Coolest Of Winter Weather Is
Felt In This Section of Country


! Early Saturday afternoon Pensa-
colians began to realize that they
wore in for experiencing the most
severe weather of the winter, for the
predictions of the weather man early
stated that the mercury would fall
considerably below the freezing point,
and in this the populace soon began to
discover he was eminently correct. To
be exact, at o'clock last night. the
mercury had taken fall from 81 to
20, and still dropping. At an early
hour this morning street thermome-
tiers registered down to "a or %,
with every indication that it would
go still lower. There was a notice
able absence Of shopping crowds on
Palafox street last night.
Profiting by the caution issued by
the weather bureau, water was shut
off in great number of cases and
exposed plants were cared for. This
will be the means of saving hundreds
of dollars today.
There was an indication of snow
last evening, but the sky soon cleared
directly after dark, and the wintry
moon shone Respondent on al
most deserted streets.
Pensacola is feeling the cold in
common with practically the entire
country. The Associated Press re
ports lower than zero weather in all
directions. Some of these bulletins
tell of temperatures as low as forty
below.

NAVAL PLANE SEEN
NEAR BICK'S LAKE

Barely grazing the treetops, ap-
parently afire and beyond control. q
naval airplane was seen over Beck's
Lake. 81 miles northeast Of Pensa-
cola on Wednesday morning, accord
ing to report reaching The Journal
office last night from w. NJ. j. Scott,
former county surveyor.
It is believed that the machine may
have been the one piloted by E. ].
Grove, the student aviator who has
been lost since Wednesday morning,
and for whose rescue all hope has
been abandoned.
Tho region where the plane is re-
ported to have been seen is sparsely
settld, a dense, swampy, desolate
section, and even though the unfor-
tunate airman landed it is improb-
able that assistance reached him.

MISSING AVIATOR

Information was brought to the

been seen some thirty-five miles
from Pensacola Thursday, flying
low like he was in danger of hitting

nation given by the man who made
report Of the waif f1ier. According
to the statement of this informant,
''the machine would go like it was
in jerks, and now and then a puff
of something looking like black
smoke would be seen. It looked like
he was about to hit the trees" it
was reported.
Whether or not the statement can
be substantiated remains to be later
arcertained, for the man quoted
stands well for truth and veracity in
the county. having held several posi-
tons in the past.

|OKALOOSA BOARD UNDER
CHARGES 20 GOVERNOR
Crestview Special

Crestview. Fla, Dec. 29.-lt has
leaked out here that charges have
been filed today at Tallahassee, with
the governor, by, a number of the
citizens and tax payers of Okaloosa
county. against four members OF the
Board of County Commissioners: r.
A. Rozier, J. w. Baggett, Jr:, J. H.
Givens and w. j. Davis, charging
malfeasance in office and asking the
suspension of each of them.
The matter has not been made
public here as yet, and your CORE
spondent had to put forth some eff
fort to find out the nature of the
charges, which are said to be as fol-
lows:
The violation of certain laws that
require bonds to be given by con-
tractor or contractors before COM
mencing work for the county and
also with irregularities in letting the
contract for the county court house
that is now under construction. It is
asserted that there are further
charges of purchasing Supplies and
materials in excess Of three hundred
dollars for county purposes without
advertising for or receiving any bid
thereon and thus circumventing the
law and depriving the tax payers Of
open, fair and legitimate competition.
The air about this place appears
sur-charged with suppressed ecite-
ment and there seems to be an inn
pending unheaval that may turn out
to be political volcano extending
throughout the county.
Circuit court convenes here next
Monday and not only the governor,
but the grand jury and o.her Off
Gals and official bodies may come in
for a role in the play.

state the lowest figures in this city

shortage. Colder weather is predict

The Boy Scouts of Emmett will be
out the last of this week and the
first Of next week in an effort to
raise several hundred dollars with
which to buy Indian clubs, dumb bells,
a wrestling mat and other gymna-
sum apparatus. The Boy Scouts
have helped wonderfully in the Lib
erty loan campaigns and it is a GER
tainty that the people of Emmett will
help them in their drive If every
one should subscribe so cents or a
dollar to the boys it would be a great
help to them and be a cheer to the
giver. The boys of today are the
men of tomorrow, and are the ones
that will carry forward the great
national work which their fathers
have so ably set before them If we
are to have a clean and upright man
hood we must look after the boys of
today and see that they are kept
spiritually, morally, mentally and bod
lily awake. Knowing that the people
of Emmett have the Boy Scouts and
not only the Boy Scouts, but all of
Emmett at heart, they will come to
the aid of the boys and through the
Boy Scouts will help in a financial
way this enterprise which the Scouts
have so ably undertaken.
