Promote Band - A fair size audience assembled at Fireman's hall Monday evening to witness "A Kiss in the Dark" by local amateur talent, the proceeds of the entertainment to be appropriated to the public park.
A few minutes after 8 o'clock the performance was in progress, ending at about 9 o'clock. The character of the play was one void of interest and a play not adaptable to show the fine talent by which it was executed. Professionals could play "A Kiss in the Dark" and never make a success of it.
The Promote Band furnished an abundance of good music and the fair and gallant enjoyed the delights of Terpsichorean art until a late hour. The ball was a perfect social success, and the whole affair financially good, so we are told. (SCE 09/23/1893)

REBEL TO YANKEE
In Natchez, and no doubt in other sections of the South, a Yankee is said to bee a northerner who comes to visit for a week or two and a Damn Yankee one who comes to stay.
No matter, most Yankees who have settled in the South dont care what they are called because they are treated well and in many cases rise to positions of prominence.
The port of Gulfport, for example, was founded by a northerner whose statue today overlooks busy Highway 90 and Mississippi Sound. Capt. Joseph T. Jones could come to Southern Mississippi near the turn of the century and find malice toward none, but few southerners who traveled North while Civil War memories lingered fared as well.
