''BAY St. LOUIS
THE DRAWING ROOM
Of THE SOUTH. y
Former Resident of This
City, Now Residing West,
Writes Beautifully a n d
Paws Tribute to this God
Favored Country.

From a recent letter received by the
publisher of The Echo from Mrs. B. F.
Tyler, of Muskogee, Oklahoma, former
well-known and most estimable resident
of Bay ST. Louis, we take the liberty
of publishing the following excerpt
therefrom-a verita BILE prose poem, and
showing the loyalty of a former resi-
dent and as compliment to beautiful
Bay st. Louis:
nNo matter how far from Bay ST.
Louis Fate may lead us no other city
can ever be fhome' to me. and each of
her prosperities and calamities will ever
be properties and calmaties of mine.
Civic pride and financial interest make
it my duty to first boost this Western
city, where every one seems wishing to
make fortune over night, Coil, coal
and natural gas), yet l never lei slip
chance to portray the easier. restful
life in that most cordial land of plenty.
"Last June correspondent, who had
never been on the Mississippi coast,
wrote me, My physician has ordered
me to the seashore. For a moderate
priced resort where would you go?' To
which replied.
First, last and always, would go
to my beloved Bay ST. Louis-the draw
ing room of the Sunny South, where
the whole people are the cordial host,
where huge shade trees sing out 'Wel-
come!' and cool neoks whisper Gone
rest with me;' where the daily plunge
in the briny deep refreshens like rare,
old wine and silvered fish shy round
the hook as skittish fawn SHES
around its pen; where the morning sun
showers the Gulf with quivering mass
of diamonds and guardian angels speak
to the soul of the peace and rest of
heaven; where the white seagull floats
o'er the waves as pure soul floats cut
to God and white sail boats diff from
view as a little babe drifts to sleep;
where the twilight falls on the villages
hush softly as comes dream of heav-
en- and the sea breezes watts the cares
of heaven into the arms of sweet obi
vion.' -
Another excerpt from letter of diff
ferent date from the same writer is in
teresting: "I've often thought of writ
ing The Echo of the enormous amount
of printers ink that is used here and
the more than enormous amount of pro-
ftable returns it has brought back.
These keen Northerners md Western
ers never allow their ginger is cool no
matter how tired and exhausted they be.
When they sight Northern capitalist
they go after him and keep after him
until they land him and another facto-
ry here. The artful way in which they
lead the less progressive citizens into
the ginger squad and into helping to
foot the enormous expense of advertis-
ing Muskogee is an inspiration to me.
= The local merchants here, too,
do far more advertising than those in
New Orleans-a city about one hundred
years old. Muskogee is only eight years
old and has thirty five thousand inhab-
itants."
1t strikes us, thinking Of Bay St.
Louis, that a hint to the wise is suffi-
cient.

CONFEDERATE REUNION
| TO EFFACE PREJUDICES
Adjt. Gen. Mickle Says Gathering Here
Next May Will Wipe Out Last
Vestise Of Il Feeling.

letter received by the three local
trade bodies from Adjt Gen. William E.
Mickle. chief Of STAN Of the United Con-
foderate Veterans, indicated clearly tha:
the Confederate reunion to be held in
Washington next May will wipe out the
last vestige OF iil-feeling between the
North and South. Gen. Mickle's letter,
copies of which were received by the
Chamber of Commerce, Board OF Trade
and Retail Merchants Association, con-
tained the following paragraph:
In addition to the fact that those who
fought so calamity against the nag in
the SOS are the guests of those against
whom they fought. they now recognize IL
as their flag and are ready to do and die
for II as they were for the Stars and Bars
in the distant past. We are one people
with one flag and one aim. Let the world
know this"
Gen. Mickle's letter was formal ac-
ceptation of the invitation extended to
the veterans by the local trade bodies to
meet In Washington. It is probable that
the trade bodies and all local organlza-
tons OF Southerners interested in the re-
union will meet jointly in the near future
and organize a citizens executive com.
mittee to handle the reunion
1t is estimated that approximately 100 =
ooo visitors will be In Washington during
the reunion.
