OUR SEA SHORE REGION - Id BnIl.
Tor editor desires TO make his acknowledges
ment to his old friend, Col William G-lilin,
OF Jackson county-fer present of ! box
of oranges. They were grown an The prem
Ises OF col. Griffin, on Paseagonla river i've
miles from the seashore. They are OF the
finest variety N the or .nge fruit-large, de-
Iicious AMI juicy they are priced by our
household. not only because OF their excel
lence, but as a token Of the good wishes OF
our esteemed friend, the donor.
This specimen OF fruit l. an evidence OF
the variety of the productions of our State.
There Is nothing its soil will not yield for
human enjoyment If nature is assisted BY
proper culture. II is peculiarly adapted To
the staple which enters most into commerce /;
aud besides, it yields the ceTiAi productions
and the fruits of the West, With the luxu-
ries of the Tropics.
The occasion reminds rs that Col. Griffin
is one OF the landmarks and pioneers OF our
State. His own person is an example of
what may be accomplished by lie OF in
dustry and unconquerable will. He was a
citizen of Mississippi while it was yet
Territory, having settled Ia Perry county
more than fifty years ago. Before the war,
having accumulated handsome fortune,
he founded large milling establishment
| at the junction of Pascagoula and Dog
rivers, at what is known as Moss Point
| When the war was over, he resumed this
enterprise, and has built up very large
| business. On his own vessels. the lumber
OF MS mils-tfe product of our State, enters
| into successful competition with other
countries in foreign markets. The lumber
trade within the past few years has grown
TO be an important interest in our State
The wealth which is being developed, BY
| il to which much is due To Col. Griffin, is
| untold.
With the diversified productions OF our
Seashore region, and ITS heaithtulness, this
| industry has rendered it one of the most at
tractive sections Of our State. Col. Griffin.

| Col j. L. P0lCer, .Secretory:-
Your letter and card Of the 23d October
| has at last gone the rounds and came to
| hand only to-day. May l ask permission to
say my say to your readers, especially in
and about jackson? Pardon me, friends and
| fellow-citzens, if 1 err in taking any credit
| to myself, but | think l am among the first
| to initiate the Agricultural Fairs into our
State-at least, | have been Il worker in the
cause, and as much interested now as at
any time. There is debt due by our Fair
Association, and it should be paid at once.
Allow me to suggest, that the Fair must be
| lucrative to Jackson and its vicinity; fer
| first the buildings, labor, drayage, police
| clerks, etc., get large part of the income;
then the visitors must leave in Jackson
| more or less, in the way of profits on mer
| chandIse. Many who visit the Fairs only
| leave their entrance fees, but l do know
some leave even $50 over and above their
| board. As one of the Stockholders, l am will
| ling to pay so or a 100 per cent. on stock, or
| to take other stock to that amount; for, if
am citizen of any county. it is of Kinds;
and | ask no remission OF Auty rs citizen.
| but think none outside ought to he taxed
when truly SO much advantage is to Jack
son. / am an rested-disnterested par
ty; interested in success, disinterested in
expecting any remuneration, as | have
