WONDERFUL CHANGES.

Word comes to us of wonderful
changes in the farms Of the Miss
issippi bottoms, especially in the
region of Coahoma and Bolivar
counties. Northern people are
settling there at a phenomenal
rate. In one locality, we are told,
500 families have settled in a
month. AS a consequence the
lands are increasing in value and
the large plantations are being di-
vided up into small farms. A 6ooo-
acre place was last week cut up in
to 800 2o-acre farms and the en-
tire amount sold to these Northern
people.
This division of large plantations
means that the land will be much
more thoroughly cultivated. Ma
ny of these immigrants come from
regions where land is very valuable
and they are accustomed to an in
tensive system of farming They
don't want much land, but they
will cultivate what they do have
like a garden, and many of them
will make more off 20 acres than
some our people will off hun
dred.
When we consider that only one
sixth of the land in Mississippi is
cultivated, we can readily see how
the coming OF thrifty set of farm
ers can benefit US in two ways.
The abundance OF our land de-
p<eciate, its value. A large num-
Der Of immigrants will not only af-
ford US sale for our surplus land,
but they will increase the value Of
all real estate by creating a greater
demand for it. An increase of a
thrifty population always increases
land values.
Central Mississippi is doing
practically nothing to secure the
benefits to be secured from this
immigration. Why not2 We
can offer them greater inducements
than any other section of the State.
We have good lands, well watered,
suitable for any kind of crops; we
have no overhows, no hot winds,
no continued droughts or rainy
spells; and sc never had a crop
failure. Vast hordes Of Northern
farmers are coming South in search
Of just such a region. If we sit
supinely by and extend them no
invitation, other sections will be
filled up and become prosperous
while we, if we get anything at all,
will get merely the overflow popu-
!aticn.

In the prevailing disturbance
over the gold reserve, the people
have lost sight of national expend-
lture' and receipts. Democratic
rule has already created a neat lit
tie surplus Of about SO, 900, 900 in
the treasury in place of the deficit
left by President Harrison. The
only trouble is that it is mostly sill
yer and paper and not available
to settle gold obligations.

A DslIrhtfuI Theory.

1.-THE strangest invention that ever
came to my notice" said patent agent
TO j. W., twas that recently brought
out by an old German. His idea is to
build massive pillar in the center of
the Atlantic ocean and place upon it a
revolving bridge, one end touching Liv-
erpool and the other New York. SO that
people in England desiring to go TO New
York could get on at the Liverpool end
of the dridge, and vice versa
by a semi-circle turn of the bridge
the passengers will be brought TO their
destination.
''When ! asked him how he could get
the pillar in the ocean, and where the
power would come from TO turn such a
structure, he admitted that he had
overlooked it, and when told him fur
Their that there was danger of the ice
in the Arctic regions being an obstruc-
ton to the turning of the bridge, he
decided to carry the idea no further. :"
