DIDN'T KNOW WHAT
TO DO WITH MONEY

We're you ever worried because you
had more money than you knew what
to do with? 1t seems impossible, but
it happened to Pensacola tourists.
The Tourist Club had in the treasury
$10.07, and as it is against the laws
of the club to leave any money in the
treasury at the end of the season, the
tourists labored hard at their meet
ing yesterday to find way to get
rid of this surplus. Everyone took
the question seriously, and it was
debated at length. Several plans were
introduced, but every one had strong
opposition. After much futile eff
fore, the crowd began to get restless
and one man muttered out, more to
himself than to the crowd: "ThroW
it away. Cremate it." Finally after
a hot discussion and close vote i
was decided ii give it to the program
committee and the secretary.

Gulf Short Drive.

Two hundred and fifty thousand
dollars is being spent in the Sarasota
section of Manatee county for good
roads. The concrete and sand-asphalt
top is now finished from Phillip
creek north to the Hudson bayou
bridge. This will give a beautiful
drive to Phillip creek and to the
bridge that spans the Bay of Sara
sofa on the south. The distance that
is finished in miles is almost six. The
county commissioners have the road
between the bay bridge and the "jack-
knife" bridge that connects Bay
Island and Siesta Key almost finished,
and when this is opened to the pub

your jails, your asyluns; sin is the
undertaken at your funerals.

Jericho Was Asleep"
Gypsy Smith, Jr., took his text
for last nights sermon from the first
verse of the ninth chapter Of st.
John: "And Jesus entered and passed
through Jericho"
Because Jericho was asleep all
we know of it was that Jesus passed
through" the evangelist said in
opening his sermon on the story of
the conversion of Zaccheus, the tax
gatherer.
"Old Jericho was asleep; if she
hadn't been there would have been
different history of her. She didn't
know the psychological moment was
at hand, she didn't know that Christ
was passing through. But Jesus
/ came through Jericho and we have
this record: and Jesus entered and
passed through Jericho Old Jer-
icho was asleep.
"Jesus visits cities just as much
today as He did in the olden times.
We pastors have very little to do with
the arrangements of this meeting. 1t
is Gods work. Christ is visiting
Pensacola now, and if you don't see
il these series of meetings the spirit
IF Christ there is something wrong
with your religion-your vision has

Vision To See God.
''Vision is a great thing. If you
had vision you wdald see God in
every grain Of dust, in every blade
of grass on the earth. Never a spar
row dies but that the Son of God
does not go to the funeral. He is in
the weed as well as in the rainbow
He places in the heavens. He's
nearer you than the glasses you wear
on your nose. He's nearer you than
the friend by your side; nearer than
the book you hold in your hand. You
could see Him if you had vision"
The preacher then took up Fac
, cheus, the chief sinner of Jericho, and
his conversion. He explained Fac
cheus' position-a high position-in
Je<Seho, by giving the present war as
an illustration. Zaccheus was tax
collector for the Romans; he collect
ed from his own people tribute money
to pay to the Roman government. He
was hated, the preacher said, by his
> own people. He told of how Fac

An unqualified denial was given
Tuesday by Abbott Morris, of Balti-
more, president of the Blue Mountain
Land company, which last fall purch-
ased the land in Washington county
on which the Blue Mountain hotel
will be built, that the cOmpany's
plans have been abandoned owing to
Washington county going dry. A dis
patch to this latter effect was c1rcu-
lated in some Of the Western Mary

There is absolutely no truth in the
report" said Mr. Morris. "Arcnltect

plans for the proposed hotel and just
as soon as possible work on the new
hostelry will be started. We have
