A FORTHCOMING EVENT OF UNUSUAL IN
TEREST.

The Carnival of Commerce, or Trades
Extravaganza, under the auspices of the
Kings Daughters, of Bay st. Louis, TO
be presented in this city on Friday
night, April 5th, at the Osoinach Opera
House, gives much promise of success,
and it is certain that no one alive to the
doings of Bay ST. Louis and desirous Of
keeping abreast with what is going on
can afford to miss this novel and inter-
esting form of entertaining. Legiti-
mate advertising is the life-blood of
business, and this splendid medium of
advertising seems to have proven at
tractive and will prove profitable, be-
sides affording theatrical entertain
ment worthy of ones time and of the
price of admission that will be charged.
The entertainment will consist of plays,
tableaux, marches, songs and dialogues,
appropriate to each business house to be
represented.
Mrs. E. T. Hollibaugh and Mrs. M. E.
McElroy are enthused in their work
and are being spurred to greater efforts
than exercised elsewhere by the encour-
agement their work is meeting with.
They intend getting out their street
advertising during the coming week,
and in it's next issue The Echo will give
more details and list of those business
people who will be represented in the
progressive and unique enterprise.

A HINT FOR HANCOCK COUNTY.
Sentiment for Road Building by Contract Grew
ing Apace.

In line with the growing sentiment
and desire, or demand, for better high
roads, the County of Grenada is taking
steps to outgrow the time-honored over
seer system, says press telegram from
Jackson. The board of supervisors of
that county have decided to work the
roads by contract, decision which was
forced upon the board by numerous pc
titions calling attention to the intolera-
BILE condition Of the roads in many Sec
tions of that county. Similar steps are
being taken, or are contemplated, in
other counties, and it will not be long
before the balance, as between the old,
and the contract, plan, will be long on
the contract side, and such it evidently
should be.

"Why is it that nearly everybody who
attends church likes to sit in the end OF
a seat and hold onto it like grim death,
and every person who gets berth in
that pew must stumble oyer them ?''
Well, we confess we do that sort of
thing. 1t is to get out quickly in case
OF fire-we sinners are quite strongly
reminded of fire, flames and birthstone
that is pursuing us, and we can't tell
just exactly when it is going to come.
We want to be in position to make a
quick get-a- way.

DEATH OF ESTIMABLE LADY AT KILN.

Mrs. Francis Sirola, wife of Captain
J. J. SirJ!a, died at her home Sunday
evening near Jordan River, March II,
1907 at the age of Al years and II
months. The subject of the foregoing
notice has been IN failing health for
some time, but that the end would come
SO soon was not expected; indeed, up to
two or three days prior to her passing
away the hope was indulged by her
kind, loving and devoted husband and
children that she would recover, but,
alas, their cherished hopes and desires
were never to be realized, and today the
form of their loved one is hidden in the
cold embrace of the cruel grave. Death
is always sad, but in such case it is
doubly sad when 8 small children are
deprived of a mother and good, kind,
loving husband bereft of good wife.
Before her marriage Mrs. Sirola was
Miss Haas, and to their union children
were born, 5 sons and daughters, the
youngest an infant daughter 3 months
old. Making no pretension of extreme
piety, the deceased was from birth a
faithful and devoted member of the
Catholic church, and by her it's teach
ings and precepts were accepted with
unquestioning faith. Through her ILL
ness she was cheered by the blessed
promises to those who are followers of
the meek and lowly Nazarene, and in
her death agony, with the crucifix
clasped to her breast, her last breath
was prayer of peaceful resignation to
the will of God.
Auo funoral took place from the fam
lily home Monday afternoon, Rev. Father
Chauvin officiating. The cortege, as it
proceeded to the church, was large. In
terment was in the family cemetery, at
Bayou Coco. The floral offerings, which
were banked about the casket, were
both beautiful and elaborate.
We can not tell who next may fall be-
meath thy chastening rod, Lord; one
must be first. But let us all prepare to
meet our God. Goods finger touched
her, and she slept
She is sleeping, sweetly sleeping
0, bring her no tears! no weeping! =
Leave her to angels keeping g.-She is
sleeping; oh, tread lightly-As the stars
above bend brightly, AS the flower
turf glows brightly;-For our
Father judgeth rightly.-She is sleep
ing, and quiver of the rippling of the
river-Can disturb her slumbers NEVER
Tho it floweth on forever, She is
sleeping, only sleeping,-Rose and ivy
closed lids that know no
Yes, leave her to the angels
keeping.

MISSISSIPPI SATURDAY.

VIII Be Located Near the State Bank Building
Will Appeal Sunday Law Cases.

The lot, owned partially by Capt. J. T
Jones, and located near the State Bank
has been accepted for the government
building. District Attorney Lee has
examined the title to the lot and approved
same, and it only remains for the for

BANKERS AND OTHERS ARE GUILTY
OF the Malpractice Of Sending Away to Strang-
ers For Printing Discriminating Against the
Home Office

The Herald is in toto opposed to peo-
pie living In a community like Yazoo
City sending off their orders to mail or
der department stores for articles that
can be secured cheaper and better at
home. But we must confess that at
times we are little confused when we
see some merchants bankers and others
sending off their orders for stationery
and printing that can be done just as
cheap and as well at home. 1t should be
considered as much the duty Of the mer-
merchants to patrOniZe home enterprises
as for the people to supply all their wants
at home.
The above, from the last issue of the
Yazoo City Herald, is applicable to Bay
St. Louis in the truest sense. Should
We do our banking in New Orleans,
Chicago or New York or in other cities
where the rate OF savings interest is more
advantageous than athome, what howl,
my countrymen! Merchants and others
send away annually hundreds of dollars
for printing at the expense of the local
press that is fighting the mail order bus
;I2U5s t1,l >,.f,. =, os,4 ,.e,~. : -,4.lts44s
and goods bought cheaper out of town
costs doubly than the home product.

The Mississippi Railroad Commission
at Jackson has received kilograms from
the passenger traffic departments of the
Southern Railway, Mobile, Jackson and
Kansas City, Frisco. Mississippi Central
and Louisville and Nashville system
conveying the ultimatum that they will
not obey the two-cent interchangeable
mileage order.
Since written notices were previously
conveyed that the order would be dis
regarded, the commission is at a loss to
understand the meaning of these tele-
grams, unless they are intended to cen
vey the polite intimation that the rail-
roads expect the commission to make the
next move, and that the litigation to be
instituted for the enforcement of the
order and final disposal of the legal
question involved must emanate from the
commission.
If this1s the intention, the commission
will allow the usual lapse of time for
compliance with the order, and if it is
ignored by the roads named the statu-
tory fines will be imposed. 1t seems
hardly probable. however, that the rail
roads really want the commission to in
stitute the litigation, as the attorney
general would, of course, file the suits
in the state courts, whereas the railroads
have always preferred the Federal
Court as their legal battle-ground.
However, as the question is one chief
ly involving the statutory power Of the
it is doubtful whether in
this instance the Federal Court would
take cognizance of a proceeding hostile
to the order. An injunction under the
non resident corporation clause could
not be made applicable to the Missis-
sippi Central, as the lines of that COM
pany are wholly within the state.
Regardless of the preliminaries of the
fight it is certainty that two-cent in
mileage is long way off,
so far as Mississippi is concerned, for
the railroads are determined to carry the
question to the court of last resort.

Mississippi Oysters i'm Abundance.

Reports from the Mississippi Oyster
Commission indicate that the outlook
for the future and for the ability of the
reefs of the state to furnish all the BIZ
valves required is very bright. The net
revenue for January was about $500 in
round numbers, which demonstrates the
fact that, while the oysters were taken
Irom Mississippi waters alone, the supply
was beyound the average, and that with
judicious oversight and careful planting
there may be no fear of the supply in the
future running short.

Consider what the hen does when she
is working, now that.~.he strike season
is on and shc clamors for rations. The
market value of "Biddy" is about so
cents, and the value of her daily pro-
duce 2 cents, or one twenty fifth part of
her own worth. True, sher career is
short, but long enough for her to earn
her value many times over, and that
cannot be said of some in this world
who have great pretensions to useful
ness.

adjustment lies in the hands Of
contendiTk forces - the organiza-
ton of the producing element.
The farmers, the miners, the me-
chanics They are the only Ieglt
innate power on the ether side OF
the balances, and it rests with
them whether they organize and
contend for these rights.
Politicians should begin to learn
thai the entire weight of financial
conditions does not rest upon their
shoulders.
Changing the tariff from the
protective to the revenue basis,
while great and good doctrine, is
much less potent than the power
of the producer concentrated and
used to rectify peculating and
grating schemes.
Above all Providence has a great.
er hand in our prosperity or adj
verses than all the other elements
combined, and no amount of legis-

Therefore let us have constitu
tional laws and those which we can
enforce. If not, then don't waste
time and money undertaking to
establish useless and inconsistent
legislation.
