.SUNDAYSCHOOL
YESTERDAY WAS
INTERESTING
WHITE CHRISTMAS WAS OBJ
SERVED AT THE FIRST BAPTIST
CHURCH AND DONATIONS FOR
DISTRIBUTING AMONG THE LESS
FORTUNATE WERE BROUGHT.

The Sunday school OF the First Bap-
tist church yesterday observed what Is
called white Christmas" by having
donations brought by each pupil and
class on Sunday morning to be dis
trdbuted among the less fortunate. The
idea OF calling it white" grew out
of the custom to have everything dec
GRATED in white on this day. This part
of the custom was omitted, but some
very appropriate readings, and music
Were rendered in connection with the
gifts.
Yesterday mornings session of the
Sunday school was an unusually well
attended one and the donations
amounted to a neat sum, which will
accomplish quite a good deal toward
the purpose for which they are in
tended.
The program carried out was an ex-
cellent one and the session of Sunday
school was most enjoyable one.

O|SAGREEABLE
ODOR WAITED
INTO THE CITY
DID NOT ORIGINATE AT GOULD
ING, BUT SUPPOSEDLY FROM
THE GLUE FACTORY ACROSS
THE BAY.

Residents of the city were again an
noyed and disturbed last night by a
very disagTeeable iodor similar to that
caused by the fish fertilizer factory,
north OF the city, which was recently
closed on complaint OF the citizens.
and it is generally supposed that the
unpleasant odor last night came from
the glue factory across the bay, as
the wind was from that direction at
the time the scent was so noticeable.
Several people phoned The Journal
ONCE and the police station last night
to make complaint and to inquire as
to what caused the stencil, and 1t
seems it was very noticeable all over
the city.
President w. Z. Craig. of the Pen
sacola Rendering Company, which
owns the fish fertilizer factory, north
OF the city, which was closed a few
days ago because of the complaints
of numerous citizens about the smell
which frequently emanated from the
place, directed attention last night to
the fact that another and similar smell
was carried to the city by the strong
south breeze coming from the other
side OF the bay. Mr.. Craig wished it
to be understood that this odor did
not come from his factory. He also
wished it understood that his factory
was not the only place from which
fish odorS sometimes emanated. He
said the odor last night was very an
noyfng to people on North Hill, al
though it did not disturb him. He
said, however. that inasmuch as his
factory had been closed he thought
everyone should be treated alike and
this place closed also.
Arthur Gum, one of the officers OF
the Pensacola Rendering Company also
called The Journal office. Mr.. Gum
said that he wanted to direct atten-
ton to the. odor coming from across
the bay Asked as to whether or not
the odor disturbed him, Mr.. Gum
said he did not care to say. Asked as
to whether he thought the odor ought
to be stopped, Mr.. Gum said also that
he did not care to say. His object, he
said, was to call attention to the fact
that the odor existed.
Both he and Mr.. Craig, however, |
were emphatic in saying that the odor |
smelt mighty bad. though neither |
would admit that the odor was OBJ |
jectionabIe to him.
While it was impossible last night |
to determine definitely where the dis |
agreeable odor came from, it is pre- |
sumed that 1T came from across the /
bay from the glue factory in opera |
ton over there. This Is the first oc-
casion when the odor from this point /
has been experienced in the city. or,
ut least, the first case in which The |
Journals attention has been directed |
10 it. The plant is located in Santa I
Rosa county, and is some four miles |
from the city.
