FUN, FROL|C, AND
FOOD FEATURES Of
TOURISTS PICNIC

All arrangements for the Tourist
picnic at the Fair Grounds today are
complete, and the picnicing will begin
at 10 o'clock and will not end until
everything to eat, do and say has
been eaten, done and said, announced
w. H. Taylor, president of the Tour
list Club. The eats will be furnished
free to the tourists on the grounds,
and it will not be necessary for them
to bring anything but themselves,
though the committee in charge of
the dinner would like for those who
drink coffee to bring a cup and
spoon.
Residents of the city not tourists,
who have assisted with the programs
at the Tourist Club meetings, are
likewise invited.
A special committee has been Gre
ated to furnish the amusements at
the picnic. 1t is whispered that sew
eral hens will be turned loose for the
ladies to catch. Potato races were at
first planned, but the idea was aban-
doned because it was not thought
that the club could stand the great
expense; sack races will probably be
had instead.

TO CELEBRATE OPENING
OF new LILLIAN BRIDGE

Plans are beng made for a great
celebration to be held when the Lii
liam bridge is opened for use on April
1, according to Charles R. Barclay,
who spent the day in Pensacola Mon
day on business. Mr.. Barclay stated
that the celebration will probably take
the form Of barbecue, though it is
not yet definite.
In discussing the delay in finishing
the bridge, Mr.. Barclay said that the
weather in January had made pro-
gress slow, and that until now he
could not buy the steel for the draw.
This material has arrived, however,
and Mr.. Worden, in charge of thu
work, will commence operations at the
draw today, insuring its early COM
pletion.
Mr.. Barclay said that plans are on
foot for connecting Lillian directly
with Pensacola by telephone, which
will be further link in the connec-
ton Of South Baldwin with Escambia.
" He is enthusiastic over the work on
the bridge, and stresses the necessity
of building good roads from the Es-
Gambia approach.

COMPLAINS Of LOSS
JEWELS AND MONEY

Louise Hoffman, white, went to the
police station yesterday at p. M,
and made complaint of the loss of d
valuable pin, jewelry and $40 in cash,
these things, she said, having been
taken from a drawer in her dresser.
She placed the blame upon a white
stranger who gave his name as Cur
tbs, and who said that he resided in
Pennsylvania, and that he was a
travelling salesman. When located,
he was so intoxicated that he was
unable to give his name and was dock
eted as "John Doe" until he had a
nap, last night telling who he was
and where he came from.
A development on his part, he
claimed, was that he had lost the sum
of SIS, and thought this had been
taken from his Pockets by some fe-
male, whom he gould neither name nor
identify. He was found in the lower
part of town by Officers Tarrants and
Murphy.
