The DEMoCRAT-STAR respectful,
calls the attention OF the ladies O
: the Port OF Pascagoula TO the articl,
appearing on the tlrst page OF thi,
issue written by Miss Lucille Webt
Banks The article is 50 beautiful,
r written that the mere reading OF IT Il
4 la personal pleasure, and the p0ten
!. tialities Of the several suggestions
therein contained are OF such al
Enthusiastically desirable possibilit!
E that the veriest pessimist must hld'
: his or her head in shame, and, per
Q naps unconsciously, be absorbed b.
/ that vast majority that comprises TIN
: believers In aud workers for the com
o munity wealth. While this timel,
e article may appear comprehensive II
detail, as a matter Of fact the sur
face has been merely but scratched
and much more remains to be said
= Tue ladies Of the port, and when
loyal Pascavnulii IN is the speaker, tina
term means only and always the twil
cities Of Moss Point and Pascagoula
are requested to seriously conside
the suggestion and TO notify the sec
rotary OF the Commercial Club q
their willingness, desire and iuten
tion OF taking up the matter for
thorough understanding, looking t
the future identifying Of the con
nudity In which we live.
Miss Banks, after making an elt
Quent appeal for the organization q
acivic Improvement club, proceeds I
particularize the work that could b
done by such a club: the beautifyin
OF the beach front Of Pascagouli
where nature lends her aid 10 LAWS
generosity, but man has been guilt
| OF neglect in preservation and cult
| walton OF its beauties; a water.sid
L drive would be a great addition, ii
H writer says. A small park could
II laid out north OF the street railwa
ii station, and the railroad and II
II street railroad companies should
II induced to beautify II. This is
Il liue with the suggestion OF The Re
III lister that the railroad cnmpar
III should beautify the grounds at Bilox
II In fact, the railroad company, recei
II ing large patronage, owes debt
> the people OF all the towns on u
coast, and might very well show |
appreciation by making the surroun
'ings OF the station more pleasing
