LAST OF THE pASCAGOULAS
An Indian Legend From the Shores
of the Gulf of Mexico.

An Indian Legend From the Shores
of the Gulf of Mexico.
From the New York Evening Post.
An Indian legend of the Pascagou-
las is told by the fishermen and oys-
termen down on the shores of the
Gulf of Mexico
You know dem Pascagoul?" asks
Francois. You wait, 1 tell heem
YOU" and You know a da Pasca-
gouIa?" asks Costello. ''You hear a
da music, si?"
A point reaches out into the gulf
near the mouth of the Pascagoula
river. The pine trees on it come al
most to the waters edge, and be-
tween lies a strip of white sand.
Across marsh, a border of light
green swaying and rustling grasses,
and beyond a gray cypress swamp,
the hanging moss of the trees sway
ing in the wind. To the south the
blue waters of the gulf stretch away,
with little waves tapping on the
chalk-white clam shells of the shore.
There in the evening, during the
short twilight, one hears soft music,
as if it were the notes Of violin,
insstent, changing, sweet. 1t is the
song Of the PascagOulas,
Long years before the PascagOula
Indians had lived upon this point
the white men, the Spaniards, came
in numbers, and with them the hos
tile warriors of other tribes, to make
war and to drive the Pascagoulas out
of the country. Coming from the
inland the enemy took away all
chance Of flight, and hedged them in
on the point. The PascagOulas
fought for days and nights in the
dark pine woods against numbers
that they could not overcome, and
starvation stared them in the face
The PascagOulas called a council
Of the tribe and talked long togeth-
Ter. To give themselves up meant
lives of slavery or death, and to
fight to the last man was to leave
the women and children to the mer-
cy of the white men and their allies.
The next morning the PascagOu-
las put on all their paint and trap
pings and burned their wigwams.
The men, women and children slow
ly, deliberately, unfinchingly backed,
step by step, into the waters
behind them, singing. Not one fall
tered. They died with their faces
toward their enemies, bravely and
free, and now in the evening when
the wind blows over the marshes the
pines and grasses sing the song of
the Pascagoulas.

The Mails.

The past week has shown no i'm
prOvemert in our mail service. 1t is
struggling along, days behind the old
service by team, part coming by rail,
and part by land from Compass Lake
to Bay Head.
No one connected with the Post
Office Department seems to be in
terested in having the railroad take
all the mail all the way through, or
reinstating the old service by way of
Chipley and Bay Head. They at
tempt to shift the responsibility of
the delay on to the railroad, but as
it lay in their power TO force the road
to carry the mail, and is also within
their power to have it sent by the old
route, no one takes any stock in their
alleged inability to effect an improve
ment, if they desired to.
The local service is also completely
demOralized, and no dependence can
be placed on getting mail moved
promptly even on the bay. Our We
tappo correspondent mailed US letter
two weeks ago. which should have
reached here within three hours, but
was nearly two weeks on the road.
An important letter from a northern
point just shows up after being two
months on the road. Letters are
being received showing that they have
been at Compass Lake office two and
three different dates, presumably
missent there by some one. News
papers are from one to three days be
hind what they used to be under the
old service, and valuable mail reach
ed here yesterday morning ruined BY
water.
There is probably no section Of the
United States that is treated rs shah

is this region.

a committee of one to confer and or
ganize a body known and incorpO-

citation" that will take charge of the
matter, namely, to secure necessary
subscriptions from each town to build
this canal.
Now these subscriptions are not
necessarily a donation, for the lands
along said proposed canal that Will
be given the corporation, with the
bonuses from the towns, would in
very short time repay all paid out.
Therefore this is not charitable,
but business proposition. But | do
think that if we women would talk
little enthusiasm and act too, we
might through the clubs and the above
plan, donate this canal to the com
merce of our towns and the country
at large But we will not dwell upon
my opinion alone; at our next club
meeting, and if town can't boast of
a club, let a few of the wide awake
ladies meet and organize one to rep
resent their town, lets talk the matter
over, and write to each other; get
together; get to work; save this
waterway from the hands of specula-
tors, and help to awake our long
asleep country, and introduce it to
the world, through tie port of St
Andrews via the East Bay Canal.

1t was to be expected that the Post

blame on some one else. They have

But that the Dothan people in their
endeavor to 'dOwn the railroad"
