Mrs. Fournier, formerly Miss Louise Diamond of this ejty, but now of New Orleans, came out for the Peacock- Guerra weddiug, and was the beautiful and charming guest of Mrs. H. F. Mat tov and family. Scranton Democrat-Star: Col. Chas. Marshall, superindont of the Louisville and Nashville railroad, spent a couple of hours here Wednesday in consulta tion with Manager G. B. Chapman of the Pascagoula Northern. Prof. C. E. Ives, city superintendent of schools, received a brief message from his former home at Amite City, La., a few days since. The laconic message was something on this style: “It’s a 9-pound boy. Mother and child doing well.” Congratulations are in order. Mr. Paul Roy, at the Bay Pictorium, is featuring with great success this week “I Love My Husband, But —Oh, You Henry,” “Love Thy Neighbor as Thy self, But Leave His Wife Alone,” Come Bo My Sunshine, Dearie,” and other popular successes from the Hakenjos music house in New Orleans. “OH? YOU HENRY!” The Dreamland Theatre is now under the local management of Jus. R.Wilson, an experienced showman, who promises that tne best of vaudeville and moving pictures will be shown at that house. The new management will exert every effort to provide for the comfort of the patrons as well as show them the best acts touring the bojxth. Our neighboring town across the bay, Pass Christian is putting on metropoli tan airs these days, with electric lights, and arc lights at that. And has gone Bay bu Louis one better, with the ad vantage of day current. The electric cars will be running within a compara tive short time ar\d already real estate values are commanding good, healthy prices. Jos. McGinn, the clever and popular young stenographer for Attorney F. J. Gex, intends leaving on the Ist of Octo ber for Napoleonviile, La., where he will assume the duties of a clerical po sition with a firm largely interested in sugar. He has the best wishes of the community for every success possible. Lucius Hoffmann left on Wednesday morning for New Orleans to take a po sition in the offices of the Southern Pa cific R. R. Cos., at that city. He recently graduated with honors from St. Stanis laus College and already is putting his splendid store of knowledge to practical use, with a goodly salary attached, as we understand. His friends wish him a rapid climb up the ladder of success. Dr. S. C. Caldwell, D. D., of vHazel hurst, Miss., is spending a few days here the guest of his friend, Prof. T. L. Tra wiek, at the family villa on the beach front. Dr. Caldwell addressed the chil dren of the public school on Wednesday morning in a brief but most appropriate talk on school topics, which was well received by teachers and pupils alike. He was introduced by Prof. Trawick, upon invitation of Prof. Ives. A. Scafide, the well-known merchant located near the depot was cut on the left shoulder last Sunday night in front of his place of business and charges Theodore Lewis, colored, as the guilty party. It appears Lewis, who was with Jim Clark, colored, had made their pres ence objectionable and were ejected from the building, occupied its a soda water saloon or cafe. Mr. Scafide says Lewis became so insulting that he was forced as a precautionary measure of protec tion from further insult and possible vio lence that he attempted to subdue the offender with a club, when Lewis drew forth a knife, with the results aforesaid.. Dr. Manar was summoned by telephone and promptly responded to the call, and, dressing the wound, he pronounced it of a slight nature and free from serious results. Lewis made good his escape, but Clark w r as apprehended by City! Marshal Robt. W. Murtagh, who placed ■ him in the City Bastile. He was given a hearing before Mayor Gardebled on Monday afternoon on the charge of be ing drunk mid disturbing the peace. He was fined $5. and costs, which he paid. PRETTY SUE. Of all girls I’d like to woo. Is a little angel called "Pretty Sue”— Her winsome face, her cannln^mile. Would make you love her all the while. Her merry laugh, her naughty eye, Charm every one, as she passes by. As for beaux, she has quite a few; For they all are “daffy” 'bout pretty Sue. There’s Charlie, Tom and Dick and Harry; But all of them she cannot marry. She’ll have only one, and love him, too, Will my little charmer, Pretty Sue. Then some bright and sunny day Some * ‘One” will carry her away. And they’ll all be sorry, it is true; For the boys wttt miss my Pretty Sue. So here’s to the lass wilh winning ways; May the future hold for her sweeter days! And when the sun has kissed the dew. Then will 1 long for Pretty Sue. PAUL ROY. PEACOCK-GUERRA. A wedding of unusual interest was celebrated on Wednesday afternoon, when Mis Lorena Elise Guerra, of Bay St. Louis, and Mr. Cassius Lee Peacock, of Atlanta, Ga., were joined in holy wedlock, Rev. Father J.M. Prendergast, pastor of the church of Our Lady of the Gulf, officiating. The ceremony was performed under a wide and high arch of natural roses, at the residence of the bride’s mother, Mrs. Carrie Mattox. The bride was given awv.y by her step-father, Mr. H. F. Mat tux, into the future keeping of the hand some young groom, whose sterling qua lities matte nun well worthy of the ca pital prize he has won in the matrimo nial lottery. The bride looked radiant in her bridal robes, which she carried with becoming grace and dignity. Her dress was of white embroidered mull, trimmed with real lace. This was covered with a long veil of tulle illusion, which was caught in her hair with a spray of orange blos soms and iillies of the valley. Her bou quet.was of Brides roses and carnations. Miss Leah Guerra, sister of the bride, as maid of honor, was becomingly dress ed in white lingerie and lace, bhe car ried a bouquet of pink roses and maiden hair ferns. Mr. Charles Peacock, brother of the groom, served in the happy capacity of “best man.” Little Thais Gardcbled was ring bear er, while the ribbon bearers were Lois Gardcbled and Gertie Guerra, charming and dainty little misses who carried their honors becomingly. After the ceremony a reception was held at the residence of the bride’s pa rents, after which the bridal couple left for their future home in Atlanta, Ga., where they will be “at home” to their friends on and after October Ist, at No. 2 5 2 South Boulevard. Many handsome and beautiful pres ents were received and these amply tes tified to the high esteem in which both the bride and groom are held. The Echo joins the legion of friends of the happy young couple in congratu lations and well-wishing. Those present at the reception were the folllowing-named: Mesdames H. F. Maitox, T. J. Conway, C. G. Moreau, G. G. Gurdebled, E. H. Hoffmann, Frank Fournier, Celine Gardcbled, R. W. Webb, Geo. Weinberg, Jus. Dempf, Henry Knost; Mis ses Katie Jaconet, Lead Guerra, A. Hoffmann, K. Hoffmann. A. Adis. L. Diamond, M. Garde bied, B. Morere, E. Edwards, M. Edwards, Mo ni ;a Dempf, Rosalie Knost; Mayor G. G. Garde bled, Hun. U. W. Webb. Messrs. T. J. Conway, E. ii Hoffmann, Eddie Edwards, George Ed wards, Ray Cary, George Hoffmann, H. F. Mat tox, Charles Kuosi, C. G. Moreau; Master G. Gurdebled, J.loyd Guerra, Charles Gardcbled; little Misses Louise Moreau, Lois Gardeblea, ima Gardcbled, Gertie Guerra, Thais Gar deblcd. Considerable space oi this week’s Echo is occupied with the proceedings of the regular and a number of special meetings ox the Board of Mayor and Al dermen. This represents a lot of work on the part of the mayor and his effi cient board of aldermen and secretary, who labor unceasingly and unflinchingly without compensation outside of the mere pittance allowed by the charter. The board as a whole the past week or two has given much time and attention to the queStion of disposing of the for mer colored school building and provid ing for anew site and building, a task, considering the many difficulties and perplexities which have arizen, that has oecome one of no less than herculean proportions. The funds are low and the oGard has shown the disposition which indicates that it is going to give the col ored people the best and most modern that can be had. And when we consider the amount of work and time these gen tlemen have been called upon to give at tao expense and sacrifice of time from their own personal affairs, it would seem they had already won the plaudits and appreciation of tne public and the words oi approbation of “Well done, faithful servants!” but nay, their labors have just begun and they will continue for some time yet in the pursuit of a cause so auspiciously inaugurated. A most enjoyeble “impromptu” social was given at the hgjne of Mr. and Mrs. Munchow on Sunday evening last in honor of Mr. Paul Roy, the vocalist ex traordinary who is appearing at the Pic torium theatre for an unlimited engage ment. After a series of vocal selections by Mr. Roy, a delightful luncheon was served, and recitations, etc., -were en joyed until a late hour. Those present: Mr. and Mrs. Munchow, Mrs. Bernard, Misses “Orlean Ladner, Genevieve and Frances Bernard, Alice Higgins and Many Barry, of New Orleans; Messrs. Andrew J. Spotorno, Milo Ferguson and Paul Roy. it is not generally known yet it is a positive fact the depot building and platform premises of tfte Louisville and Nashville Railroad Compady, in this city, will shortly be illuminated with electricity, and the kerosene lamps, foul-smelling and demoralizers of pub lic health and eye-sight, will be rele gated to the things that were. Colonel Marshall has ordered the material nec essary and the work of “wiring” will start as soon as practicable. This is a progressive move and it is to the credit of those concerned who prompted the suggestion and fostered the project. John Dixon and Jos. Moore, colored, strangers, were arrested during the early part of the week at the coal chutes from freight train No. 72, and lodged in jail on the charge of vagrancy. Appearing in Magistrate’s Court the following morning, both were sentenced to ten days labor on the city streets. It was thought Jos. Moore was the darkey who “hold up” Fred. Ansiey and relieved him of $1.30 in cash last Friday night but Mr. Ansiey could not positively identify him as the party, and the charge was dropped. C. J. Schill, the plumber, gasfitter and electrician, seijds Tha Echo with his compliments a copy of his 1010 calendar, a most attractive and handsome ‘get up.’ It represents in glowing colors, red and gold predominating, a fairy-like, flaxen haired little girl with eyes of azure depths, telephoning. Over her head is the inscription, “Hello! give me phone 190,” etc. Mr. Schiii is not oly up-to date, but several months ahead of Father Time.

THE EVENT ON MONDAY LAST WAS ONE OF UNUSUAL INTEREST. All Record* of Previous Attendance Broken — Splendid Addre** by County Superintendent John A. Craft -Other Exerci*e*- Prof. C. E. Ives, the New City Superintendent. The Bay St, Louis public schools, high school and grammar grades, opened last Monday morning under most flat tering auspices. Prof. C. E. Ives, prominent and sue- ; cessful educator for the last thirty years, j of Louisiana, assumed his new position as city superintendent and principal, and was master of ceremonies. He had arranged an appropriate pro gramme and every feature, save one, was carried out and that with a spirit of sincerity and enthusiasm that made it plainly apparent that all forces and ele ments contributing to a successful year’s work were present. The feature on the programme not carried out was caused by the unavoid able absence of His Honor, Mayor Gar debled, who was called away to another part of the city at the lime on important business of an immediate nature. He was down for an address and was to have dwelt upon the history of the public schools in Bay St. Louis, past and pres ent. He was to have told the auditors how, comparatively speaking, only a few years since the city’s public school were hardly known, with facilities in the extreme, and how today the system had expanded and flourished and employed a corps of teachers that were not only competent but masters in tjaeir art, and that the school of today had reached such standing as to be recognized and affiliated with Tulane University, of Louisiana, and tue University of Mis sissippi at Oxford. Hon. John Craft, superintendent of education for tue county, delivered one of his able and characteristic addresses wherein he dwelt with effective stiess upon the importance of the public school to the community, State and County, and education as a factui of potentiality for ail that was good and progressive, mat this generation upon waose shoul ders the responsibilities of the nation, would in time pass away and the school children of today would be the genera ation of tomorrow when they would be called upon to assume these duties equipped for the battle with the arrow and siiieid of education. He said every office of the Nation, from the President down, would have to be filled on the morrow from the ranks of the boys of our schools of today. Speaking in be ualf of the City Board of School Trus tees, whose honored president was away traveling, Mr. Craft concluded his ad ; j,ss by congratulating those concerned upon the success which had been at tained i the work of public education and said, wihio last year's work was rich in results, it should be the ever and constant aim, and there is no reason wiry it should not be, to make this session's work better than the last. Prof. Ives formally opened the exer cises with the prayer, “Our Father,” no clergyman having called upon to carry out this office, for us h<# had previously expressed it, tnere should be no denomi national distinction. Following this there was responsive reading, and tne ever-inspiring “America” was voiced in unison by over 201) people. There were a number of ladies and gentlemen in the audience, among whom the reporter noted Hon. Geu. A. bouie, former member of tne County School Board; Mr. Paul Daniels, Mr. and Mrs, E. S. Drake, Mrs. \V. A. McDonald, Mrs. W. O. Sylvester, Mrs. Frank Cope land, Misses Muller and Toledano. The City Board of Trustees were rep resented by Secretary Jos. E. Saucier, Frank Hymel and Charles G. Moreau. Messrs. Chapman and Perkins, members, were out of the city, but we feel sure were present in spirit. The faculty of the school for the pres ent session is as follows: Snperintendent and principal, Prof. C. E. Ives, assisted by Miss Mary C. Cook in the high school work; Miss Vir ginia Chapman, oth and 7th grade; Miss May H. Edwards, 4th and sth grades; Miss Rosetta McGinn, 2nd and bid grades; Miss Mabel V. Cazeneuve, pri mary department, six teachers in all. School matron, Mrs. Nora Barret. Opening attendance, 174; attendance on Wednesday, ISB. Thus all attend ance records are broken compared with other years for September. During vacation the entire building had .been put in thorough shape and minor repairs carried out. Ail fences whitewasned and the playgrounds clean ed, and all shade trees intelligently trimmed. The plumbing has been over hauled and ail points in sanitation at- j tended to. Drains under the water hy- | drants were established by Mayor Gar-, debled and the work carried out by Street Commissioner Bangard. While Prof. Ives does not intend to revolutionize things or introduce radical reforms, yet he has inaugurated a num ber of new rules, all of which with those already established he will see are religiously carried out. lie is a believer in system and a man of long experience and "ability we have no douot tue pres ent session of the Bay St. Douis public schools will be a banner year in the his tory of our public system of education. Mr. A. E. Flores, who has been man ager at Dreamland Theatre under the new ownership, left Sunday for Scran ton, where he nas been given , charge of a similar enterprise owned by the same company. Mr. Jas. K. Wilson, artheat ricai man of experience has assumed charge and has introduced a num ber of innovations. The show' has been drawing large crowds every night. The prices of 10 and 15 cents have been abolished and o and 10 cent prices pre vail, with a little better show at that. You are not buying shoes right unless you buy the Beacon aa the Bay Mercan tile company $3.00 and $3.50. After careful deliberation the city of Bay st. Louis has decided net to give the work of building the colored public school building by contract, as had at first been intended, but the work will be carried out by the city and supervised by the board of aldermen, with the ma yor as ex-officio member. Anthony Thiery has been appointed foreman of workmen, and Mrs. K. Edwards & Sons will furnish both the lumber and brick. The one-story plan, with a six-foot basement, has been adopted, and will ! be so arranged as to make another story possible in the future, whenever the necessary funds 'will be available. The board of school trustees, through proper representation, at a special meeting of the city council, held on Tuesday night, recommended the two-story plan as be ing essential to adequate comfort and convenience, but tlxe one-story plan was necessarily adopted in the absence of a favorable consideration or agreement I upon the proposition submitted to the council by the special committee repre senting the “Colored Citizens’ Prcgros- j ! sive Le gue” in relation to the SIOOO | the public subscribed and contributed j for the purchase of the colored school recently sold. The board was willing, and reiterated this disposition, to accept this money from the colored people con ditionally as follows: To be appropri ated to school building purposes; to be I used for the proposed colored school ■ building only, and to end here all fur ; ther provisos and conditions. But it I appears the report submitted by the ! colored citizens (published in full else i where) must prevail in toto, or prove i naught, andjj t the„xuatter was dismissed ! by the board. "The one-story frame | building will consist of four largo rooms, ! one hall and one small front porch or I “landing”. The building will rest upon i 6-foot brick pillars; thus the basement | will serve as an admirable play-ground 'or retreat in inclement weather. It is expected work will be started Monday. H. de S. Gillum, merchant, located on the corner of Front and State streets, through his attorney, Emile J. Gex, en tered into voluntary bankruptcy pro ceedings on Wednesday, filing his peti tion before Deputy United States Clerk Roy Chinn at Biloxi: His liabilities are $1,980 and his assets about B'iUO, with no insurance, as has been published. Tnree' years ago this November Mr. Gillum’s business became demoralized by fire, and, while he did a splendid business I from time to time, he could never recoup his losses, Some time ago ugly rumors were sent to New Orleans concerning commercial Bay St. Louis, and his crediturs began to press him in a man ner that he fought hard, paying bills as he could. But it was impossible to stem the tide, and he resorted to bankruptcy proceedings, turning over all he pos sessed to his creditors, as above related. Due notice will be given through the columns of the local press for a meeting of creditors and others concerned. The announcement of Mr. Gillum’s misfor tune was received with much regret, as he has many friends and patrons, who hope to see him emerge from his trou ble. He is one of our best citizens, en terprising and progressive and always identified with every interest calculated to redound to the benefit of the city. Rev.

RED HOT Just about twenty years ago we reached the goal of al most everybody’s ambition, we .went in a store to clerk Yes sir, to clerk, it seemed to us'as it lias never seeme( since, that all the difficulties of life had been surmounted at one grand, glorious leap. Such follows as John D Yander-Carnegie didn’t bother us in those days—fact waf we felt as one of them, sure pop. We had all the mom in the world we needed (loots.). Didn’t know anything about wanting things we didn’t need then, that's a latei day acquisition. Our pockets were full (knife, piece of tobacco and that 15 cents) we had no needs, very few wants. Hadn’t the Highest doubt about being the richest i man in the town in ten years, and were perfectly satislied but didn’t know it. Oeo whiz, to year about that age is worth a dozen now. We got a long ways oil what we started to write about, but not any further than the follow who mistook salt for sugar. \\ ell, lets see, believe we will say something about Flour. Do you eat it, rather do you eat bisquit, if so, you eat flour. We buy hour in solid car lots always direct from the mines. WHITE STAR AND SWEET HOME The former for bread, the later for bisquit. If you have never used either of these hours give them a trial. Respectfully, Do not buyjyour winter suit or pants i till you have seen new stock at the Bay j Mercantile company. Col. Walter H. Murphy, of New Or leans, is about to erect a very handsome bungalow on the beach. It is whispered among his friends that it is to bo one of the handsomest on the coast, and will be completed by next spring, in ample time to entertain his friends, who, we I know, are legion. The four-day “rummage sale” held at the Edwards building, benefit Altar .So ciety of the Catholic church, came to a close Saturday night and netted $111.(55. This is considered a splendid amount and the ladies in charge are to be con gratulated upon their success. Miss Elise Muller, who has been visit ing relatives in Carroll avenue, returned to her home in New Orleans, to bo pres ent today at the silver wedding anni versary of her parents, Mr. and Mrs. Geo. Muller, former residents of this city. St. Rose parochial school building for colored children, is undergoing a thor ough renovation and the exterior is being remodeled. The good sisters of St. Joseph’s Academy and Convent are expending considerable money in carry ing out the work, which in matter of fact is simply a “labor of love.” Miss Zoe Posey, Miss Gallic Bowers, Matei s Posej a- un Bow< i act •i --panied by their relative, Mrs. Kemp, are preparing to leave during the latter part of the month for Washington, D. C., where they will make their home for the winter. They will be 'joined by Con gressman and Mrs. E. J. Bowers, who are at Lake Saranac, N. Y. At a meeting of tne Home Mission Society, of the Main Street Methodist Church, the resignation of Mrs. R. Kemp as president was accepted and to Mrs, John Osoinach was unanimously given the honor as successor. Mrs. Kemp will shortly leave for Washington, D. C., to spend the winter, hence her resignation.
