Last Friday Mayor c. II. Wood, Of

tackled by a panther, and had . marvel
escape from serious injury owing to
his presence of mind. He adroitly GOV.
cred the animal ct the close range Of
two feet and fired, killing 1t instantly.
The curiosity Of the panther in wanting
to behold Moss Points first mayor was
accounted for by Its proving to 10 ! f.
male.
The "mysterious music" that has for
upwards Of q century created SO much
wonder is now being accounted for. By
some 1t was attributed to be voices OF
unseen fishes, by others the wsilings Of
Indian msidens when q defeated tribe Of
Chsttas were forced to take to the wat
ers of the bay rather than be extermin.
ated d~isgracefully by another tribe OF
red sborigines. Who knows but what
this strange sound comes from the heart
Of the pent up bosom Of old mother
earth, and when 81 eight-inch well !,
sunk lei the mouth Of Pascagouls
river . gusher may spout forth oil to the
heighth Of several hundred feet.
