At P%iSCiGOULA.

Mayor Nolney Brown is rushing the shells
on the front drive along the beach.
Prof. J. E. Eagan finished his winter term
at the Bluff Creek school and came down to
this beach for a few days rest and
recreation. Piney woods fare agreed with
him very well, but an involuntary cold bath in
Pascagoula bay gave him chills and fever for
a day or two.
On Thursday night, 23rd inst, the frs,
slurnbers of the people on this quiet beach
were rndely broken by an alarm of fire.
About | | p. m. the house of Mrs. Freeman, On
Buena Vista street, occupied BY Miss Edlyn
N. Clark was in full blaze and Miss Clark,
who was sound asleep at the time had a mar
row escape from cremation. A volunteer fire
brigade was soon organized, aud BY heroic eE-
forts of the citizens, both white aud black, the
fire was confined to the house where it origi.
mated and much of the furniture WAS saved.
Fortunately the wind, coming from the north
east, was not very high, vet it blew a perfect
shower OF sparks and burning shingles to,
ward the beach as far as the Cottage blythe.
Sea, and at ono time the whole front was in
immediate danger. The roof of a cowshed IN
the rear of the Pascagoula Hotel caught at
one tune, but was fortunately put out by some
colored people. Had it got fairly started the
whole front would have been duomed to de-
struction. Mrs. Freeman is the heaviest Loser
as her house was insured for only 81 900 in the
Liverpool, London 4 Globe and is a total loss,
What damage was done to the furniture is
fully covered by insurance IN the same com.
panv. Miss Clark and Mr.. and Mrs. Albert
Bradford now occupy their former quarters in
the Castanera cnttage on the beach, until their
own house, now IN Course of construction on
their lot south of the Catholic cemetery, is
finished.
The warm spring weather brought ont a
large number Of Scranton and Moss Point
people to our beach on Sunday.

Departed this lie March Is, 1899, in Moss

daughter of Edwin. and Lethe Turner, aged 2
years and 6 days. We laid the little form to
rest only for a little time in the cold, damp

to the home circle, and a severe blow to the
afflicted parents, but they have now another
precious jewell in their heavenly treasure, for
their little GIRLS
Safe in the arms Of Jesus,
Safe from eorroding care,
Safe from the worlds temptations,
Sin cannot harm her there.
