Great Profits on One acre Of Gulf
Coast Land.

Mr.. Louis B. Saucer, one of the pro-
gressive young truck farmers at Long
Beach informs us that from less than an
acre planted in radishes this spring he
had already shipped 10 barrels and to-
day closed with an additional 10 barrels.
From the 70 previously shipped he had
received returns from every one OF over
50 above freight, or total of more than
$3.50 and this too, without getting in any
OF the first shipments from which some
OF his neighbors received from $40 to Sf8
| per barrel. On the Same piece Of
ground Mr.. Saucier raised profitable
crop before putting in radishes and will
now plant it in melons, and in the fall
cuta crop of hay, thus raisino fourcrops
from the same piece ofland within wear.
For truck farming no section ofthe Union
! surpasses the Mississippi coast ifthe in
dustry is intelligently pursued. The
Truck Farmers Association at Long
Beach has proven OF material benefit to
its members.
During the radish season three re-
frigerated cars Of 150 barrels each have
been sent out weekly to Pittsburg, Pa,
and other northern points at an average
cost Of about so cents per barrel whereas
under the system Of individual shipments
by express the charges averaged $3.50
per barrel. AS suggested by Mr.. B. F.
Lindsay in these columns several weeks
ago the truck farmers around the Pass
should perfect an organization and be in
position to enjoy some Of the large
profits that can be earned from the ship
ments of vegetables to the northern
markets.--Pass Christian Beacon.

AN EXCLUSIVE CLUB.
Society Composed Of Firms That Have
Been In Business a Centurv.

The most exclusive club in the
United States is to meet in Philadel-
phia soon, and, although it is not the
Oldest, it Is the most venerable, says
the New York Evening Telegram.
This is not paradox, but fact.
The organization is known as the AS
sociation Of Centenary Firms and
Corporations Of the United States.
This society is composed Of men
who are perpetuating by succession
the family name in the enterprises
established 100 years ago. 1t will
meet to pass upon the eligibility Of
several applicants for membership.
The business feature of the associa-
tion, however, is likely to be lost sight
OF when the descendants begin to re-
yive the early incidents Of competi-
tion in businesses established before
the Bank Of England or the birth Of
Thomas Jefferson.
Membership in this association is
almost as jealously priced as a title Of
nobility. Each firm may be looked
upon as belonging to the 'immor-
tails" 1t happens that there are
firms and corporations dating back to
before the time when the First
George was king. One firm was in
business under the rule of James H.,
two under George l., eight under
George H., and 15 under George III.
The Oldest Of these houses in the
United States is the Francis Perot's
Sons Mailing company, Of Philadel-
phia, organized in 1857. In fact, the
majority Of the centenarians were To-
Gated in Philadelphia, and twas with
these as a nucleus that on June 12,
1889, the organization was perfected,
with Burnet Landreth, Of David Lam
dreth & Sons, of Philadelphia, as
president.
So much time was required for in
vestigation that nearly two years
elapsed before the record of the as
sociation was perfected. At the time
Of publication there was issued a 60
paige roster, containing 25 organiza-
tions.
Only one New York city firm, w.
ii. SchiefTelin e. Co, is in the roster.
Ten or twelve additional houses in
various parts Of the United States,
through the passage Of time, have be-
come eligible, making in all about As
establishments in which the business
has been handed down from the
founder to son, grandson and great
grandson,
In referring to the eligibility Of
firms which have been refused mem
bership. President Landreth said:
"Centeanry claims are sometimes
based on the retention OF an old firm
designation Of 100 years, even though
the direct descendants Of the founder
have long since ceased to take any
part in the management. An instance
of this is to be found in abrewery firm
established by the family Of the late
DR.. William Pepper. The Pepper
family has been unknown in the bust
ness for almost century and thus we
cannot admit the successors, or their
descendants, because no branch of the
original family is now identified with
it. Such newer firms under ancient
titles are not eligible, as the very
spirit of the association is in the ac-
tive participation Of the direct de-
scendants Of the founders"

Considerable i'll feeling and factional-
ism has been stirred up in Coahofna
county over the grand jury report, in
which Sheriff Shannon is criticised for
an alleged evasion OF the law. The re-
port says:
aWe find that on or about February
ist. many poll taxes and other taxes on
personal property had been unpaid, and
that for some reason the tax receipts
we're issued dated on or prior to the list,
of February, and that these receipts were
in the hands OF the sheriff or his former
deputy. These parties, we find, had not
paid their taxes on or before the first OF
February and haven't paid up until this
date. The sheriff has been charged by
the county auditor with the tax receipts
issued, and he has in his settlement paid
the taxes to the State, county and levee
boatd, but we regard this as an evasion
OF the law"
The complaint made against the sher-
liff was quite common custom among
tax collectors fewyears ago, and is still
followed in some Of the counties, the
tax collector making out receipts fol
persons whom he felt confident would
pay their taxes, and holding the receipts
for settlement after the first Of Februa-
nv, which is the limit for payments un.
der the law.

AN ILLUSTRATED MAUAZINE EDI-
TON OF THE ECHO.

It affords the management Of The Echo
much pleasure to announce to the peo-
pie of Bay st. Louis and Hancock coun-
ty that IL mas decided and made arrange.
ments whereby a mammoth edition Of
this paper, profusely illustrated and
bound in magazine form, will be issued
some time within the next two or three
months, to emanate from our new news
paper office building on the corner Front
and State streets. II was our intention
some months ago TO get out this specia
edition, which will be entirely separate
rom our regular one, around the holiday
season, but IL was found not only i'm
practicable but utterly impossible to un-
dertake 80 large work in our present
all too small quarters. For this work
The Echo has been particularly fortu-
nate in securing the services OF Messrs
Fl. l.. and f. II. Lyons, ofLaurel, Miss.
two young gentlemen who are specialists
the work, and who come to Bay st
Louis at our special solicitation. They
will collect and compile the data neces-
sary which will make this edition worthy
of life preservation and will attend to the
advertising department.. 1t is safe to
saw nothing OF the like has ever been at
tempted in this section. Much history
abounds in Bay st. Louis, its undeveIop-
ed resources are wonderful and as
summer and winter resort it has no
equal. These will be given special at
tention and the city will never have re-
ceived 81 better and more representative
advertisement than this proposed edition
with circulation up in the thousands.
We propose to give Loetown and Pearl
ington as we'll as Waveland an opportu-
nifty to be represented in this edition.

ODD BURGLAR ALARM.
Thieves In a Jewelry Store Scared
Away by a Cuckoo Clock.

When Inspectors Colby, Fitzgerald
and Wells, of Lynn, went to inyesti-
gate the robbery at Ashton's jewelry
store, which took place in that city,
recently, they found the safe door
wide open, but the contents of the
strong box undisturbed. They
also found that the cash drawer,
which contained about $50, had not
been interfered with, and that several
gold watches had not been taken, al
though they were within easy reach Of
the thieves.
Thereason for this peculiar state Of
affairs bothered the inspectors not a
little, and, after conferring with the
proprietor, they came to the conclu-
sion that the robbers had been fright
ened away. What it was that fright
ened them, however, they had some
difficulty in deciding until a cuckoo
clock in the store began to sound:
"Cuck-oo," "Cuck-oo," Cuckoo"
The sound resembled human voice
so much that it was evident the clock
had done the business and saved the
proprietor from having his entire
stock stolen.-Boston Herald.
OF the t81 young men and women who
applied for license to practice medicine
in the State of Mississippi last week the
State Board of Health granted same
to only "a - less than fifty per cent.
This class was the largest that has ever
applied to the State Board, but the ave-
rege has been maintained very well.
There are large number of young men
who appreciate the fact that having at.
tended only one course Of lectures at a
medical college, they are not entitled to
license, and who would be very much
surprised if a license should be granted
them. Those who failed this time will
be found next year trying again, an<
some of them for years to come.
