THE VOTERS OF THE
CITY OF P~AScAC0ULA

Has it ever occurred to the Citizens of this thriving community
sive city? 1t has climate, pleasure-resort possibilities, paved high
ways and transportation facilities, housing facilities and war-ex-
5panded industries. However, there is one essential thing that must
be developed If the City is to move ahead after the duration of the
war period. This refers to community spirit, that something that
makes a city surmount all obstacles that arise. 1t may be called
the spirit of friendlness or brotherly love among all its citIzenry
This tends to develop harmonious action and encourages the various
groups and factions to forget their petty jealousies and makes all
pull together for the good and beterment of the community. This
causes the energy, lost or wasted by groups fighting one another,
to be expended in common and harmonious action for the better
|ment of all the groups and incidentally the entire City.
There is a spirit of cooperation that becomes necessary for the
citizens OF a community to all get together. pull together and work
doing this, all selfish interest and small petty jealousies must be
discarded and forgotten for the action to be harmonious. successful
and for the city betterment. No City movement can be successful
without people from all walks of life pulling together and working
towards the same progressive goal This refers to all people of good
reputation IN the community to be progressive for the City to move
ahead So long as all the citizens have the same good intentions
and are all working for the same good, it would appear that it would
community.
II this City is retain any of its newfound expansion. new
citizens must be encouraged to stay here and to urge others TO
come also. The City needs new blood to look beyond the fractional
disputes OF previous years, to gather strength from all groups. to
start a progressive movement and promote a friendly spirit among
Its citizens. Some such steps must be taken at this time and it must
be done prior to the end of this War. There is no need to welt
until all the new-found citizens have left to encourage them to stav.
Plenty of them like Pascagoula and would like to locate here per
manently. however, the opportunity to earn a living must be Of
fered. Some POSTWAR plans must be worked out and adopted
The time to do all these things is NOW. After the WAR will be
too late LET'S ALL JOIN HANDS and pull together for the conn
mon good and welfare of our promising and enterprising CITY I
citizens, BOTH NEW AND OLD. LET'S NOT BE STRANGERS

John Hay, aDho claimed the
District of Columbia as his
home Uhen he 1Dds appointed
Secretary of State.
to take over the duties of state. And
since then there have been about so
men to occupy this important post. not
including those who were assigned to
the Office temporarily or who were hold
over appointees of previous administra-
tions or who had held that office before.
When John Adams became President
he evidently desired to appoint John
Marshall to the state portfolio, but find
ing Timothy Pickering unwilling to
vacate the Office he held under Wash
ington, even when requested to do SO,
he was forced to dismiss him to make
way for Marshall James Madison was
Mr.. Jeffersons Secretary in both ad-
ministrations, and President Madison
had Robert Smith and James Monroe
to oficiate for him. James Monroe Sc
lected John Quincy Adams, and Adams
in turn selected Henry Clay.
Martin Van Buren,
Andrew Jacksons S first administrator
was not particularly joyful one to say
the least. Especially when Martin Van
Buren was Secretary of State and dur
ing the period when the spotlight of
criticism was being turned full force
on Peggy O'Neill, the wife of Senator
John H. Eaton.
1t is true that Peggy had lots of
innocent love affairs and at times was
imprudent, but none particularly to her
discredit, unless we regard the frivolous
kind our grandmothers had and liked
to boast of as being indiscreet For
have they not frequently told us how
they Tilted some beau or gave the mitten
to some undesirable suitor, and how this
girl or that girl passed up many good
opportunity only to 60 through the
wood and come out with broken stick?
But Margaret O'Neill aimed high,
with one exception, and usually got
what she went for, and it was her sue
cesses, rather than her waywardness
that brought down upon her head the
wrath of her jealous enemies.
Until she aspired to lofty heights she
was received In the best homes in Wash
ington, and at her wedding to John B.
Timberlake, the Presidents wife, the
famous Dolly Madison, was in attend
ance. as were the Rev. Mr.. Birch, Cooper
the actor, Samuel L. Southland, who be-
came Secretary Of the Navy, and many
others.
Changing Conditions
Later, when she became the wife of
Senator John H. Eaton, and he subse-
quently became the Secretary Of War,
conditions changed greatly. Peggy had
the backing of the President. Mrs.
Calhoun, wife of the Vice President, and
John c. Calhoun, led the opposition
forces. Van Buren, the genius of the
situation, took advantage OF the oppor-
tunity to advance his ambition for the
presidency, an ambition also maintained
