flavor Howard, of Biloxi. Resigns
Mavor H. I. Howard, Of Biloxi

Mavor II. T. Howard, OF Biloxi,
has resigned. Mr.. Howard has
done much for that town, progress
sive and liberal. donating hand
somely at frequent intervals from
his individual purse to the city.
and the names Of Howard and
Biloxi have been synonymous
at all times. From the Biloxi Her
aid we reproduce the following

For several days past, since the
resignation Of Hon. H. I. Ho-
ward as mayor Of this city.
followed by his retirement a. wee
president of the Bank Of Biloxi.

matter, which was nothing more
or less than a legitimate business
transaction.
Nh. W. X. NJ. Dukate, one Of
the directors Of the bank, was Sc
iected by that Institution to bid a
Icertain sum for the bonds, with
the understanding that if his bid
was accepted the bank would
purchase the bonds from him and
thereby become a third party to
| the transaction. This was deem
| ed necessary, as the mayor and
