CAPT. WI. GILMORE
FOR JUSTICE PEACE
WELL-KNowN POLICE CAPTAIN
is ONE WHO ANNOUNCED YES
TERDAY FOR THE OFFICE
NAMED.

Capt. W. L. Gilmore, who has long
been connected with the Pensacola
police department, announced yester-
day his candidacy for the office of JUS
tice of the peace. In reference to
said announcement Sunday, it was
stated that it was j. w. Gilmore who
was after the office. This correction
is made at the request of the we'll
known candidate.
Captain Gilmore is the son of the
late j. w. Gilmore of Bluff Springs,
who for number of years served
this county as member of the board
of county commissioners.
The man who announces for the of
fee of justice of the peace is well
qualified to hold the position, and
promises If elected to give the office
the careful attention that he believes
it should have. He solicits the votes
of the people.

The answer we give to that question
will eventually involve everything
else.
Remember the disposition that we
make of Jesus Christ is the DISPOSE

selves. We can crown Him Lord of

Him, cruelty Him afresh, and let His

Vast opportunities which await the

great number of lantern slides show
ing the devastated towns of the French
republic. He is going to visit ten
American cities and explain the de-
struction in detail. and, tell of the
chance for the American firms to get
large amount of the trade for ma
terials to be used in reconstructing
these towns. The exposition will ex
tend through the months of May. June
and July
Mr. Long. who is Bostonian. par-
ticularly is interested in getting Amer
ican firms to put exhibits at the re-
construction exhibition which is to be
n neI IN the tennis courts of the French
falace in Paris, and thus secure a
large amount of the trade The French
