GREATER PAsuAGOULA.


The movement to consolidate the
cities OF Scranton and Mnss Point and
the town Of PascagOula and village Of
East Side into one municipality un-
der The namc Of PascIgoula, Is no
new idea, as many nf the thinking and
wiser inhabitants OF these places have
consulted upon the subject on sev-
eral occasions as to the economy and
prospective importance OF a combined
strength involved for all concerned.
The experience of large cities form.
ing into one has proved entirely sat-
isfactory in assisting them to leading
positions in the great march of pro.
gress in our country.
The close connection of our four,
now seperate communities and the
business and social affinity that ex.
lists between them will doubtless make
easy the accomplishment of the pro
position.
Each represented according to pop
ulatiQn would be entitled to and re-
ceive a just share of public improve
ments and greater ability to reap the
advantages of whatever prosperity
may DC invited through combined
efforts to increase the trade and
growth OF the consolidated commu.
