that had been one of the city's show
places. The frame buildings burned
like tinder. A detachment of firemen
were sent from Jacksonville, and with
their help and that OF local volun-

the flames were saved. Among them
was the Magnolia Hotel and the new

With ringing enthusiasm a couple
OF hundred citizens at the city hall
yesterday launched an orga nization,
that Pensacola has for u lohs time
lacked-and that is a boost club COM
posed of representative Pensacolians
in all walks of life, who will organize
for the proper advancement Of PEN
sacola and the Immediately contigu-
Gus territory. \ determination to put
Pensacola forward was the keynote or
all the addresses heard.
The formation of the club was aC-
complished i'm the council chamber of
the city building, following call
which had been issued a few days
previously. Frank l. Mayes was elect
ed chairman, and presided, and he de-
clared, that while Pensacola had done
many things Of note in the past, just
now his belief was that the city was
on the beginning of a great develop
ment. and everything pointed to not
able accomplishments in the near fu-
ture.
The inauguration Of a weekly lunch
con, to be held each Friday afternoon
at the San Carlos hotel, and tile en-
thusiasm behind such an organization
all tended TO force the belief that
