Baxter, Benny - The most important feature of the week was a grand school exhibition given at the town hall, under the  auspices of Professor Scarboraugh and Miss Bessie Smith,  which resulted most successfully. Recitations were  delivered splendidly by Misses Ida Cowart, Lulu Gause, Cora  Stocker, Lydia Cowart, Masters Phil Hursey, Adloe Orr and  Benny Baxter, all of which were enthusiastically applauded.  The programme of the evening concluded with addresses by W.  T.  Stocker and Rev.T.W. Adams. Professor Scarboraugh and  his efficient and accomplished assistant, Miss Bessie  Smith, deserve great praise for the manner in which they conduct the affairs of the school, which requires increasing labor and study to accomplish satisfactory  results.

BSL TRAIN STATION OPENING

 

Of he many outstanding features appearing in the current number of the L. & N. Magazine, published monthy at Louisville, Ky., none is more outstanding and of more interest than the ilustrated story telling of the formal opening of the Bay St. Louis depot.

 

Through the courtesy of the Magazine, we are able to reproduce the article and illustrations, and value the consideration unfailingly given Bay St. Louis by the “Old Reliable” L. & N. The story follows:

 

Saturday evening, April 20, marked a gala occasion for Bay St. Louis, Mississippi, and the L. & N. Railroad.  The new (the old station was destroyed by fire March 8, 1928) two story stucco depot erected for the L & N by Lionel Favret, general contractor of New Orleans, was formally opened.

 

The people of Bay St. Louis had watched the progress of the work with a great deal of interest and shortly before its completion informed Agent John A. reen that they desired to show and express their appreciation with a short ceremony and entertainmnt; accordingy the date was set and Mr. Green turned the depot over to the city officers, Chamaber of Commerce and Rotary Club.

 

About 7:00 p.m., a large crowd  started to gather and before the evening was over reached five or six hundred in number, men, women and children.  A great many L & N employes from points along the division were also present.  Excellent music was furnished by Saucier’s Orchestra, local syncopators.  The entire buiding ws lighted up and thrown open to the public.  Baskets and bouquest of flowers were numberous and Agent Green received many telegrams of congratulations and gifts for his office and desk.  The ladies of he committee were kept busily engaged serving punch from a large bowl under the shed.

 

Afer inspection of the building had been made by all, chairs were placed on the concrete platform and the guest were seated, whereupon C. C. McDonald, well know merchant of Bay St. Louis, and president of the Chamber of Commerce, acting as chairman praised the magnificent edifice which the L & N had built for the people of Bay St. Louis.  He then intoduced Mississippi’s siver-tongue orator, Senator Carl Marshall - son of the late Charles Marshall, for many years superintendent of the N.O. & M. Division.

 

Senator Marshall held his audience spell-bound and quoting the great James J. Hill stated that next to religion, railroads had done more than anything ese toward the promotion and advancement of civilization and that the L&N in particular for its excelent service endered to the people of Bay St. Louis.  In finishing, Mr. Marshall thanked the L&N  RR and Colonel Morton for the new and magnificent station building and grounds.

 

Chairman McDonald next introduced Colonel L. L. Morton, superintendent, who stated that the building and improvements had cost $70,000.  He praised the work of Lionel Favret, who built the depot.

 

Next on the program, Chairman McDonald introduced Emile J. Gex, local attorney for the L&N who gave a touching tribute to the 54 years  of sercice and faithfuness of Agent A. Green to the L&N Railroad company.

 

The affair ended just as the American rolled into the station at 10:00 p;.m(SCE 5-24-1929.

 

WHERE TO PUT BAY ST. LOUIS BRIDGE

 

The people of Bay St. Louis are having a hard tme to decide just where they want THEIR new bridge located.  The new bridge is to replace the old wooden structure across the Bay  of St. Louis which conects Hancock and Harrison counties.  A number messages are being sent the members of the State Highway Department from residents of Hancock County, pro and con.  Some asking that the new bridge be constructed in the location of the old bridge, due to business.  Others asking that it be built 2000 feet above the old bridge.

 

From the way they are griping about it you would think they are putting up all the money.
