YOUTH.

The Pensacola Tourists Club held
it's last regular meeting of the season

and, many of the city officials and
citizens were present, having been
given general invitation.

President j. W. Hunter. who was
formerly collector of customs at Peoria,

of Pensacola. He paid fine tribute
to the city and said he felt sure all
the tourists and many others would
come back next winter.
You have one of the most beauti-
full cities in the Southland and one
that is the fullest of attractions of any
that has been my privilege to visit.
President Hunter said. 1t presents
panorama which changes every day.
We tourists find your docks full of
fascination and we never grow weary
of visiting them day after day and at
each returning visit we find new ves-
sells have come and others have gone.
Mature has done much for your
city, IlTSL Dy throwing Il pIOlGGlliS
piece of land on the other side of the
beautiful bay. And also giving you
such a narrow channel as an outlet
to the Gulf, this making it easily pro-
tected and it is no wonder that your
excellent harbor has been the envy of
all foreign nations from its first dis
covery. Nature in her lavish gifts has
placed near by an exhaustable foun-
tain of the purest water in the United
States. This 1 get from a naval Offices
who advises me that the government
survey shows your water to be over
9S per cent. pure. This information
at least to your speaker is quite new,
and 1 think also to the majority of
tourists. present. You pardon me if l
suggest that you publish this fact and
scatter the news broadcast over the
great Northwest. II you would you
would bring joyous information to
thousands of aged men and women and
invalids. who recognize that the vital
forces are waning and they would rush
to Pensacola by thousands for it is
certainly here, the real fountain of
youth is to be found.
THE enterprises of your citizens
seem to be keeping pace with the pro-
gress of the times, l az advised that
you are now seeking to establish a
Community Service, which is certainly
a progressive step that is being taken
by the enterprising forward moving
people of the entire country. And here
it has been recognized by the United
States government In doing this you
are not only advancing the present
population but you are leading the
young men and women in the path that
leads to the highest ideal. The mother
will always feel safe concerning her
daughters interests when she knows
that she is in attendance of any func-
tion at the Community Club. Fathers
will feel that his son will be sur
rounded by the most elevating influ-
ences.
Again we are living in a new age
in which we recognize that it isn't
the diamonds that glitter, but it is the
true, pure woman and the frank and
honest man that is to receive recog-
milton in the future. The purpose and
object of the Community Club is to
impress this conception upon the
young men and women of today and
we sincerely wish you success in your
undertaking in Pensacola.
II again thank you for the numerous
and many courtesies shown us during
the winter and bid you goodbye"
