A Man For The Good Of
County
B.P. Edge, Member of Board
of Commissioners, Working for Upbuild of Okaloosa County
B.P.
Edge, commissioner from the
southeast section of Okaloosa county, was in
Crestview Tuesday on his way to Milligan to meet with the board of
county
commissioners in the regular monthly session.
Mr.
Edge is a man of broad, liberal
views and honest convictions on public questions and uses his vote and
influence as a member of the county board for the best interests of the
entire
people of the county, regardless of any personal feeling which he may
have
against any particular individual living in any part thereof.
Niceville
is Mr. Edge’s home community,
a section of the county which he is proud to hail from, as a more
law-abiding,
industrious people cannot be found in the State of Florida. The
people of this section are not worrying over the
advent of the boll
weevil, hookworm, the high cost of living or European war, but are
moving along
in an even tenor, tilling the soil and thanking the Lord for generous
blessings
bestowed in the past and the elimination of political turmoil for the
next four
years.
The
Niceville section promises to rival South Florida
in the production of citrus fruits, cattle
raising and other industries. The
Satsuma orange, grapefruit, tomquats, in fact, almost every variety of
tropical
fruits raised in the extreme southern sections of Florida can be found in the
Niceville
country in a state of growth and production unsurpassed in the tropics.
“The
only difficulty with this portion of Florida,”
said Mr. Edge, “is we have never
thoroughly demonstrated to the home seeker in Florida what can be accomplished on
the
lands in this section of the state. We
have lived too long on Nature’s gifts-wild game, fish, etc., ignoring
the great
opportunities of wealth awaiting us through a little physical exertion. But the people have awakened from their
lethargy, new life has been injected into the homes, more interest is
manifested in schools, roads, churches, the general welfare of the
people and
material advancement and development of Okaloosa county.”
Mr. Edge is optimistic over the future
of this section and thinks a more systematic campaign of advertising
the county
to home seekers and investors should be inaugurated without further
delay.
The Finishing Touches
Hotel
Okaloosa is receiving the finishing touches of the carpenters and
painters this
week, and the whole hotel has an inviting appearance.
The furnishings are expected to arrive at any
time now, which will be of the best and latest design.
It has not yet been announced who will be the
manager of the Okaloosa, but Mr. Bowers is determined to have
no one in
charge that is not competent in the art of hotel management. The Okaloosa is going to be made a favorite
resort for travelers to stop and enjoy life while in this section of Florida.
You Naughty, Bad Boys
“It
has been reported to me that certain young men and boys, the names of
whom I
withhold for the present, assembled at the L & N depot last Sunday
night
and misbehaved so badly that ladies and others awaiting the train had
to leave
the depot in disgust and go to Crestview to catch the train.”
“These
miscreants may not know that there is
a law to punish such conduct, but if they will take the pains to read
Sec. 3570
of the General Statutes of Florida they will see that loud, wanton and
lascivious persons in speech or behavior, common railers and brawlers,
are subject
to be punished by fine of $250, or by imprisonment for six months, and
the
Sheriff is authorized to arrest such parties without warrant.”
“I
certainly would regret to have a bunch of
our town boys brought before me on such a serious charge, and if it
does happen
it will not be my fault, nor will I be responsible for the result. I hereby warn all parties disposed to act in
such a manner that such conduct will only not be tolerated, but the
names of
the guilty parties will be made public.”
“Take
due notice and govern yourself
accordingly.”
J.T.
Mapoles, County
Judge.
It
is to be regretted that the “beautiful
city” of Milligan should be humiliated and harassed by a bunch of young
fellows
whose “loud, wanton and lascivious behavior” caused ladies and others
to leave
the depot and come to Crestview to catch the train, where such conduct
on the
part of our young men and boys is never indulged in, and at all times
under all
conditions the most profound respect is accorded the ladies.
Owing
to the fact that Milligan is one of
those “beautiful” unincorporated cities it is the duty of the county
judge to
take cognizance of such infractions of the state statutes, and from the
tone of
his warning it is to be presumed that if the boys are ever brought
before his
honor for trial that he will administer a dose that will have a
salutary effect
upon the future conduct of Milligan’s young men and boys.
Exchange Building
L.C.
Vaughn has begun the
erection of a building on Main
Street which
will be used as a telephone exchange. The
building is not what Mr. Wallace intends to
occupy the lot,
and will in the near future embellish Main Street with a two-story
brick construction. Progress is rapidly
being made in the
installation of the phone system, which is going to be one of the most
complete
in modern arrangements in all West Florida.
Amazed At Progress
J.A.
Hussey, one of Ponce DeLeon’s
best and most progressive
citizens, was in Crestview Monday. Mr.
Hussey is not a citizen of Okaloosa but has many personal friends
throughout the county, and naturally feels and interest in its
development and
prosperity. He is thinking seriously of
becoming a citizen of Crestview, believing that it is destined to
become the
largest and best town in this section of our state.
He was amazed at the rapid growth of
Crestview within the past six months and says the town is attracting
much
attention.
Crestview is on the map as
a good town. Help to keep it there.
Road Accepted By The Board
Highway Between Baker and
Crestview Becomes County
Property--Built
By
Private Donations
The
board of county commissioners met in regular monthly session on Tuesday
and
transacted much important business, among which was the acceptance of
bonds of
county officers, also the designation of the bank of Laurel Hill as a
depository for the general, fine and forfeiture, and outstanding
indebtedness
fund, and the bank of the Baker as a depository for the road and
special bridge
fund, said depositories furnishing sufficient surety bonds to the state
comptroller before receiving such deposits from the
county.
The
road between Baker and Crestview, which
was constructed with private donations and work from citizens of the
two towns
and people in the country through which the road passes was accepted by
the
board as one of the county’s established highways with the
understanding that
the road is not to receive any assistance from the 1916-17 road and
bridge fund
and its upkeep will have to be maintained by public spirited citizens. The road will used as one of the lateral
routes of the Spanish Trail and where hard surfaced will be a favorite
highway
for farmers as well as auto tourists to travel over, as it traverses a
country
dotted with splendid farms and beautiful forests.
The
board was in a complaisant mood,
listening attentively to complaints and suggestions from those having
business
before the body. All members of the
board were present--Messrs. Edge, Davis,
Baggett, Givens and Rozier.
The
people throughout Okaloosa county feel thankful
to the commissioners for their kind consideration of the public
welfare, and
wish for each member separately and collectively a happy Christmas and
prosperous new year.
Seventy-Five Days
A
man by the name of Craig received the merciful sentence of 75
days in
the county jail from Judge Mapoles for the familiar offense of
selling
blind Uger whiskey. Craig was given a
jury trial, but being dissatisfied with the light sentence and good
judgment of
the jury appealed the case to the circuit court.
Prominent Visitor
Hon.
W.H. Mapoles, editor of the
Okaloosa News, and one of the most
astute as well as successful politicians in West
Florida,
made us a pleasant call last week. Bill
is very optimistic of the future of his new county, and in order to
devote his
whole time to the development of material resources and up building has
decided
to eschew politics for the present in the conduct of his paper. The idea is not a bad one, and we shall watch Bill’s
experiment with great interest, knowing his
penchant for
political direction.--Milton Times.
Five thousand population

Thinks Well Of Crestview
T.C.
Kenington of Red
Bay was in
Crestview Monday and was so
favorably impressed with the future of the town as a business point and
residence place that he may decide to locate here.
Mr. Kenington is owner of a small saw
mill in his country, but thinks to convert his business into a shingle
and
stave mill here would be more profitable. Raw
material for such mill products is abundant and
conveniently located
to Crestview, and shipping facilities as good as can be found anywhere
in West
Florida, with two railroads, running east, west and north.
Believes In System
C.B.
Ferdon is one those men who
believes in “system” for everything
which he does or is in any way connected with. Around
his turpentine still, situated about one and half
miles from
Crestview, neatness and cleanliness is the one feature of the business
that
most attracts the visitor’s attention. At
this place everything moves along with military
precision, no waste
of time or material is tolerated, and every man connected with the
working of
turpentine and rosin performs his duty with an accuracy.
It is a pleasure to visit Ferdon’s
still.
Christmas Week Program
The
churches and schools of Crestview will give a community program and
tree on
Saturday evening, December 23. The place
for the entertainment has not been definitely decided upon, but is
presumed
that one of the churches will be selected. The
program will be rendered by the school children
mainly, consisting
of a Mother Goose set by the primary grades, Dickens’ Christmas Carol
by the
grammar-grades. Songs and recitations
will fill in the intervals between scenes, and close with “A Pageant of
the Nativity”
by the adult Bible classes. Then Santa
Claus will arrive and distribute gifts from his sleigh and the tree. All are cordially invited to attend and
assist in making the occasion a joyful success.
Many New Signs
A
traveling sign painter has been busy in Crestview this week placing
signs on
show windows and buildings. He is “on to
his job” as a painter, which is attested by the neat work with his
trade
mark. The Crestview Hardware Co., the
Okaloosa Hotel and several smaller signs were placed by the painter.
Mayo Ferdon
Mayo
Ferdon, one of the brightest
and most promising young boys
of Okaloosa county, and who is attending college in DeFuniak at the
present
time, visited his father and mother, Mr. and Mrs. C. B. Ferdon,
at their
country home near Crestview last Sunday. Mayo
is making splendid progress in his college work, but
takes an
interest in the current
events of the world, keeping
posted through the daily papers on the progress of the war in Europe,
the
proceedings of congress in Washington
and the high cost of living at home.
Help your town and the
town will help you.
Germany Would Like To Stop War
On Her Own Terms But the
Allied Countries Are Not Ready To Submit To the Kaiser’s Dictation
Germany
has proposed peace, but with the tacit understanding that she is to
have
conceded to her all of the territory gained by conquest and the
remaining
portion of Europe to be forever under the dictatorship of the German
government, which the Allies will never agree to, and means a
continuation of
the struggle to the “last ditch.” Read Germany’s
proposal:
The
restoration of Belgium,
and with conditions which would
practically leave it under German control and probably give over the port of Antwerp
to Germany.
The
restoration of occupied portions of
northern France but
with
economic control which would guarantee to Germany supplies of iron
and other
raw materials drawn from there.
Domination
of Mesopotamia by Germany
and Austria
to give them the path to the Persian gulf and break England’s
gateway to India
and Egypt.
To
award to Bulgaria
all of Serbia as
far south
as Nish, which would take from Serbia
as much territory as she gained in the Balkan wars.
They
expect Germany
will demand return of her
African colonies or at least propose to exchange them for French
colonies.
Turkey’s
interest are considered a
minor affair and not fully developed in the consideration of peace.
The
attitude of the Balkan nations of
Germany allies, it is expected will be set forth in the notes which
have been
dispatched from Sofia and Constantinople and nothing of them is known
at the
Balkan legislations here, except that Bulgaria probably will expect to
get
Macedonia and Dobradja, which formerly belonged to her, making the
Danube the
boundary between Bulgaria and Romania and shutting the latter from the
Black
Sea.
The
actual procedure in conveying Germany’s
proposal to her enemies, according to
precedent, begins with Charge Crew forwarded the note to Washington.
The
state department then will forward it to
the American ambassador resident in the country to be addressed and he
in turn
presents it to the government acting in the interest of Germany
and her allies.
One
immediate effect of peace developments
upon the United
States
will be to hold in abeyance practically all diplomatic issues pending
with the
warring countries.
The
new submarine issue with Germany,
the protest against deportation of
Belgians, the controversy with Great Britain over mails
and commerce, all will
mark time until it becomes apparent whether they will be solved by the
advent
of peace.
“After God had finished
the rattlesnake, the toad and the vampire He had some substance left

He made a knocker. Judas Iscariot was a
gentleman compared to a knocker, for after betraying his Master he had
enough
character to hang himself, and a knocker has not.--Exchange.
Postage
stamps are the only articles of necessity that have not advanced with

She is now giving the world an exhibition of
her speed in retreating before the onslaught of the German army.

at $12 per barrel is not, as high as
when selling for $6, provided you have the purchasing difference. We
have heard
of no family in this section being deprived of their time-honored
Sunday
biscuit.
It
is to be hoped the highbrows who will
constitute the next legislature of Florida
will have enough backbone to repeal Bryan’s
primary law and Trammell’s corrupt practice act; both of which
are a
disgrace to civilization and reflection upon the honesty of the voter. But there will be a few old barnacles in
the
next legislature who were members of the body that voted for these
measures to
become laws, and will no doubt vote for them to remain upon the statute
books,
as their repeal would be an acknowledgement of their colossal ignorance
and
unfitness as representatives in a law-making body.
The repeal of these two abominable acts
should be the first duty of the 1917 legislature, but we fear the
question will
never come up for consideration, which will mean the relegation of many
of the
members to the shelves of private life if some relief is not given the
people
from the harassing and expensive frauds.

Proceedings County Commissioners
Milligan, Fla., December 12, 1916
The regular meeting of the
Board of County Commissioners met here today with all members present.
Minutes of previous meeting
read and approved.
Reports of all county
officers were filed, examined and approved.
Quite a number of bills were
examined, approved and ordered paid.
Bonds of all county officers
were examined and approved.
The Banks of Laurel Hill and
Baker were designated as depositories for all the county’s funds for
the year
1917, said banks to furnish surety bonds to the Comptroller of State as
requested by before receiving each deposit.
Ordered that all parties
having maps of subdivisions or parcels of land or town lots living in
Okaloosa
county be requested to file a copy of same with Clerk of Circuit Court.
Ordered that in future no
bills be paid that have not been filed with the Clerk on or before the
first
Monday in the month, and that said bills be not considered until the
next
regular meeting of the board.
Report of viewing committee
on Griffith Ferry Road received and accepted and ordered that road be
made
public, but not subject to any appropriations or taxes for the year
1916-17.
Ordered that the $13,000.00
bond issue for Special
Road
and Bridge Dist. 2, be offered for sale, said bonds to bear interest at
6 per
cent and that notice be printed for thirty days in the County Journal. It
was also offered that a 7 mill tax be
levied annually on the real and personal property in said district. H. L. Griffith, A.A. Moore and W.
F. Wilkinson were appointed trustees for said special road bridge
district.
Mr. Murrow, a representative from the Comptroller’s
office met
with the Board and advised that he was assisting the Tax Collector in
arriving
at the taxes that have been paid on the 1915 assessment roll and that
in
January the Comptroller would order a tax sale of all property that
appeared
unpaid, said that this was the only practical method for the Tax
Collector to
pursue in order to arrive at a settlement.
Special Attention
Elsewhere
in this issue of The News will be found a notice from Tax Collector J.
A. Richbourg, which was ordered published by the board of
county
commissioners and the comptroller of the state, requesting that all tax
receipts, numbering from twelve to fourteen hundred, be returned to the
tax
collector. It was made necessary to
publish this notice on account of the tax books being stolen, so that
the tax
collector can ascertain who has and who has not paid taxes for the
years of
1915 and 1916. It will not cost you but
two cents to send your tax receipts in that the collector may get a
duplicate
of same, and he will return same promptly, wherein if you don’t do it,
it may
cause your land to be advertised for its taxes. Of
course your land would not sell, but still it would
cost the
county a good deal
financially, besides an immense lot of trouble and worry.
So the best way to save all of this worry and
trouble is to send in your receipts to the tax collector so that he may
get a
duplicate of same and know who have paid and who have not paid their
taxes.

“Tater Roasting Frolic”
A
party of young people, and a few of the old folks that wanted “time, oh
time,
in thy flight, make me a child just for tonight,” participated in a
social
gathering on the baseball diamond in Crestview Saturday night, but what
highfalutin name to give the new order of amusement, we admit an
inability to
find the social vocabulary as appropriate appellation.
But “that which is called a rose by any other
name would smell as sweet,” we shall designate the occasion as a “Tater
Roasting Frolic.”
Bond
fires were built on the diamond, and by
8 o’clock the crowd began to gather for the fun which had been
anticipated by
the originators and invited guests. Sweet
potatoes, bacon, bread, etc., were brought in
bountiful quantities
by those who stood well with the grocery stores and markets. The old
“has
been’s” present amused themselves in the pleasant pastime of “roasting
taters,”
broiling meat and pathetically humming the old song “When You and I
Were Young,
Maggie,” while the young set indulged in various games of innocent
amusement,
such as “ring around roses, dropping the handkerchief, popping the
whip, and
chasing the bashful young fellows of the diamond.”
Everyone
who attended the “Tater Roasting
Frolic” speak in glowing terms of the occasion and are in favor of
repeating
the same as long as “taters” last and the weather permits.
The ladies and gentlemen present were:
Misses Alma Johnson,
Alphia Ansley, Anna Nelson, Opal Bush, Lola Powell, Gladys Powell,
Ethel Neel,
Thelma Webb, Cary
Rice.
Madams Graham, Webb,
Nelson, Bush, Nelson, Rucker.
Messer Dan Cobb, Dallas
Cobb, Charles Ausley, Leslie Wallace, Clyde
Webb, Mills Jordan, Walker Douglas, R.D. Bush. Col.
L Bush and Maj. Rucker were among the “also rans.”
Badly Scalded
Jessie
M. Jordan, engineer, at Moore’s
Mill, two miles south of Deerland, was badly scalded last Saturday
through the
bursting of a steam pipe. Dr. Mashbourn
of Crestview, attended to the sufferings of Mr. Jordan
and from late reports, he is
not in danger of serious results, but is still undergoing excruciating
misery
from the burns.

Will Experiment
Several
parties of Crestview are arranging to test the lands in this section
with
different kinds of grasses the coming spring. The Natal grass, which
has proven
to be a wonderful success in South Florida upon the sandy lands, will
be given
a thorough test, along with other varieties of hay making grasses. The Natal
grass is said to be the most prolific hay producer and pasturage
purposes of
anything ever introduced in the state. Natal
hay is claimed to be equal in nutritious properties
for stock as
timothy or alfalfa and sells for fully as much on the markets. If it is shown that Natal grass is adapted to
the soil here it means that Okaloosa is going to become a great stock
raising
and hay making county, which are two of the most profitable industries
that can
be engaged in at the present time.
Mothers’ Teachers Club
Through
the instrumentality of Miss Cary Rice much interest has been
aroused for
the betterment of the Crestview schools. Miss
Rice has organized the mothers into a society
to be known a
“The Mothers Teachers Club,” the object of which is to induce parents
to
display more interest in the education of the youth.
The following officers have been elected:
Mrs.
E.R. Mashbourn, president;
Mrs. A.P. Jones, vice-president; Mrs. L.E. Bowers,
treasurer; Mrs.
W.E. Webb, secretary. The first Friday night of each month is
designated as
the time for regular meetings, and it is desired that mothers who are
interested
in educational matters become members. No
installation fees or dues are required to get on the
membership roll,
and much pleasure, as well as great good, can be accomplished through
the
society of mothers.

Residence Catches Fire
It
was Wednesday about 12:40 o’clock that the top of the residence of Miss
Agnes Frater was discovered on fire and the alarm given by Mrs.
Obie
Adams, and in spite of a rush by most every one of the town’s
people for
the scene of the fire in an effort to extinguish it, considerable
damage was
done to the top of the building before it could be put out. The fire was supposed to have started from
the sparks of a stove flue.

motored over to Dorcas and spent a short time with friends Sunday
afternoon.
