"WON'T TECH EN-"

A queer instance of negro superstition
has been brought to light oyer on Far
ish street at the site where the Jackson
Benevolent Hall was burned to the
ground last October.
Just adjoining the main structure was
an undertaking establishment owned by
company of negroes. The building
was almost destroyed, but some of the
stock escaped total destruction, among
other articles being large number of
coffins which were badly charred, but
not wholly destroyed.
The average negro is an inveterate
hunter for firewood, and will resort to
almost any means to get fuel without
buying it, but that pile of half-burned
coffins, although it has been of easy ac-
cess for six months, has not been mo-
Tested; and not negro in the ward
could be persuaded under any circum-
stances to use them for fuel.
Several efforts have been made to get
negroes living in the vicinity to carry
away the burned coffins, but in every
instance they refuse to touch them.
Even during the coldest weather of the
winter, when fire wood was mighty
scarce in the fourth ward, not splinter
of those "wooden oyercoats" was car
ried away. Jack Williams tried to get
an old black nanny who has been an
object of charity for several years to
carry them away, but she declared, "Fc

Wagon loads, thousands of barrels OF
oyster shells go through Bay st. Louis
along Front street daily to Waveland
where the officials of that progressive
town are spreading them upon the
streets. The hauling is over long way,
and expensive, too, but the problem
of cheaper transportation does not
seem to present itself. Yet the expense
is not without a redeeming feature. the
hauling, carried only by home people, is
medium through which the tax money
reverts back to them. The cost of haul
ing is cents per barrel. and the cost Of
shells 8 cents, a total of 10 cents pei

STAND up FOR YOUR TOWN.
Some Sensible Advice To Citizens
and Business Men.

The following good and timely advice
on how to build up your own town is
taken from the Rice Belt Journal, pub
| lished in louisiana
| 1t is not the site of a town, but its
character that makes it desirable place
to live in. A live, prosperous town is q
desirable one, and town may live and
prosper, and yet be small. Every citi-
zen in town should be interested in its
prosperity. One of the ways to help
town is to speak well of it. 1t is true
patriotism to stand by your own town
and interests as well.
Another way to help your town is to
do all you can to beauti1y it. Beautify
your own property all you can, then do
all you can to beautify your streets. Be
friendly with everybody and courteous
to strangers. Your civility will help to
make good impressions and will be car
ried away and cherished. Never forget
you are part of the town and that your
own department helps to make up the
strangers estimation of the place. Sell
all you eau and buy all you can at home.
Every dollar that is sent or carried away
from home makes it that much poorer.
If you have the means, invest in some
thing that will give others employment.
Do not kick at a proposed improvement
simply because it is not at your door.
A town that is always improving is
always spreading itself out. II rich
man starts project, encourage him.
Don't be afraid to thrust your hand in
your pocket and help a public enter
prise. More towns have been ruined by
such refusals than other ways. The
citizens of any prosperous town are
always public-spirited and united.
Stand together, work together for the
interests of the whole town.
Always stand ready to do your part.
Don't grumble and spend your time in
prophesying failures, but help to make
every enterprise a success, be it great or
small. Be energetic and enterprising,
and your example will be initiated.

good humor.- No prop to trouble has
yet been discovered the equal in strength
of good nature. 1t is just as much an
obligation Of men to fight against de-
preston as 1t is to say they will die be-
fore they will submit to oppression.
They begin at the wrong place with their
heroics, Good humor is the safety
valve. 1t provides way for unneces-
sary and harmful steam, which, con-
fined, may result in ruinous explosion.
Good humor dwells in the house of COM

1t is not surprising that the handful OF
New Orleans people who make Pass
Christian their camping ground during
the heated term would dare sacrifice the
stability and future of the Pass as self
supporting community since they are
not dependent upon the prosperity OF
the town for individual success upon
which depends their means OF lveli-
hood. The history of every seacoast
town for the past fifty years or more has
shown that solely as summer resort
these communities have not moved one
step forward, but if anything fell the
victim of retrogression, Mississippi City
standing as a shining example. But
show us where a Coast town has en-
couraged and built manufacturing in
dustries, broadened agricultural pur-
suits to higher commercial basis, es-
tablished vast mercantile enterprises,
banking and other institutions, corpora
tions for the development of the timber
and kindred resources of the territory,
ETC., and not catered particularly to the
festive summer resorter, and we will
show you town that is heading in the
right direction. Pascagoula, Biloxi,
Gulfport and Bay st. Louis support this
argument. We congratulate the Board
of Mayor and Aldermen of Pass Chris
tian upon it's correct stand and the firm
ness thereof, and we have nothing but
bitter contempt for the official who fawns
to this migratory colony of alienists, and
opposes progressive measure appre-
hensive that should he favor it his New
Orleans patrons would neither buy ice
or groceries from MIN during the season.
Such an official should have some con-
sideration for others and return the COM
mission he holds to the constituency
which has SO unfortunately been de-
ceiYed.

the assertion that no Coast town car

One of the most amusing incidents of
the electric road meeting here Tuesday
night was on Commodore Larry O'Don-
nell. The commodore was endeavoring
to dissect the ordinances granting the
electric road people the right to use the
Front street in the most genteel man
ner. He labored hard in his elegant
style to show the ordinance was defec-
tive and many of its clauses very objec-
tionable, and was just hashing what he
thought was the ordinance, when Alder
man A. S. Mcdonald arose and asked
the speaker s'if he had ever read the
ordinance?'' to which the commodore
candidly replied that he had not, and
the laugh was on Larry Pass Christ
ian Beacon.

FATHER JOGUES,
Interesting Lecture by Rev. J..
J. Campbell Last Night at
St. Peters Hall.

a very large audience enjoyed the lee
ture on Rev. Father Isaac Jogues By the
Rev. T. ]. Campbell. S. J., at st. Peters
Hall last night. He graphically pictur-
ed the labois of the great missionary
among the Indians in what is now New
York State and Canada at time when
a white mans life was in constant dan
ger
The speaker pictured Father Jogues as
the most daring and intrepid among all
the heroic band of missionaries in that
period Of the history of America. He
described the tortures which Father
Jogues underwent when brought down
from Quebec as a prisoner to the village
of the ATohawks near Fort Orange, now
Albany; of his subsequent mission as an
envoy Of peace in June, 1916, and later
of his becoming the apostle to the fercest
of the Iroquois to be put to death BY
that tribe in hatred of his faith.
The eloquent speaker recited the fact
Of the purchase by the Society of Jesus
Of the scene of Father Jogues's tortures
and martyrdom and the erection Of a
memorial thereon which has since be
come a place Of pilgrimage.
Father Campbell said that il was now
proposed to erect a permanent chapel
there, instead Of the present temporary
one. He said It was also proposed to
erect statue to Father Jogues.
The proceeds Of Father CampIbell's
lecture, which were about $400, will go
toward the erection of the chapel.
