SNEADS, A HUSTLING TOWN

the health Of her people is excellent
and her schools are unsurpassed.
The first three of these causes are
natural ones, but the latter, like the
splendid churches which have been es
tablished here, is due to the efforts of
the five hundred wide awake citizens
which make up the population of this
progressive little town. There are two
flourishing churches in the town
Methodist and Baptist, and the schools
which are mentioned elsewhere, are
the pride of her citizens.
The town is now doing a business
of several thousand dollars annually
and there are openings for a number
OF good businesses there now. The
citizens are eager for a bank to be es-
tablished and the prospects are that
one will be opened within the near fu-
ture.
Farming.
The principal industry around
Sneads is farming, which is carried on
in diversified manner, as nearly any
crop can be successfully cultivated
within a few miles of this town. Hogs,

good one and it's future is certain.
While in Sneads to gather data in
regard to that one particular town
talked with everyone 1 could see and
the first and last thing each man
would say was something about the
school. w. B. Jenkins said it was the
only thing in the county that every
body would fight for. Another said
the school was the peace pipe for
Sneads people, that it was the first
proposition the people had gotten to-
gether on.
Now that they have the best school
in the land the business people have
gotten together and are determined to
bring into that town enough families
to keep the school building filed to its
capacity. 1 don't believe they have
thought that the bringing of these
families there will make business for
their stores and will increase the
prices of their lands. They will think
Of it after the building is filled with
bright school children, but now they
are after the school children.

other articles are already being culti-
waited and produced more or less ex-
tensively. In fact, one firm only a
short time ago shipped a carload of
Irish potatoes, which brought a good
price and netted a handsome profit.
The lands are owned for the most
part by white people and under intelli-
gent cultivation yield abundant crops.
The lands are steadily increasing in
value and are constantly being i'm
proved.
Live Stock and Poultry.
While this industry has not yet been
developed to any very great extent,
the peoples in this section have al
ready recognized the splendid adapta-
bility of this country for stock raising
and the prospects are that within a
few years time this will be one of the
leading industries of this part Of Jack
son county.
The abundant supply of cane and
Bermuda grass in this section will
winter cattle, or stock with practical
ly no feed, which makes this an unus-
ually fine place to enter upon this
business.
The country is also ideal for poultry

railroad facilities which would be ap-

The town also has an express ONCE.

stated in his bill that they have been
separated since February IS, 1912.
The petition enumerates times and
places where, II is alleged, Mrs. VIII
son met Mr.. McClurg. New York City
and Charlevoix, Mich, are among the
places.
Although society friends of the will
sons have been stirred frequently OF
late by stories of martial troubles OF
the pair. the mentioning of the pub
llsher's name has furnished additional
food for the gossips.
About two months ago, or last April,
the Wilson's began to live apart. Mrs.
Wilson went TO the home of her
mother, while the husband sought his
old quarters in the home Of his father,
1850 Dearbon avenue.
Soon after their separation the Pro-
bate court granted Mr.. Wilson custody
of the two children. Then he sold the
handsome residence at 1412 Astor
street This convinced neighbors and
friends the domestic affairs Of the
couple had reached the crisis.
Mr.. Wilson refused to discuss any
part Of the case, and appears to have
no desire to mention the name of his
wife. Mr.. McClurg is equally reticent,
although he denies having been the
cause of the family disruption.

The following notice has been sent
out from Tallahassee:

Numerous letters of inquiry having
been received from manufacturers,
jobbers and dealers in packing goods,
in the state of Florida, and also from
other states, asking an extension of
the time allowed to make the neces-
sary changes in labels on goods now

SCHOOLS.

When Pensacola had it's first five
story building every Pensacolian was
as proud OF 1t as little boy is of
new baby brother. The building was
an inspiration to everyone, because 1t
was the highest in West Florida. it
marked the beginning of sky-scrapers
and the people had a right to be proud
Of 1t.
In Sneads they have no five-storv
buildings, and II they had they would
not be half as proud Of them as they
are Of the institution already there. A
little thing like the merchants doing a
half million dollar business annually is
about the last thing they consider in
that progressive city.
Just like they boast of the deep
water port in Pensacola the people of
Sneads grow eloquent in telling about
their school advantages. They have
Junior High school there and I don't
believe they would swap 1t for the I'm
lversity of Florida and the State
School for Women combined.
II were politician and wanted to
get big vote in Sneads l would take

as l talked from early morn until late
At night about the Sneads school with
the other hand l would be giving out
cards telling for what ONCE was run
ning-the man who takes this tip will
get every vote in Sneads.
NO matter what subject one begins
IN Sneads ii terminates with the
Sneads school. Everyone there believes
IN the school, everyone knows it Is the
pest In the land, and the person who
goes there and comes away without
having the same opinion simply is not
open to convincing argument.
when you learn the facts about the
Sneads school one can account for the
enthusiasm the men, women and chill
dren there generate when they can
get an audience to tell of its good
work To begin with, Sneads was the
hrst suo-school district in West Flor
Ida and consequently for years the funds
derived from this special school tax
have been used in employing the best
talent for teachers and building and
equipping the school building with tha
latest Of everything in school irtures
All OF this equipment, talent and
money has not gone for nought THE
school at Sneads has been the greatest
asset the public school system OF west
Florida has had. Not only has il heay

If there is such a thing as predesti-

that Jim Ned Wilson was predes-
tined to be mayor of Sneads. On
most subjects Jim Ned's word is as
good as his note and his veracity is
never questioned, but when he looked
at me and said he did not like the
position, though he pretended the du-
ties did not suit him. I knew he was
not telling the truth-he likes to have
the office thrust upon him.
The~peorle of Sneads appear to have
fully made up their minds to do two
things, and far be it from me to adj
wise anyone to try to change their
minds when they have them set in
one way. Therefore one naturally con-
cludes that only death will make them
change on these two thingC. First

James N. Wilson Jim Ned" and sec

fight the suit filed by her husband,
Attorney John P. Wilson, Jr., for abb
solute divorce
A general denial was made Of all the
charges in the bill, wherein the name
of Edwin Trevor McClurg, head Of A.
c. McClurg & Co., was linked with that
of Mrs. Wilson.
Every effort was made TO suppress
the facts as long as possible. The bill
was filed with the chief clerk of the
Superior court after closing hours and
did not leak out for several days.
Service was obtained by Deputy Sheriff
John N. Collins, former chief Of po-
lice, on Mrs. Wilson at the law office
Of Joseph H. Defrees.
Lawyer Denies Charges.
Il prefer to speak for Mrs. Wilson
as a friend" said Dir. Defrees. It
have known her from early girlhood.
She is absolutely innocent of the
charges made against her.
I am familiar with all the facts
and circumstances surrounding the
case. 1t Is the outgrowth of an IN
fortunate chain Of circumstances of
which the complaint has a most mis-
taken and distorted view. The trial
Of the case viii demonstrate this en-
phatically. Those who know her will
require no such demonstration"
The Wilson's were married in Brook
Ign, n. Y, October 8, 1900. and have
two children-John P. Ill. years old.
