Town killers are classified into eight

those who get out of town to do their
shopping: second those who are op-

who prefer quiet town to one of push

who deride public spirited men; sixth,
those who oppose every move that
does not originate with them: seventh,
those who oppose every move that does
not appear to benefit them; eight, those
who seek to injure the credit or rep

at an early date to issue pamphlet
containing Mr.. Fl. II. Hargroves let

valuable articles on Cotton Mills,
which recently appeared in its columns.
This pamphlet contains from 40 to 80
pages (6x9) of printed matter and is in
tended for free distribution in the cot

yertisement in the book, the Picayune
having determined to bear the whole
expense as one of its contributions to
the development of the States of
Louisiana and Mississippi, and espe-
cially of their cotton interests. This
