! Emmett Myracle, writing from
Wildersville, sends us an excellent
communication. advocating Presi-
dent Wilson's position on Prepared
ness" and presents some very log
ical argument, showing the fol-
ly Of attempting to do anything OF
importance without having first pre-
pared to do that special work. Mr..
MIRACLES article, however, is too
long and not sufficiently condensed
! for us to use just now--and as he
is yet young, we ask that he again
try his hand on some subject on
which he can more readily con-
dense his ideas. The space Of the
country paper very much resembles
its ENTHUSIASTICALLY limited.
The Progress man was pleased to
find last Friday on a trip to Nash
vile that the wholesale merchants
of that city were making a success
of that effort to bring together for a
week of buying and general enter
tainment the retail merchants of all
that part Of the south tributary to
the capitol city OF Tennessee. Be-
side the word of the jobbers them
selves we had ample evidence that
Nashville had a magnificent trade
last week-notably the several firms
in various lines which have repre-
sentatives in this territory. In
making Buyers week for the Spring
trade, the success that it proved to
be, the Nashville Commercial Club
and its efficient secretary, Mr.. Viii
liam R Manner are especially wor-
thy of credit for work done to bring
about the desired result.

ter that was put up, Mrs. Fielder
began to solicit funds to buy the
iron fence, which cost, delivered at
Lexington, $280.00. She succeeded
well enough that the fence work Or
dered; but the fund still lacks $3.50
Of baing large enough to pay for it,
and it is necessary to raise that
amount Immediately.
Every one in this town knows
Mrs. FEEDERS zeal and energy in all
matters concerning the public wei
fare. Every one knows also her de-
votion to her family, and that her
heart and hands both are fully oc-
cupied at her own Preside now. Ev-
cry one who appreciates those
things should make an effort to
raise this $4,000 without her having
to worry with it.
Every one who has made the
journey across that sandy road,
with a form which yesterday they
clasped, all responsive and glowing
with life, should sacrifice, If need be,
to help protect it-'Lest We For
get"--and forgetting, lose the lesson

"Lsst We Forget. :"

1t will be gratifying to many to
know that the iron fence for the
cemetery has arrived, and is on the
ground ready to be set up, an i'm
provement which is mainly due to
Mrs. L. 7. Fielder.
The work has been slow, and
many people have complained that
they have been contributing to
fences for a very long time, not to
see any results. Other remarks Of
the same kind have been made from
time to time-most Of them thought
less, none of them really meant to
be unkind--but every effort has
been made, that it was possible
under the circumstances to make,
to finish the work sooner; and gen
erous response now to the last call
for aid will put the matter out of
the way-for iron fences are guar
anteed % last as long as most Of us
will be expected to pay for them.
The cemetery was enlarged after
the fund was started, till the fence
required was about twice as long as
it had been. 1t was also found nec-
essary to set the iron fence in con-
crete base to prevent washing, and
that of course added materially to
the expense. the money made
from entertainments Of different
kinds, and some voluntarily contri-
buttons which we're made last sum-
mer, just about paid for the con-
crete base which cost $4,000. AT.

ODD FELLOWS TO co
TO BAGDAD TUESDAY
DISTRICT CONVENTION WITH
OAKLAND LODGE, TO BE AT
TENDED BY LOCAL AND NEAR
BY BRANCHES OF ORDER.

The different Odd Fellows lodges
of West Florida will hold a district
convention on next Tuesday at Bag
dad. These conventions are held
monthly and are mostly attended by
large delegations from each lodge in
this district On this occasion the ini-
tiatory degree will be conferred on a
class of candidates from Oakland lodge
No. IS, by the degree staff of Pensa-
cola lodge No. 4, whose members
mostly perform their duty in a man
ner creditable to their lodge as well
as Odd Fellowship In general. In or
der to be prepared for this occasion
the members of the team will have a
drill at their regular meeting tonight,
while the final arrangements for the
contest recently decided on will also
be discussed at tonight's meeting.
A special boat has been chartered
for next Tuesday to take care of the
members of the local lodges as well
as those from Warrington, Muscogee,
Moline and Century, while a most cor
dial and fraternal invitation has been
extended to the many visiting Odd Fell
lows in the city to join the members
and enjoy with them a most pleasant
evening as the guests Of Oakland

CLUBROOM KEEPERS
.FINEO 500 EACH IN
RECORDER'S COURT
FIVE ENTER A PLEA OF GUILTY,
ONE CASE WAS NOT CALLED,
ONE CASE WAS POSTPONED,
THREE CONVICTED.

Cases against eight of the ten pro-
prietors of service club rooms were
called up and disposed of in the re-
corder's court yesterday morning.
Arthur Fillingin, John Williams, v.
Hoist, Jr., William Henderson and ALT
Lindstrom entered plea of guilty,
and their fines were fixed at $40 and
costs. The case of Jim Goldstucker,
colored, was continued until Satrr-
day of this week on the insistence of
the defendants attorney, while the
case of ]. E. Whittle, after it had pro-
ceeded to some extent was allowed to
go over for a day in order that GER
tain developments may be investi-
gated. Title Ryan,a white woman, R.
O'Donovan, white, and Charlie Smith,
colored. were all convicted and the
same fine imposed in their respective
cases as was done in the cases of
those who had entered plea of guilty.
Ample proof of sales were estab-
lished to the satisfaction of the court.
Three white men were shown to
have bought liquor without trouble in
places whence the defendants were
taken from, and in the case of Charles
Smith, the negro who was fined, it
was shown that two negroes had
without trouble obtained what they
went after. In the case of Title
Ryan, the only female defendant, she
claimed that she had given the beer
alleged to have been bought in her
place, to the witness, Harper, but the
latter said he had paid for it.
In the case of the defendant,
O'Donovan, it was shown that one or
more sales had been negotiated with
out trouble and persuasion, and the
green-labeled liquor was produced in
court which was proven to have been
purchased. No defense, outside of a
plea of not guilty, was made in this
case, and Immediately upon the fine
being affixed, the defendant stepped
to the desk of the captain of police
and paid him $5G.
The other fines which were imposed
in yesterdays session of the record
er's court will probably all be paid.
A portion of the penalty was paid
yesterday, and security given for the
payment of the balance.
The location of several other sus-
pected places was watched during last
night, but if liquor was sold at either
of the "clubs" under suspicion, there
was certainly no evidence of the
trades. Every case thus far disposed
of has been proven, as is evidenced by
the $500 in fines as imposed yester-
day.

THREE CALLS FOR
FIRE DEPARTMENT
ONE WAS FOR MATTRESS BURN
ING. ONE FOR GRASS FIRE
AND THIRD WAS FOR BURN
ING TRASH BOX.

Three alarms were sent in for the
fire department yesterday for unusual
causes, but in no case was there any
damage sustained, to speak of. Two
were telephoned into the central sta
ton.
At 1:48 p. M, the home of Jas
Largue, No. III West Government
street, was threatened when mat
tress caught fire in some manner. No
damage sustained, but considerable
excitement reigned for a while. Mrs.
Cosgrove owned the house.
At 2:5S o'clock call for the trucks
came from Eleventh avenue and
Blount street, where grass had ig-
nited, menacing nearby property, but
no harm was done.
At Gil o'clock last night someone
reported fire in the rear of the two
story building at 3371a South Pala-
fox street. Investigation developed
the fact that a trash box, which had
been put out of the Office Of cotton
factor firm in that building, was the
reason for the fire, for it was burning
and would likely have caused quite a
blaze had it not have been discovered
in time. No damage resulted.

EXPECTED NAVAL
VESSELS ARRIVED
ABOUT NOON HOUR
MONITOR TALLAHASSEE, DE-
THREE SUBMARINES REACH
ED PENSACOLA YESTERDAY.

Led by the torpedo boat destroyer
Worden, three submarines of the K
type entered port yesterday about
noon. Two or more hours afterwards
the tender Tallahassee, formerly the
Florida, steamed into the bay, and all
of them anchored until further or
ders opposite the naval station, and
near the cruiser North Carolina.
One or more of the submarines, it
was reported late yesterday after
noon, will within a day or two come
up TO Central wharf for a supply Of
fuel oil, this having been the custom
followed upon the occasion of the
stay of these vessels here upon a pre-
vious visit.
The monitor took the name of the
state capital when the dreadnaught
Florida was ready to take the name
Of the state. Christened the Florida,
the Tallahassee continued to bear the
name for months, or until, as stated,
the newer and more representative
naval craft was ready for like cere-
mony, when the state capital was Sc
lected as a name.
COLUMBIA COMES SOON.
The scout cruiser Columbia, which
is now at Key West, is expected to
leave that port within day or two
for Pensacola, to remain for weeks
here. This vessel is said to possess
an ability to speed along with any
thing of her class. She has been
here in the past.
