As manufacturing and mechanical
industries are most needed in the
Gulf States as we'll a those Offering
the greatest induccmcnt, to capital,
We may mention the following:
Food manufacturing such "a corn
and wheat, mills, bakery products,
the canning and preserving Of fruits
aud vegetables, oyster canning, fish
canning, etc.
Furniture OF all kinds and wooden
ware.
Agricultural implimcuts Of all
kinds mcluding wagons and carriag
g.
Lumber OF every grade, building
material therclrom, sash, doors,
blinds.
Brick, tile, stone and cartben
ware.
Tcxtiles--cotton fax and WOODEN
articles of ware--Hpholstery.
Leather, boots. shoes, harness and
saddlery.
Paper Of various gradcs-papcr
sacks, bags, barrels and wall paper.
Oils, soap aud candles.
Dairy products, milk butter aud
cheese.
House and other building.
The demand for capital and skill.
ed operatives Co engage ia the above
departments of industry is at present
an imperitive one. The demand for
such products is great aud the home
supply very limited. Millions OF
dollars will be expended in Mis~Issip.

capital and enterprise from the
North. h
Many central goints are most IA
vorably located for the promotion of
manufacturing interests, in some of
which extensive buildings have been
erected. There Is neither capital or
skilled operatives IN the South now
60 pnt into successful operation these
grand enterprises, therefore the APP
peal for aid goes forth TO such com
munities as have both in paying cx-
cess.
The great mass Of business men In
the South realize the advantage Of.
fercd, and the imperative nathru of
their wants, and will join most heart
lily in cooperation, and make any
needed sacrifices to ensure the devel.
opment of their manufacturing re
sources. Several of the money max
ing advantages We have personally
examined aud cannot question their
merit.--[Mississippi Valley Prog
