The Pascagoula democrat-star. (Pascagoula, Miss.) 1878-1920, 1891-05-15

Our thanks are due Capt. Volnry
Brown, of the Scranton Exchange, fol
a bottle OF sparkling champagne on
the occasion of his grand opening
Saturday. 1t was enough 10 make u,
forget all our woes. Long life to you,
Capt. Brown.
Mr.. j. II. Parker sends us this
week a jug of mineral water from his
famous liie-giving spring oil the Pas
cagoula river. We have never seen
an analysis of these waters, but from
repute and taste they must be some
thing extraordinary.
From the number of music deal
ers that visit our town, and the ex-
tent of their sales, we should judge
that we had a musical community.
We do not care how many fine lmstrn-
ments they sell so they do not sell any
of our neighbors an ACCORDION before
they learn TO play.
"A change of schedule on the l.. e
N. Railroad went into effect last Sun

The trouble with all of our coast
towns has always been that The streets
are too narrow, aud we are sorry to
say that even our beautiful Pascagou-
la suffers from the same cause. The
streets are too narrow, or else people
have ~encroached upon them in build
ing. Whichever may be the case, let
il be remedicd at once. But widen
the streets.
The Democratic Executive Com
mittcc met IN Scranton Oh Saturday,
the 9th inst. The question as to
whether nominations should be made
by a convention or a primary election
was decided in favor of The primaries,
which will be held on Saturday, June
81, 1891. The committee endorsed
our counlyman, Mr.. NJ. A. Dees, for
Railroad Commissioncr-singlc shot.
The registration books are now
open at the COurt-honsc for the regis
of voters, and the officers are
on hand TO do more work, but still
hero arc very few availing Them
of the opportunity thus offered
hem. The result will be that some
body is going to be sadly left and
thew will have no one TO blame bul
themselves.
The term of office of the Harbor
of P~ascagoula Bay having
the Board of Pilot Commits
'ioners was called together on Satur-
lay, the 9th inst, TO elect another,
which resulted in the selection of Mr..
J. p. Fox, who has so satisfactorily
illed the place for the last year, TO be
lis own successor.
The Quarterly Conference OF the
VI. L. Church convened at this place
asst Saturday. We were glad TO meet
lmong the ministers present the
riend Of our boyhood Presiding Ed
n f. II Mounger, and glad 10 see that
line has dealt gently with him. The
Rev. DIR. j. W. Harmon, we are glad
o say, is looking remarkably well,
onsidering his recent illness. But
he Doctor is an old-limer, and was
,orn in the DAYS when men were built
# oak aud Tor hard service, and he
'as never forgotten il, aud no small
will keep him from always
,eing on hand.
The delegates from Scranton
No. 45, 1. o.. D. +, returned

ne had a magnificent time, aud are
Dud in their praise of the people of
