LITTLE GOOD FAIRY ADA.
(Rv uirs,inia Vale. ]

tfs
 Once upon a time there was a little girl named Ada She had very long yellow hair and big blue eyes and she always seemed to be laughing and singing.
 One day she was standing looking out of the window when she saw two very poorly clothed boys dradng a homemade sled. They looked very cold and shivery and were watching the sleighs loaded with rich people as they passed. Two big beautiful s1edghs passed each with fine big horse drawing them and each horse trying to outrun the other
 Just as they turned the corner the black horse got ahead Of the other and the boys were as pleased as though they had won7 the race them selves.
 Ada also clapped her hands and ex- claimed: s.Oh. the black horse won. the black horse won am so gIad-''
 The boys looked up and saw her laughing and they laughed again with her.
 Ada, said Mother, there are two poor boys out here in the co1d.'' Her mother came to the window and as she. saw the boys she renem bered some clothes that had been sent her and asked them into the house.
 When they saw Ada, the smallest boy asked in. a whisper, sIs she a Fairy? His brother laughed and when Ada asked what he was laugh ing at, he told her and she was very much pleased. Ada'9 mother brought out the clothes for the boys and you may be sure they were glad to get them for they were awful1y cold. Then Ada,s mother gave them cake and hot chocolate and filled their pockets with candy and fruit and they went away very happy.

TOPIC DISCUSSED.

The Greater Pensacola club will hold
it's regular weekly session Saturday at
12s 80. at the San Carlos hotel IN con-
nection with its usual luncheon.
r. r. Bingham has oeen selected by
President T. A. jennings to act as
POSTMASTER Of the forthcoming occa-

shot on the one question Of How to
Restore Confidence in Pensacola"
Four speakers have agreed to devote
their fve-Eninute talks to a solution
of this one problem.
The speakers viii be j. 3. Waterman,
local representative of the South At

W. Gibbs, Of the II. W. Gibbs Hardware

unique organization It has but enc
Official, the president, and he serves
but one month. No records are kept,
and no fees are e1acted. therefore the
club gets along nicely with neither
secretary or treasurer. The luncheon
served by the hotel, paid for by the
membership present at the rate Of so
cents per plate, constitutes the whole
cost. The membership itself is as

ing a. substantial quorum.

the various business interests of the
city together at close and regular in
