The present mayor of the town (Waveland) is Mr. L. H. Fairchild, of whose beautiful residence our artist took a snap shot while we were there.
Fairchild, Mr. L. H. -Nearer Bay St. Louis will be found a beautiful and attractive vine covered cottage which is the summer residence of Mr. L. H. Fairchild; the Mayor of Waveland. It is situated on the beach and in the center of a beautifully laid out lawn surrounded by all the tropical flowers characteristic of a southern home. Being only five minutes drive from the Waveland Station of the Louisville and Nashville Rail Road it is within easy access to its owner, who spends his evenings with his family during the summer months. Mr. Fairchild is the senior member of the well known firm of Fairchild & Hobson, who perhaps do the largest brokerage business in the South-west, being connected with New York and Chicago by private wires. Their offices are located on Gravier Street, immediately in the rear of the Cotton Exchange. Photo of house. (ATG p4)

Waveland man recalls time spent with William Faulkner in Hancock by Brenda Heathcock.
Fans of celebrated Mississippi author William Faulkner do not have to travel further than Waveland to visit a place where he lived and wrote.
Market Street resident Ducre Bourgeios recalls with fondness the time spent with Faulkner when he rented a house on Beach Boulevard.
Bourgeois said Faulkner lived in a house on the corner of Market Street for a couple of months around 1920.
My cousin Edward Bourgeois and I met him one night as we were going floundering along the beach in front of his house,he added.
We just stopped and started talking to him, Bourgeois said.
Faulkner told us he had left New Orleans and the French Quarter to get awaay from the alcohol, he said.
We told him we could get him some white lightning and he said he would like to have a drink sometimes,Bourgeois said.
So, we brought him a half gallon of whisky the next night, Bourgeois said.
We drank some and my cousin and I stayed there until it was getting time to go crabbing,, he added.
Faulkner was a fine looking man in his late 20s, Bourgeois said, but a peculiar fellow
He went floundering with us a couple of times but it was too much work and too much walking for him, Bourgeois said.
Sometimes when we left he would start writing.
You could always tell when he was writing because of the mess, the entire front porch would be covered with papers and books.
He would hardly eat anything and most times when he was writing he didnt want to talk to us or anybody else.
But he never drdank a drop of liquor when he was working, he just kept right on working.
Once he wrote an entire book in three days.
Bourgeois knows of only one book Faulkner based in the Bay St. Louis area.
He wrote one book about three young black boys leaving on a trip from Bay St. Louis to Memphis.
Bourgeois said Faulkner would have an entire table covered with paper with just little bits and pieces scribbled on each page.
He never wanted anybody to know what he was writing and when we would come to visit he would cover everything up with blank sheets of paper, During all the time Faulkner lived by the beach he stayed by himself, Bourgeois said.
No girlfriends came around and nobody but us visited or talked to him, he added.
Bourgeois said Faulkner stayed in Waveland for a couple of months.
He left while I was out of town and I never saw him again, Bourgeois said.
I later read that he had gone back to Ole Miss, he added.
Although the house that Faulkner lived in was demolished in a 1947 hurricane, the house now on the property is called Faulkner Heights.
Bourgeois said his wife Mazie still live on Market Street, just across the street from where Faulkner lived and wrote.
