Allen Bordelon of Markesville, La., came out from New Orelans Thursday evening on a visit to his relatives, Mr. L. N. C. Spotorno and family. Mr. Wm. M. Garic, whose beautiful summer home, with its spacious and palm bedecked lawn, is an object of admiration to all passers-by, came out from New Orleans for the day Sunday, in the interest of his prop erty. Hon. A. E. Lee, the wide awake and progressive editor of the Ocean Springs Weekly News, accompanied by Ifis estimable wife and their fam ily, were guests Sunday of their rel atives, Mr. and M<s. J. R. Case of this city. Mrs. George Muller and intelligent and well-behaved children Charles and Adrienne, are spending a few days with their relatives in Carroll avenue. Mrs. iuuller is here to con sult with Contractor Gardebled re garding contemplated improvements to her Bay St. Louis property. The gentleman who advertised in The Echo the loss of a pocket-book containing valuable papers, recover ed his property through the medium of this paper. Miss Mary Adams was the finder and was paid the reward of $5.00. Mr. Davis, the owner of the pocketbook, says The Echo is a first-class advertising medium, and that words cannot express his satis faction. Messrs. Charles A. Garic and Ar thur Garic, their sister. Miss Odette, and friend. Miss Pauline Sarpy, were Sunday visitors to the Bay, and were guests at the home of- r. G. Bayhi. The party' ,was thoroughly charmed with their visit and took their depar ture for home with much reluctance. There only remains a few days in which, taxpayers can settle their taxes without paying 10 percent dam age and losing their vote for a peri od of two years. The law states all persons must have paid their taxes on or before the Ist day of Febru ary of each year that they might re tain a voting franchise. Mr. Henry Zambelli, well-known Bay St. Louis summer resident, came out from New Orleans last night to spend a few days with friends, and incidentally to go fishing, but the cold weather which he brought over knocked out his piscatorial trips out on the Bay. Better come back in the near future, friend Zambelli, and try again. Mississippi Lodge, No. 821 .Knights if Pytmas, of Scranton, gave a re ception Wednesday night to the Py hians of that city and their fami ies.

The ame was fair and square, and both ides were satisfied, for the present "t least, for we understand another leet will be arranged for in the near uture. Another chapter was added this week to the now famous Chinese smuggling case at Gulfport, which the Government has been working up on and weaving a net the past two or three weeks. Deputy Collector of Customs Rltnour was authorized to seize the sloop “Little Deer,” of Bay St. Louis, and the property of Fred Vassain, a*so cn tifls city. The sloop. It is charged carried China men from Cat Island to the main shore, and the little vessel is now anchored near the schooner. “Axle,” off Carroll avenue, with Ben Lane Posey in charge. While Fred. Vas salli, is the owner of the sloop, he is not charged by the Federal au thorities as being implicated in the smuggling case, nor does the seiz ure ‘his vessel necessarily connect him in the alleged smuggling of the Chinamen form Mexico to Gulfport.

Mr. Clarence Feahney, district su perintendent for the Cumberland Telephone and Telegraph Cos., was an official visitor to Bay St. Louis dur ing the week. Mr. Feahney and Mr. Purington, resident manager, made a tour over the town and inspected the Company’s property, tiding ev ery' detail as existing in the most satisfactory manner. It will not be amiss here to say Mr. Purington has been one of the best and most responsible manager’s the Cumber land Company has had here—a fact which it is known the Company is fully cognizant. Mr. William Ames, who is engag ed in construction work near New Orleans, spent Sunday with his daughters. Miss Geraldine and Lil lian, and relatives, Mr. and Mrs. A. Gaspard. While here, Mr. Amei gave the contract to G. G. Garde bled for the removal of his dwelling from the sidewalk line to some 20 feet. Mr. Bordage, residing In the adjoining dwelling, will also move his residence the same distance,thus giving uniformity to the location of all buildings on the same block. The improvement will be a decided one. Mr. Dan Bordages has fully re r.- ered from his recent illness of yel low jaundice and is up and out again. But unfortunately, Mrs. Bor dages fell sick upon his recovery and has taken the bed. In addition to local medical assistance, Dr. Lewis, the well-known specialist, was sent for on Thursday afternoon and is giving the patient the benefit of his special services. Our young friend.

Gillum To Enlarge and Im prove His General Merchandise Store, Located in the Echo Bldg. Mr. H. DeS. Gillum, the well-known grocer and dealer in general mer chandise, in the advertising columns of this week’s Echo announces a special sale of goods and has cut prices lower than ever.

The man who hurls trade in his j own town most, is the man who per sistently gives his patronage to ; other towns. No right thinking man will continue to give his trade to the catalogue houses when once he analyzes the situation. Why not patronize your home mer chant? Who helps build up your town, the foreign or the home mer hant? Everj' time your home mer chant adds on to his o Id store or I builds anew one, or increases his i stock, he increases the value of your I own town property or your neigh j boring farm. He helps build your roads, your churches, your schools. 1 Does your New York or Chicago I catalogue house do this? Did a cat alogue house ever help the sick or j help bury the pauper dead of your : community? How much trade did I you give the catalog house this year j What per cent of this amount did they return to you for the benefit of your town or neighborhood? What did they do to increase the value of your town? On the other hand, how much have done to hurt your town? Every dollar.s worth of trade they take away from your home merchants hunts your own town . You send the catalogue house your money with your order, you wait for your goods from three weeks to three months; all this time the catalog man has the use of your money—see. How often do you pay your bills with your home merchant. Do you pay them at the end of three weeks? Do you really pay him at the end of three months? Suppose you try your home merchant this way a while. Go to him and say, “I want to look at a pair of shoes' i do not need them for a month or two yet, but if I can find what 1 want, I want you to put them aside for me till I call for them, but I want yon to sell them to me at as close a figure as yon can, for I don.t want to ‘send off for them.,, Dou.t you think that merchant would give you some cut prices on such a proposition. And if he didn,t have just what you wanted in stock , don.t you think he would like to get it for you for ‘cash in advance?' Encourage your home merchant by giving him your cash trade as well as your long time credit trade, and see if he will send it away to in vest it and help build up some other CLEARANCE .SALE. lam going to enlarge my store rapacity.

Stand by your home merchant as he stands by you, and see if your home stores don’t take on larger and better siocks.and give you closer and better prices on what they have.

SILVER SERVICE CAUSING TROU-* BLE UNEXPECTEDLY. The Commission Seems to Be Hope lessiy Divided as to What Firm Shall Make It. - 1 A great deal of iiniterest has been manifested in the letting of the con tract to furnish the silver service for the battleship Mississippi, and the! deadlock existing on the commission is the talk of the town, says the Jackson Clarion-Ledger. The average knows little of battleships, and still less of silver ser vice, but/they are all Mississippians, and all would like to see a Missis sippian given the contract for the ser vice—all things being equal . The commission that was named by the Legislature and empowered with authority to raise the funds necessary to buy the silver service, and to pur chase same, finds itself hoplessly di vided on the proposition submitted by two firms. One of these firms is a Philadelphia, Pa., concern the other is a JacKson, Miss., firm. Two mem bers of the commission favor one and two the other. They are no doubt honest in tneir convictions as to which is the best and most appro priate. The public will give them credit for that. The cost of the serv ice proposed by one firm is just the same as the cost of the other, so that there can be no difference of opinion on that score. It then re mains for one or the other patterns to be more attractive than the other —that is to certain of the members of the commission. But the other bidder proposes to change any fea ture that is not liked, ami to make any picture on the several articles that may be wanted. The average Mississippian would award this contract to a home man —<to a firm that lives in the State, pa> J ,s taxes in the State and helps to support the government—regard-; less of cost, or the difference in cost, but fortunately in this instance the cost is the same. THOUGHT IT WAS A TOWN. The fireproof curtain at a local theater presents a picture of some old ruins with the; word, ‘Abestos,” placed on the lower part of the pic ture, but that wasn’t sufficient ex cuse for the Schreveport lady who recently returned from a perform ance there and got out her history of Greece to read up on “The Ruins of Abestos.” —Shreveport Times.
