what we have and are and mean to be.
And, further, urge investors to "put us
on the list" when they go up and
down in the land seeking places in
which to plant their dollars and reap
ten-fold harvest. 1t is certainty
that Gov Longino's interest in this
work will increase and that he will
prove himself valuable member of
the bureau.
From Central Mississippi Hon. I. G.
Enochs, the great Lumber King"
was appointed as a member of the bu-
reau. Aside from Mr.. Enochs' splen-
| did integrity, his business success, his
varied interests and his wide knowl-
edge of the States resources-any one
of which would make him a valuable
member of such a commission-he is,
perhaps, the best informed as well as
most practical lumber man in Missis-
| sippi. And as much of our
| present success and more of our fu-
ture progress lies in the development
of this great industry, no better
choice could have been made than Mr..
Enochs; and so wise will be his han
| ding of this part of our exhibit that
we predict multiplication by scores
within this decade of the lumber mills
now in the State. To these will doubt
less be added furniture factories and
kindred interests galore.
Another splendid specimen of the
lumber section of the State is taken
from professional life in the person
of DR.. o. B. Quin of McComb City.
DR.. Quin is not only at the head of
his beloved profession, but is "a man
of affairs" as we'll. His knowledge of
mercantile matters, his repeated terms
as high officer in the cotton mills and
other public enterprises of his town;
his exalted position in the great secret
orders of which he is so devoted and
intelligent a member, and the staunch
love that his people in State, county
and town have often shown for him,
by elevating him to some of their high
est offices, all give indisputable proof
of his ability to do we'll the work that
lies before him, and to put his wise
intelligence into it, More than that,
Dr. Quin is a man who can deal with
men such as will be found in charge
of this grandest of Southern enter
prises.
From McComb to Senatobia is a
long stretch, but within the many in
tervening miles, all filled with our
good citizens, no better man could
have been found than that man OF
superb physique and a mind and heart
that fits it to perfection, Hon. V. b
Still of Senatobia Mr.. Still is sue
cessful man of wide business interests
whose word Is as good as his bono
with any man who knows him. He is
also somewhat of politician, having
been chosen frequently to represent
his people in various positions OF trust
and Importance, in all of which he &C
Quilted himself with honor. But with
all the good things that his friends
car say of him, it is the great work
that this noble man has done for 9th
ers rather than for himself in which
he finds his truest pleasure. He is a
Mason and lives true to its beautiful
faith and it's high requirements. AS
a member of other fraternal bodies he
has frequent opportunities to put their

and to the faithful observance of these
is due the fact that he is not rich
man. despite his successful business
career. A man of clean hands and
pure heart is this splendid Mississip,
plan, and it speaks well for a State
when her Governor makes choice OF
such men for positions of public trust
With the other member of the bu'
reau, Hon. Frank Burkitt, many OF
nv readers are familiar, because OF
his long connection with that reliable
paper, the Chickasaw Messenger, and
because of his long and devoted public
service. In many positions he has
served his people, and always with a
fearless adherence to what he believed
to be right and just. Capt. Burkitt is
q man of much more than usual abil'
ity. and few men have left clearer
imprint of their own personality on
the times than has this courageous
son of Mississippi. He comes OF a fam
ilv that ranks high in matters OF In
tellect, principle and devotion to the
cause which they espouse as right.
