seem that his figure is too low.
If the settler and the land are
both of the right kind, he should
make more than SlO0 year.
And he is worth to the commun
ity his total annual earnings, plus
the Improvement on his land,
plus his personal property, plus
the value Of his example. THIS
assumes that what the settler
makes he either spends at home
Or banks ~ home II he sends
his money away IRON home, he
is worth just that much less to

Chr Spirit nf OhrtHtmaa

Once more the Blessed Day has come
To soothe the hearts Of Christendom
Like some cool hand that pressed
Upon the fevered pulse of pain,
The Christmas Spirit comes again
To quiet our unrest.
Forgot awhile are grief and loss,
The brooding cares that irk and cross
From farthest sea to sea,
From northen lands of ice and snow
To where the rose and jasmine blow.
The Holy Mystery
o holy, blessed hristmas time
OF perfumed censer, pcaling chime,
Thy fairest eifs we pray
In bounteous measures full and free,
Bestow on those across the sea,
SO sore their need today!
The old and frail, forget them not;
And those sbou, whose lives are wrought
So much of hope and prayer
The little ones, the coming race
Bestow on them thy tenderest grace
To grow in misdom fair!
Sweet Yule- tide, Of thy fullness bring
Peace unto hearts now sorrowing
And unto great and small
To man, bird, beast. to all that live,
Thy richest benediction give,
Thy happiness to all.

SAGE TEA TURNS
GRAY HAIR DARK
It's Grandmother's recipe to bring
color, Iustre and thickness to hair
when faded, streaked or gray.

That beautiful, even shade of dark,
glossy hair can only be had by brew
ing mixture of Sage Tea and Sui
phur. Your hair is your charm. 1t
makes or mars the face. When it
fades, turns gray, streaked and looks
dry, wispy and scraggy, just an APP
plication or two of Sage and Sulphur
enhances its appearance a hundred
fold.
Don't bother to prepare the tonic;
you can get from any drug store a
50-cent bottle of 'wyeth's Sage and
Sulphur Compound" ready to use.
This can always be depended upon to
bring back the natural color, thick
ness and lustre of your hair and re-
move dandruff, stop scalp itching and
falling hair.
Everybody uses "Wyeths" Sage and
Sulphur because it darkens so natu-
rally and evenly that nobody can tell
it has been applied. You simply
dampen a sponge or soft brush with
it and draw this through the hair,
taking one small strand at a time:
by morning the gray hair has disap-
peared, and after another application
it becomes beautifully dark and ap-
pears glossy, lustrous and abundant.

AN GID MURDER
CASE IS TRIED
JOE ROSS, coLoRED WHO KILLED
ANOTHER NEGRO IN 1912
is CONVICTED AT DeFUNUiAK
SPRINGS.
SPECIAL TO THE JOURNAL.

DeF'uniak Springs, Jan. 19.-The
jury in the circuit court yesterday
evening returned a verdict finding
Joe Ross, colored, guilty of murder
in the first degree with recommen-
dalton to mercy
On April &c, 1912, Ross killed an
other negro named Henry Thomas, at
Halls still, in the rural districts of
Walton county, by shooting Thomas
with a shot gun. On the night of the
homicide, Ross left Florida and went
to Alabama and has been at large for
more than two years. Recently Sher-
if J. M. Bell located Ross near Bir-
mtngham, Ala, going under the name
of Joe Johnson Sheriff Bell arrest
ed Ross alias Johnson and returned
him to Walton county for trial.
The indictment in the case was re-
turned while Emmett Wilson was state
attorney and it bore his signature.
The defendant was represented by At
torney Moore of DeF'uniak Springs
and State Attorney John P. Stokes
conducted the prosecution. Judge J.
E. Wolfe presided at the trial Anoth-
er murder trial will be held on We'd

CITY MAY MAKE
TEST OF LAW IN
CASES
CONFERENCE WAS HELD IN
MAYORS OFFICE YESTERDAY
AND COMMITTEE WENT OUT
TO SEE THE CONDITION OF
STREETS, AND REPORT SAME.

Following a conference which was
held In the office OF the mayor yes
terday, and which was attended by
the three commissioners. Engineer
Thornton and City Attorney Jones, a
committee composed of Commission
ers Johnson and Pou, accompanied by
Mr.. Thornton, went to the defective
spots in the paving. The commits
sioners will frame a report and likely
make some sort of q recommendation
shortly.
MAYOR Greenhut remained at the city
building. One of the commissioners is
always in the building during Office
hours. and he did not accompany the
other members of the board for per-
sonal inspection of the defective spots
which Engineer Thornton pointed out
One other phase of the matter OF
re-laying paving came up and was
mentioned at the conference of the
officers yesterday. In case paving is
taken up for re-laying, the cost of the
same will have to be borne by the
city itself, if the proposed test is
lost in court. One of the officials
stated yesterday that IF we do this
work, 1t will all have to be borne by
the city, and that will amount to not
less than $4,000 per city block That
figure is conservative. Much of this
expense is lifted in the original paving
because of the pro rata borne by the
owners of ahutting property. If the
paving is taken up and re-laid by the
city, 1t will mean that the city will
have to pay the whole bill if any case
We might take in court, is lost
One of the confessedly true points
made by the city engineer, it was
stated, was the statement that the
pavements are in some portions so bad
that they are a daily threat of damage
suits. Many places thus described
were pointed out to the two commits
sioners yesterday.
1t was reported late yesterday
afternoon that the block on West
Jackson street, between Baylen. and
Palafox streets, would be the block
torn up and re-laid to make the test
at law, if such would be finally de-
cided upon. The whole of that block,
it was represented, will shortly have
to be taken UP and replaced.

Stomach Troubles
Due to Acidity
so SAYS EMINENT SPECIALIST.

So-called stomach troubles, such as
indigestion, wind, and stomach-ache aN
in probably nine cases out of ten simply
evidence that fermentation is taking
place in the food contents of the stom-
ach, causing the fermentation of gas and
acids. Wind distends the stomach, and
causes that full, oppressive feeling some
times known as heartburn, while the
acid irritates and inffames the delicate
lining of the stomach. The trouble lies
entirely in the fermenting food Such
fermentation is unnatural, and acid for
nation is not only unnatural, but may
involve most serious consequences If not
corrected. To stop or prevent fermenta-
ton of the food contents of the stomach
and to neutralize the acid, anG render 1t
bland and harmless, a teaspoonful of BIZ
surated magnesia, probably the best and
most effective correetor of acid stomach
known, should be taken in a quarter OF
a glass of hot or cod water Immediately
after eating, or whenever wind or acid
ity is felt. This stops the fermentation
and neutraliZes the acidity in a few mo
ments. Fermentation, wind and acidity
are dangerous and unnecessary. Stop or
prevent them by the use of a proper
antacid, such as bisurated magnesia,
which can be obtained from any druggist
and thus enable the stomach to do its
work properly without being hindered by
poisonous gas and dangerous acids

TO LOAD STEEL
RAILS FOR EAST
THE koRANNA WILL PROBABLY
BE IN PORT THIS AFTERNOON
AND WILL TAKE LARGE CON-
sIGNMENT FOR THE ORIENT.

One of the several vessels now due
in Pensacola port is the British steam
ship Koranna, which should be here
some time this afternoon. All the aft
ernoon yesterday this vessel was ex-
pected but up to dark had not been
reported. In case Of arrival today,
the steamer will be berthed imme-
diately on the east side of Tarragona
wharf, where large consignment of
steel will be received.
The Koranna is one of the Far East
line of steamers. which line service
was inaugurated Immediately upon
the Panama Canal opening for traf-
fic. In the past several steamers have
called here for steel principally, but
the one due now is understood to have
other items consigned to her, and will
start loading Immediately upon reach
ing the dock.
A very small portion of the steam
er's cargo is at present on the export
docks, but it was stated last night that
quite a number of steel-laden cars are
on tracks easily reached, and there
will be no delay in starting the ship,
it is understood, although not con-
signed to the foreign export depart
ment Of the L. & N.
The Koranna has just returned from

The Phunmakers held a very inter-
esting meeting last night in Windy
Valley, directly In front of the Pen
sacola Distillery. The grounds taken
were the haunts of the much beloved
mosquito. The committee on enter
tainments in making this appropriate

The meeting was soon brought to
order by the president, Sidney Levy,
and the following committee reports
were heard:
Edo Swain, Ed Motta, Fred Blount

Scott reports that the public market,
docks, and the FIVE ten-story build
ings are rapidly assuming imposing
proportions.
The report from Oliver J. Semmes
on the success of commission form of
government was quickly made in the
following language They say I am
the father of commission government,
but If the blamed thing gives a ID
what its daddy says, want You to
tell it to me. l am one father that

After the committee reports were
heard the following selections were
given:
