A BROMIDE.


A BROMIDE.
(By Herbert FeIkel, Managing Edi-
tor OF the St. Augustine Evening
Record.)
Mrs Mayes and Percy Hayes,
Our hosts in Pensacola,
Will have to strain to entertain
The press with Coca Cola.
Among the men who push the pen
S. To earn an honest penny
In Florida we know there are
Five hundred-odd If any.
Add to the men who push a pen
The women and the sum
Will be increased a score at least
Let's take them as they come:
Appleyard is quite a card
He's printer for the state;
Though full of tricks in politics.
His jobs are never late.
Gilbert Leach, another peach.
Has quite wealth OF BRAIN
Clarence Woods who had the goods
Was also on our train
Full Of meat is every sheet
OF Stovail's mighty paper,
While Willis Ball just prints 1t all
A mass OF heated vapor.
Bobo Dean Is not so mean
When once you know the fellow,
For it's his views and not his news
That some folks say are yellow.
Robert Holly, Bob the jolly,
Is also famed for fighting;
Goode M Query, quite contrary,
Seldom right, but always writing.
A pair of Browns in different towns
Are cutting quite caper;
Black and Blue are writing, too.
On Arthur Green's white paper.
Edward Fitz pens brilliant bits
Which far and wide are quoted;
Walter Haynes takes lots of pains
For managing he's noted.
Old Thorndyke's wit Is every bit
AS fragrant as the violet,
While G. M. West has done his best
Bay county folks to Pilot.
There's a rumor that our Bloom(er)
In Polk is growing bloated;
But for rakin' in the bakin'
Bill Traer's rag is noted.
Mommer Ruhls nobody's fool
She up both soon and late;
Several Banners use their hammers
On everything they hate.
Thomas, Wayne, is just the same
IL. Hxr 1av
Let's not forget old Tripd)lett,
Nor Lakelsnd's Telegram.
There's Worthington and Stoneman's
fun
You cannot overrate;
d. B. Mckay, a prince we'll say;
And Dobson's Advocate.
II I could think of words to link
With each mans name in rhyme
/ might go on with such song
Until the end of time.
But there's a score, or maybe more,
or papers in our ring
Whose editors like Mr.. Storrs
Won't rhyme with anything.
The title News" we oft confuse
Thcrere twenty on our. IoHs
Records and Times the reader finds
From Clay to Seminole.
Heralds, too: Metrops, few,
From Hastings to the best;
There are Colonies running Journals
From Pensy to Key West.
stars and Suns are bright with puns:
one Eagles head in brilliant hue;
There's Breeze enough; Tribunes
rough:
A Sentinel. or maybe. two.
POSTS and Leaders tell their readers
What Independents missed;
Two Democrats, not one for Cats,
We shan't neglect to list.
love each one, emitting none;
There's much I'd like to've said;
Lots of men can push pen,
But pencils must be lead.
Annual Convention State Press As
sociation, Pensacola, Fla, June 1920.
HUXLEY gee! Hurrah for Hardee!
That steam roller must have been
can by electricity.
The republicans are splitting again.
How do you like this breeze?
Pensacola; the gateway of the
South.
Try our Gulf dip and our Bayview
flip.
Has Florida a fine Fourth Estate?
Wen say she has.
They don't seem TO be keeping an
of those dark horses in the dark.
Wanted: Ladies to sew buttons on
the second story of the Smith and
Rawlins building, says an exchange,
