Shall We Show
Our Civic Pride?

In spite of the war, in spite of the
cry Of hard times, in spite of those
who make croaking their main bust
ness in life, and knocking their chief
recreation, Pensacola is not only hold
ing its own as one of Florida's most
important and progressive cities, but
it is taking some steps forward that
will place it, sooner or later, in the
forefront of southern seaports.
The naval stores business, the re-
sumption of export trade, which is
every day increasing, and the rise in
the cotton market, have had a part
in promoting a healthy business tone.
But none of these have been as eff
cacious as the conjunction of hard
work and an optimistic spirit. These
two can accomplish wonders. Have,
indeed, accomplished wonders during
the past months.
And nothing has been announced
of greater Importance, indicative as
it is of the steady growth of Pensa-
cola, than the celebration to take
place in this city, on January IL, 1916,
when the first through train from
Birmingham to Pensacola will arrive
over the Gulf, Florida, and Alabama
railroad.
Nothing in Pensacola's history is
more significant of the new era that
Pensacola has entered upon, than the
actuality of a new railroad and the
celebration of the fact that Pensa.
cola is no longer a railroad town.
The decision of the Chamber OF
Commerce to make this day a gala
occasion in Pensacola is a wise anC
progressive move.
The first train over the G., F. anC
A. will bring to the city men of prom
inence from cities all along the route
from Birmingham to Pensacola, in.
Guiding the mayors and business mer
of these towns.
The impression made on these mer
will mean much for the commercial
future of Pensacola. This impression
will be whatever the citizens of Pen
sacola choose. And it is not too sool
now to plan and work for its success
A big parade viii feature the day
1t will start on the arrival of tn,
train and pass through the principa
streets of the city.
1t is not too soon to prepare 70
this parade, and every citizen of Pen
sacola can help to make it a success
| Those who can do so should give

CALOMEL WHEN BILIOUS? NO! STOP!
ACTS LIKE DYNAMITE ON LIVER
GUARANTEE "DoDsoNs LIVE R TONE" WILL GIVE THE
BEST LIVER AND BOWEL CLEANSING YOU EVER HAD

Stop using calonael! 1t makes you

have been intending to renovate.
Merchants can do the same. There
are a number of unsightly signs, avn
ings, ETC., on Palafox street, that
could be torn down or repainted.
There are yards in Pensacola that
need attention now and viii need at
tention then, if Pensacola Is to make
the impression on the visitors that It
is hoped this city will make on Janu-
airy 18th.
1t is not too early to begin now.
Unsightly places in the city could
be cleaned up. And these eye sores
should not only be freed of the un-
slightly things that mar them, but
in the place of this unsightliness
could be placed or planted something
to please instead of TO offend the eye.
Some years ago the Civic League
of Pensacola went to a great deal
Of trouble and expense to send for
one of the best landscape gardeners
IN the United States to lay of the
boulevardes Of Pensacola.
This city is acknowledged now to
be one of the most beautiful cities,
naturally, in the world. But surely
never anywhere else In the world has
beauty ever been so married.
Pensacola cannot be placed in con-
dition to meet the critical eye Of the
sight-seer in a day, a week, or q
month. 1t will take time and system
and workout it can be done, and II
should be done, before the visiting
delegation to arrive here on January
II, are introduced to our city. If we
do what we could do and should do
it is with pride that we may point
to the growth of our town. If we dc
not do our part, then we shall b.

Criticism for a Cabinet officer is
foreshadowed by the stars.
Weather that is variable and I'M
seasonable is probable during the au-
tumn. Diseases of the throat viii
be prevalent.
A new amusement that will super
sede dancing is prognosticated. 1t
will bring gain to manufacturers.
Increase in the number of murders
is predicted. Many persons of promi-
hence will be victims of greed.
The death of a young millionaire is
foretold. Mourning is indicated for
many persons who are prominent in
social life.
Fame for one of the smaller uni
versities is prophesied, owing to an
achievement due to one of its pro-
fessors.
Persons whose birthdate it is should
not change their business or profess
sional activities during the coming
year. Business may cause great
anxiety and those who are employed
are likely to lose their positions.
Children born on this day may be
exceedingly ambitious and restless in
nature. These subjects of Scorpio
are frequently great travellers as they
love adventure. Girls should be
guarded against hasty and unfortu-
nate marriage.

Milton to Be Congratulated
On Her Fine School.


Milton Is to be congratulated on
the fact that its fine school building,
recently erected at a cost Of over
$50, 900, is to be occupied Monday. It
is seldom that place the size and
population of Milton possesses such
a structure for educational purposes,
but the citizens Of that wide-awake
community realize to the fullest ex-
tent the advantages of education and
have prepared. That the citizens are
imbued with the proper spirit is well
demonstrated by the following from
the Milton Gazette:
The Milton public schools will begin
the 1876 session in the new school
building next Monday morning, Nov.
LIST. This is an event that is of more
real vital Importance to the people
Of Milton, than the election of a pres
ident, or the winning of a great bat
tie IN Europe. 1t is an event that has
vital connection with the future
success and usefulness of the sons
and daughters of this entire COM
munity. It is an event, however, in
which the cooperation of the parents
of the children, with the teachers is
absolutely necessary In order to at
tain the best results. The state, coun-
ty and special school district are all
contributing funds for the erection
and maintenance of a frst-class
school, but in order that your child
may secure the benefits to be derived
therefrom he must attend the school,
not spasmodically, irregularly and
often times late, but promptly and
regularly. The work of the school is
an endless chain, no link of which can
be omitted without imparing the use

is admitted that we all think our chill

The Bond Election

Escambia county, on the far west
ern edge of the state, has followed
the lead of Polk and the commission
ers there have called an election for
popular vote on a million dollar
bond issue to build modern system
of hard-surfaced roads throguh that
county. The necessity for such roads
h"e "aw become so apparent, if the
various counties of Florida are to
c.--.-l-ue 10 progress rather than to
stagnate, that the argument is all on
one side and there is hardly any di-
vision of sentiment in the large body
of the well-informed people of the
state on the subject. Escambia is a
great county and so is Polk, both rich
in resources, developed and unde-
veloped, both with fine populations
of intelligent people who want their
counties to go forward rather than
backward, and we predict that the
bond issue in both counties will carry
by good majorities.-Lakeland Tele-
gram.

A Good Suggestion

The suggestion that the Dixie
Highway be extended west from Tai
lahassee to Pensacola is a good one
and one that we believe Holmes coun-
ty will be more than glad to help car

tated much but when our people, and
the people of West Florida for that
matter, realize the Importance and
benefits of such a highway we may
expect something to happen.-Holmes

Receiver w. H. Milton, of the de-
