Not certainty as vet, the directors
of the Hancock County Bank have un-
der adyisement and are seriously propos-
ing the erection Of n brick building ad-
joining the bank, provided they can close
satisfactorily lease OF long term with
the Cumberland Telephone company to
occupy the second floor. This building
would face Front street and situated to
occupy the full width of the lot save a
foot on each side, and extend from the
AAhS " wv AN'A NAl'A VI tllt bdlih uullu-
ing to about half way toward the front,
leaving about thirty feet Of the present
lawn. The Echo trusts the bank Off
cials will see their way clear to erect
such building, not only that it will add
to the revenue of the municipality, but
to the material progress Of the city. Bay
St. Louis is destined to great things and
the earlier we have them the better.
The first overcoat weather of the sea-
son came in splendid shape Wednesday
night and by Thursday the thermometer
had dropped to 40. 1t was high time
cold weather set in, for it is well known
continuation week or two longer of
the spring-like weather which prevailed
heretofore would have caused fruit trees
to blossom forth, only to meet with di-
saster at the first cold thereafter The
touch OF winter was in every manner
gladly welcomed, first for the general
health of mankind and in the interest of
the business community where big stocks
OF winter wares were shelved the past
month or two. Such was the weather
for Thursday typical Thanksgiving
day, sunshiny and sufficiently bracing
for sharpening ones appetite for the
consumption of the national bird.
At the church of Our Lady of the Gulf
last Sunday the infant son of Mr.. and
Mrs. Honore Lacoste, of Ansley, was
christened by Very Rev. Father Blanc,
with Mr.. Richard Mendes and Mrs. Ra-
oul Telhiard as sponsors, and named
Richard Mendes Lacoste. After the ce-
remony an informal celebration of the
event was held at the residence of Mr..
and Mrs. Raoul Telhiard, where a dinner
was Sc we'd to a table of about twen-
ty-hve covers and the guests entertain
ed around the festal board until a late
hour in the evening. The spread, boun-
tiful and choice, was noted not only for
the excellence of the cuisine and the
dainty manner in which it was served,
but for the completeness of the selection
and the extra quality of the wines. The
decorations were natural flowers and the
sfyoss lunches Of Golden Wedding
chrysanthemums. Among the out-of-
town guests were Mr.. and Mrs. Stuart
Mrs. Lacoste's parents. Mr.. and Mrs
Lacoste left for their home Monday
morning.
While here Monday Worlds Fair
Commissioner R. H. Henry made inqui-
ry regarding the woolen mills at this
place with view of securing an exhibit
at the St. Louis Worlds Fair of the pro-
ducts of the mill. 1t will be remember
ed by number of our readers the mill
made magnificent display of manufac-
tured goods at the exposition in New
Orleans, i8S4-S5, and carried of honor:
and prizes. The goods turned out were
noted for their excellence of texture and
for the superiority of "all wool' quality
and although the mill has not turned q
wheel since about fifteen years many
families in this section still have in theil
possession and are using shawls anc
blankets turned out from under its roof
All these years and even up to this time
a night watchman guards the "stllly pre-
cincts" of the big works well salaried
The mill was purchased year or two
since from the Ulman estate by a loca
stock company at a price which the
marketable value of the land alone fal
exceeds, to say nothing of the building
and machinery.
Miss Alice Combel, from Biloxi, spent
mart Of week here with relatives and
friends.
