| PLEA FOR THE BEACH.
To the lover OF nature who walks
along the storm-damaged beach, the
wonder arises why, 10 years gone by,
the city fathers and property holders
failed to unite and devise some way
TO save from relentless winds and
restless waves the lovely bay shore
which then was the glory OF the city
with It's lovely driveway and the
magnificent trees which, for centuries,
had withstOod the waves, resisted
winds, to shade the water line and
made Of II one Of the prettiest strands
TO be found In America.

Is II not yet possible for the ladies
0f Pascagoula to make a successful
effort 10 save TO future generations
some OF the natural beauty Of the
beach. that yet survives?
Cannot something be done to save
some OF the grand oaks still standing,

their long branches. above cruelty ex'
