MISS SAVELL'S RELATIVES
ARE RESIDENTS OF TEXAS

Bagdad, Fla, February s, 1915
Edition Pensacola Journal:
Referring to the romance of Miss
Savell. formerly Of Bagdad, of which
you have made mention several times,
I would like to make correction.
Miss Savell has resided in New York
for the past twelve or fifteen years,
having been back to her home several
times on visits to her parents Her
father died more than two years ago
and about a year ago her mother, a
sister and several brothers went to
San Antonio, Texas, to make their
home Mrs. Savelrs oldest daughter
Mrs B. F. Inrnan, is also a resident
of San Antonio. She has no immediate
relatives in Pensacola.
Miss Savell had prior to her mar
riage been engaged in magazine work,
and it was in this work that she met
Mr.. Croy. She was also stenographer
for Attorney Delmas during the first
Thaw trial

Colonel Mayes, Death


Florida lost one Of her most promi-
nent and best citizens when Colonel
Frank T.. Mayes, editor of The Pensa-
cola Journal, died early last Monday
morning. His death came after only
short illness and it was quite a
shock to those who were not aware OF
the seriousness of his condition.
Colonel Mayes had been editor and
owner of The Journal for a number Of
years past and he had made 1t one OF
the best and brightest newspapers
published in this section. He was a
man of high and lofty ideals, one
whose efforts were devoted to up
building and lettering. He was pro-
gressive, honest and urageous, hew-
ing to the line of what he believed to
be right. He was aggressive but not
in an obnoxious way, and he went
about his duties in fearless and
frank manner that won for him the
admiration and respect of all. His
death. therefore, is distinct loss not
only to the community in which he
lived and worked but to his state and
section.
Colonel Mayes was quite prominent
in political affairs, and had ne lived
the probabilities are that Florida
would sooner or later have called
him to high and honorable official po-
sition. More than once had his name
been mentioned very favorably in con-
nectio with the governorship of the
(Ga.) Enquirer
Sun.

that must be met practically to be

1t is worth the attention of the pub
lie, at any rate, and as such The

are interested in helping the other
fellow in his extremity.

campaign fund for the national
committee In the campaign of 1908.
Mr.. Mayes was also delegatef rom
Florida to the Baltimore convention,
which nominated President Wilson,
and he was one of the original Wilson
men of Florida.
Mr.. Mayes has also served as presi-
dent of the Florida Press Association.
On December %, 1899, Mr. Mayes
was married to Miss Lois Kingsbery,
Of Hartford, S. D. Besides a widow,
he is survived by three children, How

SINCERE PersonaI Grief.

Sincere Personal Grief.
1t is with sincere personal grief that
we chronicle the death of Hon. Frank

Journal, which occurred in that city
early Monday morning.
Aggressive, progressive, honest, up
right, public-s spirited, he stood for all
that is best in modern Journalism. In
the forefront of, all that stood for the
best interests of his adopted home, he
labored increasingly for it's advance.
ment, and no loss that Pensacola has
suffered in any will equal that of the
death of this one of Gods noblemen.
Those who opposed him recognized
his honesty of purpose. and now that
he has gone will give recognition to
his public services. The loss is not to
Pensacola alone or even this end of
the state but to all of it.-DeFuniak

Entire State Mourns-

Entire state Mourns-
The entire state will mourn the
death of the brilliant man and broad
minded journalist, who passed away
at his home in Pensacola Monday

Frank l.. Mayes was one of the most
prominent and progressive citizens OF

farm in Illinois, Iowa and South Da-
kota. When he was thirteen years of
age his father died, leaving a widow

than that their South Dakota ranch
yielded. He had to face difficulties
and the next few years were spent in
helping his mother run the farm. He
attended the country school during the
winter. Biography was his favorite
reading matter, and he found profit
able a study Of the lives of Moses,
Julius Caesar, Napoleon and the men
who made English and American his
tory and literature.
succession Of years of drouth and
crop failures decided him against ag-
riculture as his life work. Having
been born with a bent for both books
and business, as well as an indomi-
table perseverance and grit, he deter
mined to go to school, and he entered
South Dakota University at Mitchell,
where he studied for three years,
earning his livelihood at same time.
He then taught school for two years,
and in 1896 he became a reporter on
The Pensacola Times. He stayed with
