LUMBER BUSINESS.

Our immense pine forests which few
years ago were without profit, have been
utilized, and have become sources of un-
told revenue to the enterprising parties,
who have been so fortunate as to become
their proprietors, as in many instances,
they have. for mere song The mills
between Crystal Springs and the State
line, are innumerable. Immense piles
Of lumber are ready for shipment at
frequent points along the route and the
best of it is, the Western markets,
which are the main reliance of the lum-
bermen, offer demand without bounds.
There is no estimating the value of this
pine region, which before the establish
ment Of railway communication, was lit
orally barren waste.

| founder Of the celebrated Bankston Mills
IN Choctaw county-a mammoth establish
ment which he projected and carried for
ward to a condition of success which left
the question, whether the manufacturing
of our chief staple in Mississippi would
pay, no longer an open one. He, it was,
who solved the problem and held up his
light for an example to Others The
history of the rise and progress of his
great enterprise before it was blasted by
the war, would be curious and especially
instructive. After the war, he instinct
lively turned to his old pursuit; but with
out capital and compelled to pay enor-
nous rates for the money necessary to be
employed in building up new estab-
lishment-and with the depressing effect
of financial panics and PROSTATE industries
all around him-how could he have sup
ported the burden which he had taken
upon himself? The result is that the,
establishment which he projected soon
after the war, and located at the thriving
seat of industry which bears his name,
two miles below the town of BeauregaTd
on the n. o., j. q G. n. r. R.-has
passed into the hands of capitalists who
are succeeding even beyond their own
most sanguine expectations j. NJ. Wes-
son, the author of the enterprise, modest
ly tolls at his unpretentious lumber mill

mess in his line, the public look upon
him in his present pursuit and recall the
story of the square pin in the round
hole. He is out of place He ought
to be at the head of a large manu-
featuring establishment where his ca
pabilities would have full play, and
where they could be employed for his own
and the public's good.
PONCHAToULA.
This village is but suburb of New Or
leans. To the beholder it presents the
appearance of many other railroad towns,
whose ambition has outstripped their
means. Immense frame houses, vacant
and dismal, attest the miscalculation of
the builders in the trade the place would
control. The principal industry here is
getting out timber for the New Orleans
market, but as the demand is poor, bust
ness is dull and money scarce. 1t may
well be imagined that but few improve
ments are going forward in a city whose
every other door-post carries the dismal
sign ''to LETT or ''for SALE" Misrule in

is located. 1t was first established in New
England, and the Outlet Gin was not
long in taking precedence of its rivals.
But the enterprising head of the estab-
lishment soon discovered his mistake in
manufacturing his Gin so remote from
where the staple, which it is designed to
prepare for market, is produced; and
consequently he selected this place several
years ago for the headquarters of his bus
mess. Here it is accessible to the heart
of the cotton region, and possesses facili-
ties far superior to his former location
for carrying on an establishment of the
kind. The works are extensive and the

Special Correspondence Of The
Clarion.

PoNcHAroULA, La, June %, 1874.
Coming down the Road a few nights
ago, your correspondent noticed the un-
usual detention of the train at Terry,
Hazlehurst and Beauregard, and on en-
quiring the cause, was informed that
large quantities of peaches We're being
shipped from these points for the New
Orleans market. At Terry a full car of
this delicious fruit was attached to the
train. In order to expedite delivery,
THE FRUIT CROP
is sent forward by the passenger train.
1t is thus received fresh and fragrant by
the consumer before decay sets in, and IS
very much relished. At this season you
will find peaches-the product OF our
soil-at all the markets, and the huckster
stands of the city. They command ready
sale, and all parties aTe remunerated for
their trouble. The fruit crop has become
an important branch of industry in the
neighborhoods which have named, and
at this season of the year, when money
is scarce, it is great relief to the farmers
exchequer.
The extension of the Mississippi Cen
tral to Cairo and the establishment Of
direct and through connection with Chi
cago and the Lakes, will greatly increase
the facility for the quick transportation
and sale of this fruit in the production of
which orr own State, by the way, holds
supremacy. Those distant markets where
the demand is unlimited, have been
brought to our very door by the enterprise
and intrepidity of McComb, West, and
their coadjutors.
On the line Of the Road between Terry
and this point, one is struck with the
marvellous signs of material development
which meet the eye on every hand. Two
miles below Amite City, the

The Farmer VindicatOr has a
long article headed as above, in
which it truly says that there is a
men raised in the country for some
kind of employment in the city,
and that if young man In the
neighbOrhOod happens to secure
city clerkship at a few hundred a
year, all the other young men con-
slider him extremely fortunate and
are half crazy about it, in their
anxiety to obtain a similar posi-
ton.
The writer goes on to assert that
the professions and mercantile posi-
tons are more than full, and then
draws a vivid picture of two young.
men settling down in business, each
having a small family, but no CAPT
tai. One is so fortunate Gin the
estimation OF bOth) as to obtain a
situation in the city, on a salary of,
say, one thousand a year, while the
other is forced to remain in the
country.
The city man starts in life, but
VIC oiHl q
rent to pay-in fact must pay for
every thing, and by the end OF the
year he is very fortunate indeed if
his salary meets his current ex-
penses. II he is economical, and has
an economical wife, he may lay oy a
few dOllars-but if otherwise, he
finds himself in debt at the end of
the year. This leads to specuiations,
and very often gambling to exc out
II precarious existence. 1t is esti-
mated that about one in every fit
teen succeed in becoming prosper
GUS business men.
Our young farmer can do nothing
better than to move to some good
country and take him a farm. Now,
with him comes the tug of war. 1t
is not an easy thing to bring farm
under cultivation without capital,
and at the same time make II living;
but it has bee done by hundreds
and thousands OF hardy pioneers,
and our young farmer does not fail.
Years pass away, and our young
farmer fluids himself the owner OF u
productive and valuable farm, with
comfortable and convenient build
ings, and with a stock of cattle,
horses, hogs, sheep, ETC., sufficient
for his business.
A large and healthy family has
grown up around him, and he has
been able to give his children a re-
spectacle education. H. Owes moth
ing, and is independent. But in all
the busy years, during which he
cheerfully Iabored for those he loved
and to estab lish his cOndl ton, there
has been no one year in which there
has come into his family, in cash,
an amount equal to the city clerks
annual salary. and he comes to re-
gard the clerk as better paid than
himself, and falls into the habit of
grumbling at his lot in life and the
appropriateness of farming. And
that very disposition to grimble is
one of the main things that starts
his boys to the city in search of
something better.
Think of this, farmers and be-
fore you allow yOurseIve to grum-
BILE about your hard lots in the
presence Of your boys, take calm
survey of your surroundings, and
compare your condition with that
of friends you may know in the city.
