CELEBRATION.

The big Fourth of July celebration
given last Friday by the Firemen o
Scranton Fire Company No. l, was al
unqualified success in every way, ant
the Nations birthday was more
generally celebrated than ever before
in this city. All stores and business
houses were closed the entire day
many Of them, as also some Of the resi-
dences, were decorated with flags and
bunting in honor Of the day.
The celebration began at ten o'clock
in the morning when a large number
Of the returned soldiers and sailors
of Jackson county met at the court
house and under command of Lieute-
nant Ollie Rolls, headed by the Fire
Company Brass Band, paraded the
principal streets to the strain OF mar
tial music.
The parade disbanded in Delmas
avenue, and then it was how many
could get to the Beach Park, and how
quick. The street cars were running
from Moss Point to the railroad sta
ton in Pascagoula, and they brought
load after load down of Moss Point,
Escatawpa and Eastside citizens eager
to reach the park to enjoy the gulf
breezes and the many attractions
offered by the fire boys. No street
cars ran to the beach, but hundreds of
autos were allowed to run as jitneys,
and they did a land Office business
until late in the night. The soldiers
and sailors were served free dinners
by a committe of ladies', having pre-
viously been given tickets that we're
good for admission into the park and
to the base ball games.
AT the park various kind OF amun
ments were offered to the public ~hu
the various concessions were s'alroh-
lied literally, There was no hNea
progrm Everybody vas expected
TO do as he pie" .,ed and to have a good
time. Two bands furnished the music,
dancing oeing kept up at the pavilion
until tate at night, The athletic
events, for which prizes were offered
by tne merchants, had to be omitted.
Trey put off until six O'clock on ac-
count Of the heat of the sun, and about
that hour came the usual Fourth of
July rain and interfered. The firemen
plan repetition of the picnic on
July II, when the athletic
events will be held.
There was game of ball in the
afternoon between the Pascagoula and
I\reOie teams, resulting in score oil
