The Past-The Present-Thc
Fu1uPe.

In looking over file Of the "TABLET,"
(which friend loaned us) a newspaper pub
Ished in Natchez, in 1928, by Andrew
Marschalk and the eccentric Henry Nose,
our attention was attracted by the following
paragraph:
"In fine, we think it very probable that
the banks of the Yazoo will yet he the aho' Q
Of wealth. Ii The soil be-, as u Is rePresen :
ed. as sintcrcommunlcaton Is doubtless good.
there can be no doubt hut a riculture Will
flourish on its borders and enrich her ch l.
dren."
How cautiously it is here predicted that
"the banks Of the Ynzoo will vet be the
abode Of W. ath." Indeed it is not only
declared probable that such will be the case.
Little did rhr writer of the article from
which we make the above extract, foIesee
the astonishing changes which little over
half score Of years were TO produce.-
Lurle did he dream that the valley of the
Yazoo, known to him only as a bowling
wilderness, where the foot Of the white
man had perhaps never pressed the uxuriaDt
heather. and where the wOodman's axe had
never been heard TO break the solemn sill
of the forest, as it sank into the heart
OF some monarch OAK that had stood for
centuries in regal pride, stretching rs gigan.
tic aims abroad, and lifting its towering
head towards the heavens-aye, little diu
Ia. hot NJ
become, in one>seventh part Of the period
allotted to the life of man, the garden spot
Of the "CottOn State," that its broad plains
and fertile ridges would be whitened BY tho
snowy staple Of the 'sweet suuth.west;"
and the hum Of business would be heard
within the then unpeopled forest. Yet such
is the fact. The wrg.wam of the red man
has made way for the contingencies Of
the merchant, and the dimnutive maize
patch has given place to the broad-spreadng
cotton fed. And should the improvement
Of our lovely valley continue to progress as
il has hitherto done, what may We not an~
ticipaie for the future. But we will not
attempt to play the sOoth-sayer, le-t the
prediction which would now be regarded as
visionary aud extravagant, might be laugh.
ed at by those who may chance TO peruse it,
ten years hence, for its lameness and the
immeasurable distance it will have fallen
short OF the glorious reality. To TINE
then, let US leave the task Of tearing away
the curtain that wells the unknown future
and which the punny hand Of man dare moi
attempt TO lift.
