No doubt every me OF the State Of.

lature down, realize that a great mis-.
take was made when the public print
Ing contract was given to the Florida
printing Concern. We are told that
Secretary Of State Power, recently, re.
ceived quite a batch OF proof from the
so-called State printers. They we're
the worst he ever saw. Col. Power
has read a million Ralleys OF proof, but
never before did he tackle any worse
than those from jacksonville. The
State printers must employ the cheap.
est labor obtainable-veritahle rats"
The type Is machine set. and will av.
erage at least one hundred mistakes to
the galley. The printer who would
put up such type would not be toler.
ated on a third class weekly newspa.
per. Not only are the first proofs
abominable, but the revlses are had
for ordinary first proof sheets. The
sooner Mississippi gets rid OF her pres.
ent public printers the better fOI the

The deep water celebration and COM
merciaI picnic to be held at PascaRoula
on Wednesday, July 4, will be a grand

Those who have the management Of
the celebration In hand have left moth.

Such meetings Of our people are Ut the

will be afforded them for enjoyment

MODERN HOTELS NEEDED.

To meet the effort being made by
the Louisville and Nashville railroad
and the P~ascagoula Commercial Club
to attract visitors toour sea coast. IL Is
essential that a modern hotel should
be erected in Pascagoula that will pro.
vide for the comfort and entertain.
ment OF guests, however up-to-date
may he their expectations and de-
mands.
Many influential citizens Of Mobile
have assured the DEMoCRAT.STAR re-
porter that Pascagoula and Ocean
Springs are the recognized resorts for
their summer sojourns, and that IL has
only required such measures as the one
i~naugurated OF the coast accommOda.
tion train. which affords them aquick,
short and pleasant opportunity TO
reach those places.
The subject OF building such a hotel
should be taken into serious consider
alton. and the sOOner It Is done the
better. Pascagoula Is prominently
the spot for a sea shore hotel. owing
to the location facing almost the open
sell, the islands In the distance serving
more as breakwaters than as Obstruc.
tiOns to the flow Of the waves and the
blow Of the breezes.
The waters OF the bay Of Pasragoula
arc sufficiently salty for the most de-
lightful and healthy bathing over hard
sandy bottom. In times past Pasca.
gOula was the fav0rite sea side resort
OF the Mississippi Sound coast.
