SEASON 1901.

The hope is entertained that many
persons will come to the Gulf coast to
solourn during the summer months.
They should be attracted by com
bined effort and made TO enjoy the
different diversions to be found at our
resorts.
Alabamians, Louisianians and Mis-.
sissippians, who have in the past
spent the heated term at any Of the
watering points well know their su
perior advantages as health restoring
places of rest.
I The natural desire for a change
from city to seaside life will doubtless
bring a larger number this year than
usual.
Pascagoula and Ocean Springs are
delightfully."- situated and easily
reached by the accommodating train
service Of the Louisville and Nashville
Railway.
The bathing, boating and fishing
afford pastimes sufficient to crafty
the desires OF all who are fond OF such
sports.
The ever delightful sea breezes coo
the atmosphere and make pleasant
the days and nights.
A hearty welcome awaits those Wit
will visit any Of our coast resorts.
