SEA COAST ECHO, of Bay St. Louis, furnishes evidence of prosperity in the proposed enlargement of its size to a 7column folio on the fourth of next month. W. L. May, who has been for some time half owner of the stock and material, is now in harness as a working partner, and in future the paper will be conducted by W. L. May and Chas. G. Moreau, editors and proprietors. As they are both practical printers and experienced journalists, there is no reason in the world why each of them should not be owners of real estate inside of a year. To the new firm the HERALD extends congratulations, and that the ECHO will grow louder along the coast as time rolls. (BILOXI HERALD) (SCE, 11-4-1893)

G., of the Sea Coast Echo and a member of our school Board of Trustees, spent Friday afternoon with Miss Cazeneuve's class and expressed himself as well gratified at the results obtained in the first grades. He says, "I consider Miss Cazeneuve a thorough and most efficient teacher, and her boys and girls are showing results - the kind that count- and after I shall have visited the other rooms it will be my pleasure to again spend a while with the smaller pupils of the school." We are always glad to have our trustees call and inspect the work. (The High School Idea, Vol 1, BSL March 1908)
