PRESS ASSOCIATION.
Annual Meeting.

The t~hirty-frst annual meeting of
the Mississippi Press Association is
now being held in Meridian, with a
larger attendance than ever before
known in the history of the organiza-
tion. The entire press of the State is
represented, almost without cxcep-
ton. Many Of the editors were accom-
panied by their families, and all are
being royalty entertained by the good
people of Meridian. Many new men,
berS have been taken in. This notable
gathering embodics much of the
brains and enterprise Of our great
Commonwealth, and the education of
the masses is safe in their hands.
The session %adiourns tonight, Thurs.
day, and a fuller report of the pro,
ceedings will he given in our next
issue.

Lumber Trade journal.
The mills in this district are all
busy on orders for European and South
American countries. Some Of them
are running at night while others
put in" Il day and a quarter, and car
goes are piled up, While clearanceS are
OF daily occurrence.
A ride out from Scranton to the
milling district around Moss Point is
n revelation to the lumber man who
for any length of time has been ac-
cuStOmed to watching the compara-
lively slow process Of loading cars at
the interior mills.
On the docks here millions of feet OF
lumber are awaiting shipment TO all
points Of the coIupasstwhilc tugs with
towS OF timber strung out behind
them seem almost human, straining
every nerve in their efforts; Others are
flashed" alongside Of barges that are
several times larger than themselves,
all pointing their bows toward the
Gulf.
At the mills Of Denny & Co., a big
four-masted schooner was taking on
lumber, and, judging by her size, there
Will be about 500, 900 feet less lumber
on the docks when she is loaded. The
mills Of this company are running
every day on prime and other grades OF
yellow pine.
The Journal prcscribcS a visit to
this little burg at any season as Il sure
cure for the blues For instance,
drop in on E. Bloomfield at the Moss
Point Lumber Company. or into the
Offices OF the Dcnny'S. Or if you are
at the ''other end" Of the town, inter
view the Dantzler boys, and you will
soon become firmly converted that
this world isn't half so bad after all ,and
you will feel rs If you could shake
hands even with the first collector
who sticks a bill in your face.
The mills Of the Moss Point Lum'

and night. Vessels were coming il

The London Times of the 10th inst.
publishes a three column letter from
a correspondent in Havana, under
date of May IL. In the course of the
letter this corresponpondent says:
1t is quite useless to hide the real
situation. The whole Island is in re-
volt and the Spanish troops are mere
ly acting on the defensive. 1t Is
impossible to prevent the landing Of
supplies and war materials for the re-
bells. Even the position of MaceO's
forces, confined in Pinar del Rio, is
not OF a desperate nature, as the
SpaniardS make believe. Only a few
isolated rebels have taken advantage
OF Captain General Weyler's offer Of
amnesty. Spain has lost the power to
protect life and property In Cuba.
Widespread inquiries fail to justify
the charges OF cruelty against Cap
tain General Weyler, but the rebels
destruction OF property cannot be
justified. The wanton burning of
some Gl 100000 worth Of property be-
longing to ~inoffensive people is not

The announcement of the renOmi-
nation of Gen. Thos. c. Catchings for
Congress, to succeed himself in the
third district of Mississippi, brings
pleasure and satisfaction to the sound
money party in this State and to low
ers of good government generally.
On the all-important money question,
Mr.. Catchings is sound to the core,
and ranks among the ablest Congress.

wide distinction as an advocate of
river and harbOr improvements, and
largely assisted in procuring govern.
ment aid for tla important purpose.
His constituents have acted wisely in
taking steps that will return him to
his present field Of usefulness.

A BIG THING.

There is M thing that this COM
munity has got to have, and that is a
t~lrst-class hotel for the entertainment
Of winter and summer visitors. twill
surely come, sooner or later, and the
people who get in on the ground floor,
are going to havca capital good thing.
There is not M investment to be made
in the State, that would pay hall so
well, and W. respectfully beg to call
the attention of people having money
to invest, to that very plain fact.
Everybody knows that watering place
hotels make plenty of money. 1t takes
very few figures to calculate that a
well appointed hotel, which would ac-
commodatc 100 guests comfortably,
and could be erected and fitted out
for 100000 or whereabouts, would
pay under proper management all the
way from % to 40 per cent profit on
the investment annually. At $3.50 a
day, 100 guests means $3.50 a day; and
$3.50 a day would be a most eXtrava-
CANT estimate for running expenses.
There you are with $1,000 a month
profits.
But where are the guests? There
are plenty Of them all over the United
States and Canada, %anxiously waiting
to be informed that there is just such
a place as P~ascagoula in the world.
with a comfortable hotel, where they
can spend the winter, aud there are
plenty of them in New Orleans, and
Mobile, and all about, who want such
a place to spend the summer. 1t is
well-knOwn that the gulf coast Of
Mississippi is becoming nor and
more widely known throughout the
country as the most delightful spot
under the Stars and Stripes; and
every year the movement Of Northern
visitors towards it is larger and more
pronounced. A few years ago nobody
thought of coming to this coast in
the winter, and to-day many come and
leave for lack of decent accommoda-
tions; and hundreds would come, if
they could secure such accommodate
tions. There is large, an imperative
demand for Just such a hotel, as we
are advocating, Every place on the
coast, from Bay st. Louis to Ocean
Springs, that even pretends to be a
hotel, is full, winter and summer.
Now we know here, and everybody
will find out, if we do a little proper
advertising, that there is not II spot
on the whole coast, that has the ma
tural advantages of Pascagoula for a
watering place. 1t has the best beach,
and almost the only clean, hard sand
bottom for bathing purpose. 1t has 4
beautiful back country, and more
sights" than any other place on the
coast. 1t lies nearer the deep water o.
the gulf, and so has s%altier, clelrer
water, better fishing, better boating
better oysters, better everything. 1t i
the best place on the coast, and ever.
stranger that sees it says so. Tn
one thing we need today is a first
class hotel kept in flrst-class style
and advertised in a flrst-class fashion
and the ma that builds it is goinI
4 to make a tlrst-class fortune out of il
t What can we doabout it? Somcthin
we must do.

Col. II. NJ. Taylor will, the latter
part Of next week, commence work on
the five thousand dollar addition TO
Mr.. NJ. Green's house OF north State
street. When finished the house Will
be one Of the most excellent on this
street.
A few days ago there appeared in
the Mississippi Bureau column of the
New Orleans Picayune an interesting
account Of this old house. Following
is the article:
One of the historic landmarks OF
the city Of Jackson is about to be dis
mantlcd aud made to conform to
modern ideas.
The residence of Mr.. MarcelluS
Green, on State street, was once the
Governors mansion, having been built
by Gov. Hiram G.. Runnels in the days
of the Mississippi bubble, and in it
more than half Il century ago transpil-
ed some Of the most interesting and
thrilling incidents Of the political
and financial history Of the State.
1t was there that Sh0ckO Jones was
banqueted, when he made his advent
with the abundant money Of the Cape
Fear Bank, TO be loaned to hungry
borrowers then to be lost forever. 1t
Is related on that occasion OF hilarity
and liquor that II of Mississippfs
distinguished citizens got on top OF
the table and sang his celebrated
song, 'Old Black Bull Came Down the
Meadow"
The memory Of these traditions is
fast fading away. Newer forms are
taking shape; different ideas prevail,
and the American citizen with hi,
ruthless doctrine Of progress is con
signing those landmarks to destruc
tion, which give suggestion to The
present of those pleasant memories o.
