Two rather serious errors crept into
the article of two weeks since on Pas
cagoula harbor. The most serious was
the amount named as having been ex-
pended on another harbor and which
would have given Pascagoula a uniform
deptA of thirty-six feet. Instead Of one
and a half million dollars, the amount
should have been five and q half mil
lion The error was made in copying
after the article had been written. The
other was with reference to the depth
of water across the bar between Horn
and Petit Bots islands. The dredged
channel is not less thar twenty-five feet

the channel when sounding of nineteen
feet was made. These errors are cor

of PasoagOula who have already a splen-
did harbor and one that can be made
the equal if not superior of any on the
Gulf coast of the United States.

cotton for the season so far. C. f..

one bale. Fifty-two bales brought "a
cents per pound and the short staple
bale brought 10 lie cents. Mr.. Stubble-
field reports his crop this year as good,
and judging from the price received, he
is making money raising cotton. Then,
too, Yazoo City is a splendid long sta
pie market every year.
It will be necessary for the publish

most everything else, the price of print
ing material, labor, paper, etc., has
shown a remarkable increase during the
past few years and the price of sub
scription has remained the same. 1t
costs fully forty per cent. more to pro-
duce a dollar weekly now than it did
six years ago.. The publisher will be
driven to a raise in the price of sub
