Justice to the old Minister.

There is no more pathetic figure
than that OF the minister who, having
served his church faithfully for many
years on a small salary, is left in
want in his old age. Certainly the
minister, whose life work is devoted
to the well-being of his fellow man, is
as deserving of a pension as the city
official, the teacher, the fireman
railroad employee-Leslie's.

Mart Cure.

This is a sure and harmless cure
for warts. Go to the drug store and
get ten cents worth of cinnamon oil
and put it on the warts every night
and in the morning if you wish. Do
not be afraid of getting it on the other
skin around the warts, for it will not
hurt it. The warts will soon start tc
disappear as quickly as they came. 1t
is best to apply with a toothpiek.

Any truth is fair. Any untruth is
unfair. The Golden Rule embraces all
the beneficial law that could be applied
between man and man. 1t is fairness.
All the statutes of modern society are
circumlocutions, paraphrases in some
small sense of the Golden Rule. Now
if the above sentences of the paragraph

Raised on farm, were you? Know
something about handling the lower
order of animals and the effect of
genteel conduct in the fattening yards,
and horse barns? News to you, is it?
Then you need to be told some things.
The most successful farmers to-day will
not keep help, who swear or are loud
mouthed, using meaningless language
in the hearing OF their stock. The best
and most successful. farmers say such
men are not fit to associate with their
stock, yet we permit such to stand on
our street and use language that would
disgrace a COW, hog or goat and never
protest. 1t is about time, "the powers
that be" suggest to the ''oficers who
do, to quench some Of the lurid ex-
pressions that are becoming SO common
on our streets. These phrases so glibly
uttered are symptoms of evil DISPOSE
tons. And the users of the profoundly
profane should have their mouths
washed with judicial soap by the judges
of our courts.

TO EXTEND
Lines TO MOBILE
ANNOUNCED THAT WORKMEN
ARE ALREADY IN WOODS IN
BALDWIN COUNTY TO START
ON IMPROVEMENTS.

1t is announced that workmen in
the employ Of the Postal Telegraph
Company are already in the woods in
Baldwin county looking after the i'm
provements of the lines through that
county, with view to improving the
lines from Pensacola to Mobile.
The survey work has just been COM
pleted, according to the following
from the Foley {Ala.) Onlooker:
To Improve Lines.
The Postal Telegraph and Cable Co.
will rebuild its line from Mobile to
Pensacola. The survey was completed
on Friday and calls for practically a
new line with a strong probability
that same may be located on private
right of way owing to the growing
cost Of maintenance. The inspectors
covered IA miles daily, except when
going over the portion near the pro-
posed Delta road, that section, COM
prising about 10 miles, taking two
days accompanied by much hardship.
The mud was so deep that it over
flowed into the inspectors hip boots.
The marsh grasses had been matted
down and falls were frequent. He
does not think the proposed road will
benefit the locality, much less either
county.

VISITOR SUFFERS
A HEAVY FIRE Loss
WHILE BALDWIN COUNTY MAN
WAS HERE, LOST FORTY TONS
OF HAY WHICH WENT UP IN
SMOKE.

While VIII Fountain and wife, of
Summerdale, Baldwin county, were b
Pensacola the first Of this week, q
severe fire loss was sustained by them
when about forty tons Of hay burned
at their Alabama home.
The Foley Onlooker, In its Summer
dale correspondence this week, thus
refers to the fire:
Lot of Hay Burned.
Tuesday of last week Mr.. and Mrs.
VIII Mountain went to Pensacola In
company with Mrs. Mountains broth
er and his bride, who were here on
their honeymoon. They went to see
the sights and generally to have a
good time. During their absence,
however, grass fire came along and
burned Mr.. Mountains barn. The
barn belongs to Mr.. ]. H. Hack, but
the contents, including his new crop
of corn and forty tons of hay, be-
longed to Mr.. Mountain. 1t is a se-
rious loss to him, as he has twenty
head of cattle and now not thing in
The world to feed him.

Firm founded, broad-based on hon
est dealing. Porter's Bazaar has at
tanned its present dimensions primar-
lily and essentially because throughout
the fifteen years Of its development,
efforts to win and to hold the conf
dence Of the West Florida public have
never been relaxed. This policy from
which no consideration of gain or
commercial expediency have ever
tempted w. c. Porter to swerve, has
met with it's reward. The passing
years have seen the business steadily
increasing, its patrons multiplied, and
the store enhanced in extent and in
efficiency. These qualities are still the
driving force, behind the store, who
have moved to their own home just
across the street from the court house
at lis and lit North Palafox street.
A most modern up-to-date store where
at all times you will find large and
most comprehensive stock of dependa-
BILE merchandise at the same popular
prices that heve always made Porter's
Bazaar so widely known. The public
is respectfully invited to inspect his
new home, which is filled with workers
who are hospitable and whose desire
is to give all who enter absolute and
pleasant service. Adv

FANCY DRESS BALL
WILL BE GIVEN ON.
THU RsDAY NIGHT
KEYSER AUDITORIUM WILL BE
SCENE OF BRILLIANT GATHER
ING ON THAT EVENING.

The dance loving public viii enjoy
one of the jolliest of times Thursday
night at eight o'clock at the Keyser
auditorium when the Carnival asso-
citation will entertain with a fancy
dress ball.
When the gaily costumed devotees
of terpsichore arrive at the ball room
they will be greeted with the most
unique and elaborate entertainment in
the history Of Pensacola. The aim of
the Carnival association in arranging
this ball is to have something different
and they have succeeded admirably,
for no stone has been left unturned
to make this the most novel affair
imaginable.
There never has been one like it
before, never; and If you miss this
one you will never forgive yourself.
It will, Of course be the topic of con-
versation for weeks, and wouldn't you
be ashamed to admit that you had not
even looked on while the others
danced? It would be actually humil-
iating to even confess such thing.
Just because you have no fancy dress
is absolutely no excuse, for although
fancy dress will be the order Of the
day, or rather night, there will be
] lots who will Just wear their plain
old clothes.
Wouldn't Il be fun II everybody
went? nd that is just exactly what
! is going to happen. Everybody 10
going, therefore 1t will be fun.
How would you look in Pierrot
costume, and how would she look as
Pierrette
There are lots of other costumes,
surely one to suit; and the best part
of It all Is that there will be prizes.
So you see you are not only guaran-
teed good time but you might win
a gold piece, the first prize being a
ten dollar gold coin and the second a
five dollar gold coin, but keep that
quiet for It Is seceet.
Now what could be funnier than
to be dancing around, having jolly
old time, and to look Up and see your
best friend come hopping across the
floor la Chaplin, wouldn't you just
simply explode? Suppose Mutt and
jeff should appear on the scene OF
Jiggs and Maggie, can you imagine
anything funnier?
i That is exactly what Is IN store
for you at the Keyser auditorium
Thursday night, December 18th, and
lots more too, only we must not tel
too much now.
