THE STOCK ORDINANCE.
Requested to give an expression on
this all-important subject, Supt. Mar
shall said personally, and as a private
citizen OF Bay st Louis, he was strongly
In favor of the proposed measure, and
cited instances where the present nui-
sances placed the public life in constant
jeopardy; that one human life was
worth more than all the live stock in the
city; that 1t was non progressive, un =
slightly and disgusting; that it was a
situation that appealed for action.
And further, Superintendent Marshall
pledged for Bay st. Louis a beautiful
public garden, planted with roses and
choice flowers and shrubbery, sur
rounded by lawns, and laid-out walks
around the depot, If the stock ordinance
would pass and be rigidly enforced.
This he promised and would start the
work early next spring. This is an OBJ
lect OF beauty, an invitation TO the num-
berless passing strangers to come to
Bay st. Louis and must not be lost sight
OF. Such an advertisement would mean
thousands of dollars annually, and
already we see the object reality; for
the stock law is certain, and Supt.
Marshall and the L. & Ms promise are
certain, too.
MIR. Marshall having concluded his re-
marks, which we're well received, let
ter was read by Secretary Rea in which
the club was informed that Congressman
Bowers was unable to be present, as he
had Unexpectedly been called away that
morning to Smith county. The letter
was expressive Of Mr.. Bowers regret at
his inability to be with the Commercial
Club on this occasion. AT the. mention
OF the Congressman's name much ap-
plause followed.
JUDGE LARRY o'DoNNELL,
seated next to Supt. Charles Marshall.
was next called upon, and, taking his cue
from his predecessors address, he said
that while he had not come prepared to
speak, he was appreciative OF the honor,
and would try to merit the compliment.
Judge O'Donnell's address was full of
business, yet chock full OF wit. The
wit was fitting, keen and cut deep in
many places. At present corporation
lawyer, practicing in New Orleans, he
told many of his experiences of the cum
ming of litigants who imagined griev-
ances against railroad companies; of
tricks TO win the sympathy OF juries, ct
cetera. He predicted a
GREAT FUTURE FOR BAY ST. LOUIS,
and said it was left in the hands OF the
citizens of the place to make OF it "big
little city," Nothing was impossible
along the coast country. He said when
the l.. & N. was building between New
Orleans and "the Bay" the croakers
were loud in their denunciation of the
project, predicting disaster; that a road
bed could never be built through ter
ritory of marsh, besides it would ruin
ruin fine hunting ground, but the
opinion of these wise heads did not pre-
vail and the road was built and towns
and cities followed in the wake.
Here was another example OF "Noth-
ing could be accomplished on the Coast. I"
His friend, Captain Jones, came to Gulf
port and made deep water harbor of
importance from sand bar
in front of Gulfport, so long did it ex-
tend out into the sound that boy start
ing from the mainland in making the
trip across this bar on foot would have
grown into manhood when reaching the
farther end. He said he found those
people opposing a stock law and other
were people who never
tried to do ything even for themselves;
they were lazy. shiftless and triling. He
asked one recently; "My good man, do
