THE SEA COAST ECHO. W. 1?. WAV, CIXAS. il. MoKKAU MAY & MCREAU, Proprietors. CHAS. G. MOREAU, Editor & Publilh^. liAY ST. l.c.ris, MISS., DEC. 3, 1892. EDI rOKIAL. The comet coineth not. Mr. Cleveland has beaten Nancy Hanks’ record, There is a scramble for nearly every post office in the State. New Orleans is entertaining the Nicaragua Canal Convention this weelj,’ Montana has elected a lady Attor ney-General in the person of Miss Ella knowlc?. Many, many visitors at the Chica go Fair will go hunting—hunting for Miss ssippi’s exhibit. I Harrison county will build a fire proof addition to its court house in which to keep the records. The Supreme court of Mississippi has decided that only registered voters who have paid their taxes are eligible for jury duty. The New Orleans papers are very severe on Mayor Fitzpatrick and con tinue to denounce him as incompe tent and his resignation is demand ed. It would be interesting to hear a thing or two relative to the Wave land post office candidates. Wonder if they are as numerous as in this city? . Mr. Cleveland, being tired of shooting “swallows” over the elec tion news has taken his departure for the wilds of Broadwater Island where he will shoot ducks. To hundreds of our {subscribers throughout the county, who will re ceived their subssriplion bills next week, we request the remittance be made as early as convenient. ———■————i A Presbyterian church in Lancas ter, Pa., gives a gold medal to each ' person who does not miss a service during the year, Last year the sex ton received the medal, and had a walk over that. The Nicaragua canal, when com pleted, and it will be, will bring the Pacific ocean within six hundred miles of the mouth of the Mississip-” pi river, and open the trade of tne Orient to the great valley of the father of waters. It is gratifying to note the special interest the town authorities of our sister town, Wave'and, are taking in the improvements of its streets and roads. In a short while Waveland will again equal Pay St. Louis in boasting of first-class streets. Someone has made the calculation that if Weaver, the People’s candi date for president, made the same .gain in the future that he made in the late election, that in the course of 350 years he would become presi dent. Weaver best hurry or he’ll certainly be left. There are so many applicants for the Edwards, Miss., post office that the citizcus have determined on a primary election to determine the matter. Would not this be a good way for Bay St. Louis and in other places, not merely to relieve the ob ligation of our Senators and Repre sentatives, but to come at the true wishes of the people. A dispatch from Dallas, Tex., re ports a successful experiment of a cotton harvester made last week on a plantation, two miles of that city. The committee reported as to the re sult of an hour’s work that it had picked 350 lbs., and the second time 18 per cent of the lint, leaving 9 per cent on the plant and dropping 6 per on the ground. The work was clean er than hand picking. The new president of the National Farmers’ Alliance and Industrial Union, Mr. Loucks, is a Canadian by birth and resides at Huron, S. Dako ta. He is a practical, thrifty farm er, but finds the much-required time to edi* a newspaper, being the editor of the Dakota Ruralist, published at Huron. IDs present term of the presidency of the noble and worthy organization expires February, 1894. SUNDAY OPENING. The press and public generally ap prove the Chicago Mayor’s message to the Chicago city council urging the opening of the World’s Fair on Sunday. Those people to be most benefilted by the holding of the ex position are persons who are unable to enjoy the luxury of travel, and those who literally earn their bread by the sweat of their brow, and the Sunday closing would deprive them of their opportunity to see the Fair. Chicago will extend her hospi tality to thousands of foreigners, and on this account it would be advisable to open the Fair on Sundays. The great majority of people are in favor of the Fair on Sunday, and the Coun cil will prepare an official address to Congress on the subject. PENSION FRAUD. % •The pension list of the United States amounts to more than the en tire cost of the standing army of En gland, and almost as much as Ger many pays for her army of six hun dred andltifty thousand men. Is it not time to call a halt? One of the first duties of the in coming administration should be to weed out from list all those who are now drawing pensions obtained by fraud and perjury and those who may at one time have been the pro per subjects for a pension but whose disabilities have ceased. It is known by personal knowledge of scores of stout and able-bodied men who may at one time have suffered from rheu matism, chronic diarrhea, piles, etc., who have completely recovered but still hang on tojthe government teat. Mississippi farmers are jubilant over the raise in cotton. The fleecy staple is now commanding very good market and means better times for the people in general. The papers of the country insist that the Constitution provides that a United States Senator must wear sus pendered trousers and argue an ineli gility on Mrs. Lease’s part because of this requirement. Fifty years ago there were in Bal timore only five Catholic churches. Now there are between thirty and forty. At that time there were only two struggling schools, now there arc thirty-three parochial schools. At Florence, Ala., G. W. Swartz has patented an electric car and mo tor with which a .speed of 120 miles per hour can be safely attained. It will be on exhibition at the World’s Fair. Such speedy locomotion should be adopted between New Orleans and the Gulf coast towns. Gov. Stone has offered a reward of SSOO for the apprehension and de livery to the warden of the State prison, of the notorious Kemper coun ty outlaw, Tom Tolbert. There is also a reward of $250 for the capture and delivery of his brother, Will, to the sheriff of Kemper county. Later—The outlaws were captured on Wednesday. An exchange says if the attorneys to be appointed by Cleveland for the northern and southern Federal Dis tricts of JMississippi are not good men it will not be because of a lack of material to select,from. Four thou sand lawyers, more or less, are ap plicants for the places. The authorities are still watching and vigilant in regard to keeping cholera out of the United States. Secretary Foster says that in view of the fact that sanitary experts declare cholera will undoubtedly re-appear in the spring, itjwill be dangerous to neglect precautions, and the authori ties will not do so. Several letters of inquiries relative to Bay St. Louis and its advantages to strangers who wish to make it their home, have been received at this office, and the prospects of new resident families in our lovely coun try of the sea coast appears very en couraging. As will be seen in our advertising columns, a party from Jefferson parish, La., wants to buy a home here, and there will soon be other purchasers for Bay St, Louis property to follow The Echo will never let an opportunity to attract strangers go by. We are now in cor respondence with a gentleman from Milan. Tenn., who wants to locate here, but before so doing he desires statistical and other information re lative to the place. EDITORIAL AND GENERAL. Northern families are locating at Brandon, Miss., and are fast develop ing that section of the country. Judge Niles, of the Federal court, has decided that the Georgia Pacific road must pay the $75,000 back to the State. The Sea Coast ifar has endorsed Hon. E. J. Bowers, of this city, for United States District Attorney for South Mississippi. The different oil mills, represented in South-west Mississippi, have agreed on terms and will henceforth pay SB.OO per ton for cotton seed. Work on the Pass Christian Mexi can Gulf hotel’s improvements is being pushed forward. There is a rumor that the Pass will soon have another big hotel. A pot containing SIO,OOO in gold and jewelry was dug up at Nutt Hill, near Utica, by unknown parties, supposed to have been two Union soldiers who buried it there in 1863. The President is supposed to be at work on his last message, and as a matter of course he will keep his promise to recommend the passage of a force bill or something of a si milar character. The C.s are winners this year. Cleveland, Chicago, California, Con necticut, Corbett, Choyinski and Christopher Columbus with Christ mas yet to send in hei returns, which are sure to be all right.— Clarion.'] How about the (C) comet? Mayersville,Miss., must be a dead town, according to the following from the Mayersville Spectator: Quite a novel thing took place in our village this week. A real transfer of town property. Mr. Marshall Smith buying the property of Mr. John Nil ssononToy street. The deed was recorded Tuesday and the considera tion was shown to be $350 cash- Who says there is no sale for Mayersville property ? Editor Almon, of the Durant Dem ocrat, certainly “scooped” his tardy brethren of the Press in pictorial journalism. In his election issue he printed a picture of himself labeled “President - elect Cleveland,” and used the horrible “mug” of his fore man for “Vice-President-elect Ste venson.” Mesdames Cleveland and Stevenson, we fear, will call our en thusiastic brother to account. —Sena- tobia Democrat. r The vagrant comet—it was not Biela’s—Las turned its stump of a tail and dashed off into space at rate of 15,000 miles per second, it did not even give the promised dis play of meteoric sparks, That is to say, except a private exhibition to the Pic.'s correspondent at Bay St. Louis.] —N. O. Item.'] The doubt ful Item will please note that the dis play was public to all Bay St. Louis ians, and not simply a “news fake.” Sam Jones is preaching at Galves ton, and says it is one of the tough est towns on the continent; that its people arc as slow in religion as in business, and that little less than an earthquake would cause them to get “a move on them-” Still, he hopes, by much effort to save a few Galves ton sinners, but be has little hope for the “long eared dogs who come into the tabernacle and smoke during the service.” The enterprising Waveland firm, Messrs. Louis Bourgeois & Bro., are doing a nice amount of business which : s on the constant increase. They are going to have their store en larged and will make business livelier. Their quality of goods are the choicest and their prices very low, for instance: 41 lbs of best rice for SI.OO, best coffee at 20cts per lb., good flour fat $3.90 per barrel, choice flour $4.75 per barrel and all other goods proportionately low. A Southern paper gives the expe rience of a farmer in this State, Last year he raised on 35 acres 800 bush els of corn, 100 bushels Irish pota toes, 125 bushels sweet potatoes, 220 gallons molasses, S3OO worth of strawberries, beans, peas, radishes and 1,030 crates tomatoes which netted him $975. Besides he fatted nine hoggs. saved 10 bushels speck led peas, 7 tons of fine hay and kept cows sufficient to furbish milk and butter for his family and sold four to liye pounds of fine butter per week. All this from_3s acres of pine land. Early Journalism. A subscriber of the Winston Sig nal writes to that paper of early Mississippi newspapers as follows: Andrew Marshall, Jr., who once published a paper in Louisville, Miss., entitled Times Tablet , inform ed me that the first printing in Mis sissippi was done at the United States lort on Fort Hill, about one mile north of the then limits of Vicks burg. The press was owned, he said, by Col. Andrew Marshall, Sr., an officer in the United States Army. The press was afterwards moved to Natchez, where he said his father published the first newspaper ever published in Mississippi, entitled Times Tablet. Others say that the first paper that was published in Mississippi was at Natchez in 1775, entitled Mississippi; Gazette. Andrew Marshall 4 Jr-, brought the old Ma hogany Ramage press to Louisville where he published the Times Tablet above mentioned. He eventually sold out the old press and left Louisville Who Can Givelthe Information! Editor Echo : Please inform me when aud what was the name of the name of the first newspaper publish ed in Bay St. Louis. Subscriber. The information desired could not be secured up to this writing. Can any of our readers give it? Biloxi is shipping raw oysters to all points North. Onr Ocean Springs contemporary, the Leader, fails to “X” with us.

I had a very bad spell of paralysis of the throat some time ago. My throat seemed closed and I could not swallow. The doctors said it was caused by heart failure, and gave medicine, which I took according to directions, but It did not seem to do mo any good. My wife urged to try Hood’s Sarsaparilla, telling me ol Sir. Joseph C. Smith, who had been At Death’s Door but was entirely cured by Hood’s Sarsaparilla. After talking with Mr. Smith, I concluded to toy Hood’s Sarsaparilla. When I had taken two bottles I felt very much better. I have continued taking it, and am now feeling excel lent 1 thank God, and Hood’s Sarsaparilla and my wife for my restoration to perfeiet health.” Hakvby llekd, Laceyvllle, O.
