PENSACOLA PARKS.

During the recent press convention
there was nothing which aroused more
constant and favorable comment than
the many beautiful parkways Of this
city.
Pensacola has its old Spanish found
ers to thank for its many wide streets
and numerous small. open spaces,
which later were concerted into the
pretty park which dot the city. like so

institution of Washington, conducted
under government supervision:
June rs, 1920.
Editor OF the Pensacola Journal,
Pensacola, Fla.
Dear Sir:-I have read your recent
editorial commencing the people of
the Third District of Florida for re-
nominating the Hon. John Henry
Smithwick for second term as their
representative in the lower House of
Congress.
/ have resided in Washington for
a number of years and / can truth

you stated in your editorial in refer
ence to Congressman Smithwick.
have known number of congress
men from this section of the country
and / do not know of one who has
done as much and who has learned as
much in such short time as your
Congressman Snithwick. He is a
man OF courage, integrity and unusual
ability, and il the people OF the Tnird
District could only realize how sue
cessful he has been and continue to
have him as their. representative, in
d few years, he would become one OF
the real distinguished men of the ma
ton.
1 am a Southern man, but I know
congressman from all sections of the
country and I except none in making
the statement that Congressman
|Smithwick has surpassed them all for
mastering the situation in Washing
ton, in the short time in which he has
had the opportunity to Become ac-
auainted with all the various details
of the government. -
Yours truly,
President.

Mrs. Germans hostility to this scheme
of Dicky's only added ito my dislike
of the whole business. I wanted to
get away from the house that held
this beautiful girl who was SO eager
ito grasp the advantages that my hus-
iband held out to her.
Sure" Dicky assented heartily.
viii you tell us what our bill is ?"
He turned to Miss Draper.
"One dollar and a half"
"Each?" queried Dicky. That
means So total"
"oh, no." protested Miss Draper.
"Seventy-five cents apiece, $50 for
the total bill"
Nonsense" said Dicky, handing her

dinners were worth 81 apiece anyway"
He drew another bill from his pocket

ures on the corner.

Marvin to the Pennsylvania station and
give you $40 on account, the ten to be
deducted from the fifty I promised you
for poses"

mans reluctance to be business-like

to clothe nearly all my conversation IN
slang phrases" I retorted.

This county might learn much from
Alabama, where they are raising and
shipping hogs through cooperative
movement From lovalities over seven
teen thousand hogs were shippto to
market. ten thousand from Ozark and
two thousand from Midland bringing
a combined sum of $242,S74.50. 1t is
estimated that the hogs from the en-

The splendid specimens of swine

Press Comment
Quincy Setting the Pace.

Quincy Setting the Pace.
The Gadsden County Times gives
out the pleasing information that
Quincy is soon to have a white way.
Already the posts and other materials
have been shipped and work is to be
begun Immediately upon arrival.
This Is an improvement that has
long been needed. 1t will add great
deal to the appearance of the town.
The merchants around the square
have been busy getting ready for the
NEW lights. Beginning at the express
office, nearly every store on the east
side of the square has put on fresh
coat OF paint, and the contagion is
spreading.
With her snew paved streets, her
newly painted stores and residences
and white way, Quincy can hold her
head as high as any of her neigh
bors.
The telephone company is about to
finish the work of laying underground
cables. The telephone poles will soon
all be down. There are to be nc
wires around the square.
Another improvement that is worth
| mentioning is the new cement walk
| in front of the Empire theatre. Guests
can now walk from the hotel to the
pictures without wading in mud.
There are yet improvements to be
made. The weeds that are being al
lowed to grow up in vacant lots should
come down. No doubt the owners OF
these lots will see to it that these
spots are not left as eye sores in this
lotherwise beautiful old town.-Ocala

Model and Why MaSge Helped.

Model and Why Macge Helped.
Grace Draper! Are you crazy? You
don't even know the name of this man,
and you're accepting a position to be
"a model for his pictures" Mrs Cor
mans voice was shrill, Mortified. Se-
cretly l sympathized with her. If the
beautiful Miss Draper had been my
sister and a. stranger like Dicky had
offered her a position, !, too, should
have demanded proof Of his identity
and good faith.
But Dicky was equal to the occasion.
Before Miss Draper could answer he
had drawn his card case from his
pocket and offered his card tS Mrs.
German.
You are quite right. Mrs. Gormah,"
he said soothingly. You are entitled
to know my name and all about me.

she said II am perfectly satisfied,

German. II have no doubt Mr.. Ora

returned.
We went out of the house and down
the path to the gate before Dicky
spoke.
That was awfully decent of you,
Madge to square things with Mrs. Cor
man like that. / appreciate it, 1 as

spoke grandiloquently.

harbor another time. / really feel too
tired to do any more today"

to remind me that my fatigue. was of

For my own part felt that I never
wished to see or hear Of food again.
The silent journey home, added TO the
events of the day, had brought on one
of my ugly morbid moods.
