"Evcry week" says the Dixie Press,
of West Point, paper that is working
all the time for the upbuilding of state,
county and town, "hrings a report of
some new industry located within the
borders of our state. Indeed a move
ment is inaugurated that if continued at
the present speed will make Mississippi
the scene of unparalleled activity in a few
years. The same paper says that "the
little things of life are those that usually
make ones fortune. The man that does
not save his dimes seldom gets any dol
lars to save, and the fellow that negl ct
small Jobs seldom nas an opportnny at
large ones. Thirty years ago truck farm
ing in the south was considered beneath
the dignity of all, while to day IT'S the
man with the little farm and diverse
crops that makes the money. The man
with the big plantation and negroes has
little left when all the expenses are paid.

of this life"

Christmas Holidays for Colleges.


From the various comments in the newspa-
pers 1t would seem that the giving OF recess,
or a holiday, in our Colleges during Christ
mas week is one of the important issues Of
the day. ...>
The trustees OF Winthrop Female College
voted six for holiday and seven for no holl'
day, and hence the young ladies Of that insti.
tuition have not had an opportunity 10 spend
q pleasant week at home where they would
be almost sure to take cold, and, returning,
would be unable for another week to pursue
their studies with their normal ability and
energy.
The Board of Trustees were right In their re-
flsal TO grant the holiday. Ia
l. Because OF the expense which would be
entailed on parents who are Ill able to stand
the unnecessary outlay in paying board
while their children were not at their studies,
and could not we'll afford TO pay cost OF q
needless trip, however pleasant 1t may have
been.
2 Because the stopping OF the studies OF
the students, not only entails unnecessary e1-
pense on their parents, but endangers their
own health BY theexposure incident TO travel
In the severest weather OF the winter.
8. Because the holiday bears uneQualiy In,
that some students are unable TO come home,
and those less able to make the trip must
loiter about the college In enforced idlenesss,
and wasteful expense, while waiting for the
return of their rich comrades.
4. Because, II the children Of rich parents,
or society people, wish to have their children
at home during the Christmas, ills their right
to do 80. but their daughters should not be al
lowed to stop the school, and thus force other
scholars who are willing. or are obliged TO
work, to stop their studies while waiting on
the pleasure OF their frolicking schoolmates.
5. Because weeks holiday, spent In the
middle Of session, to some extent, d'sorgan-
ICES the school. &Ia
When we see 80 much about football. base.
ball, and holidays at our colleges, layman 10
led to question whether the time Of stu
dent is intended for fun and frolick, or for
study. The average student generally has
rest OF three months In the Summer. This
ought to satisfy.

Suspended Christmas Week

Quite a number Of our country exchanges
gave notice last week Of their suspension for
Christmas week. Some Of them had original
remarks about the hardworked printers and
editors. upon which We have no comment.
This newspaper learned many years ago
that Christmas week was generally one Of the
best weeks in the year for business OF all
kinds. For this reason we have not suspend
ed publication a week In some fifteen or
eighteen years.
We believe that II 1t pays 70 print paper
at all. 1t pays to print 1t regularly.
