BLUFF SPRINGS HAS
PROGRESSIVE LEAGUE


Bluff Springs, Aug. 2s.-The .Es-
Gambia Equal Suffrage League CON
vened at the W. o. W. hall wednes-
day night.
A most interesting program was en-
joyed, the main feature being a dis
cussion Of the pros and cons of equal
suffrage.
All the papers read showed a
thorough study of the subject and all
who heard them felt duly repaid for
having attended the meeting.
The league convened at the w. o.
W. hall again Wednesday night, Aug
ust 25th.
A very interesting program was
rendered. Various features of the
suffrage question were discussed by
nine or ten able league members, the
main topic being "Are We Advanc-
ing ?" Several musical numbers were
enjoyed, among them male quartette
by Messrs. Bowman, Coley, Crary and
Fillingim which was welcomed by all.
AS compliment to the program sew
eral selections were renedred upon
the Victrola
All are cordially invited to attend
these meetings
We need live wires and appreciate
the help of any one whro will render
it.
After reading the papers on equal
suffrage by Mesdames Brewton and
Bowman / am sure that the men and
women of Bluff Springs, as well az
our out-of-town members will feel that
they, by attendance, will only be bene-
fitted, for while many of you cannot
take time from your daily duties tc

THE LIBRARY A
COMMUNITY ASSET.

1%E@fA4N4
Let it be said, early, late and often,
in large plain type that q library is
good thing for community.
The library should be under mu-
nieipal ownership, and to some extent,
municipal control. The sense Of own
ership in it makes the average man
accept and use the opportunities of
the free public library, while he will
turn aside from book privileges in
any other guise. Municipal aid for
the Pensacola library will popularize
the library as nothing else will, and
viii bring about a demand from the
public for a library in keeping with
our progressive city. A progressive
city cannot afford to be without such
. necessary public institution. They
are laying a stumbling block in the
path ofaour city's advancement by not
grasping the offer made by Mr.. Car
negie.
There is much activity in the south
ern states just at this time in library
building Tampa, is just finishing a
fifty thousand dollar building. st.
Petersburg, Barlow, Dunedin, Orlando
and several other places are complet-
ing new buildings.
In Mississippi, Alabama and Geor-
gia there is just as much activity.
And, a city the size of Pensacola
should certainly become active on the
subject.
Our sister cities refuse to believe
that a majority of the people of the
Deep Water City, are opposed to an
Institution, which means education
and refinement, can we afford to neg
lect this educational side Of Pensa-
colas progress? Can't there be some
sconcerted action taken to insure the
success Of the undertaking where
are the Rotarians? They are the
representative men of the city, why
can't they take it up with the city
and see that ten per cent of the Car
negie bequest for a library, goes into
the city, budget of expenses the; first
of October. Can you realize the
growth and development of our city
IN the period of ten years-look at
the beautiful up-to-date buildings, the
L. & N. station, the San Carlos hotel,
