Gov. Hardee is the distinguished
guest of Pensacola today, and Pen
sacolians are pleased to have him. 1t
is a very unusual honor to be elected
to the head of a great state, and Gov.
Hardee was elected by 81 flattering
vote in a contest with some Of Flori-
da's best men.
1t has been my privilege to attend
number of sessions of the Florida
legislature, and I unhesitatingly say
that Gov. Hardee made the best pre-
siding officer I ever saw in either
house. This does not mean that
there have not been splendid presid
ing officers. but for getting legisla-
ton through in an orderly and lawful
manner, 1 think Gov. Hardee sur
passed them all.
When the contest for governor was
on, Gov. Hardee announced that he
would not become a candidate for any
other office while he was serving as
governor, and 1 rather think he must
regret that promise at this time, for
he could very probably be elected to
congress from his district next time
and then spend a period in Washing
ton after completing his duties at
Tallahassee.
Cory Field is to be dedicated to-
day in honor of one of the finest
young men Florida has ever produced,
and l wish to commend the Kiwanians
for their desire to honor him.
never did think much of erecting ex-
pensive monuments of cold marble or
bronze, but it is a wise idea to name
useful institutions for men we wish
to honor. To name an airplane land
ing field after an aviator who served
his country earnestly and well is the
right, and thoughtful, and splendid
thing for the KiWanians to do.
I believe Dudley Barrow was one
of the best liked boys in Pensacola
when he was growing up, and after
he entered the business world. AS
advertising manager of The Journal
in a large way, and after Mr.. Mayes'
death he was The Journals success
full manager for a year.
Now Dudley lives up in New York,
and is in the insurance business, and
the Hoosick Falls Times has the fol-
lowing to say about him, which will
be read with interest by his friends
here. Dudley may be having fine
success there, but I imagine he is
missing going fishing and playing
baseball as he enjoyed in the days
of yore:
D. c. Barrow, manager of the Bar
row Insurance Agency of this village,
left today for Buffalo to be one of rs
guests of the Merchants Mutual Au-
to Liability Insurance Company for
two days of conferences and enter
tainment. The company is calling in
the 25 agents out of 353 in New York
and Pennsylvania who stand highest
in the amount of business written In
=. given period, and the honor which
comes in the selection of Mr.. Barrow
in that number is not an empty one.
Considering the size of the village and
the fact that this is the first year OF
business for the Barrow Insurance
Company in Hoosick Falls, the honor
is an unusual one.
The company pays the expenses of
the 25 agents and they are given the
opportunity of gaining much valuable
Information to help them in their bus
mess.
A y. Weller is back in Pensacola
again after some years spent down
on St. Andrews bay, and we ought to,
by all means, prevail upon him to re-
main here Tor ne mas SOlIA MS bGSlL@S9S
in Bay county where he was success
fully engaged in the fish, industry
on a large scale. 1t seems mighty
good to have the old timers come
back and want to again become cit
izen of Pensacola. l know how 'ne
old boys feel when they get in ew
There are many line
places and thousands of good people,
but there is no place just like Pensa-
cola, and Pensacolians are the best Of
all.
I wish to Second the motion made
by Chipley Jones that we hold Sat
suma Fair in Pensacola next fall.
This is in the center of the Satsuma
territory and by holding this annual
fair it would be visited by hundreds
wishing to come to this section for
investing in lands and engaging in
the Satsuma industry.
Millions of dollars will be made in
growing Satsumas during the next |
Jew years. and a fair held in Pensa-
