Of the industries located within

been running successfully during

very bright.
1t is a singular fact that of
twenty-three factories located dur

river, and at the present moment
there are eight or ten other COM

things necessary for the support of
his family. AS a result the ship
ments of meats into Missippi have
shrunken fully 60 per cent. and
the corn crop last year was 10000
600 bushels in excess of any crop
ever grown in that state before.
To continue this good work, the
storekeepers in different parts of
the country have entered into
agreements by which they will re-
fuse to sell on credit to farmers ar
ticles that they can produce upon
their own farms for the support of
their people, thus compelling them
to continue in the road to prosper
ity that they have already entered
upon.
"The merchants throughout the
statein 1894 reported that they
were selling more goods than they
ever had done before, and that
the farmers were paying cash for
what they bought, Owing to the
low price of cotton last winter this
condlti On has had a temporary set
back, but it is more than doubtful
if the farmers, with this one taste
of prosperity, will ever get back
into the old rut of paying two or
three prices for things they can
grow themselves.
"There has been prevailing
opinion that the state OF Mississ-
ippi is swampy, malarial and I'M
healthy. That is all wrong.
There are more old men and wom-
en- in possession Of their faculties
and full health than in any other
state in the union. The death
rate in Massachusetts is just 80
per cent greater than that in Mis-.
sissipp;, and Mississippi leads all
