A beautiful May pole festival was
danced Saturday afternoon of last
week on the grounds of ST. Joseph's S
Academy, the affair being given un-
der the auspices of the ladies Of ST.
Joseph's Auxiliary, for the benefit of
the building fund of the convent.
There was a splendid attendance,
a tribute to the popularity of the or
ganization under which the affair was
given and of the cause as well, and
all who attended were duly rewarded
for their presence.
The dancers were in costume and
combined with their graceful move
ments and youthful beauty the COM
| bination was very beautiful.
The feature of the evening was the
crOwning of the queen, and the May
pole dance, which was danced by six
teen of the bright pupils of ST. Jo-
seph's Academy. Several selections
were rendered by the st. Stanislaus
College Band, and the song by the
children, Hail, Thee, Our Beautiful
Queen" was sung when the queen
and her court proceeded to the throne
which formed beautiful scene, with
the numerous little flower girls, fol
lowed by the maids in waiting to the
queen with their white trains from
the shoulders and arm bouquets of
| flowers.
These were Misses Cora Gray and
Evelyn Bob, Beatrice Smith and Ger
aldine Calhoun, Aline Lecia and
Jaunita Beningo.
Maid of Honor-Isabel Combe.
Growing of the Queen-By Vir-
ginia Brittenham.
The crown was carried by little
Myrle Kergosien, the sceptre by
Master Jules Menou. The queens
train was carried by little Luraine
Quintino and Tessey Menou.
The queen, Leonore Gilbert, daugh-
ter of Mr.. and Mrs. o. J. Gilbert,
looked lovely on her throne and bore
her honors well and in every way the
affair was success, socially and
financially, with the help of the Sis
terS.
1t is understood the handsome
sum of $235.O0 was realized, which
was far beyond the most sanguine
expectation. The money will be ap-
propriated to a fund known as the
building fund, not for additional
buildings on the convent grounds, but
to ameliorate, to take care of those
already there in need of considerable
attention.

his brother lawyers and of laymen
Later he practiced in New Orleans
where he took high rank at that bar,
and still later located at GulfpOrt
where he has been practicing for q
number of years. He is recognized
as one of the ablest lawyers at the
bar, as a man of exceptionally high
character. with the courage of his
convictions. He has presided oyer
several terms of court as special
Judge and those who practiced before
him do not hesitate to express the
opinion that as a presiding officer he
had few superiors. Indeed, the late
J. /. Ford, who was one of the leading
lawyers at this bar, said of Judge
Dodds that he had never practiceC
before any Judge who presided with
more dignity and fairness or who dis
posed of business with more dispatch
than did Judge Dodds. He was
prompt ana nfm IN MS fullnS dnO
always treated the attorneys at the
bar with co lrtesy and respect and
thereby received the respect of the
attorneys without demanding it.
His supporters among the lawyers
of whom he has a great number, are
emphatic in their views to the effect
that if elected he will give to the dis
trict an administration which viii
rank favorably with that of the very
best judges the district has ever
had.
His candidacy is commended to the
people of this district.

Prominent visitors from Gulfport,
representing the Kiwanis Club OF that
city, were entertained by Bay City
business representatives Thursday
night at the auditorium Of the Bay
Waveland Club, through the courtesy
of that organization. The purpose
of the visitors of the Gulfportians
was to tell the Bay st. Louisians all
about the Kiwanis Club. What 1T
stands for, what it is accomplishing
and what it means. There was in
deed much to tell, and it was plain
that an organization of that kind in
Bay st. Louis would not only find
much room for its activities but
would accomplish much. In fact, it
appears to be a long-felt want, and
the hope is here expressed that it will
be filled.
The Gulfport party was made up
of Hon. J. l.. Taylor, president;
George F.. McCaskey, secretary, and
r. l.. Aubert, George Poole and Sid
nev Prague. all -blooded Kiwan-
ians. Each gentleman, on invitation,
addressed the meeting and each had
an interesting and inspiring message.
George +. Rea was chairman of the
meeting and John Osoinach secre-
tarv. two interchangeable workers for
Bay St. cLonis first, last and all the
time.
The Kiwanis Club is strictly civic
organization, with big social side
to it. Two representatives from
every line of business is represented
in the organization. There is no
limit for its scope of work. The
meetings are not held at night, but
once a week-from 1905 to LOS on
the occasion of luncheon.
In Bay st. Louis it was stated that
the luncheon could be held at diff
ferent place every week. At res
taurant, hotel and so on. While at
table the dlffefenL matters are plo-
posed and adopted and the secretary
works the suggestions and adoptions
out later.
The meeting adjourned to next
Tuesday night at the same place,
when and where it is expected rep
resentatives of the Gulfport Rota-
rians will be present to address the
local business and professional rep
resentatives.
There is strong prediction for
organizing the Kiwanis Club in Bay
st. Louis unless the Rotary leaders
can "come strong" and show to the
contrary at the assembly next week.

A Circulating Library of new fic-
ton has recently been started here.
The Library is branch Of the Paul
Morphy Book Shop, Inc, at 419 Roy
al street, New Orleans.
This branch at the Bay will be in
the Tea Room, where, under the kind
assistance of Mrs. Chapman and Mrs.
Nelson and Mrs. Clem B. Penrose,
shelves have been made in the large
adjoining room, and the books in
stalled.
Miss Jennie Hunter will be the
librarian. The Library will be open
in the morning from 9 until 10 and
in the afternoon from A to 6.
The charge for the Library will be
one dollar initiation fee and ten cents
for each book taken out. This is a
very minimum charge, as all the
books cost two dollars or one-seven-
ty-fve at the least.
Miss LYDIA Belden, of New Orleans,
who, with Mrs. Rosalie Nixon, runs
the Paul Morphy Boop Shop, came
over to the Bay Friday morning to
bring the books. There is fine Sc
lection and a great variety of titles.
One can get the latest reading mat
fer. whatever their taste; detective
stories and adventure tales, simple
romances, problem stories, society
novels, short stories, no difference;
lust tell Miss Hunter where your
taste lies and get the book right off
the shelf. Just think of the fun you
can have for dime! 4.
Remember this Library is for
everybody. "He who runs may read" }"
Well. here's your chance. And all
the latest books.
The Library opened Saturday, with
a nice number joining. But we want
everyone to know that the Library is
here in the Bay. Miss Beldon says
she wants everyone in the surround
ing country to come and join, too.
1t is their Library as well.
Another good piece of news, Miss
Hunter said yesterday, that Miss
Belden was going to send new books
all the time, just as fast IS they are
published and as fast as the readers
here want them. And also that If
there were any novels the members
want to read, Just let Miss Hunter
know and she will write Miss Belden
and get the book.
Now don't forget about the Circu-
lating Library; all the new fiction for
ten cents a book; at the Tea Room.
Hours 80 a. m. and 4-6 p. m.

Spring term of Chancery Court fol
Hancock county adjourned Thursday
afternoon. Judge Griffith practically
rendered the State a clean slate.
Every case on the docket was consId-
cred and several matters OF years,
standing, where estates remained un-
settled, etc, final consideration was
given and the cases closed and ad-
nlinistrators, trustees, guardians and
others whose time had expired finally
discharged. Matters of years stand
ing on the docket were finally dis
posed of.
To The Echo Judge Griffith stated
that he could not see the necessity of
matters resting on the docket and
carried from term to term without
being settled In the matter of es-
tates and. other interests he said
many Of the litigants would either die
or move away in the meantime and
when the time came for final reckon
ing these parties could not be had and
more complications and delay fol
lowed. AS a result there had been
considerable losses of fees and causes
have suffered.
The result of the court in the
handling of cases of current interest
is as follows, presented in tabloid
form:

been paid to a deserving member of
the bench. At meeting of the Han
cock County Bar Association, of
which Hon. w. J. Gex is president
and Hon. Carl Marshall secretary,
complimentary resolutions were
unanimously adopted endorsing Hon.
V. A. Griffith, judge of the local
chancery court, for his past record
and also as an endorsement for his
reelection to the position this year,
primary election to be held in Au-
gust.
The resolutions featured the fact
that Judge Griffith has sacrificed per-
sonal interests for the public good.
He has made one of the best judges
in the history of the court. His serv-
ices are thorough and his every effort
is given to the trust. He has sacri-
feed a wide and lucrative practice
to serve the position demanding so
much and which pays comparatively
little for man of his talents and
ability. The district has been especi-
ally fortunate, and, as the resolution
says, "He has brought honor to the
position of chancellor, rather than
having been honored by it."
The Echo publishes the resolutions
in ful1 and as follows.
RESOLUTIONS ADOPTED BY THE
HANCOCK COUNTY BAR
ASSOCIATION.
We, the Hancock County Bar As
sociation, being constituted of every
lawyer in Hancock county, and every
member of the association being pres
ent, do hereby adopt the following
resolution:
Whereas, we recognize and are
highly appreciative of the sacrifice
made by the Honorable V. A. Grif-
fifth, in accepting the chancellorship of
this district, in doing which we know
that he has forgotten self interest, in
the public good, and,
Whereas, we feel that in his sac
rifce he has brought honor to the
position of chancellor, rather than
having been honored by it, and,
Whereas, we appreciate not only
his great ability and his fidelity to
duty, but his painstaking effort in the
discharge of his duty, and,
Whereas, we have learned with sat
isfaction and delight that he has
agreed to give four more years of his
valuable services to this district;
Now, Therefore Be It Resolved, by
this Bar Association of Hancock
county, all of its members participant
ing in this resolution, and that we
recognize in the Honorable V. A.
Griffith a public servant who has sac
rifced his own personal welfare for
the public good, and that we endorse
his course of conduct in the discharge
of his duty, and most heartily en-
uOfSe MS cdnuludCy IOI IS-ClCSIioii'
and further hereby extend to him our
hearty appreciation of the able and
conscientious manner in which he has
discharged his every duty.
Be it further resolved, that this
resolution might remain as everlast-
ing monument to our appreciation as
hereinabove set out, that the chancel-
lor be requested to spread this reso-
luton on the minutes of the Chan
Gerry Court of Hancock county, and
that this resolution be filed and re-
main among the archives of this
court.
Adopted this the 1st day of June,
