For the sake of the rector who
is young and artless says the Hud.

known. But the story is true and
it occurred last week over in Hills
dale county and each woman is
busy with the narration. There
is an organization in the church;
what its uses are only the mem
bers know, but 1t is called 1.-THE
LittleMothers of the Church. !"
Now, this rector was giving out a
notice about it the other Sunday
and how a woman could join it,
etc. And then he made this an
nouncement, which created afut-
ter and a gasp: ''Any lady wish
ing to become a Little Mother can
do SO by calling on the rector in
his study attached to the church."
And a murmuring wave like a
sudden wind in the forest, went

The Greenville times. [volume] (Greenville, Miss.) 1868-1917, 1900-03-17

The Senate of Mississippi has
passed u bill carrying an appro.
prlation of $4,000 for the cree
ton and equipment of a textile
school at the Agricultural and
Mechanical College. 1t is beIiev
ed that the sentiment of the lower
house Is favorable to the measure.
Such an expenditure will be a
wise one. In the natural course
of events fastening every day,
Mississippi is bound to become a
large cotton manufacturer and it
cannot make too great haste in
equiping itself with the means to
educate its textile directors equal
to those which have been found
necessary in the older textile GEN.

Mills in Mis- sissippi.

In the last number of the Man
ufacturer Record contained /,
sound and logical article from the
pen of Mr.. H. V. Hall of Meri-
dian, in which he states that the one
cotton mill of that city has declar-
ed a handsome dividend from the
start. He says:
Mississippi is waking up tc
the necessity of encouraging the
investment of foreign capital with
in her borders. Her senate has
just passed resolution, by vote
OF 2S to 6, to incorporate in the
constitution a l0-year exemption
from taxation on all cotton or
wooden mills, and the house will
follow Snit.
There is one cotton mill in
this city, erected at a cost of $1OC,-
900, entirely by home capital,
which after being in operation two
years, doubled It's capacity and
last year earned 80 per cent. It
has paid s per cent, dividends
from the start.
The writer has no doubt that
$4,000 could be raised here for
another factory If some experience

easily be obtained. This is a city
