He stated that large crowd was in
hot pursuit OF Br'e r Bear, but he
feared the quarry might escape, and
he tried to induce some of the MINI

did do, and that was to remain all

towns are springing up so rapidly IN
our own part of the state, we find
ourselves unable TO keep tab ON other
sections. Things have, and are,
changing rapidly in Mississippi.
Only a few years ago the public
spirited editor, who wished to create
the impression that his state was
making rapid strides in material de-
velopment, had hard and tbankless
task. and one which he could not we'll
accomplish without recourse to the

Right here in our county are num-
Der of thriving little towns, not so
much as dreamed of four or five years

Mississippi Railroad is completed

southeast Mississippi is developing
