The Romance of Lake Jackson
By Zarah Sellers. One of Flora1a's
Younger Poets

Alapachi, the mighty Indian chief.
stood up quietly in his great grief,
Took his daughter by the hand,
And issued forth this one command;
Brothers tho you are gaily dressed,
You little know how we're oppressed,
The mighty tribes that come from the
east
Are planning vengeance, while we feast
Now, to the brave that finds a land
Where peace and plenty we cal com
mand,
l will give my daughter, Morning Dove,
To be his own. to keep and love.
Thus spoke the chief; and thus he fred
And passed the pipe ere he retired,
Eagle Eye, the chiefs favorite brave,
because in battle his life did save)
Loved Morning Dove with all his heart,
Did see her alone before the start,
Then he told her he would find a, place
Or never again see her dear face
Next morning at the break of day,
Each brave was UP and on his way,
Some to the South: some to the West:
And each to the way that he thought
best
Now Eagle Eye went to the West,
And little he stopped for food or rest,
He travelled on for days and days

Honorable Theodore S. LAM II
mayor of Fiorala, and a fine, progress
sive man in every respect.
p. NJ. Faucet is city trea suer; NJ
J. IF1ix is city marshal, DR.. A. L. Wynn
is city health officer and the members
W. F. Hughes, r. A French, w. w
Taylor, and Ben E. Whidden.
All are good, solid, logical boosters
for their town and territory. and ali
represent an exceptional class Of fine
citizenship.
The Great Glad Hand awaits the
prospective settler in the Florala sec
ton.
If he has little money, he can be-
come the possesSor of a few fertile
acres near town and his truck farming
and chicken raising will raise him to
first season is ended.
They actually need more truck farm
ing around Florala, too. for home con-
sumption before the outside markets
are even thought of.
The soil is there alright; the market
is there; and people need green things
and the small fruit that comes in the
spring time for healthy bodies and
productive brains more, perhaps, than
they do the somewhat more popular
fried foods.
If the prospective investor who has
become interested in the F1ora!a sec
ton wants to move a little further out
of town, and, perhaps, invest more
heavily, he can go in for diversified
farming with results which are going
to surprise him, where quality, abund-
ance, and quick markets are concerned.
Pensa cola, of course, is the largest
metropolitan market close by, but the
fact remains that Florala herself is
going to make the finest kind OF
market when the truck farmers edu-
cate her and the soil up 10 the business

F1orala is satisfying in every way.
For the business man she has her
commercial opportunities to

point to her neighboring saw mills for
public employment; for the tourist she
offers her cool soft groves and the
gentle slopes and curves which at
length lead down to the very banks of
Lake Jackson, which has never yet
been known to be bereft of grateful
breezes.
For the home maker-and we are
all home makers in one way or an
other-she offers, beside her progress,
her commercialism, and her sterner
necessities of life, a moral intellectual
and cultured community in which to
i've and thrive and grow very. very

The FlOrala Educational
And Fair Association
ONE OF THE IMPORTANT DE-
VELOPING FACTORS TO WHICH
COUNTY IS DIRECTING coNsiD-
ERARLE EFFORT JUST NOW.

The Fuorala Educational and Fail
in the development of the F1orala Sec
ton Of Covington county, it's annual
meetings which are held either in Oc-
tober or early November being full OF
interest to the entire country side.
Alex McRae Is president of the AS
ISOLATION, and r. A. French is secre-
tary.
Last year a fine exhibit was sent
from the F1orala fair to the Pensacola
Interstate fair, and F1oralans will tell
you proudly that this same exhibit also
captured second prize.
At a recent meeting of the Fair
Association, Griffin Miller was selected
to make a trip through the entire
county for the purpose of arousing in
terest among the farmers in the fair
He will call on all the Covington
county farmers, explain the premium
list, and urge them to prepare for ex-
hibitions.
This year the opening day Of the
societies within a radius of 100 miles
from F1ora,a- and a great day, too, it
promises to be for all music lovers and
public-spirited people interested in
CONlnSLon county pOSSlOfnC1SS.
There will be a large live stock ex-
hibition. and the chicken show will be
worth coming miles to see.
Baseball games, balloon ascensions,
and other out-of-do amusements
have already been arranged for, and
Florala's fair this year is sure to go
far beyond the expectations of many.
Marx of Progress.
The F1orala fair is one of the marks
of real progress to which Covington
county people are looking with consid-
cradle pride
The great possibilities Of the rich
old county had never been brought to
light in quite so decisive a light before
the inauguration Of the fair, and there
were a great many people who quickly
recognized the fact.
Last years exhibit at the Pensa cola
Interstate Fair, for instance. did much
to advertise Covington's agricultural
PRODUCTS, and the fair Itself has proved
one of the finest Of advertising medi-
ums IN behalf Of the farmers them
selves.
Alex McRae is a man particularly
we'll fitted to serve s it's president, for
he has practical and scientific farming
at his fnger-tips, and, moreover, is a
booster to do your heart good.
Mr. r. A. French, as secretary, is
also fitting his Office to the satisfaction
Of everyone.

SURE MONEY IN
CHICKEN RAISING

One of the fine opportunities for
making good living, and then some.
in the Florala section, is chicken rails
ing.
There are no chicken diseases with
which to contend, and Pensaco.a af-
fords one of the best chicken markets
in the section.
The climate is ideal, and the man
who would put in several hundred dol
lars in a moderately sized chicken farm
stands IN line for good money in a
surprisingly short time.
Chicken raising is one of the big op-
portunities in and near F1orala.

In our last Saturdays issue on page 1, column
9 we made reference to the city street supervisor
as no doubt being busy hauling city gravel paid
for by the citizens onto an alleged private road.
We learn from the street supervisor that the road
!s not private road alleged. We did not make
the statement fact, the sources of the inform

publishing our statement in good faith. Now we
learn from the street supervisor and others that
the road in question is not private road and as
the facts do appear to bear out the allegations
we desire to say the reference to the private
road matter was erroneous and to retract all ref.
erence thereto. This in justice to the street sup
