TEACHER FOR NEARLY HALF A CENTURY

~ OF Spanish and French extraction,
to one Of the most cosmopolitan cities
of the south
Her mother was Miss Mary Joseph
Penalbert, a member OF one Of Pensa-
cola's old Spanish French families.
and her father. Henry Francis Ingra-
ham, a native of Massachusetts,.
One of the old customs OF which
Mrs. Wilson spoke was that Of the
"patgoe," an introduction to large
picnics or balls.
"A wooden bird or .patgoe' was
fixed on a pole and carried through
the city by a slave; on presenting 1t
to the ladies' they made an offering Of
a piece of ribbon of any length or
color, which suited their fancy or con-
venience. This they fixed to the bird.
which thus became decked with an
abundant and gaudy plumage.
"On the day of the picnic. or ball.
which was usually held on the first of
May at what is now Kupfrians' park.
the LADIES' assembled, usually attend
ed by their beaux. armed with rifles
or fowling pieces. The 'patgoe' was
shot at, and the fortunate marksman,
who succeeded in shooting off its
head, was proclaimed king. The
'patgoe' became his by right of Gus
| tom, and was by him presented to his
fair lady. who by accepting 1t, became
his queen. and he was also entitled TO
the privilege of paying all the ex-
| penses Of the next ball, over which his
majesty and his consort presided"
Another custom which has never
quite died out in the south, and which
during the past few wears has been
somewhat revived, and of winch Mrs
Wilson spoke. is that of New Year
1 calls. Years ago on the first of Jan.
uary everyone kept open house, much
calling and entertaining opening the
/ New Year.
In speaking of social customs of for
mer years. Mrs Wilson said that II
the early days of Pensacola few so.
cial distinctions were drawn. and tha'
on the occasion of the large balls OF
picnics a notice was usually placed II
the newspapers, inviting everyone t.

Never to have been tardy for sin
gle day. Never to have asked for a
days leave OF absence. with the ex-
ception of that necessitated by serious
illness; to have had in ones possess
sion for twenty-five years a life GER
tificate. given. for satisfactory serv-
ice, and to have taught in one school
for period of forty-two years-this
is indeed a wonderful record
Mrs. E. j. Wilson of Pensacola has
been a teacher In the public schools
of this city since the days of recon-
struction. Today she is teaching some
of the grandchildren of the boys and
girls who were her pupils in 1875.
To talk to Mrs. Wilson about her
work in the public schools of Pensa-
cola is to get glimpse into interest
ing experiences.
Mrs Wilson has seen Pensacola
grow from village to a city, has
marked the development of the chill
dren she has taught and their influ-
ence upon the life of their community,
and has seen the boys and girls of the
school room become men and women
welding an influence upon their city
The first public school in Pensa-
cola was established here in 1875"

| Gus, how is it that you Gid not
vote for me as a teacher in the new

for moment, and then looking up,
with his verybest manner, he Said:
They is going to put another
teacher in the school. and l will vote
for you, and 1 will see that the vote
Is anonymous
The vote was anonymous and so

THE BEST WE CAN.

What use to frown when things GO
wrong,
Since frowns won't set them right
Be brave OF heart and sing a song
To make the burden light.
That this is true / quite believe:
He is the wisest man
Who sings when care and trouble
come
And does the best he can.
Brood over trouble and you'll find
The burden heavier grow.
Those who let worry have its way
Have always found it so.
He gathers flow'rs beside the way
Who says to fellow man.
Lets make the best Of pleasant
things
Aud de the best we can"
In thinking of another's need
We oft forget our own.
By helping others with their load
Two hearts have cheerful grown.
So -ry to scatter by the way
Some good for fellow man,
And with a smile OF courage say:
I'll do the best / can"

TO MAKE THEIR HOME
IN INDIANA.

There is the most general regret
at the removal of Mr.. and Mrs. ]. B.
Shacklett, from Pensacola. to Indiana,
to make their home. Mr.. Shacklett, who
was division auditor OF the L. & N. be-
tween River Junction and Selma, has
been transferred to Evansville, Ind,
and will have the territory between St
Louis and Nashville. While this change
is in the nature of a promotion for Mr.
Shacklett, and his friends here are
pleased at his success, they regret the
departure of himself and his wife, who
had both boone fayorites in society
here.
Mrs Shacklett was a member OF
several of the afternoon clubs, and both
will be very much missed by many
friends made during their residence OF
five years with the Misses Yniestra, or
North Spring street.
