On Friday, Feb. 10Th, at IL a. ~,
death claimed Verna Marie Manhart,
the beautiful six-year old daughter
Of Mrs. Emelia Manhart, Of Hon
dale. Verna's winning ways en-
deared her to all who saw her. She
was unusually bright and active for
her age, and her death, after only
a few weeks illness from Brights
disease, came as a great shock to
all who know her. School remained
closed on Friday, as none Of the
children who had known and loved
Vema could think of anything but
the loss Of their schoolmate and
playmate. Services were held at
the Roman Catholic church, Father
Garnet officiating. Six little school
mates, accompanied by their teach
er, Mr.. Robert Burns. acted as pail
bearers. lnterment was at Noun
tainview cemetery. There were many

friends in Deming and HOndale and
the deepest sympathy was express
ed for the Borrowing mother.

MANY PLEASED 1T
THE ESCRIbhkOS
PLANTATION TRIP

Several boatloads of people assem-
bled at Escribanos Point yesterday
from Pensacola, Milton and surround

going on there Of a cooperative farm.
Mr.. Faircloth had everything in read
mess for a jaunt through the farm
on arrival Of the boats, and afterward
for a high-class fish chowder dinner
with everything that goes with 1t.
While the development there is only
four months old, the people who went
on the excursion were highly pleased
with the progress.
p. l.. Rollo who was with the party,
said to a reporter of The Journal:
This cooperative farm is a remark
able and timely undertaking; one that
bound to lead large development
along lines absolutely necessary at the
present for helping to maintain the
country during through which we are
now passing and to the carrying out of
a required policy-that is of feeding the
people after the war, and taking care
of the industrial population when
things slow up. / also believe that by
the easiest cooperation of our citizen
ship, the work you have undertaken is
going to be more far-reaching tnan
you have anticipated, as it is going to
be the basis of a large agricultural ac
tivity than West Florida has ever
known

excellent one; enabling persons who de-
sire to purchase home to have it man.

proved without taking their time away
from their business. If the party have
the initial payments for the first year
he can easily earn money enough for
the rest Of the payments and at the end
of the five years, a fine tract of we'll
developed land. The soil out there ap-
pears to be good the crops planted doing
well. the conditions there are fine and
that big tract of muck land will prove
most valuable when cleared and plant,

the trip was excellent, the fish chow
der was the best / ever ate and every
one on the trip seemed to have enjoyed
the day.
