Bright Futxire
Bay St. Louis has a bright future before it.
It is one of the most favorably-located towns in Mississippi, vith a fine region of country around about it, a beautiful sheet of vater on either side, a salubrious site, and one of the most delightful summer and -winter climates in the -world, and, above all, it is inhabited by a population possessing refinement and elegance to a high degree, which would be a sufficient attraction to draw to it much of the refinement and wealth of other sections and cities.
