P~AsCAGoULA AND THE PRE- ASSOCIATION,
Columbus Independent.
Our readers must not complain that we
! are giving to much space 20 Pasoagoula
and the Press association recently assem-
bled there. Those people were so kind that
the fullest recognition is short of what
they deserve. The attendance of members
of the Press was the fullest ever had. The
extensive preparations Had by the citi-
Zens for entertaining them was equaled
only by the sincere welcome extended.
Unlike most communities there was no
holding back by some, each tried To do
more than another and the best evidence
of the hospitality meeted out to every
visitor, was the fact that each claimed he
had been better entertained than any one
else. We nave no respect longer for the
tradition that oysters are good only dur
ing the months which carry an a." for We
fed upon them as nice rs We're ever eaten, |
for breakfast, Inner and supper, and re-
peated the bill of fare every day. Floun-
der, Sheephead, and saltwater trout were
50 abundant that we put aside one to try
the other. The earth was beautiful with
lower and the air fragrant with their
perfume. We nave often wondered why
our people who are able to spend their
summers from home should travel to dis
tant watering places when they have at
home such delightful resorts upon the gulf
coast, where they can enjoy invigorating
sea bathing, refreshing breeZes and the
choicest fruits.
To Messrs. Mayors and Richmond of the
local press, and all the good citizens of
Pascagoula, the Press of Mississippi W
grateful remembrance which it will be a ,
pleasure to cherish. }

THE PRESS MEETING AT PAsCAGoULA.
Gazette. /
1t was our good fortune to be able to 0
attend the fourteenth annual meeting of -,
the Press association of Mississippi, which D
assembled at I,ascagoula on Wednesday y
o1 last WeeE AID remained in session un- +,
I'LL frlday afternoon. l.
III was che most numeTOusly attended !"
meeting of the association ever held-l15
the number of members present L
md was, throughout all its business \
transactions and all its appointments, de -
cidcdly the most enjoyable and delightful
affair in which we ever participated. = e
> We cannot omit now to C
speak of the splendid reception given by G
the people of PascagOula and the adia- :,
cent coast towns, and the most profuse II
and unaffected hospitality shown to the "
press throughout the memorable three "
days. 1t is safe to say that the people \
there-and especially the ladies, single i
and m~aITied-with whole souls and big L
and liberal hearts-did everything in their s.
power to make the occasion not only de-
lightful, but grand aud imposing, and II
their efforts were a success, Not a mem :
Der of the press gang left the coast with II
other than the highest feelings of respect, Il
admiration and gratitude towards the n
whole people, while not a few young and !,
middle-aged editors, we suspect, left their !,
hearts with the interesting, beautiful and q
charming ladies who manifested SO much G
interest in the affair, and contributed so n
largely towards making it a grand sue q
cess. "
We are under obligations that We shall u
never forget to a large number Of the good Y
people of the coast, both ladies aud gen
tlemen, tor their kindness and hospitality, r
and to none more than Col NJ. b. Rich \
mond aud his lady whose guests we were. $
