t J We all note the scarcity of wood byJ the price asked in comparison with

i It the price of twenty years ago It is

t getting HO scarce that the phosphate

f men who in years past were sur j

1Rounded by forest find it difficult to getwood to dry their rock We note in

4jc the Tampa News that a company hasJ R been formed in that city to supply the

r phosphate men in the various sectionsi of the state with coal for fuel One

or J remarkable thing is that the coal willf f be brought from West Virginia and

Pennsylvania as it can he had cheapert from these states than from Alabama-

A coal dock has been erected in Tam ¬

4 the sovereigns of Marion and if her failed in his ambition he had as much

good nature for himself and the worldthe day after his defeat as he did the
