p. johnson, OF New Orleans, arri-
we'd here Wednesday, from the Ex-
position at New Orleans, bringing
with them a complete outfit for
camping, sporting, etc, such as a
splendid carriage with a baggage
wagon, boat, tent, fishing tackle
and towing pieces, as wellas SPLEEN
did teams of horses. They lett here
on the same evening chaperoned by
Mr.. r. p. Blalack, for the purpose
of striking tent or PascagOula
beach where they will engage III
fishing, sea bathing, boat riding,
etc. They expect to remain there
about ten days, when they will re-
turn to their homes in Alabama By
land. We hope that they will find
that the balmy sea breezes, the salt
sea bathing and other p|easurable
resources of the coast are not over
rated by the most ardent admirers,
and that they will reap a rich har-
vest of the same.

say that no county commissioner of

his county he would be equally true
as Secretary of State.
