BARNES HoTEL-Every one who has
visited this splendidly kept hotel this sea-
son, bears witness to the fact that under
the present management it rivals the most
celebrated summer resorts in the Union
As a watering place Mississippi City has no
rival on the Southern coast. The bathing
there is all that could be desired, while the
opportunities for sport in fishing or yacht
ing are far beyond those of even the most
favored Northern localities. All that has
been needed hitherto was first-class hotel
for the reception of guests, and now that
Major Hurd and Colonel Nixon have taken
the matter in hand, the place may be said to
be perfect The accommodation train will
leave for there this afternoon at 500 and
persons leaving by it will arrive at Missis-
sippi City in time to take good bath and
then hot fish supper. They can then
stay there until Monday morning when the
early morning train will bring them back
10 the city in time for business.
