BARRETT. ♦•Scooping” the New Orleans evening press and the South Mississippi evening papers, The Echo last Saturday evening published exclusively the announcement of the appointment by Governor Noel of Hon. Thomas H. Barrett to succeed Judge W, H. Hardy, of the local circuit bench. The appointment is an admirable one and gives general satisfaction. Gover nor Noel has made a most happy selec tion, for he placed the trust in keeping of one whose general ability and fine sense of legal discernment, integrity and moral elements qualify him for the honor. Such appointment sheds lustre and both the Governor and the Judge elect and the people of the district as well are to be congratulated. The appointment will become active on Jan. 1, 1910, when Judge Hardy’s present term will expire. '■ JudgeT. H. Barrett ie 35 years of age, graduated from the law department of the University of Mississippi in He practiced law six years in Edwards, then moved to Gulfport, where he has been a member of the coast bar for seven years, and four years ago he formed a parnership with Attorney J. L. Taylor, which firm is still in existence. He was jparried in filOO to Miss Minnie Chocherta, of Edwards, and has five children. STICK TO YOUK HOME TOWN. We all know that advertising pays. It applies iwt only to business, but to the town or city in which you reside. It is a very bad habit to drill into the too common fashion of abusing the place in which you reside. If business gets dull, trade falls off and the future looks a little dreary, don’t drop back and say: “This town is a dead one; 1 wish I had quit it when 1 had money.” guch a declaration is certainly not go ing to do you any good. Admitted that jn a good many places there are ob structionists, men whose funerals would really mean a blessing, it is not going to help matters any to join their ranks. It is only an opening for you to do more pushing. If you nave not a local mer chant’s association—and every place, no matter how small, ought to have one get out and organize one. Remember, someone must always take the initia tive. With such an organization a whole iotcan be done. Even the kick ers will come to respect a due amount oTenterprise. Put your shoulder to the wheel. Endeavor to get all fellow mer chants to join you in boosting. Bee that eyery stranger who gets off a train js impressed with the advantages and possioilities of residing there. Many a place has been made by its citizens joining in the universal declaration that it is a good place to live, that its future is bright, that owning property is a good thing and that results are certain t Be an optimist. Don’t fight your fel low dealers, but join with them in push ing things. One or two determined men, sticking everlastingly at it, can change the sentiments of a whole com munity. It’s pleasant work, too. All your fellow-townsmen will respect you for it, and the result is certain to be beneficial. Above all things, never say anything disparagingly cf a town until you have sold your stock, packed your household goods, got them on a train, bought your tickets for your new desti nation, and then don’t —Ex, Front Pass Christian today the Coast Beacon brings the following report: “Jno. T- McDonald brought in on the Queen of the Fleet on Wednesday even ing 342 Spanish mackerel, a black fish and a nice lot of trout, all of which were caught at the tarpon hole in front of Pass Christian, and are said to be the largest catch of mackerel ever made by a fishing party in a single day on the coast.” MISSISSIPPI OYSTER COMMISSION. Regular Monthly Meeting Held at Gulfport Monday and Officers for Ensuing Year Elected. • ■ .1 The Mississippi Oyster Commission met at Gulfport in regular monthly session on Monday, and, after electing officers to serve for the ensuing year and transacting routine business, the trolley car was boarded and the party repaired to Francois’ Restaurant at Bi loxi, where a repast —not the wineless kind Biloxi has become famous for—but one of the genuine type with good things to eat and drink. The Commission was the guest of Chief Inspector R. M. Mosley, of Biloxi. The officers elected were as follows: J. D. Minor, of Ocean Springs, presi dent; R. M. Mosley, of Biloxi, chief inspector; J. L- Caillevet, inspector at Biloxi; Charles Wentxell, inspector of Biloxi Bay; D. J. Ladner, inspector at Bay St. Louis. The crew of the patrol boat was re-elected as follows: Peru sett, inspector and captain; Costa, en gineer. Hon. Richard Mendes, of Bay St. Louis, the retiring president, in spite of the fact that he had signified his inten tion on a previous occasion not to stand for a re-election, was nominated for the honor nevertheless, but he made a brief, but well-worded, address, in which he thanked the Board for its good will and co-operation during his administration. In response he was congratulated upon the splendid success which had characterized his worn; that he had inaugurated and maintained a system that frequently during the year was the occasion for complimentary comment. Hon. Walter J. Gex, of Bay St. Louis, a member of the Commission, was also present. He had occasion to address the body, and his flow of wisdom and oratory was a feature of the proceedings. The re-appointment of Mr. Ladner as inspector at Bay St. Louis gives general satisfaction, and his friends here con gratulate him upon his success, VAUDETTE AMUSEMENT COMPANY LEASES DUKATE’S THEATRE. Company Operating in Bay St. Louis Has Se cured Biloxi Theatre. From Biloxi press dispatches it is learned that the management of Du kate’s Theatre has changed hands, the Vaudette Amusement Company, which is under the direction of Fred .A bbley, having purchased from \yiikes & Suter the lease of the playhouse for a term of two years. The bookings will still be under the control of Mr. \Vilkes. The Vaudette Amusement Company, a large amount of the stock of which is held by Julius Lopez, of this city, is now con ducting the Air Dome ape* will do so until the ena of the summer season, when the vaudeville and moving picture show will be transferred to Dukate’s. The Vaudette Vaudeville Company also controls places of amusement at Scran ton, Gulfport and Bay St. Louis. The place of amusement in this city referred to is Dreamland Vaudeville and Motion Picture Theatre, which opened success fully Monday night, and gives fair promise to be a successful bidder for liberal oatronagQ, ** I ‘** ' LABOR DAY AT GULFPORT. Occasion Wa? Give* Public Celebration. Music From Bay St. Louis. A press telegram from Gulfport says I.abor Day was generally celebrated in that city. Public buildings and many private businesses closed. A parade of considerable length, gotten up by mer chants to advertise their special busi nesses, passed through the principal streets, accompanied by the Fire De partment and two bands of music. The latter pait of the day was spent st For est Park, where a public picnic was given. L. B. Capdepon and his splendid band of musicians formed an integral part of the success of the celebration, participating in the parade. Their ser ; vices had been contracted for some time ago, in order to insure the music as a certainty lest some other town would have been first in closing the contract. We note with a degree of pride that’ Bay St. Louis has figured conspicu ously of late in the furnishing of music for out-of-town celebrations. The federal census is one of those things that had better be left undone than not done correctly. It is the stock taking of the nation’s wealth and popu lation. It is a business affair just as certainly as the taking of stock by any private business house and it should be done in the same business-like way. The president’s order prohibiting the mixing of politics in the taking of the census is most welcome and if carried out as it should be will result in the most ac curate census ever obtained. If obeyed it will lift the whole census taking from the plane of polilics and place it on the domain of business. Captain J. T. Jones, president of the Gulf & Ship Island Railroad Company, will sail from Bremen on September 25. For several months past Captain Jones has been at some of the famous health resorts of Europe, and it is learned that he will return with his former strength fully restored. BAY SAINT LOUIS, MISSISSIPPI, SATURDAY. SEPTEMBER 11, 1909. HOW WE SAVED FOR A HOME. Amelia, we could buy a home, if we should try real hard. So don’t use butter any more, we’ll spread our bread with lard. No more from rented house to house, improvident, we’ll roam. Quick, put the furnace fire out; We T re saving for a home. ’Twould do us good, both you and me, To get a little thinner; For breakfast we will eat stale bread, and have cold tea for dinner. Think how luxuriously we’ll fare be neath our paid-for dome. We’ll live on fifty cents a week while saying for a home. You might take in some washing, wife, and keep some boarders, too. Then do plain sewing half the night, when other work is through. No more vacation days for us by woods or ocean’s foam; No trolley rides shall take our dimes: We’re saving for a home, Amelia, you did nobly, dear, you led a frugal life, And now you lie beneath a slab marked “Sacred to my Wife”; And while your weary body rests be neath the churchyard loam My second wife and 1 reside within the saved-for home. My second wife and I reside within the saved-for home. —Elsie Duncan Yale, in Harper’s. SOME THOUGHTS ON BUGS. The following letter was recently re ceived by the proprietor of a hotel in a small town in Indiana: Dear Sir:—l feel terribly cut up over what has just happened, and I wish to make a full confession. I killed about a dozen of your best bed bugs. Why I did jt I don’t know—i am trying to calm myself enough fo reason it out. But it's done and a terrible deed it was. It surely has taken you a long time and re quired a vast amount of patience and study to bring them to th.sir present high state of development. You should pe lightfully called the Bed Bug Bur bank, for it’s marvelous what you have done for the bed bugs. They are the finest I have ever seen—and so docile. The only reason I can give you fqr slaughtering so many of them is because they disturbed my rest, I was awfully tired when I went to bed at 11:30, and it took them tWQ hours to awaken me. When they did awaken me, I felt rather cross, for I needed more rest and sleep. However, I got up and, after carefully searching among my clothing and in my grip for bugs, dressed and am spending the rest of the night in a chair in the office. I sincerely hope I shall not carrv any of your high-grade bun-s nw,ay with me. I know my wife would like a start of them, for sh£ has (just now stopped to look for I felt one—was mistaken) never raised any, but it wouldn’t be fairtake them irom’you. 1 wouldn't carry any of them away for anything. I can see now wh.y you collect for beds in advance, and that'is to be sure to got something for the fine bug* the boys are tikely to kill. I killed ten or twelve. 1 do not know the market price of such carefully cultivated bugs as these- qqd do not know if the 50 oents | paid you is enough o,r not but '<Telt a bug or. my leg, I thought) if it is not, and you will send me a bill for them, I’ll send check. If I were you and in the bed bug business you are, and was as careful of them as you seera to be, and had a side line U 2 you nave of sleeping travel ers, I would paint “No Hunting Al lowed” in big red letters on the head board of each bed in the house. I be lieve the boys would respect this warn ing, and even give up of their life | blood to protect and foster yoy,r fine bugs. Judging from, the s,ize'arid per sonal ranee’of (he ten or twelve I killed’,’l should say you know more about bugs than anybody, but I wou.d offer a suggestion (felt one on my arm), and that is that each qno be nanied and that his name be printed on his back, i There is plenty room for this, and in this way you can tell what cues are killed when some qf yogr guests “run amuck” a i did. Some are no doubt much more valuable than others, and if l John Doe occupies room 20 we’ll say, and some of your finest bugs are in this room (I had 20), and you go into the room next morning, and “Priscilla”, or “Aquilla”, or “Patience”, or any of them is missing, you can charge Doe up with them at their raal value and thus make him show what became of thoin. dee? 1 believe this would’ stop the slaughter, aqd be better in many ways, jlf those'l killed had had names where I could have seen them, I certainly should not have killed them. You would huvc had your (Just imagined \ sow one on my hat brim', hugs, and I would not have had this terrible (I felt one on my ‘other leg) torture of conscience. As ray great desire is to pass the re mainder of my days in peace of mind, with a clear conscience, I shall neyer return to your hotel, for the temptation to deeds of violence is too strong. So good-by forever, E. STARBUCK. Goshen, Ind. The Biloxi Herald says that Wm. Johnson, the popular conductor on the L. & N. coast train, has again resumed his duties, after spending a pleasant va cation with his wife in the eastern cities duting the heated terra. Mr. Johnson for about thirty-five years has been a conductor in the employ of the L. & N. service and is by many years the oldest conductor on the road. Always polite, obliging and accommodating to the peo- ; pie he meets every day in his position as conductor, he numbers his friends by thousands, and there is probably no conductor in the United States who has attained a higher degree of popularity, and deservedly so, than Mr. Johnson. A nervous looking man went into a store the other day and sat for half an hour, when the clerk asked him if there was anything he could do for him. He said he didn’t want anything. The clerk went away and the stranger sat an hour or so longer, when the proprietor went to him and asked if he didn’t want some thing. “No,” said the nervous young man, “I just want to sit around. My physician recommended quiet to me and says above all things avoid a crowd. Noticing that you did not advertise in your home paper, 1 thought this would he as quiet a place as could find, so I just dropped in a few hours.”—Hx. ROMANCE MORE IN THEIR LINE, Factory Workers' Criticism of Louisa M. Alcott’s Great Story. In a conversation about books which the author of “The Long Day” had with two of her workmates at a box factory, she spoke enthusiastically of “Little Women,” and told them how she had read it four times, and that she meant to read it again some day. “Little Women" was unknown to ’them, but their curiosity was roused over the unheard-of thing of any body ever wanting to read a book more than once, and they pressed her to repeat the story for them. This she did with great accu racy of statement, and with genuine pleasure to herself at being given an opportunity to introduce anybody to Meg and Jo and all the rest of that delightful March family. V'hen she finished, Phoebe stopped work and Mrs. Smith looked up from her ih,bel-past*ng, saying; “Why, that’* ao story at all.” “Why, no,” echoed Phoebe, “that’s no story—that’s Just everyday hap penings. I don’t see what’a the use putting things like that in books. I’ll bet any money that lady what wrote it k'iew all them boys and girls. They just sound like real, live people; and when you was telling about them I could see them as plain as plain could be —couldn’ you, Gwendolyn?” “Yep,” yawned Gwendolyn, undls gulsedly bored. “But I suppose farmer folks likes them kind of stories,” Phoebe gener ously suggested. "They ain’t used to the same styles of anything that us city folks are.” —Youth’s Companion. TOMMY A3 GOOD AS A. CHART - ■ 1 ■ —,_• J Nurse Had Na Trouble Remembering Time for His Medicine. A Boston physician tells a story of a youngster of his own that an over strenuous vaoaMon had put on the sick l|st. The father had an appropriate prescription filled, and left the beetle with the child’s mother, its she, haw irvor, is very forgetful, ho gave her a chart, and suggested that she set down the hours when the medicine should be given, chocking off each dose as taken. Upon returning from his even ing calls, however, he found the chart blank. “Good gpacious, Mary,” ha exclaimed; ■■surely you haven’t tailed to givs Tom bis medicine?” “Oh, no, I did not miss a single ttme." his wife assured him, “How in the world did you remem ber It without the chart?” he asked. She smile “That easy. I just told Tom this morning at what hours ho was to have it, and half r. i hour before each time he would begin hallooing that he wouldn’t take it.” HAVE FIRM BELIEF IN FAIRIES. Curious Superstitions That Are Still Prevalent in Ireiand. In Ireland there have been for many, many ages curious superstitious re garding fairies. In the old time these imagined little elfins were thought to be half banian and half spirit nature, aad had strange powers over mankind. The good folk of Erin used to propiti ate the fairies in many ways, a few of them being as follows: If a. child spilled milk on the floor me mother would say: “That’s for the fairies,” thinking that some fairy had caused the accident. Thus the careless child went unreprimanded. If one were throwing slops out oft 1 j window or door she cry out to the fairies: “Take care < f the water!" Otherwise some fairy passing might get drenched, and retaliate in some unpleasant man ner. If a horseshoe was nailed over the door it would prevent the fairies from entering mischief to the in mates. If a small piece of iron were sewed Into an infant’s garment tho fairies would never molest it. \>y caus ing it to suffer colic K a large vessel filled with pure drinking water wor* placed In the kitchen at night the fairies on entering would not touch the food there, but content themselves with drinking tho water.
