We have been struck with the number
Of people who throng to Pascagoula
every Sunday to enjoy the breezes and
the beautiful drive. Would it not be a
good idea for so me of our wide awake
citizens to ope'n a park in the beautiful
grounds that skirt the gulf, and have q
pleasure resort that everybody could en-
joy. Cur beautiful and growing towns
are sadly deficient in places of public
amusement that afford innocent pleas
ures to our young people.
A scant house was out to witness the
per Torrance at Odd Fellows Opera

sneak thief was discovered in the back
yard of one Of our town Aldermen. The
young ladies in the house became alarm
ed and called the city father, but he
treated 1t as a false alarm, till the chick
ems sat up such an cutlery that he ran
out to investigate and encountered a six
foot negro with q fat hen in each hand
making for the gateway. The Alder
man being the taller the negro retreated
to the stable and disappeared. A few
minutes after, he was discovered on the
roof of the stable, still holding fast to
his next days dinner. The stately
councilman picked up an armful of
wood and ~bombarded the stable in a
lively charge, but failing to effect an
! unconditional surrender he darted to-
ward the house to secure u gun, as the
ladies could do nothing. but scream
"shoot," but never attempted to "get
the gun" The negro made good his es-
cape with n fat hen and a handful of
feathers. This serves the fathers,
right, as they ought to put the ."mo,,e
on" ordinance on NIL these suspicious
negro dives where beer is drank all dav
and no work done.
