Colson, J.W. and Strong, Jack. - A FISH FACT
On Tuesday morning, J.W. Colson and Jack Strong had quite an interesting time in catching an immense silver fish, known on the Louisiana coast as the Grande Ecaile and in Florida as the Tarpon. The fish weighed over 100 pounds and was nearly 9 feet in length. While the fish is not fit to eat, the scales are highly prized for their immense size and beautiful color of blended silver and gold. This fish is seen and caught often on this coast, but for its swiftness and big destructive powers to seines and nets it is very much dreaded by fishermen. To catch one is indeed a rare sport, but at times dangerous. The editor has been presented with one of the pretty scales and invites everybody to call around and see it. It meaures three inches abroad. (SCE 09/23/1893)

Columbus Day. - Wednesday, October 12th, 1892 was the fourth centennial anniversary of the discovery of America, and while this event is being celebrated throughout the nation in elegance and grandeur, Bay St. Louis was not in patriotism to observe the day. The great Columbus was, in religion, a devout Catholic, and it was just and appropriate that the Catholics recognize the birthday of the discovery of a new world by one of its true followers. At 8 o'clock, Wednesday, a High Mass was held at the church of Our Lady of the Gulf, Very Rev. Father H. Leduc, officiating, Rev. Father Alphonse spoke briefly upon the occasion in beautiful and appropriate terms. In the evening, at 7 o'clock the pupils of St. Joseph’s Academy entertained a large number of Ladies and gentlemen by the execution of the following programme which we well received and loudly applauded:
