l feel like a Methodist preacher. By
this I do not intend to convey the idea
that have become any less wicked have
sworn off drinking coca colas, pray for
| my enemies, or anything like that, but
feel like a Methodist preacher feels
when he moves into a new town and the
| neighbors send him in all of the nice
things to eat.
Possibly the Methodists don't do that
way now, but that is the way they used
to de- down in Calhoun county in the
old days.
The farmers around this section evil
IDENTIFY have conspired to feed me. Henry
Blum, who lives out on Rural Route No.
last night sent me in two stalks OF
sugar cane measuring more than eight
feet in height, which you will agree is
a rather likely stalk.
But that is not all of the sugar cane
that has been given to me. No sir. o. o.
Hughes, who lives In the Robertsdale
neighborhood brought me in some fine
cane and a package of peanuts grown on
his farm. These peanuts are the large
variety, but he says grow like the small
Spanish peanuts and the peas hold on to
vines when pulled up. This crop, he says,
is exceedingly profitable, and he finds a
ready market for all he can grow.
Then H. D. Nixon, who resides at
Robertsdale brought to me a turnip that
looked more like a kettle drum than a
vegetable. 1t was 10 ga inches around,
and he had bunch of ten that weighed
2515 pounds. These turnips were planted
the second week in August, which shows
how quickly money crop can be planted
and marketed.
Our circulation solicitor Mr. Higdon,
said one good farmer asked him to bring
me a bushel of sweet potatoes, but he
refused. Now know a perfectly good cir
culation solicitor that is liable to get in
trouble with his boss if he ever does
anything like that again. Not that
especially like sweet potatoes, but County
Demonstration Agent Smith has asked
us to eat sweet potatoes until it hurts.
We are getting together again in
Pensacola. Our people are working for
the upbuilding of the city, and are not
eternally quarreling and fighting among
themselves. In the matter of selecting
candidate to represent Pensacola for
place on the United States Shipping
Board, the entire city agreed in a whole
hearted manner to support the one the
committee agreed upon. This is the spirit
that is REQUIRED to build cities and make
a happy people.
Every day I am asked about the bill
that is going to be introduced in the next
legislature which viii provide for a di
vorce commissioner. don't know very
much about the bill. In fact know only
what has been repeated to me by per
sons who say they know about il, there
fore should like to SEQ copy OF the bill
ana if anyone has copy shall be
pleased to receive 1t and let the people
know what are its provisions.
Agreeing to the plan for constructing
the Ferry Pass Bridge, and providing for
the completion of the Waycross- Florida
road, stamps the action Of the road de-
partment with wisdom and foresight
These are necessary to permit tourists
to get into the state, and while they af-
feet the sections where they are located
it also vitality affects the entire state. BY
the time the Ferry Pass bridge is com
pleted the early part Of 1924 there will not
be an unbridged stream between Pen
sacola and Miami.
This Is the day the navy celebrates, and
when the sailor boys are out pleasure
bent there is always a gay time in the
old town. Pensacola likes the boys with
britches legs big at the bottom. They are
always good fellows, and Pensacola loves
them.
Now comes the annual search for the
pawn ticket for the overcoat and also the
annual search for the janitor Of the flat
Observation-Disclosures Gazette.
