These were all names of th- city's most solid men, too, whose Ideas and plans are to be valuable Indeed in the discussion which is to take place at Thursday's event on the establishment of Pensacola as a first-class summer resort. There have been very few indeed who have been approached on the sub ject who have aot exhibited sufficient public spirit to meet the proposition half way. The list, in fact, is to be closed by tomorrow night, in order that a com plete report may appear in Sunday morning's Journal.
