Senator A. j. McLaurin delivered in
the Senate Tuesday last his maiden
speech. The Wilson bill was his
theme, and it is pronounced by those
who heard it a mastery address, re-
plete with apt illustrations, and de-
livcred with power and eloquence. So
the Junior Senator from this State,
although dubbed. a "Piny Woods
Clodhopper," has made a tcn-strike,
and come to the front in great shape.
Mississippi ought to be proud Of the
gallantan fearless 'Ansc McLaurin.'

PAsOAGOULA

Northerncrs have only a slight
knowledge of the Importance Of the
coast of the Mississippi Sound.
From Mobile to Bay ST. Louis this
stretch of SEA shore has long been re-
sorted TO by the inhabitants of Louis
lana. Mississippi and Alabama during
the summer season, where. at the scv-
eral watering places, health, comfort
an pleasure are in waiting To reward
the visitors. Those from the North
and West who have been induced to
give this coast Il trial in the winter,
from their cooler to eur warmer re-
gion, have testified to the satisfaction
they enjoyed through expressions of
praise and delight. So pleased are a
majority Of these welcome sojOurncrS
that their return is looked for yearly.
Quite a number have purchased homes
hcreabout in which to enjoy the old
Roman "Otium cum dignitatc."
Pascagoula, Il own seaport only
a little We Il mile in distance from
this station to its beach, deserves
especial attention for the combination
of natural qualities to be found there
all the year round, which proves 50
gatifying to the feeble and the weary.
Already the sea brcezes are beginning
to blow their ozonic solace to grateful
sufferers, tempered in approach
through the fine scented, land-hcatcd
air, and owe the tepid shorc-waters
Of the beautiful P%aScagoula bay. Soon
bathing in salt water over hard sand
bottom, boating and fishing, eXcur-
sions to the islands in the ofiing, and
driving to this place, Moss Point and
into the country on well-kcpt roads,
will be in season.
PascagOula is Receiving from the eff
fccts of the hurricane OF last October,
which ravagcd the entire coast, and
left seams and scars that are being
cifaccd as rapidly as possible. Such a
great storm was never before cXpc-
ricnccd ON this shore, and may never
occur agatha visitation which should
not reflect adversely to its safety, but
be regarded as phenomenal and rel
egated TO summer poets; such IL 0urs,
who was in the disturbance, and gives
vent to his impressions in the follow
ing production:
During the hurricane,
The wind and wave and rain
In commotion from the ocean,
Came to ravage the beautiful shore
0! the splash and crash and thunder roar
OF the furious hurricane.
During the hurricane,
A track Of ruin lain,
When disaster followed faster
Than the breath of frantic fear could tell;
o! swift as a blast from Dante's hell
Was the death bowling hurricane.
During the hurricane
Faint sounds of woe and pain
From the distance for assistance,
Cried and saddencd the turbulent air
o! the voices of helpless despair
In the mercilcss hurricane.
During the hurricane,
The corpscs of the slain,
In confusion Of profusion
Mixed with the wreckagc that strcwcd the
sea
o! it was a dire calamity
The great Autumnal hurricane.

THE VALUE OF DECISION.

Decision is noble element of char
acter. The vacillating man can never
realize greatness. He wastes his i'm
pulses and time in hesitancy. He
poises too long between opposite forces,
and when he moves onward it is with
the faltering step of indecision. His
faculties are relaxed-they are not
condensed into manly force by de-
termined will. How many opportunl-
ties for doing good in great or small
degree are lost by indecision! Whilst
we are asking ourselves "Shall 1, or
shall I not?,, the moment is passed,
and the flower of joy which we might
have given is withered and often can be
no mere revived even by tears of penl-
tence.-Detroit Free Press.
The mirror. (Stillwater, Minn.) 1894-1925, 1894-12-06

which to be thankful. Then we should,
with feeling of reverence, render to the
Most High our acknowledgements for
all His mercies, and resolve to so live
in the future as to merit continuance
of them. 1t is perhaps, as we'll that
costom dictates that church services
on that day should come before instead
of after dinner for very much fear
that were it postponed until after that
very essential meal, most of us would
be too full for utterance, or it we
undertook to express ourselves at all,
it would only result in horrible imi-
tation of gobble. don't know that
1 have given my subject much in the
way of interest, and I feel that it is
lacking in that prime factor of good
composition, coherency; and l rather
fancy that 1 can hear you when you
inwardly say as did my friend, We are
thankful that he had decided to stop.
