THE JOURNAL s
HOLMESCOUNTY
EDITION WORK
WILL SEND COPY OF THE EDI-
TON TO EACH OF ITS READERS
IN THE coUNTY-BEN II. THoM-
AS COMPILING THE WORK.

The Holmes County Advertiser of
last week contains the following in
reference to the Holmes County Edi
ton Of The Journal which Ben. H.
Thomas is now compiling:
Intelligent publicity is a high art
that has it's greatest exemplification
in the daily, weekly and & monthly
publications of this great country
Publicity is the power that creates
great industrial enterprises and it is
the power that builds municipalities
and commonwealths. The wonderful
development of Florida is due directly
to continued and comprehensive pub
dcity, and this same power can popu-
late the waste acres of Holmes coun-
ty induce the construction of indus
tries and smooth the way of the
wheels of commerce.
While the development of Holmes
county has been steady and sub
stantial, there is no gainsaying the
crossed more rapidly along agricultu-
raj, commercial and industrial lines
and their development is directly
ira ceable to the liberal use of print
er's ink in setting forth the advan-
tages of soil, climate and general
economic and health conditions. With
every advantage that any West
Florida county possesses and with
natural advantages superior to many,
the light of Holmes county has re-
manned hidden under the bushel sim
ply because no one has taken the mi
tiative with a view to setting those
advantages forth in a comprehensive
manner.
UpbuiIding of West Florida.
The Pensacola Journal always
working for the upbuilding of every
section of West Florida. some time
since undertook the work of writing
up" the different counties of the ter
ritory which it served, and 1t has
performed this self-imposed duty well.
Every section of West Florida has
been UNNECESSARILY benefited by the
ma gnificent special editions which
The Journal has prepared and publish
ed, particularly the counties to which
its energies have been especially di-
engaged in preparing a special edition
for Holmes county and it is the duty of
every man who has the welfare of the
county at heart to assist the work to
the extent of his ability.
The Advertiser has arranged to
place a copy of The Journals special
edition in the hands of every sub
scriber in this county. to be sent to
some friend in another state. 1t be-
lieves the edition will be the means
OF setting forth the advantages of
and it asks the co-operat ton of every
citizen to the end that the Holmes
CoGnty Edition of The Pensacola
Journal shall be the best edition of
its kind yet published in this section.
Let's get together-pun together
work together for Holmes county, the
banner county of West Florida; let's
make the Holmes County Edition the
biggest and best yet.

decorated on either side with brightly

man Wilson, who left Washington
some ten days ago for a visit of what
he hoped when he left the capital. of
approximately three weeks to his con-
stituents throughout the district.
However, with the country at war.
and the urgency of Pensacola's claims
and desire for recognition as the best
point on the gulf coast for the con-
centration of troops for Mexico, and
of it's harbor as the logical, best
equipped and most convenient port on
the gulf from which to operate the
navy, he regards his return to Wash

as a more imperative duty than any
thing else that he could do at this
time
Beside the mayor the following gen

make the trip, will constitute the COM

Mayor Greenhut on yesterday tele-
graphed P. K. Yonge, who is now in
New York urging him to join the
committee at Washington, which he
will do. He also wired Max L. Bear,
now on a visit to friends in Atlanta,
inviting him to join the committee as
it passes through Atlanta, which the
mayor expects that Mr. Bear will do.
At Washington, the committee will
join President Dobson. of the Cham
Der of Commerce and r. w. Goodhart,
who left the city Friday night for the
capitol
Mayor Greenhut yesterday wired the
mayor Of Birmingham requesting his
CO. operation in securing assistance
from the Alabama delegation in con-
gress in accomplishing the commit
tees mission in Washington, and late
yesterday afternoon received a wire
from the Birmingham mayor advising
that he had himself wired House
Leader Underwood and Senator Bank

ham Chamber of Commerce wire these

For years, common bold-sulphur has
occupied secure position in the
treatment of cutaneous affections, by
reason of its parasite destroying prop

also antipruritic, antiseptic and re-
markably healing in irritable and in

The moment you apply 1t to an itch

stops and the healing begins, saws a
noted dermatologist. Just common
0old-sulphur made into a thick cream
effects such prompt and remarkable
results, even in aggravated Eczema
that IL is a never-ending source of
Rmazement to physicians.
While not always establishing a per

due the angry itching and irritation
and heal the Eczema right up and il
ls often years later before any erup-

Any good pharmacist will supply an
.ounce of bold sulphur cream which
should be applied to the irritated or
lnflamed parts. like the ordinary cold
creams. II isn't unpleasant and the
prompt relief afforded is very welcome
particularly when the eruption is ac-
kompanied with itching. ADV.

formation forwarded to Washington
that American military authorities at
Vera Cruz considered the situation at
Mexico City and throughout the Mex
lean republic serious for Americans
there, aroused activity of the Wash
ington government today. While the
authorities were exerting every effort
to get verification of the disquieting
reports from the Mexican capital, Sec
rotary of State Bryan conferred with
the Brazilian ambassador mere, Mr..
Da Cana, over the arrest of Amert-
cans at Orizaba and informed him
that he had requested the Brazilian
diplomatic representatives in Mexico
City the release of the prisoners. Am
bassador Da Cana urged the Brazilian
minister in Mexico City to do all he
cans.
, Officials here were much exercised
over the reported assassination of
Americans in Mexico City. Serious
eventualities there, it was pointed out
might aggravate the present situation
and serve to arouse sentiment among
the people that would demand more
aggressive action in Mexico on the
part of this government. 1t was furth-
err empha sized, however. that mob vio-
lence could not be construed as any
deliberate act of General Huerta and
that it could be claimed to his gov
eminent that it was power1ess to con-
troll the situation owing to the anti
American feeling aroused by the seiz-
ure of Vera Cruz.
Although no new military orders
were issued by the war department,
plans for perfecting the operations at
Vera Cruz and along the Mexican
border were considered by Secretary
Garrison, General Wotherspoon, chief
of staff, and Major General Wood who
has been chosen to direct the mill
tary operations in cooperation with
Secretary of the Navy Daniels.
