ANONYMOUS LETTER SENT.

Biloxi, May 20.-That the person OF
persons who have been knocking
Biloxi by means of anonymous letters
may be made the subject of an official
investigation is the statement that
was given out by Mayor Edward
Glennan this morning.
Mayor Glennan and other public of
ficials were inclined to treat the let
ters sent to DR.. Willis Valley lightly
until publicity was given to them
Mayor Glennan stated this morning,
however, that in view of the fact
that this had been done, he thought
that there should be some official &C
ton in the matter.
Mayor Glennan regards the writer
of the Anonymous letters as a crank,
but, nevertheless, he is of the opinion
that some steps should be taken to
curb the work of the person or per.
sons responsible for the work.

from someone living in Biloxi, and
which did not contain the signature
of the writer, but was signed Biloxi.
The letter, which consisted of five
or six pages written with a pencil,
proceeded to scathingly rebuke the
citizens of Biloxi particularly the pub
lie officials of this city, and was so
far from accurate as to be laughable.

The position offered him in Gin

not bear to give it up. Campbell
wrote letters, pleading with her TO

last letter she announced he would
not hear from her again, and she
kept her word, in spite of his plead

had prepared a nice little home. Ever
since then he has been trying to To-

Campbell telegraphed to his broth

in getting a letter aboard a ship head

The mother in such families is good woman, she is engaged in the work of her household from early morn ing until late at night, her labors prevent her from enjoying many min utes of repose, her tasks are as bur densome as woman can we'll bear, yet through all the discourag ging drudg- cry of her lot she preserves her faith in God, maintains her honesty, perse- veres in her industry and in the face of all her Announcement is glorious in her nobility of true womanhood. Do you feel that it is fair to such a woman to have her family, fre- quently a large and noisy one, forced upon her for attention and enter tainment during the evening, or would she be better pleased and wouldn't her mind be more at ease if she could know that her boys were in some place of, good moral tone, where they were being amused and taught something of value to them.
 Does it not seem to you that her burden would be frightened, and if 1t happened that of an evening she had a spare hour feeling that her chill dren were safe, she could improve such time fully and to her own ad- vantage.
 Many of the boys we come into close contact with are worthy of all the assistance we can give them on the uphill road to manhood, and at best we cannot overlook the fact that a boy of today will have in his hands the reins of power tomorrow.
