AN ILLUSTRATED MAGAZINE EDI.
TIoN or THE ECHO.

II affords the management Of The Echo
much pleasure to announce to the peo-
plo Of Bay ST. Louis and Hancock coun-
ty that it has decided and made arrange
mehts whereby amanimoth edition of
this paper, profusely illustrated and
bound in magazine form, will be issued
some time withfnthe next two or three
mbhhs, 70 emanate from our new nows-
paper office building on the corner Front
and State streets. Itwas our intention
some months ago TO get out this special
edition, which win be entireiy separate
from our regular one, around the holiday
season, but it was found not only inn
practicable but utterly impossible to un-
dertahe so 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. J.. and u. H. Lyons, ofLaurel, Miss,
two young gentlemen who are specialists
in the work, and who come to Bay St.
Louis at our special solicitation. They
win collect and compile the data neces-
sary which viii make this edition worthy
OF life preservation and will attend TO tn
advertising department, II is safe TO
say nothing OF the like has ever been at
tempted in this section. Much history
abounds in Bay st. Louis, its undevelop-
cd resources are wonderful and as q
summer and winter resort it has no
equal. These will be given special at
tention and the city will never have re-
ceiyed 4 better and more representative
advertisement than thisproposed edition
with q circulation up in the thousands.
We propose to give Logtown and Pearl
ington as we'll as Waveland an opportu-
nifty To be represented In this edition.

WOMEN COLLECTORS
Jackson fIcFcliants Adopt n New
system.

Woman bill collectors are now quite
the fad with Jackson merchants.
During the past few months there has
beon an astonishing increase Of the wo-
men who make the regular monty tours
collecting accounts Tor the Jackson mer-
chants and business men, and II is the
general verdict that they arc far more
successful than tho male collectors.
This Is especially true when accounts
arc presented tomnle customers. Among
their sex the women collectors arc not 80
successful, form woman don't mini ma
king excuses to one of hcr own gender,
but man has adecided aversion to tel
ling the lady collector to "come around
next week" and they invariably dig up
the cash when billi presented jack

LEGAL nANdlNns IN MISSISSIPPI.

The following editorial is from tn,
South-hating Chicago Tribune, of the
26th, instant:
Mississippi quite distinguished itselt
last year by greatly increasing the nun
Der OF its legal executions of criminals
and proportionately decreasing the num-
ber of its lynchings. In 1902 twenty six
negroes were hanged who, because they
were negroes, would have been lynched
few years ago. 1t is only within the
last two years that the authorities in
that State have cared TO take the, trou-
BILE Of trying, convicting and hanging
negroes,
Having accomplished so much in 1902
the authorities evidently propose to con-
tinue the work in 1903. Since Jan. five
negro murderers have seen convicted and
sentenced tobehanged. The evidence OF
guilt was clear each case, and there were
no mitigating circumstances. The Gov
ernor has refused to interfere with any
OF the sentences, and all five will be
hanged in various parts OF the State on
the same day, Feb. i8. It is said it is
the first time IN the history Of the State
that the Supreme Court has affirmed
such large number Of death sentences
on one day
There is good reason TO congratulate

LOUISE.

Could I but tell the sweetness of thy
name
In words that would teyet me brilliant
fame,
There would still be volume left untold
WHO can tell the sweetness OF the flow
er's heart
But the bee, and we can't understand his
art,
OF speech, that's slipped from Natures
soul.
But will try to tell thee, baby friend,
And If there's not success for me in end,
'Tis because my poor pen cannot trace,
Nor lind the words that echo from a soul
Words left even by the gods untold,
For want Of thatinfinite, expressing grace
Louisel 'Tis like unto the petaled fIow-
ers,
In sweet repose within enchanted bow
ers;
Waiting its sweetness upon aquiet air,
Where tired bee would fain rest its
wings
And listen as some praising warbler
sings
To thee, 80 softly sweet, SO wondrous
fairl
Louisel 'Tis like unto some music 3 strain,
So soft and low, to echo back again
Into the depths Of some yearning soul
A note that trembles as through air,
Reverberating in it's splendor there
AS though it found it's paradise it's

Washington, Jan. 14.-After mature
consideration, it has been decided by
the president that Judge Taft shall
remain IN the Philippines as civil gov

after the president had the
Philippine question thoroughly with
Secretary Root and the other members
Of his cabinet, and with Vice Governor
Luke +. Wright, who has been in this
country for two months. For several
weeks it has been regarded us settled
that Gov. Taft would return to this
country, perhaps in a few months, to
become a justice of the United States
supreme court. President Roosevelt
indicated to Gov. Taft in letter dis
patched to the Philippines more than
q month ago that he could have the
appointment to the supreme bench If
be desired it. 1t was the presidents

Damage by High Winds.

winds which have been blowing for
three days have completely wrecked
the summer cottages district in the
park. All the cottages were vacant, and
this alone prevented loss OF life. Build

of the park. being more substantial, res
sisted the force of the wind to a great
extent, although many OF these were
damaged more or less. Large trees
were taken up by the roots or broken
on above the ground and blown great
distance. It is impossible to estimate
the damage done, bnt it will probably
reach up into the thousands. The dam

were blown down, and to outbuildings,
which were leyeled to the ground.
