Pensacola Places

Pensacola is an interesting place;
more interesting than many of even
the oldest inhabitants know The
Journal is going to print a series of
short descriptive articles treating some
of the place that are interesting for
historic, commercial, legendary and
sentimental reasons.
Too long Pensacola has floated along
on the strength of the fact that she
had an unsurpassed harbor, wonderful
climate and an excellent situation. All
of which assertions are undeniabIy
true, she has so many strong
points. some already discovered and
some yet to be discovered and develop,
that those other points should begin
to come to the front little more con-
spicuously.
Any information that any Pensaco-
Han can offer will be gladly received
addressed to The Pensacola Journal.

With oats and barley, where grass or

afford ideal grazing for the sheep. The

Use the Library this Summer.

Not village or country community
in the state should be without books
this summer. The boys and girls out
of school and the young people home
for their vacations need books for their
leisure hours. For grown ups too no
better recreation offers itself during
the hot days when one wants to sit
still and be cool than reading interest
ing books.
Books on travel will take one, In i'm
agination at least, to regions of sum-
mer all the year Round. Others will
take one to regions of perpetual snow.
Books on biography will help one to
understand how others have lived and
achieved. Books on modern social
questions will help to make clear the
problems of our country and will make
better citizens. Books of fiction will
broaden ones own social experience
and bring light, humor and joy.
Choose books along your own line of
interest. Read a few at least. Or,
better still, read books along new
line. Broaden your interests. Make
the time spent in your reading really
worth while.
