Part of Hancock County.
SOME INTERESTING EXHIBITS.

The first Community Fair held in
Hancock county was at Aaron Acade-
my on Friday, September 9th.
The interest shown by the people
of that community is not often found.
They are thrifty and aware of any
thing that lends to the education and
industrial development of their peo-
pie.
On arriving at the school house we
found seveny-five or eighty men wo
men and children-and they just
kept coming in with exhibits from
their farms.
Through the cooperation of the
Dead Tiger school teacher, Miss Hit,
| and the teachers of Aaron Academy,
the school house was decorated with
vines, pretty autumn branches and
Liberty bond posters. The spirit of
the day was manifested in the atti-
tude displayed by the people.
Through the activity of the club
members great interest has been
created in the community alonf avri-
cultural and live stock lines. By
the wonderful record made by the
club boys, their fathers and others
have become so interested that orders
have been placed for at least. doz-

well along other lines.
The exhibits displayed by Messrs.
Thigpen, Keller, Mccarthy, Club boys

DEATH OF HENRY l.. LICHTEN.
STEIN.
Son Of MIR. and Mrs. ]. nj. Liehten-
stein, Summer Residents, Passed
Away at the Family Home
In New Orleans, Wed
nesday Afternoon.

That death loves a shining mark has
again been exemplified, for on We'd
nesday afternoon, October 2, 1913
at 2:15 o'clock, there passed away
from earth Henry ]. Lichtenstein;
Lichtenstein, native of New Or
leans, aged 10 years, the transition
from life to death occurring at the
family home at No. 4217 st. Charles
avenue, New Orleans. resulting from
double pneumonia.
The news of the demise of this
excellent young gentleman was re-
ceived in Bay ST. Louis with pro-
found sorrow and the deepest SYM
pathy of the many friends of Mr..
and Mrs. Leichtenstein is extended
them in their bereavement.
Henry Lichtenstein was a young
man of unusually fine character; en-
dowed with many attributes that go
to make Gods noblemen, and he was
most loved by those who knew him
best. He was indeed most devoted
son; he loved and revered mother
and father; and sister never had
a brother more worthy upon whom
had reached scholarly attainment.
Henry Lichtenstein had all to live
for. No young man had a more rose
ate future. He was we'll schooled and
had reached scholarly teeainment.
Last year he had taken the pre-medi-
cal course and was preparing to en-
ter upon the active studies of physic-
ian and surgeon:
He made good in every effort, and
he was about to reap the crowning
success of his work. His demise is
indeed an occasion for much sor-
row. but the memory of such a sterl-
ing young man cannot die, but will
live on forever in the minds and
hearts of all who knew him.

DEMISE OF WELL-KNOWN CITI-
ZEN.
P. Pembroke Davis, Well-Known
and Lang Resident of This City
Died at the Family Home
Thursday Night.

The Echo chronicles with deep re-
gret the death of that excellent and
| well-known citizen of Bay ST. Louis,
P. Penn. Davis, who died at the fami-
ly home in Carroll avenue Thursday
night at 9:45 o'clock, surrounded by
his loved ones.

the end came at the hour above stat
ed.
The funeral took place Friday af-
ternoon, the remains followed to
their last resting place in Cedar Rest

sorrowing friends and acquaintances.
Mr.. Davis came to Bay st. Louis

years ago and ever since made this
city his home. He is survived by his
widow, Mrs. Edith Davis, five sons
and three daughters, one of the
daughters religieuse in the order
of st. Joseph; one son in the service
of his country.
The death Of such good citizen

brings much sorrow, for he was al
ways identified with every movement
that was halculated for the advance
ment and growth of the city and
county. During his life he held seve-
raj positions of trust, and was honor
ed on one occasion with the appoint
Iment which made him city auditor and
secretary. He was student of public
affairs; a reader of newspapers and
interpreted the news not only intel

opinions on public matters always
carried weight. In the death of Mr..
Davis the city of Bay st. Louis and

First Liberty Loan Letter
To all Red Cross Juniors
America is tfhting for Democracy. The
people have dedicated their lives and their
fortunes in this underta king, and every
patriotic girl and boy is ready to help
the Government get the things it needs
to win the war: men. money anu supplies.
The Government must have a great deal
of money to prosecute the war. For its
expenses, June 1917 1918. it has already
appropriated over twenty-four billion dol
lars. That is such a lot of money that no
one can Imagine how much 1t Is. II may
help you to understand it better if yeu
knew that from the time OF the Revolution
down TO the present war, during nearly
one hundred and thirty years, the Gov
ernment has spent only little over even
! ty-six billion dollars. Yet we are now go
| ing to spend twenty-four billion in one
year to carry on the war.
In peace times the Government spends
about one billion dollars year. 1t gets
this money back by taxing the people.
That means that every one In the country
gives a part of his income OF wages TO
| the Government. This year the Government
needs twenty four times as much money
as ii usually gets from taxes There are
| two ways in which it can get this extra
money; ID by extra taxes, 90 by Liberty
/ Loans. In the first case the people VINO
are living now would give tnesoyerhmeHt

did year before last. You see that many
people would not have enough money t.

Honorable Sir
Your letter of September 21st,
with check for the Ball and Bat Fund
has been received, also list of bar
bers, for which you have our thanks.
Ire writer once upon q time made
his summer home in Bay st. Louis
and did so for eleven years and have
travelled all over the United States
and Canada and up to the present
time ] have been unable to find as
delightful place as your beautiful
little city.
/ have looked all over the names
of your officers and aldermen and
don't find one name in the lot that
] recognize. Of course it has been a
long time since resided in Bay st.
Louis. My next door neighbor was
Sheriff Butler, of New Orleans, and
down the street little further was
Louis Leonard and Adolph Anderson
of New Orlenas. / lived with my
mother-in-law, Mrs. L. M. Adams,
and the mayor of the, city of Bay st.
Louis in my days kept hotel and
his name was Mr.. Toulfne.
| know of no city that has a more
beautiful drive than Bay st. Louis.
My recollections are that it was about
eleven miles long running down to
Waveland and away up the bay, | had
my horses and boats, intact, | had
everything that was necessary to
make things delightful. Not that /
haven't them still, but you seemed to
enjoy things great deal better in
the days, / speak of than you do now
used to go up the Wolf river for
miles and | could have bought all the
land in the neighborhood for dollar
or two an acre. / presume it is worth
it's weight in gold now.
| would go out in front of my
house and take my net, which was
about hundred feet long, and with
one round up l could get enough
fish to supply the whole neighborhood.
| could sit on my wharf and catch
enough crabs to last me a week in
two or three hours and from the
wharf. When / wanted to use my fish
ing lines could catch speckled trout,
crokers and other fish without num-
ber. Everyday the oyster wagon
would drive up to my front door and
| could get the oysters wanted open
ed right on there and then at fifteen
cents a hundred. Oh, for those good
old times once again!
To make long story short the next
time l go south am going to pay
visit to Bay st. Louis with a view
of again taking my summer home up
there and it will be my pleasure to
call upon you when do.
believe that with a little hustl-
ing and printers ink you could make
Bay st. Louis famous. AS / have
said before there isn't another city

tribution, am
