MERIDIAN, MISS, May Q, 1906.
There have been only two cases Of
smallpox. Ono of these is outside of the
city, very close to the boundary; the
other was inside the city, but was
strictly guarded until removed to the
city pestbouae. This case Is now at the
pesthouso, out in the mountains . milo
and q half or more beyond the city
limits, and under strict guard and isola-
tion. Tho case outside the city has
been and is constantly guarded and iso-
lated under inspec tion OF both city and

A Model stock Farm.

Mr. Fl. L. Foote. of Sharkey County,
one Of the progressive citizens OF that
portion Of the State, Is showing the
people Of the delta by actual demon
stration that something else can be
raised in that rich country besides
cotton. He has converted the greater
portion of his home place, The Mounds,
into q stock farm, and has it divided
into lots and pastures like real blue
grass farms in Kentucky. He has built
some fine stables and barns, and will
build others before winter. He will
soon have large tank on the tallest OF
the mounds, which will be filled by q
windmill. This tank will be used as a
means to force water to any part Of the
plantation and the several pastures as
they are used.
Mr.. Foote'S enterprise will be watched
with great interest and profit. 1t is
fast becoming recognized by the pro-
gressive farmers even Of that rich sec
tion that in order to make any money,
or even fair living, something else
must be raised besides cotton. Acting
on this many of them are going into
cattle and hog raising, and the farmer
now who fails to raise large proper

exception than the rule. All this hal

MISSISSIPPI MATTERS.


Reports from all portions Of the State
are to the effect that the fruit crop is
the best for years. The cold weather.
which continued late In the season, pre-
vented the trees from budding, and con-
sequently they contain full quantity
Of fruit. When IL is considered that the
State has had almost total failures OF
fruit crops for the past few years, this
means much for 1t in the way Of pros
perity, and will bring In many thousands
Of dollars. From jackson south to
Brookhaven large business Is done In
growing fruit for the markets.. This is
especially true of the country around
Terry, Crystal Springs and Hazlehurst,
the fruit crop there having been worth
more to those sections than cotton. In
fact, many Of the planters Of those sec
tions have given up growing cotton en-
tirely and devote themselves to fruit
and vegetable culture.
All kinds OF crops are represented as
being in fine condition, and prospects
Of a large yield were never more favora-
Bile. The recent rains were badly needed,
especially by the cotton, much OF which,
owing to the dry weather, had failed to
come up. Owing to the late season most
all kinds OF crops are from ten days to
two weeks late, and in some sections
even moro than this. More corn has
been planted than heretofore, and yet
we'll posted men doubt whether the
cotton acreage has been decreased
materially. The efforts Of the Cotton
Growers Convention to impress the
people with the necessity for large
reduction came too lato to have the in
fIuence it would otherwise.
