The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1922-11-18
BY BRYAN MACK

There is to be a new newspaper In
West Florida-the Camp Walton We'll
come-of which J. B. Killegrew will be
editor and general manager. The paper
will be published by a stock company
composed of practically every citizen of
Camp Walton. J. w. Brooks is presi-
dent Of the company and w. B. Harbe-
son and DR.. J. H. Beale are among the
largest stockholders. Editor Killegrew
is a man Of considerable experience, and
promises something out Of the ordinary
when the Welcome makes its appear
ance.
Camp Walton has become quite a
summer resort, and next season bids
fair to more than double the crowds
that went there in the past. All Of the
Sound country is beginning to show new
life and the time is not far distant when
all Of Santa Rosa Sound will be lined
with homes surrounded with Satsuma
groves.
Those persons who are familiar with
the miles Of unsettled stretches along
the Sound may question the statement,
but l am sure that the next five years
will make change that will be a reve-
lation.
What is being done elsewhere can be
done alone the waters of the Choctow-
hatchee. I remember in the not distant
past when st. Andrews bay had very
few people along that lovely body OF
water. Between Parker and st. An
drews there were not dozen families,
and now there are some ten or fifteen
thousand people in that same territory,
with the development in its infancy.
The st. Andrews bay country-and
innl Ind oil
one of the finest sections of Florida with
a wonderfully bright future. The citrus
fruit industry there is now in a flourish
ing condition, and new settlers are 60
Ing in every day. Panama City, Mill
vile, st. Andrews are all growing and
until they will be one large
city in short time.
jacksonville people have chartered a |
special train and are making trip into |
South Florida, going down the east
coast. This trip is made to acquaint |
the people Of Jacksonville with other |
parts Of the state and to build UP a |
spirit of friendship among the people |
Of all parts of the state. It is doing
good.
A few days ago I was talking with
Mayor Bayliss about Pensacola people
trip of this character Mayor
Bayliss and number of Pensacola
boosters made trip to Miami last
spring and not only enjoyed the trip but
derived benefit from it, and at the same
time put Pensacola on the map as a
i've place.
Mayor BaylisS hopes to make another
trip with a large number of business
men and women going along. The trip
IS planned to be made some time when
he winter season is at its height. By
making the trip then much literature
nay be distributed to the visitors in
other parts of the state and they may
De interested enough in Pensacola to
stop by here on their way home.
This trip as proposed by Mayor Bay
iss ought not to be confined to PEN
'acola alone. It must be an All-West
Florida Special and carry the people Of /
very section. All Of the counties from 1
1scambia to Leon might we'll make the
rip. ana with the enthusiasm Of the /
forces Of West Florida the i
success OF the trip would be certain. /
