal connections.

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS
Gulf View Inn

Panama City is fortunate in being
situated at a point to get summer and
winter tourists. There is nothing like
new money and a world of it is turned
loose into Panama every week. This
new money would not go there if ad-
vantages were not offered the visitors
in the way of entertainment after
they get there.
The mere fact that gulf breezes and
good fishing and bathing prevail is
not enough to get the visitors. 1t re-
quires comfortable places to stay and
a superabundance Of good things to
eat to make the visitors give a town
a good name, and the hotels and res
taurantS at Panama are not sleeping
over their opportunity.
There are a number Of hotels and
restaurants. Some are managed by
wide-awake men while others are not
as alert. Manager Edwards of the
Gulf View Inn is one of the best boost
ers Panama will ever have. He is ap-
parently not in business for the money
alone for he is from early morning
until late at night trying to make the
visitors spend their time to the best
advantage. His hotel is nearly always
crowded to its capacity and those who
stop with him form an endless chain
as an advertisement so well does he
entertain them.
The Gulf View Inn is situated on
the waters edge commanding an ex-
cellent view of the bay, and with its
roomy corridors, bright rooms and
large verandas makes Of it q most de-
IightfuI place at which to spend a few
weeks either in the summer or winter

Panama City Firms

Either the success or failure Of a
community depends largely upon the
class Of business men which make up
the town. In this respect Panama
City has been fortunate indeed for all
Of her business and professional men
are progressive and are making their
respective businesses compare favor
ably with those found in towns of
many thousand inhabitants.
The merchants have a big territory
from which to draw trade and are
offering every inducement to obtain it
Persons go from all points on the bay
to Panama to trade and the country
for miles around and for a distance
I'D the railroads is supplied by the
merchants of Panama.
Necessarily all of the businesses are
young; it could not be otherwise when
it is remembered that Panama is
merely a youngster herself. However,
they are planning for big things and
the buildings are sufficiently large to
need no remodeling for years to come
unless the growth of the city sur
passes anything even the most optim-
lstic are planning for and expecting.
There are a number, of course, who
are leaders and are not waiting for
others to reach out for trade that
they may profit without expense or
exertion. Among these may be men
toned the City Drug Store, z. Cooper,
proprietor. This business has been in
operation but a short time but its in
creased trade has made it necessary
for a new building which has been
provided. The drug store is up-to-date
in every particular and has a constant
" growing business.
II. W. Johnson, who has a depart
ment store with a stock Of four or five
thousand dollars, is laying the founda =
ton for a mammoth cash business
He moved to Panama City in Deem
Der Of 1910 and since that time has
built UP a very fine trade. Mr.. John
son is a believer in attracting visitors

sponsible for many deciding to remain

than and Mariana road come into
Millville over the Moore tracks. This,
however, is very uncertain, for the
promoters of the Alabama road have
not decided what they will do and
will not until the road is completed
to Mariana.
1t is a fact, however, that the Moore
mill is owned by men who have large
holdings in one of the northern rail
roads, and should the Panama canal
turn enough travel through gulf ports
it is probable that the big trunk line
will make of that part of the bay the
southern terminus of its line. The
road is being built some eighteen or
twenty miles into tract Of virgin
pine forest and will help in a large
way to develop that section of Wash
ington county.
Other Roads.
There are at present two railroads
penetrating Washington county, one
from Dothan, Alabama, to Panama
City, the other operating from Chip
ley to Southport. A branch of the
Chipley road is now being built to
Vernon, the county seat, from the
main line at Wausau, which will ma
terially help the development of that
part of the northern portion of the
county. Chipley expects to have a new
road which will go from Birmingham
through to Graceville and on to some
point on st. Andrews bay. In addi-
ton to this one it is thought the road
which is practically certain of con-
structiOn will. be built through Chip
ley from Albany, Ga
Other lines are being spoken of at
different points Of the county, but
their plans concealed from the public,
very little accurate information may
be gained as to the exact location Of
the proposed lines. It is enough, how
ever, to say that every portion of the
county will be supplied with adequate
transportation facilities within a
reasonably short time

Pleasure and Health Resort

Climatic conditions on st. Andrews
Bay are as near perfect as can be
found at any place on the inhabitable
globe. At this point the temperature
does not exceed SO degrees in the sum-
mer, with a customary range of from
20 to IS degrees. The winters are
pleasant, with but few frosts. The
bay is the ideal resort for northerners
in the winter and southerners in the
summer. Excursion trains are run by
the railways from interior points to
Panama City throughout the summer,
and it is not unusual for them to bring
in one thousand people at e time.
These excursionists and residents can
enjoy every day the glorious bathing
on the gulf beach, and boating upon
the waters of the bay. Fishing is one
of the great attractions for tourists,
