Jackson Destined to Be a Great City
Governor Loagino Apr 0 IS Some
Chlrte-s.--Short Notes Of Interest.


per. He says:
jackson is destined to be grea
pity. Its railroad facilities, with more
10 follow, are unsurpassed by any
town Of its population perhaps, il
the United States. Its location il
ideal. 1t is the railroad center Of the
south, from which point more places
Of business can be reached by mai
quicker and an answer received soon
er than any other place in the whole
south. II is already passing from @
retail village to wholesale manu-
featuring city. Mills and factories OF
All kinds are building, or being organ
lied. 1t is no idle prophecy to state
hat within few years jackson will
be great -four mill center, whether
the wheat is grown in Mississippi or
not. Already there are signs looking
to this step. Away from Jackson the
people all over Mississippi, and in
many places in the south, are speak
ing in the highest terms Of the GER
tain possibilities, the speedy prob
abilities, to put it stronger, Of the
capital Of Mississippi. Its magnifi-
cent schools and colleges, it's superb
railroad facilities, its magnificent
health record, its splendid progress on
Its own account, and the erection Of
. million dollar statehouse, has made
1t the cynosure Of all industrial eyes.
1t can almost feel Its wonderful fu-
ture in the instant.
"In addition to all tl-is-since the
people here have awakened to the re-
ahzation Of their magnificent situa-
ton, and have gone to work in earn
sst-thc press Of the state has begun
to praise the seat Of government and
now takes pardonable pride in its
splendid progress. One Of the main
things that riveted the admiration
and support Of the press to jackson
was the putting in Of hundred
thousand dollar sewerage system,
which is now completed and ready
for connection. This sanitary step,
while local in the matter Of pipe-lay-
ing, affected the whole state, for
here 1t is that the people must come
to transact public business. The
splendid sanitary system Of sewers
will make the capital city immune
to epidemics of fright, frenzy and
folly, and the brutal shotugn quaran-
tine has become "Reminiscences.
People who do not know would
be surpri sed to hear Of the different
inquiries, and from widely different
sources, that are being made about
this city. Business men do not hunt
for investments with brass bands, and
yet they cannot get information upon
which TO invest without making a
still hunt; and those who furnish
such information sometimes talk not
for publication, but quietly. Not a
day passes but some representative OF
capital seeking investment is here
looking the ground over.
"These things are published to ac-
quaint the people of Mississippi with
the roseate future Of their state CAPT
tai. And in this connection it is graf
flying to be able to state that all the
towns in Mississippi are growing
that all sorts of industries are spring
Ing up, and that there never was such
united and determined purpose of
all the influences which make for the
upbuiding of the state to make Mis-
sissippi the industrial queen of the
