At the last council meeting
Fred Ware was elected TO re-
place the writer, who became
disqualified by building his resi-
dence outside the corporation
limits. Again we call attention
to the fact that this year 5 coun-
cilmen and police judge must
be elected and those desiring the
offices should announce at once.
Oscar Gentry, of Fincastle,
was taken to Lexington by the
writer and underwent an opera
ton by DR.. Kiser for eye trouble.
The operation in this case was u
very delicate one but was quite
successful, and Mr.. Gentry's eyes
are now perfectly straight. The
operation for cross eyes is usual
ly very simple one and any one
troubled that way should consult
DIR. Kiser at once.
The boys of the town are soE-
citing subscriptions for the pur.
chase of equipment for a gym
nasium. This is splendid work
and everybody should assist in
it, as it will have a tendency to
keep the boys out of mischief
and aid them in keeping their
pledge to abstain from the use of
cigarettes and intoxicating Ii
quor. The saloons would not be
nearly so popular if IA better Soc
ial life was provided for our boys
and men and a gymnasium is one
of the best methods of providing
this social life.

MUCH TOBACCO
SHIPPED
MORE THAN $4,000 POUNDS
WERE ON THE STREETS OF
QUINCY IN A SINGLE DAY RE-
GENTLY.

The Gadsden County Times, printed
at Quincy, recently contained the fol-
lowing:
The streets of Quincy have present
ed busy scene the past week, owing
to the fact that the packing houses
have been receiving tobacco.
On Tuesday the American Cigar
Co. received 225, 900 pounds of sun to-
bacco, which was the largest amount
ever received by any packing house
in one day.
The, earliest wagons reached town
Monday night, number being near
the packing house at one in the morn
ing. By nine o'clock the streets were
crowded with vehicles of all descrip-
tons awaiting their turn to deliver
the weed, the last one being unloaded
at late hour Tuesday night.
Many of the farmers made their
last delivery during the week and re-
ceived their check, which totals up no
small amount.
The price this year has not been
as good as last.

SAN CARLOS TO
Be ON AMERICAN
PLAN SEPT. 1ST.
PENSACOLA'S LEADING HOSTEL
RY WILL ADOPT AMERICAN
PLAN ON FIRST OF NEXT
MONTH EXPECT ARGER
TOURIST TRADE AS RESULT.

Beginning on the first of Septem-
Der, the San Carlos Hotel will be OPP
Grated on the American plan. This
change Of plan was decided upon after
considerable study of conditions.
Manager Hervey expects the new
plan to result in large increase in
patronage from tourists of the north
interior states. The European plan
is considered too indefinite in opera
ton for man of family to determine
upon a definite schedule of expenses
and for that reason many families
have not heretofore come to Pensa-
cola.
Weekly and monthly rates are in
pected to bring a large increase of
the San Carlos and this feature is ex-
pected to bring large increase of
tourist business as a man of family
can now know in advance just how
much his family's total expenses will
be insofar as their actual living ex-
penses are concerned.
