brother, Mr. T. W. Adam, at Bay St. Louis, by Rev. Father Alphonse, Mr. P. B. Hand, of Handsboro, and Miss Anette Adam, of Bay St. Louis.
The above announcement will be a pleasant surprise to the friends of the happy couple. Mr. Hand is one of the staunchest citizens of Harrison county, and quite a successful business man. He is owner of a large lumber factory at Handsboro and a foundry at Long Beach, is a public-spirited citizen, and is in every way worthy of the fair bride he has won. Miss Adam is a lovable young lady and Mr. Hand is to be congratulated upon winning such a jewel from the matrimonial field.
To both the Beacon extends hearty congratulations and best wishes. - (From the Pass Christian Beacon).
Mr. and Mrs. P. B. Hand have the very best wishes of The Echo. (SCE 12/17/1892)
Alphonse, Rev. Father, will deliver the first
of the series of Lenten sermons to be given every week at
the Church of Our Lady of the Gulf on Wednesday evenings.
The	sermon	was a splendid and interesting one	on the
conversion	of sinners ere it be too late, and	it is to	be
regretted that the inclement weather prevented a large
attendance. Next Wednesday and every Wednesday
thereafter, Rev. Father will give us one of his excellent sermons beginning at 7:20 p.m. (SCE, 2/24/1894)
Alphonse, Rev. Father, at the Academy of	St. Joseph last	Friday	night,	was
given	an impromptu musical in his honor.	The good	father	had	just	returned
from a five month's absence in Europe where he went to visit his mother. The welcome given Father Alphonse was a warm one and both teachers and pupils evinced the liveliest pleasure at his return. There were present a few invited guests and the bright young ladies taking part did most beautifully in music, vocal and instrumental as well as reciting in a brilliant manner.
