When the rains began It was thought
proba bly, the result might be some increase
in the fax acreage over what had previ-
ously been figured upon. because the rains
would delay the seeding of wheat and
other grains and because farmers would
then put in flax. But after noting the dis
tribution of the rains grain men are in
clined to dismiss this belief.
more important factor affecting fax
seeding is the advance in prices. Mime

s1.07 to s1.15 in about ten days. This re-
moves the old bugaboo that fax was
shortly to sell under 81 and will no doubt
have some effect in influencing farmers
who have not yet completed their seeding

ments whereby 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 special
edition, which will be entirely separate
from our regular one, around the holiday
season, but 1t was found not only i'm
practicable but utterly impossible 10 I'M
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.
II. L. and K. H. Lyons, of Laurel, Miss,
two young gentlemen who are specialists
in 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
say nothing Of the like has ever been at
tempted in this section. Much history
abounds in Bay st. Louis, it's undevelop-
ed resources are wonderful and as a
summer and winter resort it has no
equal. These win be given special at
tention and the city Will never havo ro
ceived better and more representative
advertisement than this proposed edition
with circulation up in the thousands.
We propose to give Logtown and Pearl

nifty to be represented in this edition.
