SPIRIT WILL BUILD BAY SAINTLOU
Local Citizen Discusses t Factors That Make Towns Grow.
?Bay St. Louis will grow or backward proportionately to the sj of co-operation evidenced by the ] pie who live here? declared one our citizens recently. ?No town,' continued, ?can stand still. It ei improves or retrogrades. A tow just like an individual, or a busii There is no half way ground.?
The remarks were overheard ing a recent conversation, and t narily would have found no plac the columns of any newspaper.

If there is an who reads this article and finds eslf guilty of furnishing a stum block in the path of Bay St. I progress, it is hoped that he w sufficiently patriotic to his town to get busy and remove th stacle or else resolve not to be i of the same error in the future.
The speaker spoke of some c cities with whom lots of folks are familiar with. He told c much talked of spirit of this to that town, and how by the ?beli your own town? spirit cities sprung from what in former represented hardly more than : place in the road.
