District?Platform Is ?Service.?
Formal announcement of Eugene Fly, secretary to Senator Pat Harrison, candidate from* this, the Sixth Congressional District, is made this week, and follows ' the statement last fall that he would, in due time, become a candidate.
This announcement from Mr. Fly will be received with more than ordinary interest, particularly by the many whose personal acquaintance he enjoys.

Readers of The Sea Coast Echo will read Mr. Fly?s statement ?To the Democratic Voters of the Sixth Congressional District of Mississippi? with a deep and abiding interest. His statement follows:
?Pursuant to statement made last fall that I, would be a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Congress this year, I hereby formally announce my candidacy. At an early date I will enter upon a thorough canvass of the District and it will be my pleasure to see and( talk with as many of you personally as possible.

and the kind and character forms and emblems shall be and approved hv -ifc-e | Mnynr. ?That the resolution taTTE

In connection with the above the official order from the city?s minutes is of interest:
?Resolved and ordered that Albert Jones be and is hereby appointed chief of police for the city of Bay St. Louis as provided for by law, whose salary shall be $125 00 per month and he shall furnish his own uniform, automobile and telephone.
?That this resolution shall take effect an'd be in force from and after May 1st, 1928.?
